This TJ Maxx is all about the Runway section...as am I. There is usually a great selection of Theory pieces (perfect for work)  at half-off and always a rack full of designer jeans (Joe's, Seven, etc). Come frequently to find the architectural Escada…More »

Is it weird to review a gas station? Not when it's a palatial expanse that happens to serve hydrocarbons!

Once upon a time, I ill-advisedly drove to NYC from Boston instead of taking my trusty steed, the Bolt Bus. My gas was running low as I left…More »

Theory makes the best suits for the young, sleek, hip-pish professional lady working in a business formal environment. The cut of their pants manages to flatter everyone's behind and make you look a million feet tall. Normally, Theory charges about…More »

Category: Lounges

Neighbourhood: Financial District

2.0 star rating
  Update - 4/21/2011

Downgraded after a few more visits. All the food I've had here has been mediocre and expensive. It's just adding insult to injury when there are so few veggie options to begin with!

Service at my last visit was atrocious. Four of us went for lunch,…More »

    What do I know about Bond: the nightclub/lounge? Nothing, because I'm not that cool.

I went to Grill 23 for a business dinner in the private wine room. Before the dinner, our group had a comfortable spot by the bar where everyone could mingle but we were crowded enough that no one could be left out. The private room was the perfect…More »

4.0 star rating

If you needed to know the Banker Bar of Toronto, look no further. Canoe has a captive audience in the TD Towers and the crowd is definitely the suited and booted finance set.

Their specialty cocktail list is a little short and a little too…More »

Simply the finest private club in Houston. Don't even bother asking about becoming a member; you either are or you aren't.

  1/29/2011

I grew up going to this club to swim, eat brunch, order shirley temples, and pretend to play tennis. It's not quite a country club because there's no golf course, and the expansive outdoor space keeps it from being a city club. Membership is mostly…More »

Listen up, kiddos: I'm about to spill the secret about the best lunch in Kendall Square.

Microsoft has a gorgeous new building on the river with a ground-floor cafe overlooking Mem Drive. There's expansive outdoor seating that feels 'cafe on a Greek…More »

I finally experienced their homemade ginger beer and am hooked. If only they sold it by the growler!

Came here for a weekday business lunch with Condoleeza Rice. By "with", I mean "in the same room as". It's a power lunch spot no matter who you're with.

I ordered the middle eastern salad because, "oooh, falafel!". It was disappointing to see the…More »

About half my wardrobe is Brooks Brothers, so the one star has nothing to do with the quality of their clothes. It's all about the disastrous customer service -- the reason I do all my BB binges online now.

I came in to this store because I had lost…More »

If PRC is the harbinger of things to come with the development of DTX, then I'm all for it. It's exactly the kind of restaurant the area needs -- upscale enough for a business meal, but not at all stuffy.

And when I say business meal, I mean that 90%+…More »
