The Archer Hotel

Over the years, I’ve been coming to the Archer for all sorts of reasons. I’ve come here to drink. I’ve come here to dance. I’ve come here to drown my sorrows. I’ve even celebrated my birthday here. Today, I’m here for the $10 Chicken Parmi. The Archer is a popular venue. Located on the busy…

Sofra

I often find that I’m still hungry after attending a function that only serves finger food. I need a proper meal to get myself through the night.

Astonish Patisserie

Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…
