La Columbe, Philadelphia Airport

Image
 A good spot for a quick snack and coffee.   Line moved quickly.  Prices are what I expected for the location.

Zaza Cuban Comfort Food

 Busy place.  Good spot for an early morning preflight snack and coffee.  Prices are what I would expect for an airport location.

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, Orlando FL

 Every now and then you just need yogurt for dinner.   It had been a long time since I had been to a Menchie's.   We enjoyed the flavor choices and the assortment of toppings.

Rock & Brews, Orlando FL

 Rock & Brew If you enjoy music, this is a great place  to visit. We were looking for a place that offered a light dinner and beverages. We started with yummy appetizers and enjoyed a few beverages.  That was perfect.  Tasty and plenty to share.

Renaissance, Orlando Airport

 We had an enjoyable stay.  Free airport shuttle.  Nice pool and conference facility.

Sonny's. BBQ, Orlando FL

 We found this place by accident.  We were in an area where most people drive, and got twisted around cutting through parking lots.  We encountered other tourists who were having the same issue.  They said they had just come from a great Barbeque place.   They directed us to Sonny's.  We had a big lunch so were looking for a light dinner.  Perhaps an appetizer and a sandwich to split.   One of us ordered a grilled cheese sandwich.  But at last minute I caved and ordered the "Special" because I wanted to try the peach chicken.   The waiter said the special was small just a 1/2 a piece of chicken and 2 sides.  It was actually 1/2 a chicken! Everything was delicious  Including the peach drink special.  l would happily go back.

Taco Joy, Watertown NY

 A fun twist on a old stand.   This was one of my go-to spots for a quick lunch or a simple hotdog.  I knew from the name it was no longer a hotdog stand, but I thought no big deal, I'll just get a Taco.   Unfortunately, just a Taco is not an option.  Tacos are only sold in multiples of 3.  I thought maybe it was because of the way the food was already portioned, but they had a deal where you could choose any 3.  I could have gotten a kids meal with 2, but I didn't want a gogurt or a drink.  I ended up with a side order of elote for $6.  Tasty.  A nice snack.  

Scotty's Brick Oven Pizza

 Formerly a foot truck, they opened a store on Public Square .  Ordering and menu are online even when you visit in person.    We ordered a large mushroom pizza.   When the order rang up the price of the topping doubled.  When I questioned it, they explained that they have a lot of people who want different toppings on each side i.e 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni, so they price the toppings by 1/2.    Nice idea, but it could really increase the price of a pie if you are someone who orders multiple toppings.  They still operate the food truck for special events.
