October 23rd, 2009

OCTOBER 21ST, 2009 Market-ing Plan Now that breakfast meetings are the new lunch meetings, you'll be glad to hear Market by Jean-Georges now opens at 7 a.m. so you can get that deal done over Alsatian sausages, dim sum, or French toast with roasted apples. But if the deal requires more time (and perhaps a glass of wine) consider the new Taste of Autumn menus. We loved the Savory Isla ...

Cloak and Swagger

October 20th, 2009
OCTOBER 20TH, 2009 Cloak and Swagger In Les Miserables, the character Laigle considers an old coat the same as an old friend. If that's true, in Bridget Bergman's collection we've found a new bestie.

Sunday Service

October 16th, 2009
OCTOBER 16TH, 2009 Sunday Service We've never claimed to be angels (sorry mom), but nothing brings out our irreverent side quite like a day on Commercial Drive. With that in mind we headed to St. Augustine's, a revamped pub-style resto named for, wink wink, the patron saint of beer. Choosing from 20 microbrews on tap (many from the Pacific Northwest), we listened to the devil on our ...
