Zeitgeist Coffee

November 4, 2008

I’ve always been a Starbucks girl even though 50% of the time the lattes are horrible, or cold, or taste burnt. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment, but I still enjoy a good White Mocha. That’s probably why I keep going back – the eternal hope that this time my drink will be delicious [...]

Serious Pie

October 31, 2008

I’m currently in the airport waiting for our red eye back to Boston and feeling literally stuffed to the gills from days and days of fabulous food, coffee, and booze. In fact, CK and I just had our last Seattle dinner at Serious Pie which ended up being one of the places we deemed fabulous [...]
