Um..... yum

If you're in Rochester, New York, and looking for a bite to eat, try Abyssinia, a traditional Ethiopian restaurant. I've have been going there with my family for years, yet each time I visit, it's like I am going for the first time. From the wonderful smells when you walk in, to fighting over who gets the last injera, it never gets old. For meat eaters, try their beef tibbs, cooked in wonderful spices and juices. For vegetarians and vegans, they have an array of lental and vegetable dishes that smell as good as they taste! So if you're in the mood for a cultural dine, do your taste buds a favor, and have a bite at Abyssinia.

Taichi

If you are a sushi fan, then you have probably heard this name before. Taichi, a Japanese chain restaurant, which recently made its way to my hometown. When I first heard about it, words like "sushi" or "bubble tea" made me think that it was just your average sushi place. But boy was I wrong. When I first walked into the restaurant, I was instantly loving the clean, modern design. The style of the restaurant makes it seem so fresh and unique. When I saw the menu, you cannot imagine my surprise. A sushi burrito? Not to mention the zillions of types and flavors of their bubble tea. The hardest part was deciding on what to order. I finally started to eat the sushi burrito I ordered. Who knew that giant sushi tasted that good! The bubble was a bit on the sweet side, but the mango one I ordered was delicious. If you are a sushi fan (like me), do you taste buds a favor and hop on down to Taichi.

Radio Social

Whether you are a hip teen, or in the mood for a classy brunch, skip on over to Radio Social, a stylish and modern resturaunt/bar/arcade. You can bowl, play corn hole, or even do darts! Then, hop on over to he resturaunt side, and enjoy some light, buttery, pull-apart-bread, or some heavenly fried cheese thingys, with some amaze-craze mango jam. Seriously, my mouth is watering!

Exploratorium thingy

In San Francisco, and looking for something fun for the whole family?  Try the Exploratorium, a hands on museum, exploring touch, sights, smell, sound, and more! You can see all the colors of the rainbow, or, try and earn the trust of your partner in Sip or Spray (Sorry R!). Maybe you would like to see a ghostly image come before your eyes, or perhaps you would like to drink out of a toilet bowl, as I did. (Don't worry, its clean... I think!)

Venice

In old Montreal, and looking for a groovy bite to eat, hop on over to Venice, an Italian, Mexican, Cali fusion restaurants with pizza, tacos, poke-bowls, soups, and salads. With many delicious types of pizzas, it has a place for everyone! But, after we ordered, we had to wait over 1/2 and hour for our food, and it was difficult to have conversation with the loud music and other visitors. Finally, our food came, and I have to say... it was worth the wait! The crispy crusted pizza with the melted cheese, and crisp meat was delicious! And the leafy greens on my friend's pizza was like a salad on a pizza! So... if you decide to venture to Venice, you will find that the wait is well worthwhile!

Universel!

In another universe, far far away..... actually, just in the city of Montreal, lays a restaurants that is out of this world! Universel, a trendy brunch/breakfast place has delicious food, a cozy yet formal enviroment, and serves breakfast till 5 pm! I enjoyed a bagel and lox plate, which came artfully displayed, almost too pretty to eat! (But not to pretty. What? My mouth was watering!) As a "build your own bagel thingy", I was able to choose the amount of salmon, lemon, cream cheese, etc. But, if Lox & Bagels are not your cup of tea, try the apple, cheese, and ham crepe. I comes with delicious and crispy potatoes, and a few strips of (slightly oily) bacon. If you want a sweeter breakfast, try the waffle with cream, almonds, and strawberries. It is as delicious as it is tasty!

Neo Cafe!

Deep in Toronto, anyone who is craving for a sweet treat, or an elegant drink, Neo Cafe is the place for you! With creamy smooth opera cakes, and crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside cream puffs, (and don't forget the decadent hot chocolate) it is a match made in dessert heaven!
