Shaved Ice Treats

Ten frozen concoctions to help you chill out this summer.

chains are out, I think your best bet for finding a Slush Puppie is going to be checking mom-n-pop convenience stores. A close competing product is Dairy Queen’s Arctic Rush (formerly the Misty Slush, formerly the Mr....

A quick report on Parfyum. We dined there on Saturday night after having a somewhat disappointing experience back in July. In the summer the food was good but not great, the service was sloppy and rushed, and the wine list was...

We had the winter RW dinner at Aquavit in the dining room and it was excellent, including a herring sampler, hot smoked arctic char, and their arctic circle (goat cheese parfait, blueberry sorbet, passionfruit curd). A few very...

; the waitress neglected to put any dressing on it and was gone too long for me to attempt to remedy it. No more than 5 minutes later our entrees arrived. I had the grilled arctic char. It was a nice piece of fish with about 10...

wouldn’t be in too much of a rush. I spoke with the proprietors today and they’re still waiting on the liquor license thanks to the city workers' strike. They inform me that they’re hoping to be open by the end...

the night though they did basically rush our entrees out right after they took away our appetizers...slightly off putting. The table had the tempura string beans which were exactly as they sound and not very good. I had the...
