walk the walk: what we talked about doing in 2013 and will do in 2014

we know, we know, it's so easy to talk about all the places you want to go, the restaurants to try the rumor of mysterious parks you've never heard of before and cocktails at places that sound great. It's even easy to talk about some of these places like you've been there, when the reality is you've just talked about going there, like, all the time but never made it off the couch. 

Here's a list of places that we are planning on not just stalking on Facebook or obsessively reading the menus but actually stepping foot in during 2014. Instead of writing about the place, because, as we mentioned, we've never actually been so it would be all speculation and hear-say, we've just linked to their pages:

Vegan Aroma formerly La Vie En Raw - it's actually taken me so long toget around to this place that they've changed the name.
