This mainly organic health food shop is great if you live in the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen and you don't want to deal with the crowds at Whole Foods or the tiny aisles at the Westerly just to pick up some pasta or get a shot of wheatgrass. This place doesn't have everything you need grocery wise, but it does have some old organic reliables like tofu, beans, flours, grains, cleaning supplies, herbs and teas. The bulk items are not necessarly as fresh as you would find in the bigger more popular stores, but I have never had a problem with anything else.

Ishrat Ansari is one of the sweetest cafe owners you will ever meet. He has run Vivaldi's for over 20 years and being an avid lover of the arts, he does all he can to support it. A Pakistani native, he often organizes concerts with some of the best Sufi musicians in the world. He also provides great local music 7 nights a week, which you can enjoy just for the cost of adding to the tip jar. What to get when you go there; the Vivaldi Martini; creamy and sweet and packing a punch!

Not no frills but not snobby

This place is great for a last minute cut. Walk ins are welcome though you might have to wait a little while. This salon is not super fancy, and has a local flavor to it, but it isn't a barber shop either! The prices are very reasonable and they often have specials for first time customers. I have had great cuts here, as has my husband. If you don't want to pay through the nose for a decent cut, this is a good choice.

Wax and a cut

These were the services I got at this spa. You walk in and it has a nice feel to it, and you have beverages offered to you. My first service was a brazilian wax which I had never had before. She didn't get all the hair, and 2 days later on my way to the Caribbean I broke out in hundreds of pimples!! Ack! Well, my haircut was equally dreadful, I think the stylist was more interested in gabbing than in styling and I practically ran out of there. I would say stay away!!

I first went to Janis after searching for a holistic Ob/Gyn. She came up because she has done some underwater births. I am young and relatively healthy, and not pregnant or a mother, so my first visit was quick and business like. The next one I came in for something bothering me and she was rather curt and not very interested. To make this short, she prescribed me a pill which didn't work. Next visit, she did the same thing and kind of shrugged me off. I finally gave up and went to someone else who gave me a lot more care and attention and eventually solved my problem. Janis has no bedside manner, at least not for a woman without a baby or a lot of medical bills in her future!

Well worth the time, and money

From the moment you walk in you begin to feel fabulous. Up the little stairs to be greeted by some attractive person behind the desk. (either a man or a woman). All the stations are busy and every stylist appears to be at the top of their game. Each has their own style, from flamboyant to punk, and you know just being there you'll get a good cut. My shampoo was administered by a very very strong german woman in her 60s who not only massaged my head but then proceeded to perform some heavy swedish massage on my neck and shoulders. When I finally stood a little light headed she gave me that "german woman who just owned your neck" look. I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by the handsome and debonair owner. With very little direction he took my vague ramblings of what I wanted and turned it into an amazing cut that grew from wonderful to to fabulous over the next 8 weeks.

This website has been around for many years, and each year the community that visits it gets larger and larger! This is basically a "news" site, with a free side and a subscription side ($5 per month). The gist is this; people from all over the world submit articles, websites, products and anything else they find interesting with an amusing or catchy title. Once posted (free site or pay), there is a forum linked to it, which is where the community bonds.
There are several other creative sides to this site, like photoshop and original photo contests, audio edit contests as well as discussions of all sorts. The pay site allows the user to view all submissions, whereas the free site only has 20 odd submissions per day.

This is a great book for that fact freak in your family, and especially those you wish to taunt, or hope to change- that is to a liberal mindset! Crazy comparisons (teachers and sumo wrestlers, the effect of abortion on crime and why drug dealers live with their mothers) with the intelligence credits to back them, this book promises an interesting read.

This is where I met my husband/soul mate/partner in crime. I am not sure if they have kept up with the competition, but 5 years ago, this was the leading dating site, and it was so creative. It was intensive and time consuming to input all the information to build your personals page, but most people do, and that means in my mind that they were as serious as I was. Personality matching questionaires, essays and many different ways to personalize your page still makes this a great way to find out a lot more about the potential love, if you are serious about finding your soulmate!
