black cast iron skillet
I recently purchased a black cast iron skillet from Kitchen Kaboodle. I needed a new skillet, as my old one had found an untimely death of being torched in a grease fire on the top of my stove. (My fault, not the skillet's.) Kitchen Kaboodle sold my boyfriend and myself on the idea of a black cast… Read More
- Pros:
- great customer service
- Cons:
- i've been known to ruin cooking pans...

I want to live in their store.
This isn't a fair review, because I have never bought anything from their store except for soap. That being said, I want everything in the store. My obliging boyfriend will stand in the window with me as I stare at the beds, linen, and couches that I want to fill our apartment with. The only… Read More
- Pros:
- furniture is completely gorgeous
- Cons:
- too expensive for me
Blush Beauty Bar

love the lovely makeup
Blush beauty bar makes my soul sing; they have makeup, goodies, and they have beauty services. I have been there a few times for their "flirtini" (actually, maybe it's called "blushtini,") anyways, it is their fifteen minutes makeup application. It's easy and inexpensive and I left feeling like a… Read More
- Pros:
- staff is friendly, great products and services
Thai Orchid Restaurant

hands down best meal(s) of my life
I love Thai Orchid. They're always happy to see me, the warm goodness of their noodles warms me from my soul to my toes, they never mess up an order, their service is consistent. Nothing makes me happier after a long day to go to Thai Orchid with a book or a good friend. Thank you Thai… Read More
- Pros:
- pad prik, pad thai, service, their curries, mmmmmm yum.
- Cons:
- parking
Toro Bravo

small plates for sharing make great dates
I went to Toro Bravo a few months ago, and feel a little rusty on the details. But reading the two other reviews that are up for them, I thought I would put in my two cents to defend them. We called ahead for two, arrived and had a short wait. Chose to sit at the bar, as the tables for two were… Read More

shoes, hoop earrings, shoes...
good place to go to find yourself a new pair of kicks or new earrings. Ali and Nicole are always helpful, never pushy.
- Pros:
- pretty new shoes in my closet
Byways Cafe
- Category:
- Restaurants

yum-o
The staff at By Ways are great multi-task-ers. They always seem to be simultaneously filling two waters and a coffee, taking an order and setting a table. Food then arrives promptly, correctly, and piping hot. I recommend the Space Needle Scramble, it hits the spot every time. Yum-o.
- Pros:
- the seattle scramble and paying attention to coffee refills
- Cons:
- the lines on sunday mornings
Apotheke
- Category:
- Restaurants

it makes me think of that rob thomas song, you know, with the white lights...
Apotheke is a beautiful white space, just upstairs from Andina. The staff is really knowledgeable about all of the wines, beers, and liquor and is happy to make suggestions. I love that they give you a syllubus with the menu, explaining their concept when you come in. One of their beers is… Read More
- Pros:
- service
- Cons:
- parking, but that's not really their fault

happy hour happy hour happy hour!
Cheap happy hour bites with free entertainment walking past the windows... being located off Stark does seem to have some benefits! Our server made great drink recomendations, thought they don't do deals on the drinks for happy hour, just the food. The happy hour food menu is extensive, so there… Read More
- Pros:
- watching all the portland locals out the windows
- Cons:
- parking, but that's not really their fault

mama leone's chicken soup... mmm mmm good
Elephants is great for lunch because you don't have to commit to having anyone thing... I like to pick out little pints of salads and macaroni and cheese to make a smorkshaborg (sp?) of food. Today my good girlfriend and I sat at the bar and I had this delicious bowl of mama leone's chicken soup… Read More
- Pros:
- mama leone's chicken soup
- Cons:
- bit expensive for this college student
