I have fallen in love with Trader Joe's. My mom and I went there because we both heard wonderful things about their bruschetta sauce, which turned out to be heavenly. Trader Joe's bakes their own fresh breads (where else can you get whole wheat baguettes?) and makes their own sauces to perfection. They sell sweet organic fruits, dark chocolate with pure cocoa, a large amount of fresh cheese (hard and soft, every type imaginable), and an array of exotic juices. If you're no chef, you can easily combine some of their ingredients for a five-star restaurant tasting meal.
I used a soft, whole wheat pita, their delicious & fresh basil & garlic bruschetta sauce (it's what good Italian restaurants put on bread; if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, you *must* try their bruschetta sauce), their shredded mozzerella cheese, some chicken, green pepper, and onion, and made the most delicious pizza. It satisfied my craving, and was healthy & entirely guilt-free.
I also found some beautiful orchids and had a hard time deciding which one I wanted! All of their plants are healthy and well-nourished; they sell flowered cacti, bamboo plants, and orchids. It was much more gorgeous than the ones Target sells, much more healthy, and less expensive (only $20, where it's double that in many floral shops).
In fact, Trader Joe's keeps their prices low everyday. No sales, no bargains - just everyday low prices. Delicious, high quality foods that supermarkets lack, for one tasty meal. <3 Trader Joe's <3

Seneca Golf Course is horrible and shouldn't be chosen by anyone - amateur golfers or experienced alike. It has 36 holes and two courses labeled "A" and "B," but they seem identical to one another....
Seneca Golf Course is horrible and shouldn't be chosen by anyone - amateur golfers or experienced alike. It has 36 holes and two courses labeled "A" and "B," but they seem identical to one another. It's poorly-maintained; everything looks sloppy and illy taken care of, and the greens are pretty flat. Since the holes run parallel to one another, there's hardly any privacy or solitude.
Overall, this is a horrible golf course and should be avoided. Actually, it should be stripped away.

My friend and I went to David's Bridal to get bridesmaid dresses for our best friend's wedding. I liked that David's Bridal was open until 9 PM, giving people who work during the day a chance to find their dress at night. The store itself was HUGE - I didn't expect it to have such a gigantic selection. They have tons of bridal dresses & bridesmaid dresses in every size and color imaginable. The salespeople there were super nice and took care of us quickly, finding the style number our friend had given us and our sizes in a matter of seconds. There are many angled mirrors at David's Bridal so you get a chance to see how your dress looks from each side. The salespeople offered their input of how the dress looked and if a different size was needed - they're experts in this.
The only downfall to the entire trip was the extremely slow and outdated computers ringing up our sales. It probably took 20-25 minutes to check out our purchases, which should've only been 10 minutes total. Otherwise, the service & quality was great!!!

My Dell Inspiron 5150 suddenly had a black screen with a blinking white light in place of the usual Windows XP screen. I called Dell, who told me my warranty had expired five months ago and refused to renew it. They, instead, offered to sell me a new motherboard for $600. Yikes- that's nearly a brand-new computer!
I got in touch with Nelson Computers, who had refurbished parts that were less than half of what Dell wanted to sell me. They said they were in perfect condition and would have no trouble repairing the notebook for me. Low and behold, two days after handing over my computer, it worked perfectly. I was charged for the motherboard, and $45 installation fees - a really good bargain. Four months later, and my laptop works as good as when I first purchased it.

My grandparents have painful backs and legs, and can barely walk around the house, let alone keep a green thumb yard. Sometime while I was in college, they got in touch with Down to Earth Landscaping, who transformed their yard into a prize-winning backyard.
For my grandparents, they fertilized and used pesticides to keep plants healthy, removed debris to keep their yard clean, planted flowers and installed stones for decoration, and kept shrubs trimmed and neat. I couldn't believe how spectacular their yard looked when I got back home from college! It looked green and neat all over, well-trimmed and taken care of, and had an artistic touch. When I have a house of my own, I will definitely hire Down To Earth Landscaping to give my backyard a gorgeous, healthy look.

This store has some solid, fine jewerly pieces that make perfect accessories. I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding in October, so I had to find a necklace that would match my dress. I brought in a photo of my dress, and they found a gorgeous, sparkly necklace that goes perfectly with the dress. They have a wide selection and use quality materials and jewels/gems. They have a beautiful selection, and their willingness to help you find the right jewerly exceeds any other jewerly store I've been to.

This world-renowned museum offers a look at major musicians' costumes, instruments, handwritten lyrics, sheet music, and personal belongings.
Legends such as Elvis Prestley, Madonna, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, and Jim Morrison have been inducted. Alongside their personal items, which reveal insight into their personal & professional lives, are some of the greatest stories and facts about the history of rock-and-roll and music.

This tiny gallery on Professor shouldn't fool you by its size. When you enter, you find an enormous collection of glass vases, wall decorations, and bowls - all brightly-painted, glossed, and crafted to perfection. They have tiny knick-knacks for sitting on shelves, and humongous ceramic pieces to attach to your wall. They're trendy, New York-inspired creations, and will make any home look modern. They are expensive, but have much better quality than West Elm, for example.

Maxim's pizza is a family-owned business and hands down, has the best pizza ever; I even prefer it to Little Italy's. You can walk in and get a couple square pieces of pizza to go, or order a large pizza for multiple people. Their sauce is heavenly, as is their crust, which makes their pizza so delicious and unique. The best part is it's good hot or cold. I *hate* other pizza companies' cold pizza, and think it's only good fresh, but Maxim's is good hot or cold. I loved taking it in my lunches when I was in high school.

This museum was a little boring. You get to see an old mansion with a buttery (to make their own butter) and a cooking fireplace. The French wallpaper from the 1800's was a little neat, but if you've seen an Amish house before, you've seen this. Not too spectacular; don't plan a day around it.
