Seeing as they're called Gussie's Chicken & Waffles, you pretty much have to get friend chicken and/or waffles here. Aside from the classic waffles, their sweet potato and red velvet ones are also delicious.

the coffee is good. the line has been super long every time i've been there. The is a heavy hipster attitude from the staff which isn't really what i'm looking for by the time i wait through the line, but if you're wanting a solid coffee, i guess it's worth it.

My two favorite Blue Bottles are at Mint Plaza and Linden Street.

OK, admittedly, this is not a real tree but this artist's tree-like sculptures are so incredible I had to post them. Henrique Oliveira is Brazilian and does amazing, large-scale installations all over the world that are really worth seeing. Make sure to catch him when he's showing at a gallery near OK, admittedly, this is not a real tree but this artist's tree-like sculptures are so incredible I had to post them.

that would be nutzoid

Looks so exotic!

These are actually the roots of the trees, not the trees themselves. The temple was built in the 12th century and was abandoned in the 1400s. It wasn't until the 19th century that it was "discovered" by archeologists.

While a local legend would have people believe that this bike was left by a boy about to go to war in 1914, the real owner of the bike claims otherwise. According to him, he abandoned his bike while playing with friends and just left it against the then young tree.

The design of the hotel hints at traditional Japanese design. Located across the street from the Imperial Palace, the hotel has fantastic views of the city.

Leave it to Prada to come up with something this avant garde. The windows here are actually slightly concave (or convex, depending on where you are), so there's a bubble effect that's pretty great. It's six stories high so there's plenty of great merchandise from which to choose!

The Archaeological Site of Al-Hijr features well-preserved monumental tombs with decorated facades dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. One of 2 World Heritage Sites in Saudi Arabia!

Mada'in Salih (earlier known as Al-Hijr), about 1,111 km west-northwest of Riyadh and about 402 km northwest of Madinah, is one of the not-to-be-missed historical wonders in Saudi Arabia (and unsurprisingly of the whole world).

Mada'in Salih occupies a strategic position on the ancient spice route (Frankincense Route). All caravans crossing the area passed by Al Hijr. This area was said to be very fertile with abundant water. Even though,
Al Hijr was mentioned in various inscriptions of which some dated back to the sixth century BC, all the remaining architectural elements are dated to the Nabataean Civilization that comes between 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD. In July 2008, UNESCO declared Madain Salih as the World Heritage Site.

Places I want to go in Saudi Arabia.

Every corner of this place, which was built in 1888 is gorgeous.

Part of a whirlwind day of touring Paris while on a cruise.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen - up CLOSE! :)

Incredible place but plan your visit carefully as it can be insanely crowded.

Look familiar? It was the site of Celine Dion's very well-publicized wedding in 1994. Makes sense because the place is about as big at the Titanic.

Somehow every time I've made this drive I've screwed up and ended up driving at night...and yet somehow it was still stunning. Not a ton of diversity in it (not like you'll be going through lots of towns or residential areas), but it's still gorgeous.

Beautiful Pacific

Supposedly the waters here are second in temperature only to waters found in Ireland. They run about 98° and are said to cure a variety of ills.

If you've never had a hammam experience this is the perfect place to start. It's even mentioned in the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die" and it was a big favorite of both Tony Curtis and Florence Nightingale (go figure). Like most hammams there's a little cafeteria for an after-hammam tea.

That's not Malibu. That's Pebble Beach.

wow. that is all

I cannot even explain how high this geothermal spa is on my list of places I want to see.

Swimming in the lagoon with some new friends.

With this kind of scenery it's no surprise that this has become such a popular spot for weddings. Many facilities here offer very reasonable packages.

Bora Bora from space. You can see the over water bungalows on the on the right side of the picture... i think that's the St Regis and the Four Seasons.

Now that's what I call a view!

Honeymoon in a former mining town, seriously it's like a ghost town. You sleep in cabins!

Need to go back... I was about 3 when I went.
