Southern California Living
Anything & Everything, at all hours.
Grab a seat at the bar, have a cold beer & some tacos and watch the waves. Love it here.
Duke's Malibu
If you know, you know. People come from all over for the food, the view (County Line Beach - just walk right across the street 😁) and the motorcycle crowd that lines up out front.
Neptune's Net
One of my favorite places to mountain bike! The climb is extreme, but so well worth it! Wait until your speeding downhill at 13mph!!!
Stough Canyon Mountain Bike Trail, Burbank, California
Fresh fruit, exotic finds and great argentinian wine. Local gem.
Yucca Supermarket
Got my boards from here!!! Just a hop, skip and jump from Venice Beach.
RIDER SHACK Surf Shop
Pole dancing classes...of course I did!
Luscious Maven Pole Studio
Yes. Yes, I did. Crack a whip.
Hollywood Whip Guys
Water so clear you would think you were somewhere tropical. One of my many surf spots.
Zuma Beach
Want to climb down rocks and then paddle out? When you catch a wave here, you might be able to ride it for quite a few minutes!
Amazing service. Booked hotels as I drove across country. Saved money and they were so easy to use!!!
Orbitz
My corner coffee spot in Cali. ❣️
Starbucks
Surf spot.
Guide to Pacific Beach Beaches - San Diego Tourism Authority
Atmosphere and weirdness, enjoy.
Frolic Room
Pole, heels, voyeurism and eclectic crowds.
Jumbo's Clown Room
Divey in the best possible way.
Burgundy Room
Since 1949. The vibe is everything. A must.
Miceli's Italian Restaurant
Opened in 1919. To me it was like an old creepy, cafeteria style throwback. BUT you must go to experience it and have a martini. You get a sidecar with your martini! That means a lot more alcohol than you bargained for.
Musso & Frank Grill
Every Saturday night, for one year, at the show, by myself. Yes. Really. 😁
The Hollywood Men Male Strip Club
Fun, fun...FUN!
Hamburger Mary's WeHo
The horses are treated well and the ride is beautiful.
Los Angeles Horseback Riding
You must go!! But... this is technically not a safe area. Be aware, don't bring unnecessary things.
Echo Park Swan Boats by Wheel Fun Rentals
Freshest flowers and all kinds of goodies!
Hollywood Farmers’ Market
One of my go-to stops after taking my dog hiking at the beach. Quaint and perfect.
Waterlily Cafe
The parking is a challenge. Heading east on santa monica, you take a right sharp turn into a very narrow alley, you will find the parking in the back.
This little hole in the wall market, houses a variety of argentinian wines, empanadas and sandwich...
Catalina's Supermarket
This joint has the vibe. Harvelle’s has that smoky, dim, old-school lounge feel, as though you time-traveled. Sexy, unforgettable burlesque, intimate space, and old world jazz. 😍
Harvelle's
I drove nine hours up the coast with my friend and our two dogs, and we found this little gem near where we stayed! Great pizza and the staff was really nice. I love Santa Cruz because everything feels surfy. 😍
Pizza My Heart
East Coast Life
Finding the gems in small towns.
Stomping ground for great boots and cold wear.
Bass Pro Shops (Formerly Cabela's)
Tough little surf spot, at the very end of road, tucked away. Dog friendly. Small sandy beach. Perfect.
Matunuck-Deep Hole Surf Forecast and Surf Reports (Rhode Island, USA)
Great tacos and cool vibe. Mmmm
Sol Toro Restaurant
Cool ass thrift store. Clean, neat and retail worthy. The older woman that worked there are volunteers and they're as sweet as can be, well maybe are cranky, but wouldn't you be too when you get to be their age.
Maria's Treasures
Tremendous beauty. The water's power is breathtaking.
Yantic Falls (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Cozy, comfortable, and beer or wine!
Mystic Luxury Cinemas
Been, done that. Yes. Yes, I did. And I have the t shirt to prove it. 😂
HighFlyer Zipline at Foxwoods
All aboard! Great fun!
Dinner Train – Essex Steam Train & Riverboat
Go paddle boarding with your dog! I took my dog, Mr. Franklin for his bucket list before he passed away.
Rhodes Collar: Dog Training, Classes, Day School, Mystic, Stonington CT
Ride along or take a class and drive with a pro! I did ride along.... holy fucking balls!
Connecticut (New England) Thompson Speedway - Racetrack Driving ...
Great food and the owner takes tremendous pride in everything. I happen to prefer sitting at the bar for dinner. Great Argentinian wine.
Bella Fiore - Norwich
Pizza pie, that's amore. Real Italian pizza. People make treks to get this pizza. It's a legend since 1925.
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana
Quaint, charming and good pizza. Became popular after the movie Mystic Pizza (1988) came out!
Mystic Pizza
Hidden gem, you have to know about it.
Captain Scott's Lobster Dock
Burritos 🔥
EL CHARRITO MEXICANO - Updated December 2025 - 22 Jewett City Rd, ...
This is on my adventure list! I'm pretty sure I visited this place when I was a child but only a faint recollection.😁
Harkness Memorial State Park
Wide coastal trails, water on both sides, and enough space to actually breathe. Quiet in a real way, not curated. Dogs are welcome on leash, and you’ll often see horses riding through, which somehow just fits the whole calm, timeless feel. One of tho...
Bluff Point State Park
Heard this band on a saint patrick's day at the harp & dragon! FUN!!!
Don't Tell Lisa (@donttelllisaband)
The gem hidden away, great atmosphere, but my favorite part is the tiny little rooftop bar. Find yourself outside on a warmer summer evening, having a nice cold beer.
Harp & Dragon Pub
Want to take a stroll and a quaint little town along the water? Grab a slice at the famous mystic pizza? Have a cone and sit by the water? Watch the drawbridge pull up? Then this is your place.
This Is Mystic, CT
Halloween Haunted Attractions
My favorite holiday! I love a good freaking scare!
" I love Halloween, it's freaking bats!"
One of my favorite haunted house attractions! This place is that it's intensely scary, there was a room that you walked through fog, strobe lights, it feels surreal like you're walking through a lake. The fog...
