All you can eat, except for the lobster. But then, I've been here twice and from what I've seen you're welcome to my portion. Somewhere on my table the forlorn lobster ticket rests, allowing the lucky bearer to claim half of a small spiny crustacean…More »

There. I did it. Happy now?

The Shirt Before The Shirt (12)

Clothing stores, since what you see is what you get...and what you don't is better yet.

Shave and a Haircut... (3)

Places I've gone to get my hair cut. If I get a bad haircut, you will know about it.

Delis, delicious and otherwise (3)

Just in case your arteries are too wide. Here are some places that'll tighten up the ol' plumbing.

Dry Cleaners (2)

Who reviews dry cleaners? Apparently I do.

If I Can't Have My Coffee Break, Something Within Me Dies (6)

I'm mildly addicted to caffeine. Don't tell the Intervention people. John Van Vonderen scares me.

Jonathan's Straight-Edge Guide to Various Bars (4)

I'm not a big drinker. Here are some places to go watch people drink. Bonus points for good coffee and an excellent selection of diet sodas.

Love me!!!! (13)

Reviews that I feel have been unjustly neglected. Shower me with praise, people!!!
