One of the best hotels in Philadelphia!

Wed, 7 May 2008 16:04:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I've stayed at many hotels in Philadelphia, but none comes even close to the level of service or comfort at the Sofitel. First, the concierge and front desk staff are excellent and provide the highest level of service. They were able to book a rental...

Stay away from this place!

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:51:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Despite the oceanfront location of this hotel, I would avoid it at all costs. While the lobby looks inviting, the rest of the hotel is falling apart and looks very shabby. Guest rooms were dirty, especially the bathrooms. A musty smell pervades the...

Check out the brunch!

Sun, 23 Jun 2002 20:44:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I went to the Turtle Bay Grill & Lounge for brunch today, and I must say that it was absolutely fantastic. Don't be fooled by the bar-like appearance of the Turtle Bay, because when you check out the food selection and quality, you'll think you were in...

Choose Roy's For An Upscale Meal

Thu, 12 Jul 2001 00:05:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - If you are in the downtown area looking for a restaurant for a business meal, I would highly recommend Roy's, located inside the New York Marriott Financial Center at 85 West Street, New York, NY 10006. Roy's is two blocks south of the World Trade Center...

Don't miss this ancient city

Tue, 10 Jul 2001 22:22:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - A little history: Pompeii was built by the Oscans most likely around the 9th to 8th century B.C. The town developed on lava terraces formed many centuries earlier. The city was subject to Greek and Etruscan influences. In 80 B.C., Pompeii became a...

Googies Hits The Spot!

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 23:03:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Googies bills itself as an Italian diner. I never really get the impression the place is Italian, but it sure is good whatever image it wants to put forth. Googies' portions are over-generous, served on giant plates. It's a challenge to finish an...

Fly America West For A Good Deal

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:01:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I recently flew America West to Las Vegas and had a pleasant flying experience. My flights were all on time with the exception of one leg due to unruly passengers who would not sit down.

I found the service and professionalism of America West's...

GREAT CHEAP FOOD!

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 22:05:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author informer - First of all, I want to say that I have never stayed at the Excalibur, but that has not stopped me from enjoying the great food and gaming at the hotel.

Let me start with the food - as far as I'm concerned, the Excalibur has the best value for your...

Tropicana: Get Good Value For Your Money But Don't Expect Luxury

Thu, 31 May 2001 22:22:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I stayed at the Tropicana in April 2001. What led me to choose the Tropicana? Well, it was the cheaper rates they had compared to other hotels, its good location on the Strip, and their indoor pool. Let me go into more detail:

On a weekday...

Why aren't there more Cosi Sandwich shops?

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 22:28:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Let me start this review by saying that I have been waiting in eager anticipation for the Cosi Sandwich Bar / Xando to open in the World Trade Center for the last several weeks. It should be opening in mid-January 2001 for others out there who are...

Skip this place and go to McDonald's

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 12:33:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I have eaten at the Johnny Rockets restaurant on 8th Street in Greenwich Village in New York City on two occasions. I have been extremely disappointed both times.

First, the service was absolutely horrible. We waited approximately 10 minutes...

JetBlue is the best discount airline!

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 11:11:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I recently had the pleasure of taking JetBlue to Buffalo. I am not usually someone who will take discount airlines, let alone the major airlines, because I do not enjoy flying and try to avoid it at all costs. However, flying on JetBlue was an...

The Cyclone is the world's best roller coaster!

Tue, 4 Jul 2000 12:36:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I live in New York City, but not too close to Coney Island. Nevertheless, I try to make it down to Coney Island at least once a summer. I should first start with an overview of Coney Island. Its heyday was back in the 1950s and 60s when it was a...

I'm craving some White Castle right about now!

Mon, 29 May 2000 11:45:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - With a White Castle a scant two blocks away from me, it is tempting to pop in for a burger each day. But thoughts of my daily fat intake and my health stop me. Let me explain.

Like a Nathan's hot dog, there is nothing that can come even...

Go to Coney Island Immediately!

Sun, 28 May 2000 19:10:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I wasn't going to write a review on Nathan's until I started reading some of the others. I was dismayed to find people writing opinions on Nathan's without having eaten at THE Nathan's in Coney Island, the famous original Nathan's. Forgive me for not...

Too many choices!

Sun, 28 May 2000 10:16:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Every time I go into Baskin Robbins, I feel overwhelmed, as if I am drowning in a sea of ice cream flavors and I can't grasp onto one! I can never decide whether to choose, let's say, the mocha chip, or the Kahlua Fudge! With truly 31 different,...

The best & healthiest "fast food"

Sun, 28 May 2000 09:58:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Let me start off by saying that I cannot rave enough about Boston Market. I could probably eat there every day for lunch and dinner if I had the extra cash. There used to be a Boston Market one block away from my apartment, but it has since closed,...

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 12:26:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author informer - With the Fleet Edvance Platinum Mastercard, you earn one point for each dollar you spend. Once you reach 2,500 points ($2,500 in purchases), you get a $50 Series EE US Savings Bond. Calculating the percentage, this comes out to be 2% cashback.

You'll be waiting in line

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 01:27:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I'm going to come straight out and say that you should expect to be waiting in line for the Statue of Liberty for at least five hours. I remember the line more than I do the actual statue. All the waiting in line and then you walk up to the top, look...

The Strip is where it's happening

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 01:17:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - On my Las Vegas trip, I stayed in the Imperial Palace, which is located roughly in the middle of the Strip. If you don't have a mode of transportation, try to stay somewhere in the middle of the Strip, but even if you are at one of the hotels on the...

Tear this hotel down already!

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 21:38:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I visited the Imperial Palace in late July. The reason I chose the Imperial Palace was because of their really cheap rates -- somewhere around $39 per night for a two-bed room. But the cheap rates were the only good things going for this...

This is real New York

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 23:58:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - The Carnegie Deli is my favorite deli in New York, or for that matter, anywhere in the world.

While the Carnegie Deli may not look like the most glamerous restaurant, its cozy feel and hometown atmosphere make it special. Pictures of...

Isabella's is a must try

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 11:45:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Positioned directly on the corner of 77th Street and Columbus Avenue, Isabella's is in a great location, across the street from The American Museum of Natural History and the new Hayden Planetarium, and a block away from Central Park.

Sam's is the best Chinese food in New York

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 11:33:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author informer - Let me just start off by saying that Sam's Noodle Shop is my favorite Chinese food in the entire city. Coming from someone who eats Chinese food on a regular basis, this is not a liberal statement, but a carefully considered review based on many, many...

It's not real BBQ but it's a lot of food

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 11:01:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author informer - I would be lying if I said that Dallas BBQ had authentic BBQ food. It doesn't. The BBQ chicken is more like baked chicken with some BBQ sauce painted on the outside. What's even more disappointing for me is that Dallas BBQ doesn't serve pork, a staple...
