The Albert – Chicago, IL
We recently dined at The Albert, a lively, contemporary restaurant and bar located on the main floor of the Hotel EMC2 in downtown Chicago. We were staying at the hotel, so we’d made the choice partly out of convenience on the first night of our trip. Both hotel and non-hotel guests alike were streaming in […]
Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House – Vancouver, BC
We dined early at the popular Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House in downtown Vancouver, BC prior to taking in the much-anticipated Pearl Jam concert at Rogers Arena (the first show of their phenomenal Dark Matter Tour).

Bonus points if you, like us, have escaped frozen-in-moments temperatures and blizzard conditions. Having said all this, we might have been […]
Copley’s Restaurant – Palm Springs, CA
Palm Springs is a colourful oasis in the desert, an art-deco paradise infused with the playful side of old Hollywood. But tucked away from the blazing sun, the more kitschy sites, and the boisterous tourist-laden shops and eateries, is Copley’s – a fine dining restaurant that succeeds in being casual, elegant and romantic all at […]
