The only thing that could make the banh mi sandwich better is if there were some obscure, obnoxious way to pronounce it. Then all the people who call pho “fuh” could lord their culinary superiority over everyone else in yet another way. “It’s not a ‘bon-me,’” they’d say. “It’s a ‘boon-mh.’” I take that back. […]

They sound like they belong in a torture chamber: The reformer. The chair. The cadi. Even by the looks of them, with their stiff headboard-like designs, detachable springs, and parts that move with ominous squeaks and clanks, they’re not the most inviting of workout equipment. But in the world of fitness, the Pilates apparatus are […]
Fermented things scare a lot of people. Submerged veggies in dubious states of edibility are not exactly as mouthwatering as they may have been in the past, and the staple and tradition of fermented food in the human diet has declined as most of the foods in supermarkets are sterilized, pasteurized, or rendered a-biotic through […]
I got an email this week imploring me to watch a recent segment on “20/20” titled “Is Your Veterinarian Being Honest With You?” If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Stephen Colbert, it’s that headlines consisting of ominous leading questions are always trustworthy, so I was eager to see this fearless foray into the dark underbelly […]
The Center helps students and community members attain practical points on the spectrum with instruction and events designed to help improve attention, engage students and teachers, deal with chronic pain, become better leaders, and improve communication. “We use a variety of physiological measurements and self-reporting to get a sense of impact,” Germano said. “That way […]
Looks like we’re down to zero meatball places. One Meatball Place, the West Main Street spot that served up beef, chicken, and vegetarian meatballs on sandwiches and a la carte, has closed its doors after 15 months of business. Taking its place in the hands of new owners will be Public Fish & Oyster, a […]

Charlottesville thrives in the midst of farms and locally grown food, and as Virginia gains credibility as a wine destination, our little town […]
Tourist season at the gym is upon us. Whether folks are inspired by hitting the restart button for 2014, or disheartened by the tightness of their jeans post-holiday binging, it’s no secret that January and February bring an influx of treadmill neophytes to fitness centers. But despite an inclination for gyms and studios to incentivize […]
While The Shops at Stonefield struggle to become known for something other than a place to see a movie, a cluster of restaurants surrounding the theater may save the day. Travinia Italian kitchen, which is routinely packed, and Pasture, the bare-bones, cafeteria-style homage to locally sourced food, have lured foodies to the development. And soon, […]
As 2013 comes to a close, here’s a look back on the area’s ever-changing food and drink scene, in rhyming couplets. As they say, to eat is a treat, to rhyme divine. Farewell, Camino, and Big Dawgz, see ya later. To those who loved weiners, you were the Corner’s major player. Goodbye to Arch’s […]
