Chunky Monkey Newport, RI. Excellent food. In NYC Chat and Chew.

In Wash DC, there is a chain of coffee bars called 'Capitol Grounds' -- only in DC.

And one of my favorite coffee bars is "Jolt 'n' Bolt".

Good call. Pu Pu Hot Pot is hands down the worst Chinese restaurant in the Boston area, and it has a lot of competition for that title.

There's a bar in Fell's Point in Baltimore called "The Horse You Rode In On".
Mr. GradGirl used to call it "The Horse You Went Home With".

There's also a great place to stay in Fell's Point, "The Admiral Fell Inn"

Crabby Dick's in Key West

:eek:

I recently found a coffee-house operation in Arlington, TX called Atomic Grounds.

In Little Rock, AR (presumably near the court house) is Sufficient Grounds.

Aesop's Tables in Wellfleet (Cape Cod), Mass.

"Dick's Last Resort"; home of the Big A$$ Beer

"Like Like" - Honolulu, a small local spot we frequented near Ala Moana. I always laughed when hearing tourists call it the Like Like as in "I like that ..." vs. Licky Licky as in "quick quick".

"St. James Infirmary" (restaurant) - Mtn. View, CA, http://latc.com/1996/07/22/special_sect/mtnview2.html
atmosphere vs. food was the draw
Not to be confused with St James Infirmary, a comprehensive health & occupational injury clinic for sex workers up the road in San Francisco. http://www.stjamesinfirmary.org/


"Liquor and Redemption Center" Seen on June road trip in Maine (forgot town) sold liquor & redeemed empty souls or was it bottles & cans???

A bit of history: Princess Likelike (lee-keh-lee-keh) was a member of Hawaiian royalty, the younger sister of Princess Liliuokalani, and a leader of the music society scene in Hawaii.

You've probably also seen her namesake highway, just off the H1, between HNL and Waikiki.

BTW, it's wiki-wiki (wee-kee-wee-kee) that means "very quick."

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about Likelike and wiki-wiki. ;)

As in the shuttle between the main and inter-island termnals at HNL? I'm at odds with myself about whether or not the name fits ... I s'pose sometimes yes, sometimes no. (We need an emoticon for "Hang loose!") ;)

Yelp, wiki-wiki is really the correct phrase for very quick. ^

Using LikeLike for "quickie quickie" is a 'personal thing' hubby & I started years ago when visiting Honolulu every few months. We always headed to Like Like for a huge bowl of saimin & food at good prices vs. paying "fine dining" prices. We spent our fine dining $$ at the La Ronde, which I understand, is now named Top of Waikiki. It was a pleasant surprise when google revealed both were still in business. I haven't visited either on more recent trips. :(

FWIW, La Ronde was the world's 1st revolving restaurant (1961). The designer/builder opened another atop the Seattle Space Needle the following year. History must begin somewhere. :)

The "Gobble 'n Go" on the Royal Mile in EDI. Looked like a dive -- did not try it!

Speaking of Prohibition...
There's a bar/restaurant in NYC (Columbus and 84th iirc) called Prohibition. I met the owner at a tradeshow and went by the restaurant on my next trip to the city. Live music every night. We had a blast.

There was the Dew Drop Inn t Greenwich and Perry in the Village in NYC. I used to go there when a student in the 1980s...used to be known for having bottled beer from just about everywhere in the world...

There used to be a number of "Road Kill Cafe's" in rural Maine. The hyperlink is the menu from the one in Greenville Junction. I ate at one in Rangeley Lakes a while back.
