because I spend a LOT of money here. I've only had one bad experience, because the salesgirl didn't know the difference between Burberry and Bulgari. I would have bought the Bulgari ones (they were SPECTACULAR), but you can see why I didn't. They are quick to help and the gentleman I usually deal with can practically read my mind...

Ok, when I first moved here 5 years ago, I saw the long longs for the hot dogs here. And then I read the "Best Of" every year and there s Pink's. Ok, so I stood in the long *ssed line and finally got my hands on 2 (just in case it was that good-I wasn't about to stand in line again). I got plain ones, I wanted to taste the dog itself, nto the chili, sauerkraut or anything else.
It was a freakin' HOT DOG. I've stood in line in NYC gladly for Gray's Papaya. In that "Fools Rush In" movie with Selma Hayek, you can see why she flew it in for that Friends dude. Not these. I dont' get it. And you can even end up having your car towed to get one, the parking here STINKS!!! It's so bad that they had to out up signs to tell you not to park your car right in front where it would make sense to because there is no parking there most of the time. Then their shoebox of a parking lot stinks and you can't park by the flower shop next to it, either.
Go to Weinerschneitzel, it's the same thing and you can stay in your car.

I like candy. Popcorn. Licorice. Chocolate. So when I saw this place tonight, I went nuts. Literally. They have so many kinds of just POPCORN (hence the name) I tend to do crazy things with my popcorn (ever had it with brown sugar? Mmmm-they make something kinda like it here-churro corn) They make stuff constantly, so it's fresh. And OMG, Cracker Jack and fiddle faddle have nothign on this place. I'll pay the darn $8 parking just for some fresh caramel corn.

I have been going here for 5 years. I always get compliments on my brows. The older lady does them perfectly. I always wait for her. The one time I didn't , a new younger lady did my eyebrows and she burnt me. But they made it right when I went back and informed them of what had happened, giving me a free wax next time and putting some salve on it that made it better in a day. I've had my nails done there, but I didn't really care for the way they looked.

Every time I am in the Northridge mall, I go by here. For some reason, when i look at the jewelry, it makes me smile. I have been to Hawaii and this store truly captures the essence of the islands.
They have the cutest little things, like a gold and diamond encrusted flip flop that hangs on a gold chain. Or the most beautiful things, like a lei-like gold necklace of flowers. I'm not one for pearls, but they have a way of setting them and not using the normal pearls, but tahitian ones that are just breathtaking.
The customer service also seems to carry over from the islands, as they are all very sweet and helpful.

I have been involved with fencing since I was 14 (women's epee). I love this sport and when I found out about this place, I immediately wanted to get my child involved. I went in to see how much the owner knew about it, and I was very impressed. My son has been talkign about his birthday coming up in four months and we will be having it here. He will be able to pick from being Darth Vader or a pirate or a knight.
Fencing is physical chess and is not an easy sport to master. I am more than excited to show my child this world, especially with someone so well known in the USFA.

He is a large child himself, so he used to come here and buy things for my son and pretend he wasn't buying them for himself. For every building set he bought my son, he bought himself a remote controlled car. I was happy to find this place here, since I was used to places like FAO Schwartz back home. He tried to get my son a life sized (kiddie) sports car for Xmas, but I made him change his mind.
But dont' get things wrong, this is a place that anyone can find something to give a child (or themselves).They even gift wrap for free.

If I could go to this place and just get some dang coffee and a snack, life would be great. But that's not going to happen because not only is this a place where "young Hollywood" likes to be seen, but the food and coffee is actually good-no, great. I have tried to go at different times (to coordinate with my Beverly Center or Melrose Ave. trips), but it's always freakin' busy. I would eat there more if my mocha wasn't cold by the time I got back to my car.

Italian anything is my downfall and when it comes to the food, OMG! All I Can say about this place is that their garlic knots are freakin' addicting. I can sit down with those, their butter and their marinara sauce and be happy.
Their pizza is wonderful, too. Half the time when my friend visits, we eat here or order to pick up. We're both pizza fiends and this place hits the spot.
My son loves their ravioli with meat sauce. Finally a place I don't have to worry about him finishing his food. I never have anything to put in a doggie bag for him.
The portions are generous and the food is worth every penny.

You'll never get home. LOL! Whether he's Bobby Flay, Emeril or just hinks he is, this place will keep him occupied while you're off checking out the other stores.

Actually, you'll be busy yourself here, since it's a great place to find those little knick-knacks that make your palce that much more homey. They have linens, housewares, glasswares, etc.
Also, if you're having a problem finding some of the ingredients that recipes ask for, this place will most likely have them. They also carry Illy products, and if you've ever had Illy coffee, you know how good it is.
