“At Least It's Convenient”

Hollyworldflowers.Com
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location The location of this place is extremely convenient (if you're headed from the valley into Hollywood or vice versa) so it's a great place to stop by on the way to somewhere. Parking is available in the lot next to the store.

They offer great value for your money. Prices are very low.

Overall, a good deal that is conveniently located.

“Best Mexican in Burbank”

Don Cuco
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location It used to be Mucho Mas but they've gone downhill (food tastes not as good, portions have gotten smaller, and no free refills with $3 sodas) so, now that Don Cuco's has 2 locations in Burbank, especially this one which has far easier parking, this now moves up my list to best Mexican food in Burbank.

“Great for Watching Games”

Barney's Beanery
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location This is the same Barneys Beanery you may know from West Hollywood and other places. The Burbank location has a good-sized LCD monitor at each table so every party can watch what they want. There is also a large "stadium seating" area where you sit in stadium seats and watch a large screen (projector). There is also a nice lounge area that also has a large projector screen. This place is a lot of fun and definitely is a lot more focused on watching the big game than playing pool and such.

“Noah's Ark Exhibit Great for Kids”

Skirball Cultural Center & Museum
Noah's Ark at the Skirball is a permanent exhibit that allows children to play and climb an ark. The kids have fun here. It's great and a lot of fun.

“Don't forget your camera!”

California Pizza Kitchen
We stopped by this CPK in the Fashion Mall for a quick bite late at night. Being a tourist to the area, had my camera with me.

We were the last ones there and the mall was empty but they let us take our time and eat our food. We were seated at a big table outside of the restaurant (but corded off as outdoor seating or the restaurant).

After finishing, we walked half way down the mall when I realized I had left my camera on the table where I was sitting (I know this to be a fact...it's not like I forgot where I put it).

When I got there, I asked them about my camera. The guy who opened the door started shouting out to a few people "have you seen his camera" and everyone replied "No" when asked.

I had to remind them that I we were the last ones there, they had no other customers and were already closed when we left. They shrugged. I started dialing the police and let them know I would be pressing charges. Miraculously, a worker there happened to find it in the seat cushion, wedged in deep enough where you couldn't get to it until you lifted the cushion.

The manager came out and said his people are honest and turn things in all the time. I reminded him I was sitting across from the seat with the cushions in a chair and I knew for a fact it was on the table when I left and that I felt certain someone had stashed it in the cushion to grab it on the way out.

Anyway, if you come here, keep track of your belongings!

“Good Persian Food”

Ali Baba Persian Restaurant
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location The chicken kabobs were great and the rice is delicious.

The service is good. The ambiance and location could be better but, overall, the food was good and worth the price.

“Good Pizza”

Pizza My Heart
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location The pizza there was pretty good. There is plenty of public parking right next door. The one in San Jose had a meeting room that was useful which this one lacked. Relaxed, surfer atmosphere.

“Pumpkin Pies”

Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location Looking for good pumpkin pies for your Thanksgiving dinner? This place bakes them fresh. Every Thanksgiving, you can buy entire Thanksgiving dinners if you're a busy family or just some pumpkin pies to take with you to someone's house. Either way, you can't miss.

“Fried Turkey”

Tasty Q Bar B Que
Frying a whole turkey may be non-traditional but is gaining popularity. Every Thanksgiving, a line starts forming to buy one of these whole turkeys they fry in a vat (try doing that at home). They're pretty tasty...but then again, what doesn't after it's fried?

“Good Food, Bad Service”

Chin Chin Los Angeles
I had been to Chin Chin many times and the food is generally good.

However, on more than one occasion, their service has been poor.

One time, we called to reserve space for a big group. Despite making the arrangements ahead of time, they had us wait for 40 minutes before we walked out since we had already wasted almost our entire lunch. The host was pretty rude about our impatience. That was the primary reason we walked out.

A waiter(?) chased us down trying to bribe us back in with free drinks but by that time our lunch was over anyway. :-(

“Great Thai Food”

A Taste Of Bangkok
The Thai food at this Old Town Pasadena restaurant is great. It is my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is tasty and the ambiance is nice.

There are plenty of options here and I highly recommend it.

“Tourist Trap”

Ghirardelli Square
Friends that live in the area took us here. We were expecting a bit more. There wasn't a whole lot here.

However, there were sundaes that you could buy with Ghiradelli hot fudge on top that was absolutely delicious. That saved this otherwise boring attraction.

“Good Food”

Local Plastering
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location They have some good food here. The Bruschetta is a good appetizer, as is the tomato basil soup. The prime rib is always a good bet for the main dish. Nice atmosphere (a bit dark).

“Good Pizza”

Bostons The Gourmet Pizza
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location They have a good selection of pizza and pastas. This place is within walking distance of The Aquarium of the Pacific. So, if you go to the aquarium with your kid(s), it's nice to stop by a place that has food you'll both like and at the same price as if you ate at the aquarium (but had less/worse) food. Get your hand stamped and leave the aquarium for lunch.

“Afternoon of Fun With the Kids”

Sherman Oaks Castle Park
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location This is a great way to spend some time outdoors with the kids on a nice sunny afternoon. There are multiple miniature golf courses with lots of set-ups, white bunnies roaming some of the grassy areas, ducks in the water areas (especially near the pirate ships), and other things to keep them interested.

There are other outdoor alternatives like a big row of batting cages too!

If you want to grab a bite, there is a food area with some pretty bad food but it will fill those tummies nonetheless.

If playing video games and ticket-winning games is your thing, you can play to win some tickets to trade in for various prizes.

“Great service & food”

Cafe Elegante
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location Greg, the owner, used to work at the Bob's, then Carrow's on Glenoaks before opening Cafe Elegante about 8 1/2 years ago.

The service is great and the food is tasty. Make sure to try the Cornish hen.

“Could Have Gone Either Way”

Arena Hotel
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location I booked the Arena Hotel a day before I had to go to San Jose for a conference through lastminute.com

The next day, about 1-2 hours before check in, a full day after receiving my confirmation number via email, I received an email from Sybil Saiz of innpoints.com (somehow related to lastminute.com) saying "Although, you were able to book a reservation there may have been a system error which allowed this reservation to go through....Please cancel previous reservation and make alternate accommodations." I received this email while in a meeting and now I was sitting there wondering where I was going to sleep that night.

I went to the hotel anyway and they told me that innpoints was supposed to contact me. I told them they contacted me that morning, after I had already made arrangements. They gave me an upgrade at my cheaper rate. I was hapy that they gave me that room but was upset that they were involved in trying to force me into new accomodations with no notice. :-(

However, the room was nice. The building was a bit aged which contributed to its charm but also required wall air conditioning units as no central air system was available.

Overall, the hotel was nice but almost being forced to find a new hotel when none are available due to a nearby conference could have been the cause of a 1-star rating.

“okay pizza”

Pizza My Heart
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location this place is right next to SJSU and has a surfer theme, good prices, & a conference room in the back (great for silicon valley).

Everyone says this is the best pizza in town. The pizza is good but not great. SJ needs better pizza joints.

“Blech”

La Quinta Inn Portland - Convention Center
This was the only Convention-Center-close hotel that still had room available. Most of my friends were at the Doubletree or Red Lion. La Quinta was only one block further from the Convention Ctr than the Red Lion...so I booked it (it was only slightly cheaper than the Red Lion).

I was greeted with a very polite and helpful staff. They were the one saving grace of this entire experience.

They had an indoor, heated pool, an exercise room that was under construction, and are 2 stories.

The room was dark and had a strong funky smell. I opted to smell the smog of the cars driving right outside on Martin Luther King over that funk so I opened the window and left it open.

I couldn't sleep there...all you heard were cars driving by and a very loud refrigerator compressor kicking in every few hours.

When I turned on the shower, brown, rusty water came out. Perhaps it hadn't been used in a while but when I tried it again later, the same thing happened. When I thought the rust was out, I had a shower (my buddy, another yellowbot user, had us walk miles uphill--you know who you are). Have you ever felt dirtier getting out of a shower than when you stepped into it??? Blech!

“Quick and Easy”

Keith Radack DDS
Find.HamptonRoads.com Location I went in, got an injection to put me to sleep in my arm. When I woke up 15 minutes later, my tooth was already gone. Yay! No pain and a bunch of shots in my gums!

They had me lay down for a few minutes then took me around back to hand me off to the person that was there to drive me home. I was a bit off balance for a short period of time but boy was it worth it for such a quick and easy tooth extraction.

Kudos to Dr Radack as well as his staff...they were all very cordial and helpful.
