This bubble tea house is supposed to have some of the best tapioca balls around and once we tried it, we would agree.  There are a huge variety of flavours but I personally prefer mango or some combination of mango &#8211; such as mango/lychee, mango/pineapple &#8211; with slush and tapioca balls.

Popular vegetarian spot filled with local Main Street hipsters &#8211; tattoos and various body piercings are de rigueur.  Eclectic decor with old school furniture and interesting quotes on the wall. Average but tasty vegetarian food with large portions with reasonably priced food and drinks. A draft beer or glass of wine averages [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Japanese food made us think of kewpie mayonnaise and I was surprised to hear (well maybe not really) &#8211; that it contained MSG and that MSG may be a key player in &#8220;umami&#8221; &#8211; the fifth taste&#8230;.
Interesting New York Times article on MSG.

So we braved the line-ups and went back to Toshi’s. There is a no reservation policy so write your name on the list and be prepared to wait (and wait) unless of course you get there before 5pm (when it opens) or after 8:30pm. The restaurant only seats approximately 30 people. ALL [...]]]></description>

The perfect place for us to unwind and enjoy good simple food after the extravagance of Per Se.  One of Mario Batalli’s battalion of restaurants, this place hit the spot.  It is obviously a local favorite &#8211; still going strong after 11pm when we were seated.  Despite being busy and [...]]]></description>

There are still line-ups to get in although to be fair, they have a pager system which you can take to the bar and enjoy drinks as well [...]]]></description>

Solid food – nothing special on the calibre of average good food.  Selling French bistro fare in a nice casual setting. Started off the [...]]]></description>
