CinéArts is part of the Century Theaters chain, but is kind of a new type of theater, in that they only play independent, documentary, art, foreign, or indies films.
The stadium seating is very very nice. The chairs are huge, they lean back, the armrests go up, all that jazz. And unlike regular theaters, it's not at all dirty and smelly. Can't complain about the digital sounds and the awesome visual quality either.
And in addition to the good ol' popcorn and soda, Patrons can order gourmet coffees and teas, European chocolates, and French pastries.
How high-class. Ha.

First of all I would like to start with the fact that I've never actually been to many spas so, yeah.
Burke Williams is a full service day spa and salon. It's a shame that I didn't get the full service. When I first went with my mother I wasn't old enough to get a massage and actually go in most parts of the spa so it was quite a disappointment.
I did get a facial though. It was great. The lady did some head/shoulder massage thing. It sort of hurt but I guess that's because I told her to use "normal" pressure and that I've never had a massage before.
And then she made me samples of a lot of products she used on me in little jars to take home for free.
I asked my mother how was the treatment she got, which was something with salt exfoliating ($70/30 min) And she said "Just tell them to go to the spa. That's all I gotta say."
Hmm...

First of all I don't even know why I was in this place. It's dark, smells like boys, and all I can hear is deafening CS (counter-strike gunfire).
Clans of teenage boys battle it out on the rows and rows of PCs.
I guess this place is great if you just want to sink into your Mike Teevea mode and play video games all day with a bunch of other nerds like you.
At least their fridge is fully stocked with caffinated drinks like Bawls and Red Bull, which I'm all for. Woo! Caffine!

The Burrito Factory is hidden in some obscure place in Loehman's Plaza next to a ginormous Long's Drugs and across from the ultimate lazy man's Mexican joint (Taco Bell), yet it still gets a ridiculous amount of business. Must be because the food is good, duh.
Prices are of course, not as cheap as Taco Bell, but fair. Although the food quality is 10X better.
The regular sized burritos are huge. I have to share it with my best friend and we still can't finish it sometimes.
The menu is pretty big, lots of things to choose from, enchiladas, burritos, soft tacos, etc. All orders come with green and red hot sauce. I personally prefer the red although I have no idea what's the difference really.

California Pizza Kitchen has huge servings, much like the Cheesecake Factory. They offer a huge menu of handmade thin crust pizzas. A lot of my friends' favorite is the Thai Chicken Pizza. I myself have found it to be a little too salty for me, but good nevertheless.
Besides pizza, they also offer salads, pasta, soups and sandwiches, etc.
Prices are good, cheap for moderate. I don't find the pastas/soups and such to be too impressive. After all, California Pizza Kitchen is known for their pizza.

My boyfriend and I are seriously addicted to Pasta Pomodoro we need a five step program.
They have a big menu selection of pasta, also soups, appitizers, and some desserts.
The service is usually great even at their busiest, the price is great, and they sub whole-wheat pasta free of charge if you want to eat healthy or are on a low-carb diet (which, by the way, I don't approve, not that you care). They also have glutton-free pasta sub for an extra $1.50.
My favorite pasta, ever (and many of my friends' also) is the Rigatoni with Smoked and Grilled Chicken, Sundried Tomatoes, Cream, and Mushrooms. Only for $8.50 too. They definately don't skimp you out on the ingredients or serving sizes. They're not GINORMOUS, they're a teeny big too much for me, but the perfect size for my boyfriend.

So it's probably the cheapest buffet around town. There's a wide array of foods: sushi, stuffed mushrooms, fried stuff, veggies, standard buffet desserts (jello, pudding, giant pans of... stuff)
Althought there's a lot to choose from, there's really not much you'd actually want to eat. You can tell that the food are cheaply made and over processed. I basically only filled up on the sushi rice.
The seafood didn't look too fresh. Stuffed mushrooms. fried rice, and all that other stuff were extremely greasy. The desserts weren't very chilled, and some desserts that were supposed to be hot (apple pie... giant pan of) were cold.
Sure $15 per person all you can eat is dirt cheap, but so are the food.

Once a Week on Sundays, June 12, 2005 to December 18, 2005, 10:00 AM - 03:00 PM, the Santana Row community holds a farmer's market with fresh fruits, greens, nuts, and vegetables, noth organic and conventionally grown goods. Farmer's market takes place rain or shine.
I've only been at one, it's actually not so much crowded since I believe everyone's at church morning service. The booths and vendors are so cute. With their apples and oranges piled neatly displayed in natural baskets.
The organics, of course, are a little bit more expensive than the none. But it's your diet is all organic, this is a good place to shop for your fresh fruits and veggies every week.

Tea Room and Gift Parlour featuring an authentic Victorian Tea Room serving traditional afternoon tea. Old World elegance fills the atmosphere of this beautifully furnished shop. The tables are set with a full array of traditional tea china.
The dining areas holds the elegance of European buildings. High ceilings, decorative molding, sumptuous drapes, and velvet and tapestry chairs provide atmosphere.
The real kick are the servers in full 19th century Victorian costume. I feel like a little girl playing Tea Time with all my stuffed animals. While the novelty of it wore off after like, the second visit, the tea is still great and so are the biscuits and pastries and the cute little jars of condiments.
