StubHub.com, a website that allows people to buy and sell tickets for a number of sporting and music events, recently released a list of what it calls the “most rockin’” cities in the United States.
So what qualifies a city as “rockin’” exactly? The site looked at 2011 ticket sales from concerts and festivals across the United States to come up with a list of the most music-hungry metropolises.
Surprisingly, Hartford, Connecticut took the top honor in 2011 followed closely by more predictable contenders like Boston, Miami, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.
While Hartford might not strike you as a haven for rock and roll, there could be a simple explanation. According to a report from the Las Vegas Sun, Hartford is home to StubHub’s main offices which could have skewed the numbers.

Hotel Havoc! Annoying Characters You Meet At HotelsComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
I wake to banging doors and loud conversation. I step out into the hallway and it appears Hansel and Gretel were here as a path of Cheerios leads to the loud room in question. I walk into the elevator and what do we have here? Sopping wet teens in their swim trucks and no shoes create a slippery mess for the next elevator occupant. I wander down to the hotel lobby and it appears a group has decided to take over the space for an in-hotel party. I squeeze past one of the partygoers to grab a cup of coffee included in my room rate and receive several glances like I just crashed the party uninvited. I’m dealing with all of those annoying people you meet in a hotel....read more

Taste Testing Portugal’s Classic Eats and DrinksComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
After spending several months in Italy, I was skeptical Portugal would amaze me at the dinner table. To make matters worse for the country, I had just come back from Spain, no slouch in the food department either. Amidst Italy, Spain and France, Portugal’s drinks and dishes don’t always make it on to the foodie’s radar. And after a few bites and drinks at an old tavern in Viseu, I was hooked. I was missing Portugal as a food and drink destination. If you are headed to Portugal or need a push to consider going, a few meals and glasses of wine prove an empire of discovery and exploration did this country’s palette right....read more
