Can you picture a time when our town didn’t have a wine bar on every corner?
We Ate Here
Was it deja vu? We were in the former Atomic Burrito space, and we were ordering from a build-your-own style menu like that south-of-the-border joint used to serve. But rather than varieties of salsa, we were pondering a set of distinctly Eastern elements, eventually settling on green tea soba noodles, Panang curry, marinated tofu, and […]
Keeping up with the Joneses
Before I begin, let me make the disclaimer that this is not a plug. I am not playing favorites here; I am simply giving props where props are deserved. With that out of the way, it seems that Migration: A Gallery has a fun little blog out there in the big Internet. The online journal, […]
Restaurant for the rest of us

The same is true, says local relationship coach Marya Choby, when you pick out a mate. Among the pearls of dating wisdom Marya Choby shared with SUGAR: “Date for fun and practice.” Every […]
Lashing out over Lumigan
Not since the PETA folks learned that Jennifer Lopez likes to use real fox hair for her false eyelashes has there been such an uproar over the eyelash. You might know that cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists have recently prescribed Lumigan, a prescription medication for glaucoma, to patients with healthy eyes who just want to benefit […]
The global look
Lindsay Baron cites her four passions as “research, writing, nature, and researching beauty products with a scientist’s fervor.” The result? Her earth-friendly beauty blog, ecopretty.blogspot.com. Baron uses her experience as a freelance writer and former Sephora employee to address the modern woman’s need for better beauty products. As she very rightly says, “gone are the […]
