hi katieparla, our little rental apartment is on the via giulia in rome. we take day trips every year but not overnighters. the high-speed train makes the morning/evening commute concept a reasonable possibility. i haven’t...

Sea Harbour for Chinese – Cantonese seafood (I would also be curious about New Concept given SIV’s recent review, but I’ve not been personally). Carousel in Glendale for Lebanese (although I don’t like the...

joint, and this is a marginally similar concept with nicer seating and more outside space. Two thumbs up for giving DC lunchers the option of actually being healthy (depending on what they order...not sure organic cupcakes can be...

. As mentioned by BBHound, reserve as soon as possible for any of these places as they are all in high demand at graduation time.

I don’t partake in the high-end much anymore, and prefer the ‘indie’ offerings of Fuel and the like. I would say that West and Lumiere are on the top echelon as far as service and food are concerned – but...

I would not consider Joe’s Shanghai, best known for their soup dumplings (aka steamed buns), high class. It’s been ages since we ate at Shun Lee, dating back to a time when a fancy-schmancy Chinese restaurant was a...

Wine culture comes to L.A.—with a vengeance.

a month ago, i had a hotdog from a street vendor after a dinner at JG. is that what you’re referring to by high/low dining?

was off – the solid chunks were all on top and the bottom had separated out and was all liquidy. My portabello sandwich minus the cheese was good, and the beet salad had good presentation but was a little too high-concept...
