After doing the North Market, East Market (the speakeasy below there), Columbus Brewing, Antique on High Brewing, Zaftig brewing, Pretentious Brewing, Wolfs ridge brewing, a cute coffee shop, two fantastic restaurants in Plas & El Lugar, one mediocre Irish pub to celebrate the Six Nations, and a very meh old world fine dining restaurant in Lindeys... I would 100% come back to Columbus. Super impressed by the food, beer, atmosphere, friendly people, etc not so much the scenic views but whatever.

Ugh - one hour traffic ride in Uber from airport to hotel.  Driver lost 10 mins and there is zero traffic.  Cars honking at him for going too slow. He is anticipating yellow lights and stopping before they turn yellow.

Any restaurant suggestions in Paris? I’m there now and keep returning to my old haunts, but would like to explore something new.

Where are you staying?

Unfortunately my favorite European restaurant, Balagan in Hotel Vendome, has recently closed.  But their sister restaurant Shabour in the 2nd Arr is excellent, if you could can get in.

If you are in the 17th arrondissement, Jacques Faussat is a must go.

Two recommendations.
Frenchie’s To Go. A take away with a few tables from a Michelin star chef. Great lunch. http://www.frenchie-ftg.com/
Paname brewery on Canal St Martin. Locals place with a great view and good beer. The stroll down the canal is cool. https://www.panamebrewingcompany.com/
And Amorino Valmy for ice cream in the area. https://www.amorino.com/en-us

One more off the wall suggestion in the Canal St Martin area. Right near the brewery.
Le Pavillon des Canaux. A funky house on the canal with some unusual seating.

If you guys are looking at going to SLC do it soon.  With the quickly drying Great Salt Lake the city is going to be ruined.
So the lake level has risen two feet of late. Hopefully the extensive snow this year helps too. But yeah we visited and it was sad how much is ruined.

Record high snowfall in the mountains this year.  Alta with over 800 inches and the area in total at 195% of average for the season.

I'm optimistic.   :)
Have some patience, FFS.

Yeah Brighton hit their record while we were there. Thankfully we opted not to go the next day, as it took 5 hours to get out of Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Kudos to whomever recommended the Smithsonian Air and Space museum out by Dulles.    A very enjoyable day.

Have been in Alaska for the last few days. Very beautiful place and surprisingly a lot of great restaurants.

That was me.

Standing so close to a space shuttle is an experience that I will never forget. Also, walking underneath the Concorde. Wow! And seeing the stealthy Blackbird-holy crap! The entire museum was absolutely great- just pointing out a few highlights.

For me, the rules seem to be all over the place and change depending on who is working.  I had to trash an almost new tube of toothpaste because it was 3.4oz or something ridiculous.  Before they threw it out they asked if I wanted to go run it out to my car.  I guess they weren't worried about it that much since at that point if it were an explosive, it would have been a car bomb in their lot.  ::)

Sometimes remove shoes, sometimes remove electronics, sometimes remove liquids.  Great federal agency we have here, huh?

This may be the most small baller complaint of all time

Sweating me now?  Five months later?

God, you're a strange one.  Used to be kind of normal, but maybe it's time to get back on the meds, homie.

LaGuardia is probably me new favorite airport. Beautiful airport, super easy to navigate.
