I knew I was getting a limited experience but I still saw a bunch and some good close up animals and got some good videos like a tiger pissing and monkey fights. The Polar Bear is SUCH a good boy like seriously. If you want other good spots to check out look at: Andy Warhol Museum Mattress Factory Randyland Carnegie Museum of Natural History Carnegie Museum of Art Phipps Conservatory I know you mentioned wanting to go to the Science Center...That wouldn't be the worst idea, but just know that the exhibits tend to be especially kid-focused. An adult without any nostalgia for it may not be as enthused. Just my two cents though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 I’m surprised this place makes food this late (Eleven) places are closing so early these days it’s hard to get something after 8. Which sucks, because I like to eat later when traveling. I got the Ricotta Camarillo, Crispy Calamari, Beet Salad, and the entire cheese selection. Now to hope there will be a SVU marathon on tv to eat to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same restaurant group also owns Kaya down the street, which is equally fantastic. Depending on your threshold for walking, walking through the Strip (Penn Ave) tomorrow is a big thing, tons of restaurants/bakeries/shops/merchants.

Oh yeah I walked all around there and also the other direction which got me some cool grocery stores and stuff, it’s just I never know what’s good and open late. But it was fun walking around. That day I just went for a big building that looked trustworthy so ate at a place called “Eddie Merlot’s” which I’m assuming is some kind of chain. I had the sea bass though and it was quite fantastic and weirdly their chopped salad left a huge impression on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the absolute best is either Fig & Ash or Morcilla, but it all just depends on what you are feeling. Gaucho is just as good, just a bit more casual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 I decided on science center because they had a Titanic exhibit which was nice. It’s pretty cool here and I think plenty for adults. BUT it is the kind of place as a single adult dude I feel uncomfortable a bit in and would prefer to go with someone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it so far - now I’m at the Rivers casino wasting a $20 bill at video poker. I didn’t realize they had like full on Casinos here! Then just back to the hotel and then eating either pizza or one of those nicer places. My cold is not going away, just morphing, unfortunately. So I’m not really hitting it all too hard.
