One cannot think well, love well, and sleep well if one has not dined well ― Virginia Woolf

Have you ever been so bored that you were looking for a place to hang out but couldn’t think of any cool place?

Perhaps it’s time for a weekend getaway or even a holiday season, but you just have trouble figuring out a cool spot where you can indulge …common?… alright I’m here to help and for the records, I’ve never had that problem – what do you expect from a Sagittarius man, who is by default extroverted, outgoing & a freedom-loving person to the core. They don’t call Sagittarius the “bachelor” sign for nothing! We love to explore and experience different things – places, people, and lifestyles.

Personally, I love to hang out in cool places, either for business or for relaxation and I also love indulging in fine cuisine.

People who like to have fun will agree with me that nothing kills your morale like when you are trying to figure out a nice bar to hang out with friends and all you can think of is that same “spot” where you’ve been to every single weekend in the year. And just because, you are unable to come up with other options, you have to go to the same place again. So Sad!

I’m here to make you one of the classiest men in your neighborhood starting with the kind of place you hang out and where you take your lady, your family, or your buddies to.
