....and you know what...I eat at PF Chang in Westbury and the cook there makes special dishes for me that are great, just because I ask, and they appreciate the change. So, poster dany stein don’t judge what someone is or...

Gotta be, because The HMS Bounty in Koreatown is quite a jog from the ArcLight, and it’s really nothing special. I never understood its appeal. The Brass Monkey or Taylor’s in the neighborhood are both way better.

) was about $130. I just wasn’t willing to take that steep a discount on a special dinner – it would have spoiled my memory of it completely. (The waiter was DEEPLY grateful when I pointed out the error, too.)

got very strung out, and me being the only one with kid, was a bit challenged. The cameras did not inhibit the vendors. They only encouraged them to produce. Nearly everyone chatted away about their products, specialities,...
