Perfect Neighborhood Leather/Western/Bear/Men's Bar
Love the cigar night, wish I were able to get to more of them. This bar takes its community and customers very seriously, and more power to them for doing so! Some very interesting nights and people show up here regularly.
Best damn leather bar in California bar none
Only wish that the Eagle had more leather-related events, but I respect the fact that its owners have many different constituencies and interests that they must represent, and leathermen must be aware of a bigger picture and share the venue.
It's like "Home Sweet Home" in your most vivid dreams!
This city inn always evokes the warmest spot in my heart, and I wish that I could go and stay there at least once a year and make the rounds of all its fantastic rooms. Staying here heightens the entire Seattle/Puget Sound experience, a backdrop that enhances and embellishes every minute of the day. The staff is always warm, friendly, and most importantly, highly competent. They have tremendous pride in their establishment, and their every action demonstrates that pride. Gosh, I wanna go again ASAP!
Every City Should Have a CHOW!
This San Francisco legend of a restaurant is irresistible. Everything on the menu comes up like real home cooking, but not just any home cooking -- the BEST home cooking! I've never ordered anything here that wasn't absolutely first-rate and top-drawer from the soups, the vegetables, the lasagna, the meatloaf, the blue-medal deserving pies and cakes, even the freshly squeezed lemonade. In how many cities across the world have I been on a business trip and wished that a local version of CHOW was there?!
