Hurricane Damage to NJ Restaurants
- equal_Mark Nov 1, 2012 09:27 AM
Got this from Drew's Bayshore Bistro in Keyport:
"Hello everyone. First and Foremost we hope you all weathered Sandy well. We know a lot of folks in our area didn't do so well, and our thoughts and prayers go out to them. Where are we at Drew's? well Sandy wasn't too kind to us either, but we will be back. We had about 51/2 feet of water tear thru the bistro, and it's gonna be while before we put out the next batch of shrimp & grits. We're not sure when that is going to be, but we'll be sure to let you know! Hope to see you soon - Drew & Tracy"
I'll assume that Nemo, which is across the street on the bay side suffered similar damage.
Sallee Tee's is sort of deja vu. Not unexpected, but sad. 5 feet of water in the place, they are putting on their happy face and saying that it will take a couple of weeks to dry out and clean up before they can open again.
And Kitchen Witch being gutted as we speak.
re: Deb Van D
We ventured into Atlantic City on Friday night (despite the Mayor's warning that we'd be going at our own risk)
AC was pretty desolate, some businesses still had the boards over their windows and there were a few street lights out
Definite increased police presence on the streets
I am hesitant to post much about our dinner, because over the years, we've become quite familiar with the restaurants owned by the Dougherty family
I will say that Dock's Oyster House, the Knife & Fork and Harry's all came away unscathed
We had a fabulous meal on Saturday night and the place was nearly empty
The food at Dock's and K&F is consistently great, the service is warm and friendly
If your favorite place is open, and you can afford the extra few bucks out of your pocket… GO!
The people that work for tips who have been out of work could use your support
Also, the small or new business owners may have insurance to cover any food lost, but the insurance doesn't cover loss of revenue…
re: cgarner
Nj workers who have lost their jobs due to the storm are eligible for Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance. And this included those who are self employed.
Here is the information:
re: cgarner
Actually, there is "business interruption" insurance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business...
re: eleeper
Which in most states is usually a VERY SPECIAL add on or amendment.Not something that just happens without agents,actuaries and sub policies.
re: eleeper
which does not pay due to state of emergency!
Drew's (fairly) new location unfortunately sits downhill of Front Street. Nemo's front took water but the entire backend including the new deck sat high enough not to be taken out even with the bay at their back sight view. The Red Sky Restaurant, Ye Cottage Inn, Mike's Subs, Hotdog guy and Keyport Fishery took hits to varying degree. Roads leading to Keyport's downtown are closed to most traffic and will be for some time while the cleanup at the bay continues.
re: Tapas52
I just got off the phone w/a friend who lives in PPB, and she said it's a war zone there...like nothing she's seen in her whole life, and she's been down there for decades. I can't imagine too many places in that town are okay right now.
re: Tapas52
Maruca's posted on their Facebook page that the store survived without any major damage.
re: Njchicaa
good to hear marucas survived ...but all around them is gone ...so sad.
I wonder also about the Atlantic bar & Grille
re: Tapas52
I would seriously doubt if you could even find where the footprint of the Atlantic Grill was - sitting in the dunes as they did, and the storm surge -
re: JustJake
Seaside Park and South Seaside Park were barely touched. Waves never breached the dunes. Damage was on bayfront.
re: FWeats
Does that mean ABG is ok? Ditto for Ebby's?
re: veganhater
Think so but not sure. In Fl. now.
re: veganhater
The Atlantic Bar and Grill Is Fine with No Damage ..It is going to Reopen with The orignal Chef Mike Back in Feb or March and Not only is he the Chef But also The New Owner..From What I hear its going to be Called Chef Mike's ABG and will have some of the old ABG Favs Plus new Economy Friendly Tapas and Small Plates..will see
re: HillJ
Mike's Subs in Keyport was dismantled this week and The Red Sky intends to rebuild/reopen. Hot Dog guy is gone, Fishery is open for business. Ye Cottage Inn sustained a great deal of structural damage, no idea status. Nemo's is open for business. I do not know the status of Drew's place.
re: clambake44
I saw a picture of the building and it looked intact. No clue about water damage inside, though.
re: clambake44
I saw the pic, also. And it supposedly faired well. However, with all the other damage that Sandy wreaked on the island, it will be some time before anyone is going to be let back into the area anyway.
re: clambake44
The Crab's Claw Inn is now open!
re: corvette johnny
Keep in mind that the picture of Sally Tees was taken about 10 hours before the worst of the storm hit!
re: equal_Mark
yeah I heard it was a mess down there. did anything in seabright survive? I heard something about woodys cooking for for the workers in seabright so they might be still standing.
re: corvette johnny
Woody's suffered minimal damage, and has joined up with chefs from AMA, Sea Bright Pizza, Yumi and Fromegerie to cook hot meals for first responders, National Guard and contractors working to restore Sea Bright to some semblance of normalcy.
re: equal_Mark
Nice. If anyone needs it, it's the responders in the Sea Bright, Highlands, Monmouth Beach area. Are there still around 50 folks missing and unaccounted for in Sea Bright?
I do believe that everything in the Highlands is gone. Bay Ave (I don't know that Joe will rebuild as his wheels are going and I wouldn't be surprised if he either retired or is looking to FL to restart). Wind n Sea - Gone. Clam hut - Gone, Lusty Lobster - Gone, Inlet Cafe - Gone, Bahrs - Gone, Moby Dick - Gone. Grimaldi's - Gone.
Matisse in Belmar - Gone. My friend who is a line chef at Drew's has already applied for UE. But they will rebuild.
Mr. C's Allenhurst - Gone. Mc Loones in Sea Bright - looks like it may be a tear down with the AP location having taken a good amount of water to the first floor.
Don't know about Whispers, Black Trumpet in Spring Lake. I'm sure that there is nothing left of the Atlantic Grill. Don't know how my favorite sushi spot, Izu did, but wouldn't be suprised if it's gone. Anything in Sea Bright (Woody's, Yumi) are also probably on the ropes. Spoke with one of the owners at Sea Bright Pizza and they're throwing in the towel, as they only recently reopened after Irene. Don''t know about the Flaky Tart - I think that they're ok.
It's going to be a real long time before us locals get back to normal. For all of the restaurants that I cited in the Highlands, ALL the residents lost their homes, everything. Highland's PD are having them park on the hill to run this out and the scene of those in need at OL of Perpetual Help there on #36 was heartbreaking. Give what you can (time, money, clothing).
It is so so very sad and depressing down here.
re: JustJake
Long Branch in general is at a much higher elevation than other nearby shore towns. As a result the buildings and other structures suffered much less direct damage.
The upshot? For one, Izu Sushi is currently open for business.
re: JustJake
Lusty Lobster per an email and their website plans to reopen soon. Woody's does as well.
I cannot image a life without Sea Bright pizza. It's the best.
re: JustJake
@ JustJake....I was in the Highlands this past Saturday Nov. 3rd and I can tell you that the Lusty Lobster is still there.....Bahrs is still there......Grimaldi's is still there.....Moby's is still there.......I don't know the amount of damage they received internally however externally the structures are still there and look "sound".........I'm not sure where you received your information from but I am happy to say it is inaccurate.
re: jrvedivici
Thanks. I had assumed that as the WindnSea was crushed, that many nearby restaurants incurred the same fate. Couple that with the numbers of homeless standing in line for aid at OLPH up on the hill - and I missed, and hope that your report is correct, but there's no discounting that just because a business is still standing, doesn't mean it's going to be able to get back up on it's feet in a few weeks, let alone a few months.
Relative to SB Pizza, that's great news and the information I received was incorrect. I know that it's only been a few of months that they've reopened after Irene - and then to get knocked on one's a## again, I could understand.
While I do hope that all return, it is not going to be easy - and some, will not regardless of what they tell you at this point. Has anyone heard as to Joe Romanowski's building and what he intends on doing? I love SB Pizza, but losing BAT would be tough as it remains my favorite restaurant down here.
re: JustJake
I'm not sure where or what OLPH is...but I did stand in a soup line at a Church next to the Highlands Town Hall for a cup of coffee while I was there. A good friend of mine lived on Ocean Ave....about 10 houses from the water.....I brought him in to see/asses the damage. The water line in his home was about 3/4 feet high.........the town while devastated did survive and should thrive once again. It will take time like everything else.
re: jrvedivici
Our Lady of Perpetual Help up on the highway
re: JustJake
I was back in town yesterday and Bahr's had a sign they were open for business!!
re: JustJake
Just a note ~ our business is two doors down from Sea Bright pizza and Cono is definitely not throwing in the towel. We were together for hours yesterday, at our devastated stores, and he was leading the, 'Stop crying! We rebuild and put it behind us!" cry. Sea Bright pizza is his love and his livelihood, as was our store, Gracie & the Dudes.
re: MichelleM131
Good luck Michelle, Hoping for the best for you and yours. Tom and Tina...(your former neighbors when you had the ice place in AH)
Now rebuild Donovans! :)
re: MichelleM131
Michelle - i am so glad Gracie and the Dudes is returning. By far the best ice cream in the area. My wife and I are Sea Britghtonians and we walk (or drive) down all the time. Sea Bright pizza is delicious. There eggplant pie is out of this world good. On that note I hope all of Sea Bright returns to normal soon!
re: J M S
Just shared with me - Hurricane Sandy and the Highlands. There are shots of various restaurants in town in this video. Heartbreaking as to the magnitude of the loss for residents of the Highlands.
re: JustJake
I'm sure many have significant damage and will take some time to come back. Bahrs, however, seems to have sustained relatively minimal damage and Jay and the crew should have them back up soon.
For updates on Bahrs: https://www.facebook.com/BahrsLanding...
re: JustJake
Wasn't commenting on their culinary prowess, just the fact that they aren't "gone". FWIW, stick to the basics and it's a fine meal. No pastas, paellas, etc. Soup, clams on the half, a fish platter or a lobster and out.
Flaky Tart in Atlantic Highlands is fine, and was busy making Mac and cheese for some of the shelters. I think Copper Canyon is fine as I have a reservation this Saturday.
Jenkinsons in PT Pleasant had no damage to their buildings and structures. Tiki Bar did not fare so well. Building is intact but that entire rear deck is gone.
Belford Bistro reopened this past Wednesday.
Broad Street in Red Bank seemed OK, went to VIA 45 on Sunday, excellent as usual, menu was slightly limited compared to normal but to be expected.
Haven't heard about Bay Avenue Trattoria.
Does anyone know how the pier in Long Branch fared? I ask partially because a friend who lives down the shore wants to meet up this weekend and we have no idea, and partially because we haven't read/seen much about Long Branch. Avenue? Sirena?
equal_Mark to the white courtesy phone... :-)
re: Curlz
The restaurants are not open yet. I haven't seen them personally but I hear they will be opening soon. Check this out....
Angelo the Copper canyon is OK. I might be there tonight actually : )
re: corvette johnny
Pho Le for the bride & I tonite. It'll be a menage a trois as I intend on bringing a bottle of Reisling as well to share.
re: JustJake
what do you get at Pho Le? I want to go there soon but know nothing about Vietnamese food.
re: corvette johnny
Yes Woody is cooking for anyone in need..what about Barnacle Bill?
re: shesallthat
El Familiar is open in Toms River we had a wonderful birthday party there last night.
Colombian/mexican food was delicious.
re: corvette johnny
Corvette Johnny
Sorry if this post is too late CC is reopening tomorrow.
BTW my JSB C6 is trucks away in the garage until the salt washes away!!!
re: angelo04
Matise in Belmar is destroyed and the oceanfront bar at Mr. Cs in Allenhurst is gon
Supposedly the skrestaurants on the boardwalk i'm Asbury Paek will reopen by Christmas.
re: SusieQQ
Vette, you can't go wrong with any of their dishes. I just had my wife's leftover Pepper Shrimp which is char broiled (including the green beans) and brown rice.
We had the Vegetarian Spring Rolls (tofu based) which is served with a peanut dipping sauce (not my favorite- but I used it), and also had the Egg Rolls which are my favorite (especially with the lettuce wraps and fresh mint and cilantro). The following are highly recommended: Tuna salad, Pepper Shrimp, Souper Bowl, Lemongrass Curry Chicken. Always check out their specials (which the service staff doesn't bring to your attention). It's on a little plexi standup on the table. Last nite's specials had peppered monkfish and also a crispy duck dish. Disappointed that we missed it - as the duck looked like a real winner.
re: angelo04
NIce, mine is tucked away too. I only drive it in pristine conditions. Any advice on an indoor car cover? I was thinking the satin stretch Gm one or the one LG sells with the zipper. PS, don't forget to hook up a battery tender ; ) Over the summer my battery died and wouldn't even take a charge. I got lazy and forgot about the tender.
JustJake, thanks for the info. I might have to try that duck!
Barnacles is not open. I think they just got power 2 days ago. Salt Creek is open and it was PACKED friday. I ate there and luckily snagged a bar table right as I walked in and didn't have to wait over an hour. Their baseball cut sirloin with bluecheese is a decent steak.
Other places that suffered physical damage were Shipwreck Point, Leggetts, Union Landing, Sand Bar, and Labrador Lounge.
The loss of power was also significantly damaging. I just got power at home in Manasquan yesterday. A few local restaurants just got it a day before that - Remington's, Maria's, Squan Tavern, etc.
I was in belmar and spring lake yesterday--both heartbreaking (the SL boardwalk is just GONE) but I did notice that the hotel where black trumpet is had an open sign on their front steps. Not sure if that's for the restaurant, but FYI.
Had an excellent lunch at massuto's--pizzas are legit Neapolitan style! The menu is still limited but it was good to see something up and running after being in belmar.
Hoffman's was also open and was worth every calorie, as usual!
re: Curlz
It's still very bad down here. Access is limited to the beach areas in many towns. The trash piles of people's belongings are everywhere and quite depressing to see.
On a positive side, I'm glad to note that some area restaurants really stepped up with free meals during the worst of the aftermath. Here in Manasquan, Firefly was offering up lunch and coffee for several hours a day - serving a lot of food that they went out and bought. 10th Ave. Burrito and Brandl. were doing something similar in Belmar. I'm sure there were others that helped as well (I saw the manager from Remington's assisting the sandwich shop Max Devros in offering lunches).
At bottom, the rebuilding of the physical structures, economy, and collective psyche is going to take a lot of time. To the extent any of you are not sure where you might like to go for dinner, think about patronizing one of these spots.
re: equal_Mark
Thanks, Mark.
I know that there are CH rules/regs about what can be posted here, but the folks down the shore should know that there are restaurants in Northern NJ trying to help! Many are offering special menus or events (Belmar has one next Sat) with proceeds going to charities, others are offering their kitchens for pop-ups on the nights they're closed. If the administrators will allow it on this thread, I think it would be a community service to allow us to name names...
ETA: I realize that Belmar isn't NNJ, but rather, a shore town that was slammed--was just trying to make my point.
re: Curlz
It's fine to list these types of things, but please try to keep the focus on the food that's on offer, and talk about them in your own words rather than copying any marketing/promo materials. And, of course, our rules for insiders still apply -- anyone who is involved with one of the businesses should not mention themselves.
Woody's in Sea Bright helps organize & feed those helping to rebuild the town:
It was nice being able to dine at Nemo's last nite. Had to gas up on the way home after working late, and got off at #117. Figured I'd try heading down Broad St, found the downtown parking full and after a quick turnaround found a spot across the street.
While I commented to my waitress that it was great to see that Nemo's was opened and unscathed from the Hurricane, her command of the language was weak and after repeating it twice, gave up trying to convey my feelings. As I had sushi the nite before at Izu, opted for a few appy's (Shumai and the duck roll) along with a bowl of hot miso soup.
re: angelo04
My mother in law keeps asking about the Shrimp Box in Pt. Pleasant (her favorite restaurant). Any idea how they fared?
Can't be too bad.. says opening for business in March of 2013 (they generally close in December, I think).
re: MarlboroMan
I have not heard, but that has me wondering about Mr. Shrimp in Belmar. They were inland though so hopefully they made out OK.
re: angelo04
Drove past mr shrimp last Sunday and it appeared to be open. Hoffman's in spring lake was also open but had only about half their normal flavors at that point
re: MarlboroMan
Shrimp Box is for sale. Owners will run it until sold. Don't know about damage.
re: FWeats
Drove by the Shrimp Box last Friday, after Thanksgiving and it was closed. Didn't seem to be any significant damage, but couldn't tell about flooding. No obvious cleanup going on though.
re: rjka
Shrimp Box is rebuilding, they had about 4 1/2 ft of water! Daniel's Bistro should be open by mid-end of January if construction goes well. The fate of Daniel's Trattoria is still unknown. Broadway Bar & Grill is rebuilding, no time line as of yet. Spoke to the owner of Daniel's the other day, he is opening Daniel's Bistro By The Sea on Main St. in Avon By The Sea, should be open by Dec 9th.
re: rcript
We ate at the Shrimp Box tonight. I thought I had heard it has been reopened for a while, but the waitress told us that they had just reopened on Wednesday. The hostess told me that the water had come half way up the waterside windows, and that they will be putting some markings/plaques indicating the high water mark.
Reds Lobster Pot has a for sale sign on it. Daniel's Bistro has a sign indicating that they will reopen.
Avon Pavilion is gone. Matisse in Belmar has been torn down and rumor is that the town won't build new permanent structures on the new boardwalk, so unclear about Matisse (and Mack's Chicken Shack!).
re: Tapas52
T, they've been advertising their New Year's Eve bash. I haven't been to LC myself in some time. I should....
Finally got into Sea Bright a month after Sandy. Stopped for a bite to eat at the only business currently open. Mrs. Rooney has run her Sabrett stand at this location 10 months out of the year since 1977. She only reopened yesterday after repairing and refurbishing the cart after submersion in 5 feet of seawater during the storm.
re: equal_Mark
Some more good news for Sea Bright-Ama at the Driftwood also re-opened that Friday.
For what it's worth, the following restaurants are still too damaged to be open and had to stay out of Restaurant Week:
Mister C's Beach Bistro - Allenhurst
Langosta Lounge - Asbury Park
Jake's Crab Shack - Belmar
Matisse Restaurant - Belmar
River Rock Restaurant & Marina Grill - Brick
Labrador Lounge - Normandy Beach
Daniel's Bistro - Point Pleasant Beach
Daniel's Trattoria - Point Pleasant Beach
Jack Baker's Lobster Shanty - Point Pleasant Beach
Shipwreck Point - Point Pleasant Beach
Shrimp Box - Point Pleasant Beach
Woody's Ocean Grill - Sea Bright
Aqua Blu Kitchen & Cocktails - Toms River
To be frank, Jake's and Matisse probably should never be rebuilt at their original locations - unless Belmar is willing to invest in some significant dunes. I mean, take a look at what Bradley Beach did in the 90s. That sure seems to have been prudent now, huh? (But, what do I know? I'm one of those people who know that we are contributing to the dangerous warming of the planet, is overeducated, reads too much, and would rather walk than drive whenever possible.)
Oh, and Sea Bright, if ever the Constitutional power of Eminent Domain should be exercised (oh, yeah, we had this discussion in the 80s), this is it. Face it, that part of the strip shouldn't be built upon. I know it's close to Middletown and Red Bank's populations, but maybe it should be more like Sandy Hook? Please remember, we're paying for this rebuild, the last one, and the next to come (by "we", I mean us in NJ and the country as well* - which means NJ residents pay twice). For what? Seriously, tear it down, leave a roadway, and move on.
* There is a reason the London reinsurers won't back flood policies for much of our coast so that the Federal government has to absorb the risk.
re: MGZ
Please remember that there are many of us who depend on our locations in Sea Bright to make a living. What better place to sell ice cream than at the beach? We are working on a vision for a sustainable community but cannot imagine wiping the entire town off the map. A new flood elevation will be released on Dec 10 for the entire NJ coast. We will have to modify or rebuild our properties in order to acquire insurance. We have only been there, as a business, for four years. There are others who have been there for ten, twenty, thirty or more. So, please remember Long Branch, where people were not paid properly for their properties. I cannot imagine the government would write me a check that would equal the value of my both by business and my building. I am in the middle of the "downtown", have never had water in my store before, even with Irene it didn't go over the curb, and I am actually insured by Lloyd's of London.
re: MichelleM131
Just build it right so that it does not become a burden on the US taxpayers. If the cost of building it right, less any subsidies that you might be entitled to, doesn't fit into your business model, move on or else enjoy your potentially expensive hobby!
re: wizard2
Obviously, building it right would be an advantage to me, so my family need not suffer this again. We have four small children and we work hard to provide for them. We actually own our building, or should I say own the mortgage on our building, which limits our ability to move on. The subsidies for businesses are almost non-existent. No help from FEMA, the SBA offers loans for between 4-6%, there is an ICC clause for flood proofing or meeting new building requirements in a rebuild but no one is quite sure if that applies to businesses either.
re: MichelleM131
Look, I'm not saying it's going to be easy on everyone, but that doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do. Coastal development in New Jersey has often been thoughtless. It's time to think.
As you may know, I'm very local. My family has lived at the Shore for a century. I still have the pictures my Grandfather took of the destruction from Hurricane Donna. I love access to the Atlantic so much, I tolerate living in NJ. Nevertheless, I'm willing to be honest and prudent about the best ways to approach restoration and some of them should include not rebuilding.
I will admit, however, that I did not know Lloyd's would write commercial flood insurance policies. I know people who would be very interested in such coverage. The fundamental reason that the National Flood Insurance program exists is because private reinsurers would not cover the risks.
re: MGZ
We are actually one of the highest points in Sea Bright. We were granted a waiver from FEMA stipulating flood insurance was not a requirement for our particular property. We purchased it anyhow because it was so cheap, due to the fact that it was not necessary, I suppose. When my policy is up for renewal, it's anybody's guess who will insure or what the cost will be. We'll have a bit more information on the tenth, with the new elevation levels.
re: MichelleM131
For what it's worth here's a recent article about NJ's development of the Shore and how maybe it's time to rethink:
Two highlights:
"'People opposed every one of our measures because short-sighted people say 'Let's enjoy it today, don't worry about tomorrow,'" said former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, a Republican who proposed a coastal commission in the 1980s in an ultimately failed bid to curb excessive development. "'You just can't do that as a state, or you have to expect that sooner or later you're going to lose that game.'"
"Many experts say Sandy presents an opportunity to rethink New Jersey's future development patterns. Some argue that the most sensible approach would be to pull back from vulnerable coastlines and relinquish some real estate to nature. But already the pressures are building -- from homeowners, and from municipalities hungry for property tax revenues -- to put everything back the way it was."
If it makes you feel any better, I feel the same way about quite a few locations that I have know all my life, including some here in Manasquan.
Whitehouse Subs in Atlantic City is still closed as a result of Sandy. I was there on 12/4 and they appeared to be doing a renovation inside and had signs posted on the windows indicating the closure was due to the hurricane damage.
re: angelo04
Where is the new location? Can't find anything on the internet.
re: wizard2
Daniel's Bistro By The Sea, 526 Main Street, Avon By The Sea
re: angelo04
Although it's not a restaurant, I'm happy to post that the Point Lobster Company has been reopened for a bit. Good news for anyone still trying to pull together the best fish they can for Christmas Eve.
I placed a call to Bay Ave. Trattoria the other day (it's a saved # on my cell as is Belford Bistro and a few other favorites) ---- not even a voice message as to status with the phone just ringing and ringing.
Someone mentioned that Grimaldi's was still standing - which is across the street but doesn't necessarily mean it's operational.
I do miss BAT - I'm sure a lot of folks do.
As to the rebuilding of certain towns cited above, I'm in agreement with MGZ on much of her points. Certain areas should probably not be rebuilt (especially Sea Bright) as it's a given it will happen again and again (and it won't take another 100 years). Time to be bought out ala Topsail NC (which had many homes rebuilt 3-4x in a span of a few decades) and annexed to Gateway.
re: JustJake
From BAT's website:
We would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their emails and calls. We will be reopening sometime in the next few months. We will keep you posted on our web site.
Gift Certificates will be available for sale at the restaurant Monday - Friday from 9am - 2pm
We can only accept cash or checks.
Any questions, call Maggie 732 513-4665
Happy Holidays Joe & Maggie
Looking forward to seeing everyone next year!
re: wizard2
That is terrific news. Never bothered to check out their website. Thanks Wizard
re: wizard2
Noticed on BAT's website today:
At this time we do not have any plans to re open in the near future. Thank you to all of our loyal customers.
- Joe & Maggie
re: wizard2
Awful news. That was a great place and a favorite. Wishing Joe and Maggie all the best.
re: angelo04
At least I'll have some fond memories of wonderful dinners with family and friends (one of which whom passed a month or so ago). Joe Romanowski's restaurants were my 'go to' for over 20 years - dating back to his J&M Bistro in Long Branch.
That he's decided not to re-open (at this time) isn't surprising. He did a 6 day week for many many years - it took a physical toll on him (hip replacement) and I wish him well.
Man, my family is really going to miss this place - even my kids had this as their favorite restaurant.
re: JustJake
Any word on bay ave trattoria yet?
re: corvette johnny
I drove past there and stopped to look in a week ago. The inside is still fairly torn up with no visible signs of work in progress.
re: equal_Mark
Ah, that is not good. Well we can keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for the update. I assume the Tap House is in the same boat?
re: corvette johnny
Stopped by today and took a pic through the front door at BAT; no discernible work being done since last time.
re: equal_Mark
Is Grimaldi's pizza across the street open yet?
re: angelo04
Grimaldi's is still closed. They _hope_ to reopen by Memorial day. Pretty much everything on Bay Ave is still closed.
re: equal_Mark
Rumor going around is that Joe wants to reopen, but at a different location...
Rumor has it (from multiple sources) that Maruca's Pizza will not return to the Seaside boardwalk.
I've heard that they are looking for another location. They'll lose a TON of traffic if they stay in Seaside but go onto the strip. Pizza and soda isn't enough to lure most off the boardwalk, they are no Klee's. As for a shop in TR, they had 2 and both closed.
re: Njchicaa
I hope its just a Rumor and Joe & Dominick can recover and open ASAP Where ever they go I'll be there for their PIZZA !
re: Tapas52
Tap, I know you're a Toms River (or nearby) resident. The last time I visited Seaside, it may have been during the Carter Administration. ;-)
I have had their family's pie in Hamilton - it's quite good - delicious in fact. I wish Seaside well in it's reconstruction and that you can enjoy next summer season.
re: JustJake
That's where Donnie is I believe.... Hamilton. He's somewhere in the central-west part of the state near Cherry Hill.
Jake, I grew up in TR, live in the next town over, and even worked at Maruca's as a teenager. I am not just some random person posting about the place.
I hope Joe can find a location on the boardwalk for Maruca's. I don't think there are enough fans to buy their expensive pies on a regular basis to keep them going if they are in some out-of-the-way location.
re: Njchicaa
Just saw this post. Any idea why they won't open on the boardwalk? Their decision or someone else's? This is extremely disappointing news, as it's my favorite pie on any boardwalk.
re: veganhater
They overextended themselves with the attempt to franchise so they are walking away from the building on Porter Ave. I think they are having difficulty finding a place on the boardwalk that wasn't damaged by the storm.
They may not be open for summer 2013 but plan to definitely be up and running for 2014.
Saw this link on Drew's Bayshore Bistro's Facebook page.
re: wizard2
wizard, what a terrific article about quite a few restaurants impacted by the hurricane. The support going on over in Union Beach is also quite remarkable. First time in all my years living in Mon cty that Union Beach rec's major attention.
I've seen a good deal of action over at Drew's new location. The parking lot and surrounding side streets filled with construction work. Good thing parking in Keyport is still (rare) free. That town rallied around Drew in a major way. Nemo's, The Keyport Fishery, all of the pizza shops and Trinity have been up and running for some time. Any word on Red Sky? Mike's Subs is under full re-construction.
I'm looking forward to enjoying meals all over the bayshore and seaside area this spring. Already been to Woody's twice.
I'll be interested to see what Tim decides to do with Rum Runner.
re: JenniS
Thanks for letting us know Jenni S.
re: wizard2
Oh no! Per the article, no more Steve's Breakfast & Lunch in Sea Bright. I could not be more bummed. I am grateful that I had a delicious breakfast there just days before Sandy.
Drew's Bayshore Bistro will be reopening tomorrow, March 5, at his new location at 25 Church St., Keyport!!!
Mueller's Bakery in Bay head is open for the Memorial Day weekend, though they are only selling coffee and their amazing crumb buns. Their phone is not operational, and it is cash only at this point. Apparently they still have not received any money from their flood insurance or anything from FEMA, as of yet, and have only just been able to apply for state grants. Looks like they are trying to come back...at least we can get our crumb bun fix :-)
Yumi in Sea Bright is having a soft opening. They are open for delicious sushi but are training a new staff and working the kinks out. Please be kind if visiting and give them a small pass if all is not perfect. The other Sea Bright establishments hope to be open by mid June. Thanks!
One sign of progress all these months later: I saw a mention recently that the shell that was Sallee Tee's was being torn down. I took a walk by yesterday and was happy to see a new, 6 foot high concrete foundation being finished off. I have no idea what new
incarnation may be revealed but I was glad to see something moving forward at last.

Hopefully it might even be a restaurant...

Colin Farrell and Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain are set to film 'Miss Julie,' a film adapted from a once banned story of a romantic relationship between an Anglo-Irish aristocrat's daughter and her father's valet. Farrell is playing the valet in the film shooting in Co Fermanagh throughout April. 'Miss Julie' has a budget of 4.5 million euros and will shoot in Castle Coole.
Farrell, who is awaiting production, has been making the most of his short time in Ireland.
He's been seen enjoying the luxurious Killyhevlin Hotel and Lough Erne Resort that will soon host Barack Obama when the G8 Summit comes to Fermanagh in June. Farrell has also been spotted shopping in Enniskillen and is apparently planning a trip to Castleknock to see family and friends.
Farrell hasn't shot a film in Ireland since 'Ondine,' a story of an Irish fisherman who believes he discovers a beautiful selkie, that was filmed in Co Cork in 2009. Farrell will have no time to waste as he's scheduled to return to the U.S. in May to shoot 'Solace'.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have a child that attended this school for 3 years (1st - 3rd grade)and one who attended K and 1st as well. I believe that this school is okay for children who are accelerated in learning, however, if you have a child who may be needing extra assistance or learns with different modalities this is not an appropriate placement. As expectations are that each child keep up with the class and there is no room for slow/different learners. Academically, they use top notch materials. However, extracurricular is severely lacking. There is no form of arts, other than what the teacher can work into her lessons. There is a music program that is below standard as well. The learning and appreciation of music is not there. Parent involvement is average. Children eat OUTSIDE in the heat.
If you are looking for a sound foundation for your childs education, look no further. The administration and staff are extremely commited to providing the absolute best education hands down. This is my childs second year here and I cannot say enough about the strides he has made in reading and math. The campus is nice and small, very clean and has a great community feel.
This is a wonderful school. It is a back to basic type learning. Classes are small too.
This school is the best thing to happen to my children. I had 2 children attend Challenger last year, one in 2nd grade and one in Kindergarten. They are both reading at higher levels and their lanuguage skills are through the roof. Also, they enjoy the small, safe environment of the school. They will be attending this year and we are looking forward to it very much!
I have two children in this school. They were in Kindergarten and 1st grade this year. I couldn't be happier with the teachers and administration of the school. They were all warm and friendly, as well as organized and committed to education. I would gladdly recommend them to any parent.

He sat out seven games and hasn't regained his stroke since. Kotchman went hitless in his first 19 at-bats after returning and reached the All-Star break 3 for 40 since the injury.
"I would say I'm seeing the ball fine. The overall results haven't been there on paper and that's all that really matters. That's a given," Kotchman said. "I'm not squaring the ball up as much as I'd like to or as much as I was before. Obviously, you give yourself more chances to get positive results if you're squaring the ball up more often.
"It's just a matter of getting your rhythm, your timing, everything back in sync. You get taken out of it (with an injury). I have to be patient. We always want things right now. It's human nature. ... I'm just trying to get back in the swing of things. It takes time."
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the quality of Kotchman's at-bats has improved but the downturn after such a hot streak is not surprising.
"Casey was swinging the bat better than he ever has in his life for about six weeks. You're not always going to keep that pace," Scioscia said. "He's not far off. He's still having good at-bats and he'll be fine."

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 5497
Review Due Date mm/dd/yyyy set function not working
Last modified: 2011-08-11 11:10:02 PDT
Under Scheduled Conference Setup Step 3: if I choose to set the review due date by month/day/year rather than by number of weeks, the system will incorrectly set the due date during review selection to the current date. The set-by-week function appears to be working fine.
(Note: courtesy of http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6225&p=23845#p23845. I replicated this in 2.3.1, but can't replicate in a current git checkout as the Reviewer Select options seem to be unstable atm. But I haven't seen any recent bug/fix for the issue, so I'm guessing it probably applies to 2.3.2.)

Arguably the best shoe I've ever had.

Comments about Mens Brooks PureConnect 3 Running Shoe:
I bought the PureConnect 2 last year to be my main shoe for speedwork and race days. Before my purchase, I had some misgivings after friends said that the PC2 was too narrow. While it did pinch in spots, I generally found it comfortable. I didn't like its drop or the lacing, as they compromised comfort. But I tolerated it. I used it for a marathon, a half marathon, and many shorter races, in addition to regular temp runs. I wore it out.When looking for another lightweight speed/racing shoe, I decided to gamble on the PureConnect 3. It makes the PC2 look like a piker in comparison. It is far more comfortable. When I put my foot in the first time, it practically clicked in place. The shoe laced up comfortably. Once I started running, I felt properly cushioned and stabilized. Even the hardest surface--concrete--wasn't too jarring. The room in the toe box was perfect. I've had this pair only a couple of weeks, and have used them for only a couple runs: a hill repeat workout and 800m intervals. Both felt like a dream. I'm sure I'll wear out this pair long before the marathon I'm running in January. It will be worth it to buy another pair for the race.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Womens Brooks PureConnect 3 Running Shoe:
I run 15-30 miles a week and regularly train for 5ks as well as 1/2 marathons. I'm 5'3" about 120 pounds, and always wear a neutral shoe. I originally bought these shoes for shorter races, but I use them for everyday running now. I've had a lot of various foot pain like plantar fasciitis, pain on the soles of my feet when running, other pain that sometimes happens just after running. I have professional orthodics, but I don't use them with these shoes because I never have pain with them. Like I do with most running shoes, I buy a size larger than my normal shoe size, but they fit awesome. My last pair lasted just over 300 miles and I'll buy another pair when these wear out.

The combination seemed perfect.
Bangkok Thai Restaurant and Sushi Bar offered two styles of cuisine that have become quite popular in the Summit City. But combining those two presented as much risk as reward in a time when keeping things simple and focused is the popular restaurant trend.
Bangkok Thai need not worry, however.
This little restaurant in Jefferson Centre offered favorable variations of both in a hip, modern atmosphere.
The appetizer options were vast, given I often like having sushi rolls as an appetizer.
The Spicy Crab Spring Rolls were the best with six raw rice wraps stuffed with imitation crab, carrot, cucumber and a spicy sauce. It exuded freshness, every bite crunched and the only fault was that the sauce was not really that spicy. That theme continued during my visits to Bangkok Thai. Dishes I ordered as Thai hot were more of what I would consider to be medium.
When it came to sushi, the Muay Thai Roll and off-menu featured Snow Roll impressed.
The Muay Thai had spicy shrimp, crab and avocado inside the rice, and tuna, salmon and yellowtail outside. The roll was also topped with orange sauce, spicy sauce, Muay Thai sauce – a dark sauce similar to what is commonly called eel sauce – flying fish roe and sesame seeds. All of the seafood added something to this rather jam-packed roll and each could be tasted. The sauces added a lot of flavor but kind of got muddled, and the creamy avocado was delightful.
The Snow Roll was a little simpler with smoked salmon, crab, avocado and cucumber inside and white tuna and a similar combo of sauces on the outside. The cucumber added some crunch, and the smoky salmon worked well with the sweet sauces. What I also liked about Bangkok Thai's rolls was that they were perfectly sized to be eaten in one bite; not too big, which seems to be a common practice these days.
It is also worth noting that Bangkok Thai has a wonderful children's menu that includes sushi. The basic California Roll my son had was prepared with the same care as the regular rolls, featured two preparation styles – rice inside and out – and was beautifully presented on a raised wooden serving tray.
The most impressive entrées I had were from the Thai side, and they were quite traditional.
The staple papaya salad was as good as it gets. It was a mix of julienned papaya, long beans, carrot, garlic, chiles, dried shrimp and tomatoes dressed with fresh lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar. This masterpiece was the perfect harmony of crunchy, sweet, spicy, sour and salty.
Although there is a small soup section on the menu, the folks at Bangkok Thai referred to the other two dishes I tried – Geng Deng Red Curry and Tom Kha Kai – as soups and it was easy to see why. These delicious coconut-milk based offerings arrived in little bubbling crocks with sticky rice to pour the soupy mixtures over.
The Geng Deng featured my choice of pork, chicken or beef with green beans, bamboo shoots, fresh basil leaves, red and green peppers in the rich, creamy, light brown sauce. I chose chicken, and it was nice and tender; the shoots added some crunch and the basil added a light touch to tame the spice.
I chose pork for the Tom Kha Kai, which was swimming in a kaffir lime leaf-, lemon grass- and galangal-infused sauce, along with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. The lemongrass and pungent lime leaves made this a much lighter dish than the curry, but the heat built up with each spoonful. The pork was not as good as the chicken, but still above par.
The only entrée I was not as impressed with was the Amazing Bangkok Chicken. It was not as amazing as the other three Thai dishes, but I still ate every bite.
The crispy fried chicken pieces in this dish were soaked in a hot chili sauce and topped with crunchy fried basil leaves. There was really no sauce here as the breaded chicken soaked it all up, and it actually reminded me of good ol' boneless Buffalo chicken wings. Fresh basil would have been better than the fried, which added little to this rather heavy, one-note dish. But it was still tasty, and I actually found myself wanting a little ranch or bleu cheese dressing to drizzle over it.
The desserts at Bangkok Thai were more memorable for being unique than they were for being tasty. The least unique, the mango sticky rice, was perfect with soft, ripe fruit and a sweet, creamy sauce along with the chewy rice. The pumpkin custard was a hefty serving, and it had plenty of pumpkin flavor, but I would never choose it over the mango sticky rice. The ginkgo nuts with taro mousse was my second favorite with that same sticky rice coated in the sweet, sticky mousse and dotted with the tender nuts and chewy slices of jujube fruit (i.e. Chinese dates), which were the best part.
The black beans with sago pearls was my least favorite. The pearls are made from palm stems and are similar to tapioca. This dish had a sweet, milky sauce coating everything, but the beans were just too starchy and outside my comfort zone.
The folks at Bangkok Thai did make me feel quite comfortable. There were a couple of delays while waiting for my bill, but my server acknowledged it and apologized upon returning to my table.
The restaurant was also gorgeous. It was dimly lit with modern drop lights, had a tile floor, a little sushi bar tucked neatly into one corner and gorgeous decoratively embroidered fabric under the glass-covered tables.

Why? Got to catch the end of the Tour of Flanders! Which would have been more interesting if it didn't take 20 minutes to finally find a working live feed for the video, causing me to miss the part where Fabian Cancallara ditches Sagan on the last climb and then solos in the final 12k for the win. Fortunately, it's available on youtube here. Cheap $1 tire repair Just east of San GregorioShortly after 8:30 Kevin and I head slowly, and I mean really slowly, out to the coast. He was not a happy camper, and didn't get feeling better until he got mad enough about the pain that he totally ditched me on the Stage Road climb from San Gregorio to Tunitas. What a way to wreck a beautiful morning! And it really was beautiful, with the broken clouds and super-clean air. I thought he'd stop at the top, but no, he was continuing on, making time on me while I had to change out the battery in my video camera before continuing to Tunitas. I pushed pretty hard on the lower, flatter part of Tunitas, knowing that was a place I could make up quite a bit of time on him, and eventually caught up just as the main climb started... and right as I found my rear tire going flat. Darn, two flats in a few weeks, this is killing my typical 3,000 miles between flats average! It's also costing me a lot of money; $5 for the bill I had to reinforce the front tire with last week, but thankfully I had a $1 bill this time. We did climb Tunitas fairly fast after that, and of course I lost contact with him until it started flattening out again. If he ever learns how to push on the flatter parts, I'm in real trouble! But since I was never any good at that when I was his age, I might have a bit of time. Now if we can just get rid of those danged kidney stones! 5160 2013-03-31 22:34:20 2013-04-01 05:34:20

No foul play in St. Cloud hospital incident
Updated On: May 12 2014 11:08:44 AM EDT
St. Cloud police on Monday said there was no foul play involved in an incident that was investigated as a possible abduction from a hospital.
The incident happened around 6 p.m. Sunday at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center.
According to police, a woman walked into the emergency room and asked for help.
Police said a man followed the woman, who appeared to be in distress, into the ER, grabbed her by the wrist and stated that she was drunk. The man then pulled the woman from the emergency room to the parking lot and put her in a beige or grey Nissan or Saturn SUV driven by another woman, police said.
Witnesses said the woman tried to get out of the SUV as it was driving away, according to police.
St. Cloud police located the couple, who are in a relationship, on Monday and said the woman was intoxicated when she went to the hospital seeking help for the man.
The man said he didn't want treatment and left the hospital with his girlfriend.
Police said there was no foul play and the case has been closed.

Don't have time for a day out at the spa? How about bringing the spa into your home?
Call a spalike master bath an antidote to today's 24-7 world, says Steve Neeley, owner of Serenity Kitchen & Bath in Fort Wayne.
He says his 8-year-old company has been busier than ever, in part because of requests for spa master baths.
People are on the go so much, and families are running kids here and there so much, that that (bathroom) time is the only time they get to themselves anymore, Neeley says, calling a spalike master a haven within the home.
Adds Cindy Friend, designer and owner of Cindy Friend Boutique in Covington Plaza: People want their master to feel like a place in their home where you can get away and relax and feel like you're at a spa or at a resort on vacation.
That said, what turns an ordinary, utilitarian master bath into a spa?
First, more space – or at least a different use of space, says Lou Salge, vice president of Four Seasons Design & Remodeling in Angola.
Usually, when they remodel, they want their master bath about three feet bigger in every direction, Salge says.
We (contractors) are usually looking for more space, either by converting adjacent rooms or closets or creating additional space with new construction.
But, Neeley counters, often extra room for more luxury can be found within an existing master's footprint.
What we're finding is we're taking out a lot of the big whirlpool tubs that people did back in the '80s and '90s and now get used as clothes hampers and people tend to have to dust them out because they don't use them much, he says.
Neeley says that space-gobbling platform surrounding an old, garden-style tub – or even an area with a shower-tub surround – can yield enough room for a spalike curbless walk-in or low-lip shower now in vogue.
The walk-in can be outfitted with an interior tile bench and one of a variety of showerhead styles – a ceiling-mounted rainfall type, a hand-held with an adjustable height mounting, or a more conventional fixed head. He's even installed his-and-hers showerheads – two identical fixtures side by side in the same shower.
More traditional showers can be made spa-like with a frameless, trackless glass door leading to a new stone-like ceramic or porcelain tile surround, Friend says.
I call it a show-off shower, she says. They (clients) like to have it look something like a piece of art. They want a glass door so you can see in and see all the beautiful tile work.
When budget allows, she says, both a shower and a trendy item called a soaking tub can fit in a revamped or expanded space.
Indeed, says Robin Yoder, showroom manager of Lee Supply Corp., a plumbing fixture company at 3420 Congressional Parkway, who calls the tubs one of that business's most popular items.
We are doing a lot more freestanding tubs. People think of the claw-footed kind, but they make them now with what we refer to as a pedestal foot as well. And there are products that have all different types of shapes, interesting ones, she says.
Some are enhancing the soaking solace of a tub with add-ons. For example, an air bath tub has a series of small air portals around the base of the tub, Yoder says.
You have heated air forced through them that gives you movement through the water, but it's not like a whirlpool tub for sore muscles. It's more based on relaxation – like you just had a deep-tissue massage, she explains.
Meanwhile, Kohler, the bath fixture manufacturer, recently introduced a soaking tub with a series of speakers in the sides. They play music that forms sonic vibrations that ripple through the water.
The total experience is to listen to it with your ears underwater, Yoder says.
But most people are looking for a design statement with a freestanding tub, Friend says.
It's more like a piece of furniture, so it's more visually appealing, she says. And you can put it on an angle, which you can't do with a regular tub surround.
Salge says Four Seasons almost never puts in a tub surround for a master bath. We haven't put in a garden tub in about four years, he says.
One feature that hasn't gone out of style in the new spa styling is the dual-sink vanity, says Anita Martin, designer with Country Mill Cabinet Co. in LaOtto, a maker of bathroom cabinetry. But vanities have gotten taller, she says.
Traditionally, they were right around 29 or 30 inches tall, and now they're about 4 or 5 inches taller than that. I think we're just physically larger, and we're finding that people want their bathrooms more kitchen-counter height.
While many searching for the spa look want something with modern, clean lines, a vanity that looks more like furniture, with legs or feet and a curved front, is also popular, Salge says.
Spa luxury also often means heated floors, which are all the rage right now, Salge says.
And layered lighting – can lighting for the ceiling, ambient or up-lighting from sconces or pendants, task lighting for the vanity and even under-vanity night-lights – sets a spa mood and is practical, he says.
The icing on the cake comes from a color scheme that can be a variation on the gray scale or earthy neutrals; soothing blues and greens; or white or cream, Yoder says.
The keys to a personal spadom come from a clean and uncluttered look and pared-down accessories, she says.
Folks are striving for relaxation or a Zen-like sensation, she says.
They look to their bathroom as a special place – not just to bathe or take a shower but to clear their thoughts and start fresh.

LAGRANGE State wildlife officials who hoped the Midwest's bitterly cold winter would eradicate a nuisance fish from a northern Indiana lake say the pest actually survived the winter in a large numbers.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says a mid-May survey of LaGrange County's 69-acre Royer Lake found hundreds of gizzard shad in the natural lake despite evidence that many of the fish had died over the winter.
Neil Ledet is the DNR's district biologist who covers several Indiana counties that border Ohio and Michigan. He's hoping the lake's bass population will keep its gizzard shad numbers in check.
Gizzard shad can overpopulate lakes and compete with popular sport fish. In large numbers they can also indirectly reduce water clarity by feeding on microscopic animals that normally eat algae.

Ecstasy Lyrics - Megadeth
Review The Song (2)
[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]
You live in a world of fantasy
You live in a web of deceit
You want it all including me
You like it all to be neat
I come to you when shadows fall
I leave as the dawn arrives
Hide the truth to deceive them all
How my good intention lies
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Secret meetings that we hide
Deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride
The cost of immorality
And we hide the truth to deceive them all
And the pain of what will never be
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy

It's not about drugs | Reviewer: Adam L | 1/11/09
It's about adultery, cheating on somebody. A sin of ecstasy that comes when shadows fall and always leaves when dawn arrives so that she may continue to silence suspicions and feed inhibitions.
but yes you are right, there is nothing describing the feeling of ecstasy in this song. Its mentioned to justify all of the other feelings caused by their secret deed.
personall it makes me think of someone I loved who had another man's baby. I never thought it would be too late but the pain this song is about is what we would feel, isn't it?
Mustaine witch | Reviewer: Dave Mustaine | 12/16/08
I belive Mustaine always is doing magics by his lyrics,for example in this song you feel a sad and cold mood and many other things that remind you misery,so you will never use ecstasy!I believe he is a psychologist

CPS officials talking to prospective buyer for headquarters
By Lauren FitzPatrick and Fran Spielman Staff Reporters May 21, 2014 1:22PM
Updated: May 21, 2014 5:46PM
Chicago Public Schools confirmed it's in talks with an interested buyer for its headquarters at 125 S. Clark St., and according to the alderman, a developer wants to convert it into residential units.
District spokesman Joel Hood said CPS is discussing a potential sale with Marc Realty Residential, but said the proceedings are in their early stages.
CPS began soliciting bids in January for the 19-story building. Hood would not comment on the price. When CPS bought the building in 1998 from ComEd, it paid $8.3 million, according to the district.
CPS' central office staffers are moving from the Clark Street building to the first three floors of 1 N. Dearborn, which formerly housed the Sears' Loop store. Officials have said the number of staffers has decreased in recent years, requiring less space. They project the move should save some $60 million over 15 years in costs, such as energy and upkeep. That savings allows for an added $5 million to purchase and assemble office furniture for the new space, as well as $400,000 in moving costs.
Marc Realty Residential could not be reached for comment. The firm did not return a phone message for comment.
Ald. Brendon Reilly (42nd) said he's spoken with the developer, who'd like to convert it into apartments.
"I think that's an appropriate use of that building but we don't have a lot of detail about how it's programmed, how many units…So whatever proposal comes forward, that will be vetted with the community, but generally I think conceptually it would make sense for that block.
"There's tremendous demand for residential units in the Loop," Reilly said. "People want to have a short walk to work so from that perspective it's an excellent location."

Liam Hemsworth has revealed that he really had to go hungry for his role in The Hunger Games.
The Australian actor admitted it wasn't easy for him to lose weight to play impoverished teenager Gale Hawthorne in the first big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novels, which also stars Jennifer Lawrence.
"My character lives in District 12, he's living in a depression. So he's not eating a lot - I lost quite a bit of weight for the role," he said at the film's London premiere.
But he added: "I find it much easier to gain weight than to lose weight. It's tough not eating."
The 22-year-old had previously joked that his elder brother Chris, who starred in Thor, teased him about the weight loss, telling Access Hollywood:
"My brother Chris texted me, saying, 'Hunger Games, not eating games'."

Cars have been king of Loop streets for so long, it's easy to forget there's any other way to get around.
The opening Friday of the Loop's first protected bicycle lane is a reminder there's a better way to design the city's transportation system. We hope cyclists turn out in sufficient numbers to encourage the construction of even more bike lanes through the metropolis — and that they pilot their two-wheelers responsibly.
The new two-way bike lane — replacing pavement formerly used by motor vehicles — runs along Dearborn Street for 1.15 miles, from Kinzie to Polk. It includes specialized traffic signals and turn lanes.
Unlike older bike lanes, a protected bike lane employs physical barriers to separate bikes from cars.
On Friday afternoon, a smattering of cyclists already were using it, despite its newness and the December chill.
A good bike system is heathy for a city, attracting new residents and getting some cars off the streets. Mayor Rahm Emanuel believes that bicycle lanes are important to Chicago's quality of life and we agree with him.
The Chicago Department of Transportation has opened about 30 miles of bike lanes across the city throughout the year, and nine miles of older bicycle lanes have been repainted. Emanuel wants 100 miles of bicycle lanes built during his term.
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey found that 71 percent of Americans would like to bike more, but fewer than half feel their community is safe for bikes. Protected bike lanes address that. A recent study in the American Journal of Public Health found the risk of injury is 89 percent less on protected lanes than on streets with no bicycle infrastructure.
Bicyclists used to weaving their way through traffic wherever they see an opening will have to adjust their behavior now that they have their own lanes. The days of the Wild West are over. If cyclists don't adapt, it will be up to the city to enforce traffic rules.
As for motorists, many will feel miffed about sharing roadways with increasing numbers of cyclists.
But as the bike networks improve, they can leave the car at home and ride a bike instead.

Fogo de Chao
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has been to the new Fogo de Chao. I have plans to go there Thursday night and I would love to get a little insight.
I have been there several times (in other cities)not yet to this one, but they are all the same. The little cheese bread served at the table is so good! As far as the food, the salad bar has a wonderful selection, more gourmet-ish type than a typical salad bar. I love the red cherry peppers on it & selection of cheeses. As for the meat- they will walk by with different choices- I highly recommend looking at the "menu" of meats- you can request any that you read about & they will happily bring it for you. Otherwise, you will only try what happens to walk by your table. Enjoy!
re: tilemaker
I think it's worth the price- as it's an experience. The meat is not as great as a top steak house, but still very good & you get to try such a variety, and can pick & choose the cuts you like. Some do tend to be salty- I try to always ask for a center piece, not the end where the seasoning is. Again- they will always do as you request in my experiences. And I think the "salad bar" is great.
My suggestion is to go at lunch as the portions are basically the same at half the price AND minimize your time at the salad bar so you can enjoy the meats.
You can ask any server, and they will gladly steer a gaucho with any meat your way. I am not sure which cuts do no show up at lunch, but it is certainly a reasonably priced dinner compared to most steak houses.
The salad bar is a huge temptation (especially the black beans and rice)as well as the fried bananas and mashed potato / polenta sides. It is the pure Atkins dieters who will get the best bang for the buck here.
I especially like the Picanha, bottom sirloin, beef ribs, pork ribs, and linguica (pork sausage.) The bacon-wrapped filet and lamb chops are also good, as are the little chicken legs.
I understand the only seasonings they use are sea salt and garlic. The wood does most of the flavoring. As with any food, don't add salt until you've tasted something.
I'm so glad they came to Philly. I have been eating at the Houston shop for years on business trips, and I was excited they opened in Washington DC !!!
I can cook a good enough dry-aged steak on charcoal in my backyard that Morton's and Ruth's Chris are not that big a treat. Fogo de Chao, you just can't duplicate at at home !!
Does anyone know if they offer a "sides & salad bar only" option to any vegetarians in the group? I realize that the concept is one of the least veg-friendly out there, but it would be nice of them to offer the option.
ooooh, the last paragraph on their menu section sounds like i could make a meal of it alone!: The traditional side dishes of warm cheese bread, fried bananas, crispy hot polenta and seasoned mashed potatoes are automatically brought to each table and replenished throughout the meal. The restaurant's award-winning wine list, traditional Brazilian beverages, and a variety of decadent desserts complement the experience. ( http://www.fogodechao.com/dining.htm)
... but you are right, jugglerdave, as a vegetarian reading the rest of the menu, i'm a bit turned off! :)
re: rabidog
rabidog, you can see per the following post that The Bride has been proactive in facilitating a visit for a combination of hungry carnivore and vegetarian patrons, such as JugglerDave and spouse...
re: Bride of the Juggler
yes, I've been with people who opted for salad bar only (and sides are always included at the table) All have been very pleased as it is a great fresh selection. I have been to both Atlanta & DC locations a few times- have always had such friendly staff!
That would be one hell of a deal if the salad bar is only twenty bucks. Even a non-vegetarian could make a meal of the smoked salmon, prosciutto etc. They have lovely little cornichons, hearts of palm, marinated asparagus. mushrooms, cheeses, the HOTTEST jalapeños I have ever tasted ...
If I didn't love meat so much, I'd do that in a second. Among those delicacies and the non-stop sides, nobody would go home hungry.
My one favorite piece of advice is to always order the Papaya creme for dessert, as it aids in digesting meat .. Adolph's meat tenderizer is principally Papaya enzyme.
>That would be one hell of a deal if the salad bar is only twenty bucks. Even a non-vegetarian could make a meal of the smoked salmon, prosciutto etc. <
Yes, it's $19.95 at lunch or dinner! I haven't eaten therr but plan to do at lunch soon. Heck, for us meat folks it's only $5.00 more for the meat. And I was told it's same menu L&D but Lunch only M-F. And portions can't be smaller.
As for Dinner, isn't Samba on Girard still open? We went there with a dining group a few years ago, Dinner was $25.00. MUCH smaller salad bar and no atmosphere.
BTW, no one mentioned the HUGE wine case at Fogo de Chao. I'm sure I won't be drinking a lot - no business account - and $57.00 dinner tab (incl tax and tip) but I was impressed by it's size!
Steve R
I have never been to Samba, or Picanha on Castor.. I have meant to try both, but when I heard Fogo was opening I guess I lost the sense of urgency.
I usually start with a couple of Caiparinhas, but since I'm usually there on business, I spring for a couple bottles of Chilean Malbecs which are usually a good bargain. They have certainly gotten better in the past two years.
^ i've been to samba once, but for the nightclub (real salsa dancing) part of it. i've noticed they are not often open for dinner, the hours aren't posted outside (that i've seen) and i can't find a website for them. if i can find any more info i'll post it. samba is at 7th and girard.
I would like to go, but the price $44.50 for dinner turns me off. I get up to Newark, NJ occasionally and just had dinner at Iberia, a rodizio... all the beef, sausage, chicken, pork that you could possibly eat, plus potatoes, rice&beans, and a vegtable (sauteed spinach??) for $20
I went for lunch yesterday. $24.00 / person and the same basic meal as dinner. The only thing I saw missing was black beans and rice at the salad bar, and maybe one or two cuts of meat. All the favorites were there (bottom sirloin, Pincanha, and Parmesan-encrusted Pork Tenderloin.) The new Ancho (Rib Eye) is a welcome addition. I love how each meat has it's own taste and texture.
It was great, and of the wine list a $32 bottle of Argentine Malbec worked just fine.
Actually, the experience was much better than I typically had in Houston. Maybe it's because I was there with just one other guy, but the gauchos paid attention to the red and green sides, and didn't bother us when our plates were still full.
A $20.00 Rodizio almost seems worth taking a ride to Newark, though ...

Global Programs or "vertical funds" focus "vertically" on specific issues or themes, in contrast with the "horizontal" approach of the country-based model of aid.While the first major global program, the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), was established 35 years ago, the current "boom" in vertical funds started in earnest when several large such funds were created in the late 1990s. "Verticalization" or earmarking of ODA can also be seen in bilateral assistance programs, such as the U.S. government's PEPFAR.
Vertical funds may lead to an increase in the importance of the specific interventions they support in the overall financing for a given country. For example, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tubrculosis and Malaria has increased the weight of infectious disease control in total aid for the health sector, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The effectiveness and sustainability of global programs will ultimately rest on the presence of complementary sector-level and country-level policies. Back to main Aid Architecture page.
