Patti's top 2 tips

  • Merced
    Merced, CA: God save you, your in Merced

    *Internet*
    t-mobile wireless is your best bet for trusty access at any of the Starbucks locations in town.

    *Breakfast*
    Cinema Cafe on Main St. makes a great standard scrambled eggs w/diced ham. Friendly folks and counter seating.

    *Dinner*
    Thai Star is my favorite casual place.
    (209) 725-1958
    57 W Alexander Ave, Merced, CA

    The Branding Iron is valley-fancy and has a collection of the area's branding irons on display. Seedy side bar is fun too.

    *Lodging*
    Hooper House (http://www.hooperhouse.com/) is one of the only options to the national chains.

  • Minneapolis
    Minneapolis, MN: Chambers Hotel

    This place is an urban oasis with disturbing artwork and a great outdoor patio bar. They sometimes have popsicles on the bar menu.
    Rooms are small-ish but efficient and comfy beds.
    check out the gift shop before you leave.
