Who’s looking at the skid mark walls when you WEARING the rassclot outta that outfit. So cute. You need to include fit check details in these excursions please.

Also, I was a bar friend. Sometimes I’d try to keep to myself but I’m a magnet for people and me sharing my hilarity would cover my tab most times. However, I’d ALSO remark on the stickiness of the floors or seats 🤣

I look forward to following your adventures!

I’ll do an outfit round up just for you! You seem like you’ve never met a stranger in your life as long as they exude good energy. Bar floor stickiness lets me know when to get the hell out lol.

Who is looking at the skid marks when the outfit is so good?! I’ve added all of these places to my NYC spots to visit list for when I finally make it up there.

I live in the suburbs a so the drink culture is non-existent. We barely have a restaurant with a bar in it right now but development is happening quickly so I have hope. For now, my husband and I make cocktails at home. Anything with whiskey or bourbon and sweet tea is going to be a winner.

This summer I’m covering Philly, but NYCs reviews are still up! Hopefully you hit both cities if in the North East long enough.

Thank you on the compliment. I love a matching set, it makes life so easy when going out.

And yes to making do at home! Creating something sweet and special for each other sounds like the start to a great night in.

I mean to come back here and correct that once I started adding spots. I keep a list of them saved by city in Google Maps so I never have to go digging for a list I might have made years ago. It’s all there in the app!

I’ve grown to love making drinks at home. It means I can do my entire nighttime routine except brush my teeth before having a drink or two.

Oooh! 13 weeks of adventure is back! I miss happy hour. I'd say my favorite cocktail is a margarita. However I don't order those during happy hour. I like trying the fancy drinks on the happy hour menus. And if tequila's in it, I'm more than likely ordering it. I used to go to happy hours (when I was in Northern VA) for both the appetizers and the drinks. Can't have one without the other! The social interaction was mainly with my coworkers but I did enjoy meeting others from neighboring companies. I haven't attended happy hour outside of the DC area.

I have a friend in NOVA and she's been changed by the proximity to DC's brunch culture. I was a margarita woman at one point, especially if mixed with mango or strawberry. Pretty much anything fruity will hold me.

I like mango-flavored drinks, too. And I love citrus and tart. I forever compare all brunches to DC brunches. LOL
