Back in my college days I used to work for Bakers Crust. They do have very good brunch options. I remember working a weekend morning shift. We had closed the whole restaurant down (on Cary) to accommodate a bridal party.

Look at their menu, and if you are interested, I would give them a call. I’m specifically talking about Cary st location, not short pump one. As Cary st one is smaller and don’t get as much business as the other location.

Congrats on getting married!

Edit: they do serve pitchers of Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s for brunch. Personal recommendations: chicken and waffles and Swanky eggs Benedict. For some reason, Cary st location has a tastier breakfast/ brunch than the other location.

As a young gay growing up in south Florida, I always found it interesting that poppers were reliably hidden at gay adult stores and you had to use codewords to get them, but they were always out in plain sight at any straight adult store I visited.

I'd put Taboo solidly in "everybody adult store" category but appreciated that they had them on display or at least a sign at the register. Makes me happy that the police don't harass them for that.

if it's mid century modern there's a good market for it. If it isn't, there isn't.

Which is great for someone like me that actually likes mahogany furniture and appreciates good craftsmanship. I'll take a piece of furniture that has lasted 100 years and will go another 100 without thinking over disposable Ikea crap any day

I would hesitate to visit a country that my home country has no diplomatic ties to. If you were to end up in legal trouble for any reason you will not be able to rely on your embassy to negotiate on your behalf or offer any kind of advise or assistance. I would love to visit Cuba and I think it is dumb that we still have such a frigid relationship with our close neighbor, but I'm not gonna put my ass on the line to go on a vacation.
