As I posted earlier this month I was going to be doing some traveling … I am down in PA visiting family and maybe getting a ski day in.  I returned for a second time to The Headkeeper Tapas Bar with my cousin Jamie and her boyfriend. Not only is the food amazing and the patio likely the best in Greensburg but the BEER selection is obscene (in a good way).

There are over 600 beers in the fridge and dozens on tap. How it works is that you go over the the fridge, select your beer, take it to your table or the bar and the server opens it up for you. You can also buy beer to take home! On this trip I selected a Cherry beer (I must confess the bottle and the label are big influencers for me!)

Organic Cherry beer and the Duval

and my boyfriend a Duval. And I have to add that if you are used to Toronto prices The Headkeeper is a pleasant surprise – 3 bottles of beer, one draft, and 2 mixed drinks came to …. $27! So if you ever find yourself in Greensburg PA you must head over to The Headkeeper!

A busy upcoming 6 weeks… (busy in a good way!)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I did. I spent the weekend in Ellicottville with friends. While the conditions at Holiday Valley were cruddy the weekend was filled with good friends, food, wine and fun. Lola & Otis even made it down on their first

The wonderful village of Ellicottville

international adventure! In the next 6 weeks I have a lot of travel and am open to suggestions for places to eat, things to do and even in some cases where to stay.

This is what the next six weeks look like:

  • Greensburg to visit family then to Seven Springs to ski (anyone ever been there?)
  • Horseshoe for a night to ski (bought that one on Groupon)
  • Blue Mountain for two nights (bought that one on Fabfind)
  • Mont Tremblant for a long weekend (bought that one on Teambuy)

And, I almost forgot I am in Stamford for business and Ottawa for business and pleasure (visiting with a girlfriend and her baby boy who I haven’t met yet).

I need suggestions on where to stay for one night in Tremblant, a place to eat in Stamford (although I have yet to have a bad meal there) and any other suggestions you may have!

Here is hoping to some good skiing.

Apres Ski!

Have a good week everyone!
