Posted by rsb831 on 4/24/24 at 10:25 am
Somehow I got lucky. I was signed into TicketWeb and clicked refresh right at 10 and got two. There was a presale yesterday and someone on Reddit said half the inventory was sold then.

Sunday will be limited. But the Mexican places and Johnny’s will be open. Beau Vines does a nice brunch. Trio’s can be good, but hit or miss.
On Friday, if the weather is nice, Heard Freighthouse has several food trucks. Bad Wolf BBQ is great as is Staple Sandwich. Grown & Grazed was the original...

Went a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed it. Menu changes every Friday, so no recommendations. A quail dish was memorable. Prepared two ways, roasted breast, fried leg quarters, beautiful presentation. None of the courses disappointed. Service was top notch.
Reminded me of Saint Germain at a lo...

Re: Insurance - Just read a customer advocate column about an issue with Turo. Customer had bought the lower coverage with a 3K deductible. Car owner turned in a claim for questionable interior damage. Turo billed customer for 3K with no repair invoices. When advocate inquired, Turo agreed that dama...

Main room was one big room with large L shaped sectional, desk and a king bed. Really nice quality. Didn...

I would guess not since it is currently not allowed. I did see that if you have over 75K annual spend on the personal or business Platinum Amex, Skyclub access remains unchanged.
That's the same amount Amex put on Centurion Club gues...
