Waitman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 All right, you lightweights. I'm off to the Tabard and then will mosey Mt. Pleasant-wise or maybe alternative directions based on proximity to rail travel. If there's anyone can handle a little snow, post here or PM. In the mean time, I'll be seeing what Chantal is slinging on a snowy night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirite Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've got three racks of ribs and no guests. If anyone's in the area during Superbowl, come on by. With 32 inches of snow out front, my little red sports car could not move. With another snow storm headed our way Tuesday--Wednesday, you may want to save and reheat your racks. This is unprecedented and starting to be not much fun. But at least the Saints won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyjoan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I realize that I was not actually the draw for this happy hour, and instead people were excited about beer and tasty munchies, but THANK YOU to leleboo for organizing and thank you to everyone for coming!

leleboo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 To get my mind off the phone-snatching, GennaroE has decided I need to go to Spice Xing for "curry-oke."

FunnyJohn Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Screwtop has recently instituted a Happy Hour on Tuesdays (5-7 pm) featuring a red and a white for $4/glass, (the red is an Italian -- forget what species, but potable), $4 cheddar and bacon bruschetta, and beers at a HH price (forget what price since I don't drink beer). Anyway, I plan to be warming a seat at the bar this afternoon as soon as I can leave this den of drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavortown Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Againn is doing some cool stuff for St. Patrick's Day: raw bar is turning into a Guinness station; Guinness, Kilkenny, Irish Coffees, and Irish Old Fashioneds $5 a pop, and a bunch of food specials including Guinness braised lamb shank and corned beef and cabbage. I'm planning to get there early (between 5:00 and 5:30) in the hopes of securing a seat at the bar before the masses show up. Anybody in the mood for celebration (or at least lots of food and drink) is more than welcome. Edit: And feel free to shoot a PM my way if you'd like to join so that I can try to stave off the hordes and reserve a few extra seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastro888 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Gastro888, I have only one thing to say: Welcome back! We've missed you. Four posts in three years - where have you been? Hi Don, thanks for the shout-out. Been around, eating here and there. Nice update to the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Samadi Sweets Cafe in Bailey's Crossroads was good! They had other stuff too, but the desserts were great, at least from what I remember - this was only 7-8 years ago. It's been nearly 20 years since I first visited Samadi Sweets Cafe, and every now and again I still try to pay a visit to Mirage Cafe (5916 Leesburg Pike), which is effectively what Samadi morphed into, following (IIRC) the divorce of the original owners. But tonight, somebody recommended Jerusalem Restaurant (3405 Payne St) for their sweets. I'm not sure how this place had previously stayed below my radar (well actually, their location well off the main road probably did the trick), but now I've got an itch to suffer a honey-and-rosewater-fueled comparo to determine whose baklava reigns supreme. Plus they're maybe a quarter-mile apart. Thinking about checking them out in quick succession around noon this Saturday, starting at Mirage. (eta: might be too soon for that much sugar...I need to rethink this) Edited April 14, 2010 by ol_ironstomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 While out strolling tonight I saw the most unimaginable, improbable, reason-defying and thoroughly wrong, just wrong, sight--La Perla with 30-35, maybe more, diners. If that is not a sign of how much we need Fabio back here, I don't know what is. I think you should make La Perla an offer that they can't refuse, know what I mean? Convert that into Ray's G-town so yuppies in G'town can get something decent to eat without having to schlep across town or across the river.

Ericandblueboy Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 was sansar one of the stores you were looking for? i know it's not where it used to be, around the corner from the ignoble barn of a bookstore. i believe there is an association, interior decor and otherwise, with new heights. or at least there once was. Don't know the name but wasn't there a store that had a lot of throw pillows where Lululemon is now? Also, close to B&N was an eclectic furniture store with lots of unique stuff. We also liked the tableware store that's close to the defunct Levante's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
