Yay, you're back with another fantastic review!!! Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for all the posts and funny words. We are returning to Riviera in Feb. and I'm hoping the crowds will die down/return to pre-pandemic normalness. 2022 was just INSANE and not in a good way. I also hope that they keep those cookies for when we're there.
I agree with you on Gideon. I've tried it 2x now. Don't really get the cookies (Levain Bakery in NYC is my fave!) and the cake slices are eh - too much frosting as you mentioned. I have some new restaurants to add to my list. Thanks for the suggestions - will have to check out the JW. Have you been to Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria? Highly recommend if you haven't.
I might do just a 1 or 2 day park pass (I know - blasphemy), which means I'll spend more time walking around RR. Thanks for convincing me to ride over to Pop and also check out CBR. The food from their food courts look amazing! And Sebastian's - I gotta get there.
