Edible Skinny has been traveling across the country (by our count we've been to 8 states so far...) and we've noticed an interesting pattern: converting older bank buildings to coffee shops. From cash to caffeine, seems to be quite the trend! With that in mind we thought we would note a few of these from money to mocha spaces! Here's to life being delicious, all your moments being postcard worthy, and your moments ALWAYS including mountains of cash AND caffeine! ;-) Beale Street Brews in...
There's something about being next to a swimming pool with a cold drink or joint in hand that makes everything feel right in the world. Being Poolside is an artform. The art of being absolute cool, with not a care in the world. From the earliest depiction of pool life (which date back to The Great Bath in modern day Pakistan estimated to have been built in the 3rd Millennium B.C.) to our modern day depictions in movies (Pretty much every Esther Williams movie, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, The...

Today this wine region is home to 530 wineries and almost 20.000 acres of planted vineyards. It's been quite the evolution, leading to Wine Enthusiast naming Oregon's Willamette Valley as its...
A few weeks ago, Edible Skinny was lucky enough to have The Thomas Gals do a "Girls Getaway Weekend" to Portland, Oregon and the Willamette Wine Valley (more on that next week!) The claims of Portlandia are true "The Dream of the 90's is Still Alive in Portland," as this city is full of eccentricity and weirdness (redundant I know, but this city definitely contains both!). Stumptown might be Oregon's largest city, but it has a small-town feel with a rainbow of sparkly beautiful people, places,...
