Actually, the title of this entry should read "Only Thai in Northeast," but whatever. A "coming soon" sign has graced the window of the former Palm Court space at Central and Lowry, and Sen Yai Sen Lek Thai Rice &...

What exactly is taking this movie so long to come to a theater near me? The damn trailers have been online for like a year. I'll see it without English subtitles, I don't care. I'm not going for the moral...

If you're planning to go to the vita.mn Poolside Fashion Show tonight, keep your fingers crossed for dry skies. I have a hunch they'll remain clear, but in the event they don't, the show's rain date is next Thursday. Rock...

Apologies to everyone that tried to contact me this weekend and was either treated with an unreturned phone call or one-sided text conversation. I was busy making a movie for the 48 Hour Film Project, which kicked off Friday night...

Dear Girl Friday, I found your blog and thought maybe you could help me with something. I was born and raised in Minneapolis and have just moved back after living in New York City for the past few years. In...

Alright, I finally made it to Indio last weekend. Here's my mini-review on vita.mn: Chef Hector, Please lower your prices! Indio was a knockout dining experience. From the perfectly mixed, juicy cocktails to the fresh-fried tortilla chips to the black...

Kickin' it with JDR and the G-ride. This photo was taken at the vita.mn-sponsored Voltage pre-party Tuesday night at Nick & Eddie (wow, that was kind of a mouthful). I wanted to thank manager Doug Anderson on my way out...

It's not that I'm obsessed with Chiapas--although I see how writing about the place three times in the last two weeks might give you that impression--it's just that when the only good Mexican place in Northeast closes for remodeling, you...

Chiapas is open again! Whew, I was getting a little scared there. I'll stop in for lunch or dinner tomorrow to make sure they didn't try anything fancy with the menu.

- The 4th Annual Northeast Hotdish Revolution will be taking place next Sunday, April 13th, in the banquet hall above Crescent Moon Bakery. It's kind of a "battle of the boroughs," with residents of Holland, Sheridan, Bottineau, Windom Park, Audubon...

Good afternoon dear readers. I'm writing to you from an undisclosed Nicollet and 26th-ish location because, for whatever reason that I've not yet had time to discover, my internet is still down at home. I'm still alive. You can go...

- Don't freak out, Chiapas Mexican restaurant is only closed for remodeling, not for good. I was kind of wondering when they'd get around to taking down the ducks-and-pheasants wall paper borders; it doesn't exactly play up the otherwise appropriate...

Next Wednesday is the third installment of Singled Out at The Saloon, presented by vita.mn and hosted by me. We're basically ripping off the MTV dating game show of the same name, but with sexy gay bachelors instead of slick-haired...
