massage

[sissychrissy1.livejournal.com]

After a long week at work, I'm looking to get an impromptu massage either today or tomorrow. The only place I've been around here is Massage Therapy Works, which I found to be just okay (I don't remember who my massage therapist was). Any other recommendations in the area in about the same price range, or if anyone particularly likes Massage Therapy Works, who do you recommend there? (specifically looking for therapeutic massage)

as a zombie enthusiast, i'll take any opportunity to wander the streets listlessly, moaning "brrraaaiinss," and so should you.

for those who say that halloween comes but once a year, i scoff at thee.

SCOFF!

a little fake blood and purple eyeshadow can combine to create a perfectly undead appearance.

A sign in the window of 'Eleni of New York' says that her shop will be closed until May 30.
(She is a tailor and dry cleaner on Elm Street.)

highland cleaners

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had ever used the laundromat on Highland Ave. (right next to the gas station) for their dry-cleaning? I use them for regular laundry and also have had pants tailored there with wonderful results. I see that their sign says that they do dry-cleaning, as well. Are they as good at that as everything else? :-) Also, what are their rates? I have probably 5-8 sweaters and 2 wool coats to clean -- yay for spring cleaning!

Thanks a bunch!

restaurant review: 400 highland: brunch report

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

went back to 400 highland to try the brunch.

best part in this humble lush's opinion: screwdrivers made with FRESH-SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE. heaven!!

also excellent: breakfast burrito with a kind of guacamole-like sauce -- i ended up dipping everything else (home fries, sausage) in that sauce, it was so good. scrambled eggs with fresh herbs, chicken-apple sausage. nicely non-bitter cappucino. spent awhile geeking about chocolate with the executive chef, who sent up a FABULOUS chocolate dessert -- like a pot of melted chocolate, with creamy creamy espresso ice cream and candied hazelnuts.

previously, we'd had the blt (excellent, nice bread) and a special of poached eggs on fried green tomatoes. the latter at least is apparently going to make an appearance more regularly, which makes me happy.

the people there are also all really nice. brunch there is currently slow, so they are chatty if you aren't already talking, and i find that friendly. (i refer here to two waitresses and the executive chef :)

the teevees are still on, which i find incredibly annoying, but at least from the food-seating part the glass midsection structure mostly blocks the view, so that's a mercy.

the food is pretty reasonably priced; i think all the breakfast entrees are around $9, and there's a burger that's like $16 (!!) my eggs and sausage totalled around $7 for more than enough food. i confess i spent a shameful amount on the screwdrivers though :)
