    I'm in Seaside, FL for a week. Any good restaurants/cafes around?

    Over the next two weeks, I will be travelling alone to Buffalo and Rochester, NY for work. I'm looking for some places where I can find a solid burger and big beer list. I'll also have a lot of free time in the afternoon and evenings. Any attractions or events I shouldn't miss?

    Not a solid burger, but definitely check out Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate. You won't be disappointed.

    Not sure if they have locations in Buffalo as well, but in Rochester there's Macgregor's Grill & Tap, they have something like 150+ beers on tap and decent food to go with it. You'll want to avoid TC Rileys across the street after like 8pm when the students take over and they turn the music up to 11 and it takes 20 mins to get a beer.

    Second the garbage plates though, they have them in Buffalo and Roc. Excellent drunk food. In Buffalo they also have their famous Beef on Weck sandwiches, but I never thought they were anything special.

    If you pass through Niagra Falls, Sammys has really good pizza and wings (better than, believe it or not, the fare in Buffalo itself)

    It's at 1400 Hyde Park Blvd

    The Anchor Bar is the home of the buffalo wing. I've been once before and the wings are good, as you would expect. Worth it if you're grabbing a quick bite to eat and like food history.

    Going to Nashville the weekend of Oct 14. Looking for advice on where to stay/where to go, especially trying to find a hotel within stumbling/cheap cab distance of some bars with live music. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There are a ton of good options downtown. The Renaissance is really nice and super close to everything. Everything on Broadway is good drinking fun. Stay away from Printer's Alley. 2nd Avenue is also pretty nice. There is live music everywhere.

    Have fun!

    Check out Blackstone Brewery. Great beer and food (the applesauce is the tits). The Station Inn has live bluegrass every night and is an experience, even if you don't love bluegrass. Provence bakery is awesome and has great breakfast/lunch options too. (I have a friend that lives in Nashville mail me their lemon cookies, they're that good.)

    I'm gonna be in Chicago next weekend for a wedding. I'll be busy at night, but pretty free during the days, so if anybody has any suggestions or whatever, lemme hear them. I've never been before, so it'll all be new to me.

    I'll be heading to Green Bay next weekend for the potential NFC Championship Game. I'll be flying into Milwaukee on Friday the 20th and staying the night there before renting a car and driving up to GB. I'm looking for a hotel recommendation for that night. The hotel itself isn't really a priority so much as the area of town to book in. I'll be with two friends, both late 20's to early 30's, so ideally we'd stay in an area of town where we could walk to several bars that the young professional crowd frequents. Any suggestions?

    We always stayed at the casino by the airport (Hochunk or something). Its not down town but GB is fairly small. Just a thought.

    Are you a business owner or decision maker within a business? Are you in the SF Bay area? Do yuppies and techies make up your target market? I have a great sponsorship opportunity for you with a very well established, highly regarded community nonprofit in SF. PM me!

    I'm going to be in Forth Worth for two days at the end of the month to interview, any places I have to go? If all goes well I might be moving out there, so I'm trying to get a feel for the place. I'm staying at the Renaissance on the corner of 1st and Main but I'll have a rental car so distance isn't really an issue.

    If you work in an office in Michigan and think your company could benefit from a new phone system or managed IT services then PM me. I'm not a sales person but the IT/Voice engineer responsible for doing the work. Our company specializes in SMBs in healthcare, insurance, and manufacturing industries but we have a very diverse customer base and product line. I figured it was worth a shot since we have so many tech savy folks here. Our company does good and work I have no problems standing behind it.

    This is a long shot, but does anyone have any professional connections to Oahu, HI? I have my BS in Biology and have been applying for jobs at environmental remediation companies with no success. I will probably try for some sort of clerical work in the meantime, since there seem to be a lot of those jobs available, but would love to be able to use my degree in my job. Thanks in advance!

    I'll be heading down to Tampa at the end of the month for a week. Anybody have any suggestions on some "must-see" places or eateries? Also, I'm thinking about trying to catch a Rays game while I'm down there. Anyone have any experience with the stadium area and could offer any pointers? And if anyone is just looking to hang and grab a beer, I'm down for that too. Thanks.

    Could anyone here from the Denver area PM me? I have 101 questions about your fine mountain town. Okay, maybe not that many. But I do want to inquire about several costs-of-living, such as rent around various neighborhoods and other things I couldn't necessarily learn from this website.
