Treasure Island has fast become one of my favorite hotels on the Las Vegas Strip.  The quality for price ratio is pretty high, in my opinion. The rooms are very nice, the casino has pretty much everything you’d want a casino to have including more than one video poker bar, the location is outstanding, and [...]

Nobody has asked me this yet, but I imagine some visitors to my blog might get confused sometimes about why I write so many restaurant reviews at SoloFriendly.com.  Isn’t this supposed to be a solo travel blog?  Shouldn’t I just be talking about the solo travel experience and let sites like Chowhound worry about restaurant [...]

Isla Mexican Kitchen is a very casual name for a not so casual restaurant at Treasure Island, Las Vegas.  Isla is one of Chef Richard Sandoval’s restaurants–Sandoval being a James Beard award winner and native of Mexico.  I was happy to be able to try this restaurant on the last night of my September trip [...]

Il Fornaio is an upscale Italian restaurant chain with locations in California, Washington, Virginia, Colorado, and New York, New York Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.  I had a solo dinner at the Las Vegas branch back in September.  I made an early reservation for around 5:30pm so I would have a choice of seating, [...]

I’m always looking for new, solo-friendly places to eat when I go to Las Vegas.  Because my last trip was longer than usual for me, I needed to stretch my budget with some low-priced meals.  During my research, I read that Ra Sushi at the Fashion Show Mall had great prices and decent food.  Ra [...]

While I was in Las Vegas in early September, I was able to take advantage of Restaurant Week. During Restaurant Week, a number of Las Vegas restaurants offer prix fixe menus at a reduced price and donate proceeds to Three Square, a local charity which feeds the hungry. It’s a nice way to try [...]

Just a little news to share:  I have written a guest post for my friend AJ over at the Disney Food Blog on Dining Alone at Disney World.  Check it out!  If you’ve ever contemplated a solo trip to Disney World and wondered what it would be like to eat alone, it offers some strategies [...]

You know how sometimes, you just get a craving for a good burger and nothing else will satisfy?  That happened to me at Disney World in May.  I was there for a week, and I had amazing, tastebud-tantalizing, flavor-explosion meals every day, but by the end of the week, I craved nothing more than I [...]

I’ve always loved the Morocco pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase.  It is easily (for me) the most attractive and photogenic “country” in Epcot. The exotic architecture is stunning, the courtyard fountains lovely, and no matter how long I spend poking around the alleyways and nooks and crannies, I always find the most amazing attention to [...]

There is a Planet Hollywood restaurant in many major cities around the world, so naturally, there has to be one in Orlando, and that one is located in Downtown Disney.  Since the first time I ate at a Planet Hollywood (I believe I had a burger), this restaurant has not been high on my list [...]
