Wine bars are often thought to be pretentious, stuffy, and expensive. They’re often cold and employ a staff that thinks they are superior to you because they know about wine, and you’re ordering pinot noir (because you’re a big fan of Paul Giamatti), and you can’t properly pronounce [...]

I wanted to like my neighborhood’s newest addition: M Noodle Shop. I really, really did. It’s minutes away from my apartment (on the walk home from the train no less), their Pan Asian menu items looked amazing, and they are open until 6 am. Can you say dream come true?

I worked as a bartender and a waitress for some time when I graduated from college many moons ago. I worked in restaurants, clubs, bars, lounges, you name it. I was a pretty good server if I do say so myself, but my tolerance for people took a downward [...]

On a recent, rather balmy Thursday night, things were looking a little bit different on Graham Avenue. Used to walking by the all but always empty, (and now defunct) Pampa Grill and the nearly perpetually shuttered Odara, imagine my surprise to see the former Odara (now Sel De [...]
