Heidi "heidigoseek" B.'s Profile

The food isn't overly fantastic, but it's cheap and they do deliver.  Not only do they deliver but they accept credit card for delivery.  If you are desperate for Chinese in Ann Arbor (at a reasonable price even), then this place is ok.

It's not the best pub in the world... actually I found it a little depressing, but it is near Euston Station so it's convenient for a quick drink or two before catching a train.

This place is so touristy but I like it.  I think I drank the best organic wheat beer I've ever had here (but I was incredibly thirsty when I got in!) The restaurant food was pretty good too.  Prices are ok for a London tourist-type pub... they serve both a sit down menu and typical pub food (which would be a little cheaper if you're looking for value).  I thought it was a good find.

I didn't eat here, unfortunately, but the food looked good (I should have eaten here, I ended up at a chain instead).  My cappuccino was excellent and the wifi was free.  If I'm wandering around London in this area again I would definitely go back.

Caffe Nero is a decent chain... though I've had better coffee elsewhere.  I was hungry and in need of caffeine when I stopped.  I have to say the carrot and coriander soup I ate was pretty delicious.

Though there is a more unique place a few more yards down the street that I missed because this was the first place I stumbled into.

It looks like a nice pub in Soho, only stayed for a pint and no complaints, other than they were quick to get us out of there at closing time... I do like pubs that a least allow me to finish my drink without having to chug it down.

Cheap and convenient.  Of course Travelodge is usually bleak accommodation, but as far as London goes, who really wants to spend time in their hotel room anyway?

Stopped by here to meet up with a friend... I know it's a chain, but as chains go I like this one.  Their drink prices are a little high, but their food is reasonable, and they're often open late (or in our case open on Sunday, while the first place chosen to meet wasn't).

Without a doubt my favorite pub in Birmingham. It has a great atmosphere and the best service. I've had a meal once here and it was fantastic!  It's on my short list of regular places.

My biggest impression of the Hayes center was how disorganized everything was. There was no order to the artifacts, and even the house has been restored in different times (the family occupied the house until the 60's so the styles vary).

As a librarian I was upset at how poorly labeled the public museum exhibits were, but impressed with the actual research library.

The house can only be viewed by tour, which is unfortunate. The tour guide was nice but focused too much attention on the youngest member of the tour, and only child. At one point I got bored, stopped listening to the tour and would look at the rooms after the others moved through the room.

I visited the Hayes Center when I was younger on a school field trip.  It seemed the kids were enjoying it more than I was so this is probably a good spot to take children who are interested in history.  

The grounds are also nice, there were horse drawn carriage rides going around the day I was there.  There are some good points to the museum, but overall I was more disappointed than pleased with it.
