New Happy Hour: Malverde
Just in time for afternoon fun, Malverde introduces a Happy Hour!
TRIO at the Four Seasons Introduces a Happy Hour!
I’ve raved about TRIO more times than probably any other restaurant, but it isn’t necessarily a low-budget night out. Enter Happy Hour. Now one of the city’s finest restaurants and wine-spots is offering a Happy Hour Monday through Saturday from 5-8pm! 1/2 off appetizers and 1/2 off wines by the glass in the TRIO Wine…
Food Porn: TRIO
Food porn. This post is nothing but unadulterated food porn. I LOVE TRIO’s popovers, so much so that the PR director makes sure to have them available to me whenever I show up. See my previous post on TRIO’s popovers … But most everything TRIO serves is divine too, including free range beef tenderloin of…

Daily Juice Cafe
Hello! I’m Lisa, and I’m often mentioned as one of Lyssa’s “companions” when she blogs. I’m now getting my own voice! I started counting down the days to the Daily Juice Café opening last spring, after a Daily Juicer on a party boat told me about the plans for a full restaurant. Daily Juice smoothies…
Sagra … do you have _____? Oh, you do?
This was me at Sagra for lunch today. There’s been some buzz around the place recently for its Recession lunches, a menu of Under-$10 specials, so I decided to check it out (with my dad–hey, why spend even $10 when you don’t have to?!). In a cute little house on the corner of 17th &…
