Am I old fashioned? Maybe. But I just can’t help but smile at the idea of a nice big glass of milk and a few tasty cookies getting me through the night. Someone finally heard my prayers!
At The Cookie Jar, an adorable warehouse of treats in all shapes and sizes, you can sit down at a table alone, with the fam, or with a loved one, get a cup of milk, and choose two cookies to dip, dunk, and slurp into your belly. Of the dozens and dozens made fresh …

Gambling in Vegas? Runway shows in Paris? BBQ in Memphis? Been there, done that. Why not try a new city that is slowly making it’s way up the charts as a destination to be reckoned with?
The Next Vegas… MONACO
Take one part Vegas, and toss out the flashy boobs, screaming college kids, and those pens with the women who take their clothes off when you flip ‘em. Now, add old world classiness, European sophistication, and happy inhabitants who don’t pay for taxes or cable TV- what do you have? You’ve got …

Though the food here is akin to the highest gourmet stops in New York City, the staff carries the easygoing manner that must be attributed to years of tourists …

Isle St. Louis is my favorite spot in all of Paris. This quiet little enclave is just moments from the busting Notre Dame area, but is more like going back in time to the old Paris of American silent films. From bakeries to pubs decorated with silly and sad bulldogs, this is the place to taste France away from the tourist hot spots. The best reason to venture to this tiny isle, Berthillon, of course. This tiny ice cream shop boasts lines down the block for just a simple cone …

It’s true, there’s one Frill Seeker Diary Girl at Jamie Lynn’s Kitchen at least once a week. Maybe it’s the cute little breakfast muffins, maybe it’s the fact that it’s about ten mns from our homes, but for a round-the-corner haunt, Jamie Lynn’s delivers the goods.
The menu on this cute little eatery is chock full of variety, with flavors like Fried Calamari, Pita Salad, and a full range of pasta and fish dishes. Stop by on Sunday morning for a brunch menu, sweet mimosa’s, and a seat at their outdoor …
