Turkey Burger

Turkey Burger Finally Clean Organic Lunch! My coworker wanted to get a smoothie and mentioned Purely Pressed Juice Bar. I checked out the web site and to my surprise they also had healthy organic lunch options as well! The smoothies looked great, nice ingredient combinations. I did have the most delicious turkey burger ever! It was served with celery sticks and eggplant dip. There were other side options. You can sit and eat I didn't stay. My order was called in and ready when I got there.   Purely Pressed Juice Bar

New Orleans Palace Cafe

“"Tacky" "Sloppy" ” New Orleans: Palace Cafe "Tacky" "Sloppy" ”  So the atmosphere is nice & the food was too. Everyone else's was anyway.  My coffee was tasty however it was all over the saucer and down the side of the cup.  The worst was when I returned my burger, it was done perfectly how I DIDN'T order it! It was returned to me on the same old bread by now "mushy". Even if they gave the same  Burger they could   change the bread & have a decent cleaned up presentation. It was their mistake!

New Orleans Cake Cafe

“Small, Cozy, GREAT Food & Friendly ” \ Forget "cafe du monde" this is the place to go. Fresh juices, great grits & it's a bakery so it goes without saying the biscuits were pretty darn good!  Nice variety of menu choices.  More locals than tourist, & you pick up your own plates, no worries so worth it! N ew Orleans: Cake Cafe

Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro

“Dr. Michael White & Co. Wonderful! ” “Dr. Michael White & Co. Wonderful!”  They were such a treat & pleasure to listen to. "I love you too much to ever leave you girl" is still buzzing around my head 2 wks. later. Wonderful musicians! Jazz Band. This review is only for the band not the food or the service at this location. It was a pleasant & cozy atmosphere, However, I did not dine there. New Orleans: Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro

Little Caesars

“My Go To” “My Go To”  Inexpensive reliable and always fresh. In and out in 5 minutes and $5 for cheese or pepperoni pizza.   90 percent of the time the pizza is great 95 percent of the time better than the competition. Grew up in Brooklyn I know my pizza it's not NY style but it is good. Southwest Ranches: Little Caesars

Starbucks

“5 out of 7 Days it's my drive thru ” “5 out of 7 Days it's my drive-thru ” Grande White Chocolate Mocha nonfat no whip hot-Starbucks. 95 percent of the time it is perfect and I drive away smiling, ready for the day. Personally, I'm not a fan of the food or pastry at any Starbucks location. Drinks and yogurt are so good. Southwest Ranches: Starbucks

Le Pavillon Hotel

“Awesome, Awesome!” “Awesome, Awesome!”  I can smell clean in to room, the beds are like a cozy nest so comfortable! The architecture is fabulous, no breakfast included but..... Peanut butter and jelly @ 10pm & the best hot chocolate ever is!!! Upscale atmosphere without the fuss. The staff is helpful & friendly. We ate there one day and the food was good. Especially the bread pudding. New Orleans: Le Pavillon Hotel

St Charles Streetcar

“"Nice to do" Activity/Transportation” “"Nice to do" Activity/Transportation”  Pretty cool to ride the street car especially if you have little one's.  For adults ride if possible it's a nice way to get around the city. Cheap too, It was around $1.50 so...get your change ready.   It's like being on a bus that feels like a train. The reversible seats are neat. New Orleans: RTA - Streetcars

La Nouba Cirque du Soleil

“Worth The $$$$$” “Worth The $$$$$”  So worth every dime the show was excellent the vocals were fabulous. We booked "last minute" (day of the show). We were concerned about our jj 207 section-not ideal slight blockage of back center stage. However, there is not a bad seat in the house! Do yourself a favor and go. Orlando: La Nouba - Cirque du Soleil

Singh's Roti Shop

“Giant Roti! ” “Giant Roti! ”  If you have a taste for island food in Orlando go go go!  I had a giant size tasty curry chicken roti that was lunch & left over shared late night snack. Yummy real deal original! We also enjoyed curry chicken & white rice. The current rolls are not bad either. Orlando: Singh's Roti Shop

Disney Springs

“Day Trip all by itself!” “Day Trip all by itself!”  Whoooowhooo parking downtown Disney is free!! From movies and dining to bowling or just walking around & shopping, there's also Disney Quest! You can make a day of downtown Disney. The huge Starbucks was our first stop. Orlando: Disney Springs

Comfort Suites Downtown

“Basic, Clean & Breakfast Included” “Basic, Clean & Breakfast Included”  A little pricy for an economy stay. However, breakfast is included, with waffle station, parking & wifi are free.  Everything is clean, new and freshly painted. No frills!  REFUSE ROOM 139 which we had!! Sheer curtains, view of the pool & next to staff quarters with laundry bins as part of our pool view.  Very close to City Walk/Universal, the surrounding after you get off the main International Drive (located Carrier & Canada Dr. not so visually appealing). The hotel property is fine & safe. Orlando: Comfort Suites Downtown
