it lives in another 20-person communal house or free squat and works for min wage (this is min wage in the 60s). as wonderful as i’m sure it all was, many of these systems ultimately failed because they couldn’t...

(and neighboring towns: Amatitan etc) searching for artisanal tequila. Found some amazing tequilas made the traditional way: fermented the natural way (i.e. without dry yeast), NOT finished with “extracto de roble”...

raised $100 for Chowhound. We were seated on the main floor, tucked in by the window so we were a little more isolated from the chaos that is Hong Kong Flower Lounge. The service was quite good considering that we were such a...

Lindy’s (aka Bon Apetit)is not carry out only. You can eat in at the bar/restaurant upstairs, plus there is a garden in the back, accessible from the upstairs. Just across 21st St, in the Marvin Center (800 21st St) on the...

- and in both directions-but I wouldn’t force myself to eat something that makes me gag (some of those Asian dried fish products come to mind).

busy to notice where you’re putting the groceries (and at my local supermarket in London, they don’t bag for you anyway). On a similar note – I’ve had less success with recycling those horrible wire...

with spicey capsicum. The dish had heat but no real flavour and the chicken was dried out.

for dessert! I managed to cajole him into sharing a cheese plate with me (“to finish off the rest of our wines”) and chose Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk, Nancy’s Hudson Valley Camembert, and an aged Spanish goat...

They’ve bought up space on either side of the restaurant. Expanding to three levels, the ground floor being largely converted to private rooms, or something like that. New acoustic panelling is being looked at, and will...

Is rworange the new Krys who went so suddenly absent from this board? These posts have a very familar tone. If so what happened to the tasting menu crawl? I’m still hoping to hear about Fifth Floor.
