  Update - 12/26/2009

I was saddened to learn the news of Queen Of Tarts' closure (http://www.queenoftart...) at the end of 2009. Still one of the city's best lemon tarts, and always a delight to visit when on the lookout for special party treats and baking supplies.

I love going to Pages for my book and magazine fix - they always have great recommendations and their store displays are well thought out, giving you many ideas for your next purchase. They also have a lot of obscure magazines that you can't get…More »

"Who ordered bubble tea?!" Mike S shrieked as our drink order made its way to the table. Um, that would be me, apparently, where bubble tea = yummy white wine sangria stuffed with blueberries and mint. It was overwhelmingly delicious.

I can't comment…More »

Every time I've gone by Pulp Kitchen it's been closed - they have the strangest business hours ever - essentially they're not open for dinner so you can only visit if you're unemployed or work a night shift (alternately, on the weekend).

It makes me so sour that Stem closed, without warning, late last summer. There was never an explanation nor an official closing notice. I remember walking by and seeing a sign that said they were temporarily closed for renovations as of July 1 (or…More »

I tagged along for dinner one night with a group of carnivorous friends thinking to myself "what a joke this is, me being a vegetarian, going to a slowcooker place that specializes in MEAT", but I was pleasantly surprised when the server a) didn't…More »

Wow, I read the terrible news about Picasso shutting down earlier today and this prompted me to write my review.
