@ -62,10 +62,13 @@ This year I had to work the day before, the day of, and the day after Valentines
Happy birthday to me! My husband took me out here for my birthday per a recommendation from some acquaintances at church. After spending the entire day shopping we headed here for dinner. Luckily my birthday was on a Sunday this year so there wasn't't too long of a wait; just long enough to walk around the nearby Target. Once we were seated we were directed to create an account and upload our credit card information and start ordering. You ordered one thing at a time through this account and then when you were done you closed it out and paid through your phone. Our food was brought to the table by different members of the staff each for each item we ordered. The restaurant also told us they pride themselves on paying their staff a livable wage for Raleigh. (Side note that livable wages will look different based on your location. Now to rant about the negatives of my experience. There is no physical menu, and they do not accept cash. I think it is an unfair assumption that all patrons will both have access to a smart phone and understand how to order/pay. Not mention they then add on a tip your server with the minimum being 20% when you did not even have a server in the first place. (Livable wage???) The food was alright and the drinks were okay. They mainly serve street tacos so they were on the small side. Order more if you have growing boys in your party. The atmosphere was instragrammable with hanging baskets around the light features and warm lighting, but overall it left much to be desired. Not to mention the lack of parking meant walking quite a way to even get to the door. I will not be returning to this restaurant any time soon. 3/10 Happy birthday to me!

#### Trophy Brewery - Raleigh, North Carolina #### Trophy Brewery - Raleigh, North Carolina
Apparently millennials have a thing for microbreweries and as a zillenial I feel it is important to keep this alive. Trophy is the best place to go and drink a beer and play a game if you go to their tap room or eat a pizza if you are at their restaurant. The beer is much better out of the tap than a can with my personal favorite being the Milky Way. While at their brewery I love to play games with my husband or my brother when he is in town. It is the perfect vibe to chill out and rewind after a long day with the low lighting and swanky music. You cannot go wrong with any of their pizza choices and they have something for every diet. This is a 10/10 place that everyone should visit when in Raleigh. Apparently millennials have a thing for microbreweries and as a zillenial I feel it is important to keep this alive.

#### Toast - San Francisco, California #### Toast - San Francisco, California
This is a nice restaurant on Church Street in San Francisco, about 2 miles from the Bay. The first thing I noticed walking in is it's a very *thin* restaurant, not very open concept. It has some seating at the front and a bar in the back, where they serve all the standard brunch drinks like mimosas and also specialty coffee. The prices were very reasonable for San Francisco (emphasis on "for San Francisco"), my Godfather (Italian) omelet was $18.95 and is the best Italian omelet I've ever had. It had just the right amount of cheese, and I have no idea what they did to the sausage but it was delicious. My wife got the Eggs Benedict ($17.95) and that was delicious as well. To drink, we got an iced Latte and a Cappuccino, both of which were $5.50 but nothing special in my opinion. From the outside, it's nothing to talk about but the only thing that matters for a restaurant is on the inside. I will definitely visit this restaurant again, but due to the limited seating I would not come any time from 9:00-1:00. 7/10
#### Round House Cafe - San Francisco California
This is a historic art-deco diner-turned-coffee shop a stones throw away from the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge. Consequently, it features a beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay due to its windowed circular construction. They technically serve food, but we just got an americano and an iced latte, both of which were nothing to write home about. Apparently a favorite local roaster set up shop in there but all coffee (especially americano) tastes the same to me so that isn't really an imporant consideration. What astonished me were the prices, my americano was $3.00 and my wife's latte was $4.25 which is about the price of Starbucks (which is incidentally about a mile away, but you'd have to be an idiot to go there instead of here). Beautiful views and cheap coffee right on the Golden Gate Bridge. 10/10.
