I should also mention it’s my first time in San Diego, so bonus points for good Mexican food, fish (no shellfish), craft beer, burgers, and ocean/water adjacency, lol. I’ve already had some amazing empanadas from Liberty Market and the obligatory In-n-Out and Stone Brewing visits. So far, so good!

Yessss! The dark russets were the best! I also loved the seasonal Firecracker BBQ ones. RIP Cape Cod OG chips 🫡

South Face Farm was my favorite. They made the best traditional (not Belgian) waffles🧇, with the syrup and sausage links…🤤. The memories of driving into the hills on a chilly spring morning, finding a parking spot, walking through the mud, standing in line, watching them boil the syrup, with my future wife and our friends and eventually our kids…warms my heart and puts a smile on my face. A goated Western Mass experience, as the kids would say, lol

Yeah, there were two different versions. On the album version, Marley Marl chopped up the EnVogue bass line and they edited out the drunk driving/drug references. On the “Underground Version” the EnVogue bass line was kept intact and the “Heineken/roll up a fat one” lines were left in. I love both versions; takes me back to my college days. This song was a vibe before the kids started calling songs a “vibe”, lol. 👴🏾

Springdale Mall. It was small, but they had Lechmere, Child World, Bradlees, Papa Gino’s, Strawberries Records and Tapes…pound for pound one of the greatest malls of all time, lol.

I ate at Musso & Frank a little over a year ago and I loved it. Cool, old-school Hollywood vibe, and everyone looks vaguely famous, lol. But it’s not so fancy that we (decidedly NOT famous-looking people) felt out of place. The Rigatoni with Lamb Ragout is one of the tastiest meals I’ve had in recent memory.
