Happy birthday to your wife!

For me, it would be the Peninsula without the question.

like

Peninsula. Their High Tea is top notch. I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice.

like

High Tea's are super-spreader events, needed to go first.

The langham has an amazing spa, I’ve always loved it there

like

Can’t go wrong, prob the two nicest hotels in the city. Personally, I prefer the more modern Langham but totally depends on your/your wife’s tastes

like

Toss up, I prefer the area around the langham. Many will like the area around peninsula more. If you want to do high end shopping do P.

Dinner reservations are tight all summer btw, if you want to go somewhere special (Alinea etc…) book early!!

Langham Spa 🙏

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices.

I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
