Nobody Nooks

Hungry? Find a Nobody Nook!

One of my absolute favorite things to do with my boyfriend is to find cheap restaurants that nobody knows much about! They're the best because not only are they cheap dates, but they are fun! Annnnd we get to experience something new each time! 

Obviously I do not know where my readers are from, but, the best restaurants are usually family owned. 

Here is a list of some of my favorite crannys: 

Kens Country Kitchen

Wildflower 

The Country Inn

(insert name here) Coney Island

Don't stop there! This idea works with Coffee shops and small family stores too!

Here is a list of great family owned coffee shops across the US:

Talia Espresso
Waterstreet Coffee joint
Angel's Island Coffee
Andina Cafe

Coffee Cottage Coffee House

^ I think you get the idea!

Starting Point

Starting Point

After going through a series of events in my life, I have learned how to conquer even the darkest of times. In the midst of all the bad, I have been able to find the good in those situations. I wanted to start a blog about being happy, and why life should be appreciated... even when we think it stinks.  I want everyone to know that there is still good in the world, and that life is beautiful. So please, enjoy my daily posts, as I hope I can make your life just a little bit brighter one day at a time.
