I previously reviewed Azul Tequila Bar and Grill in Hudson, Wisconsin back in 2019 so it was about time for a refresh! The main difference was that this time I was able to experience the patio!

StandardI first reviewed Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar in 2019 and then again for their dog friendly menu later that year, but I felt like it was about time for an update!

StandardI have made absolutely ZERO secret about my love of an espresso martini so when my friend (and co-espresso martini adventurer) messaged me that today, March 15th was National Espresso Day I was obviously PUMPED.
I’m going to do a quick and dirty Top 5 of my favorite ones around the cities for those who want to celebrate with me!

StandardThe Lake Elmo Inn restaurant is an East suburbs icon that until now I have never eaten at. For our wedding in late 2022 we received a gift card from my best friends parents with a note that they wanted to provide us an experience to one of their favorite places, which was beyond sweet and exactly the kind of thoughtful gift I love. So I was excited when husband reminded me that we had it and suggested it would be a great place to go for Valentine’s Day.
He was right…something I don’t usually admit haha.

Continue readingSaint Paul Brewing | St. Paul, Minnesota
StandardI’ve previously dedicated an entire Hipster Hack to my love of the Saint Paul Brewing patio and the eclectic seating vignettes, but now that it’s too cold to be outside (remind me why I live in Minnesota again?) we’ve been able to experience the back of the brewery, which also homes a bunch of eclectic seating areas and funky, recycled designs.
Cliff notes: this brewery is my absolute favorite. But keep reading if you require more evidence 😂
