What is the best thing to do in Baltimore while getting drunk?|181317

I will be there the end of this month for 3 nites and I need some suggestions.

Bar-hop the Inner Harbor...

I will not answer questions from this screen name or avatar.

The best thing to do if you are getting drunk, regardless of where you are, is not to drive and kill someone or yourself.

Hit on the bachelorette party girls in Canton, Fells Point or even Power Plant Live who are just as drunk as you are. Stay away from the sober ones until they become just as drunk as their other friends. Be careful you don_t wind up in Baltimore_s Central Booking - that would be the worst thing to do in Baltimore while getting drunk.

There_s a place I know of that a lot of people I know have went to while there --- It_s Looneys at 2900 O_Donnell St.

I think it has a restaurant/bar at the bottom and pool tables and stuff upstairs. I understand it_s a sports bar.

You are PLANNING on getting sick? Then my dad use to swear on Coke and Vodka.. the only thing that didn_t give him a hang over. Otherwise, just eat plenty and drink water for as much alc. that you have drunk and be safe and DON_T drive. I_d hate for my husband to splat you on his way home from work. No one needs to know that you are being responsible when you drink. Recommend going to the Rusty Scupper restaurant by the inner harbor. It was tasty.

Don_t drive!!!!!

Stay in your hotel room.

Jump into the harbor and swim over to Fort McHenry to look at the flag.

the best thing is to either get you someone to drive you around while you party or call a cab

How many miles (each way) do you drive for work each day?|171579

I just moved to Dallas, and it looks like I will be driving 22 miles one way to work from where I live. I_ve mentioned this to people and they don_t seem to blink about it here. I moved from another big city but never drove this much one way. Just got me wondering about other peoples daily drives. Please state how many miles you drive each way and if possible the city (or nearest big city) you live. Thanks!

15 miles, but I am in the Phoenix area. Grew up in Frisco,Tx.

I drive 55 miles each way, but it_s almost all on rural expressways, so I can go 70-80mph for most of the drive. I have to go slower on the streets between my house and the expressway, and on the streets between the expressway and my job. All in all, it takes me about 55 minutes.

Up until a few months ago, it was 75 miles each way, but I changed jobs to (among other reasons) reduce my commute. The town I live in has no good-paying jobs in my industry, unfortunately. But it has the only university in the state offering the program that my wife is getting her Ph.D. in.

I live in Long Beach, CA and drive 7 miles to my job in Huntington Beach, CA. 2 miles of that I get to see the ocean and marinas. It_s a 15-20 minute drive.
When I lived in Dallas I usually drove 20+ miles to get to work and I didn_t get to see the ocean, just lots of LBJ....Lakewood to Far North Dallas.

I drive 30 miles each way. Luckily, most of it is on 380 (I work in McKinney and live almost on the edge of Lake Lewisville). I have worked further than that though (back when gas was much cheaper).

I_m thankful that my commute isn_t longer than it is. My brother in law commutes from Bolivar Pennisula to Kemah (about 50 miles, plus a 30 minute ferry ride).

I do know it is 40 miles to downtown Dallas from McKinney, TX and it_s in the metro area! Sometimes it takes up to two hours to get there. But any other times besides rush hour Dallas isn_t totally inaccessible. Just take 75 or run to Frisco on 121 and take the North Dallas Tollway.

Sad to say, I drive 51 miles each way, all within LA, CA. I live in Pasadena, CA and I work in Long Beach, CA, and my passenger, for whom I detour, lives in Arcadia, CA. Yuck to so much driving, but drive we must!

My husband drives about 25 miles to work each day (to Plano - we live north of Dallas), and it takes him about 30-40 min. No big deal:) We moved from Southern California last year, and that distance could take up to 2 HOURS during rush hour!

I drive 0 miles to work. I_m a stay at home mom. When I did drive I drove about 19 miles to work it took me about 30 minutes. I live in Memphis, TN

i drive 50 miles each way, its all interstate so it really only takes about 45 minutes.

I live in the NYC/NJ metro area. I drive about 16 miles each way.

Whats the cheapest way to go to Ethel M Chocolate Factory from Strip?|135085

We are a group of 4 - all in ages 25-30. Going Las Vegas for 3 days.
We were thinking to go to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens.
Do you think it worth going there. and what will be the cheapest way to go. If it helps we do have monorail pass for one day and were planning to buy a $5 bus pass for at least one day.

The Monorail does NOT go anywhere but back and forth on the east side of The Strip between MGM Grand and Sahara.

A bus ride would be at least two hours each way, having to go Downtown, transfering at least twice or more, if a bus goes there.

Ask the bellman or concierge for a tourist bus that goes there. Ethel M is in Henderson, which is 25 miles away. You will see the factory but they make the candy at night but you could see them packaging it. You will get one piece of free candy in the gift store. BTW Ethel M sells candy with real liquors in it like brandy with cherries. The Botanical Garden is nice but will be very hot if you are there in the summer.

Your other choice is to rent a car for the day and drive, not a bad drive, too.

Honestly, I wouldn_t waste your time. I took my family there when they visited. It took all of 10 minutes to walk through the _factory_ (one hallway) and 15 minutes in the gift shop. The gardens are ok but nothing spectacular. It_s not worth the trip. There is an Ethel M candy store in the M_M_s shop on the Strip and there are others in various casinos. If you want to try the chocolate, stop at one of those and save the cab fare.

Addition: You CANNOT walk there from the Strip. The actual factory is in Henderson, not walking distance.

It is definitely worth the visit. You will love it. Getting there is easy. You can either take the bus heading south on Sunset or if the weather is cool enough, you can actually walk there from the strip. Here is a map to Ethel from the strip.
