St. Patrick's Day should be an international holiday and we should all be able to stay home from work.  No wait, the day AFTER St. Patrick's Day should be an international holiday and we should all be able to stay home from work. 

Anyway, if you're looking to celebrate the occasion, Reno is certainly the place to be.  Well, other than Ireland.  First Ireland, then Reno.  There's always a bunch of ...

I've been accused of being biased because most of my top breakfast joints happened to be centrally located.  Well, I live downtown, therefore, most of my breakfast eating happens at or near my home.  You call it "biased", I call it lazy.  I'll make more of an effort to eat beyond my comfort zone.  I promise.  In the meantime, however, I HAVE GOT to tell you about the Morning Panini at ...

Quickly, the Foo Fighters are playing Friday, Feb. 1st at the Reno Events Center with opening act, Against Me.  I will be there, and I'm hoping that there will be nary a Mento in sight.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here.  If you got it the first time, I expect to be seeing you at the show.

Some of you may remember that in Part I of "Reno's Best Breakfast" I confessed to never having actually eaten at my number five selection, The Stonehouse Cafe.  Well let me tell you...that, my friends, is no longer the case.  In fact, since that shameful confession, I have been there twice, and upon my second visit, enjoyed what just may be the singular most delectable bite of ...

My boyfriend left town yesterday for three weeks, so the other night we went out for a little farewell dinner.  I wore my new heels; he wore a clean shirt.  Apparently he didn't get the memo on the evening's dress code.  And where did he feel like eating?  "Someplace with good beer."  I like a low maintenance man.

My challenge was this: Taking into account our mismatched date night attire, as well ...

I admit it: I've been a slacker lately.  The summer has almost passed, and my postings have been few and far between.  My bad.  I'll do my best to post more frequently, but in the meantime, you should all know that you have only a couple more days to catch the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival before it wraps up Sunday, August 19th.  I know what you're thinking: Shakespeare???  I ...

Tuesday nights haven't been the same since Full House went off the air.  The Satellite Cocktail Lounge is doing something to remedy this problem, with a musical lineup that Uncle Jessie would be proud of.  On Tuesday, June 26th,  Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music is bringing his acoustic solo show to the Satellite stage, with openers Black Year and ...

I realize that this is horribly short notice, but if you're in Reno today, Barack Obama, democratic presidential hopeful, is speaking to the public at 12:30 at Wingfield Park on the corner of First and Arlington.  So if you're interested in politics (or the well-being of America), click here to order a free ticket. 

Note: This is not a political endorsment, but rather an opportunity to get off the ...

Ahhh breakfast.  The people's meal.  Who doesn't like potatoes and bacon and oatmeal with soy milk and blueberries and bananas and cereal with marshmallows that you can save until after you've eaten all of the oat bits and anything else that you can throw into a pan with a bunch of eggs and call a "scramble"?  Reno has some good breakfast places, so allow me to aquaint you with them...

The Reno Wine Walk is back this Saturday.  Once again, for $15, you and your friends (21+) can spend the day drinking wine down by the river.  Now, I've been drinking wine down by the river on my own for years; it's nice to see that the city of Reno has finally decided to join the party.

Here I am practicing:
