I have a trip to Las Vegas next month, and I kept that in mind in choosing today’s Matchbook Monday.
On my last trip to Las Vegas, I visited Tao Restaurant, Nightclub, and Lounge. Located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian (3377 Las Vegas Boulevard South #2025, Las Vegas), it attempts to […]
One of the fun results of writing the series Matchbook Monday is digging through my own matchbooks and discovering fun places that I have been, along with the memories of times well spent. I’ve heard from many readers that they enjoy that same experience.
But everyone in awhile I come across a matchbook that evokes […]
Meals are a big part of a vacation budget, but with a little planning and discipline, it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker.
Here are a few suggestions to help you eat well without breaking the bank:

You had to know that it was just a matter of time before a matchbook for Italy appeared! But I forgot (or lost) so many of the ones that I picked up. Fortunately, my friend Anita picked up some, and this one came from a restaurant that both of us enjoyed on our respective […]

After the church was abandoned in […]
Today’s Matchbook comes from Nathan’s in Georgetown (3150 M Street, Washington DC).
Occupying prime real estate at the corner of Wisconsin & M Streets, Nathan’s fashions itself as a neighborhood saloon. The bar has dark walls with lots of wood and brass, and when I’ve been there, there has always been a sporting event on […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday is from Morton’s The Steakhouse (formerly known as Morton’s of Chicago).
The restaurant chain was founded in 1978, and there are now locations around the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. You can check the full listing of restaurants to see if there is one in your neighborhood.

Today’s matchbook is a contribution from Shane who writes The Tokyo Traveler.
I wish that I could offer up a little more insight as to the location and cuisine of the restaurant, but you’ll have to follow her blogs posts to learn about the food of Tokyo.
Thanks for the contribution, Shane!
If you have a matchbook […]
Today’s matchbook comes from the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia.
I had nearly forgotten about this restaurant, as it has been a couple years since I visited. I tried it out with a co-worker after recommendations from several passengers. It was farther from our hotel that we understood it to be, and […]
