Retro diner meets hip DJ lounge? Yeah, I can dig it. It's like taking an authentic journey back to the good ole days if those good ole days were far cooler than they actually were. You just kinda want to run up to people's tables and start awkward…More »

Yep. This is my coffee shop.

Update - 12/1/2011

The Carleton and I have had a pretty rough go lately. I love this place in the summer, but I love it even more as a winter hang-out given the warm atmosphere, good drinks, and incredible frites, so I've been popping in almost weekly for the past…More »

Oh Onyx, we've shared so many great memories!

Remember that first time that we met when myself and a whole crew were all slutted up and headed to a trashy bar? I believe I was wearing a t-shirt that said 'More Rock than a Crack House' when I stumbled…More »
