My first time was in Maui. It was hot even under the shade of a huge banyon tree. I spotted Lappert’s across the street. It was love at first sight. Colors swirled before my eyes. Frozen goodness refreshed me. 15 years later I find myself eating Lappert’s ice cream again.

Johnny Rockets – UTC
UTC is a short walk to get a meal for me. UTC is an attractive dinner spot as traffic in this area is terrible at dinner time so I don’t like hopping in the car. I tend to alternate between Red Robin and Eureka Burger when I’m in the mood for a burger. I was… Continue reading Johnny Rockets – UTC
