- What a find!FoodieDined on 11/22/2014The restaurant was quite a find. We had heard about the restaurant from a friend and really enjoyed it. Out server was Judy and she was awesome. The food was wonderful. We ordered the scotch eggs, Bridies, and fish and chips. They were all wonderful. Bangers and Smash were great. The Pasty was outstanding! There was 8 of us in our party and Judy treated us like family. The only issue was the steak came out rather cold, they replaced it with another and comped the meal, so my friend was happy with the outcome. All in all a wonderful place and we will try and return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Authentic PubcathyzoeDined on 11/9/2014The atmosphere made me feel like I was in a pub in Europe. The authentic Scottish food was great. My son enjoyed the extensive drink list.Special Features:
- wonderful brunchjabcota94Dined on 11/2/2014What a wonderful brunch experience! Would highly recommend this to others. Will be coming again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will not returnOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/25/2014After being seated, we were left at our table for 15 minutes with no one coming...until we asked for a waiter. The food was only fair. Will not return
- Justin bbobsyouruncleDined on 10/25/2014The Scottish arms is a wonderful pub with 5 star food and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scottish Fare with FlareSTLFoodieDined on 10/23/2014I had been to the Scottish Arms before, but my husband (a huge whisky/whiskey fan) had never been. It was a Thursday night and he remembered that I mentioned it once before. We walked in and the bar is classic in Scottish style. Having been to Scotland, we felt like we were stepping into a pub off of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The bar area has high tops and tow tops where I have not eaten myself; I would love to return just to have a drink in that atmosphere. Beyond that is the dining room and we sat at a table in near the window. Our waitress was prompt and let my husband know the specials on whisky for the evening. We ordered Haggis Fritters a lamb gyro sandwich and salmon sandwich all good. However real Scottish Haggis is better!Special Features:
- You need to visitfisch490Dined on 10/20/2014This place is great - you get value for your money. Had a couple of picky eaters in the group and they eat all of their food. Had fish and chips - the fish just melted in your mouth. The batter was just like you get in England (I know as I am English). The waitress we had was attentive to our needs and was always available. I would recommend this place to anyone, whether you want a romantic dinner or like we did had a large party for a celebration.Special Features:
- Great again!highlanderDined on 10/18/2014We returned to The Scottish Arms because of the food, service and great ambiance. It's just a great place to go whether you be in the bar area or a cozy booth. Sure to return again.Special Features:
- RootieVIPDined on 10/11/2014Probably the best variety at the bar in St. Louis.Special Features:
- First TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014This was our first time here. Enjoyed ourselves trying things on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scottish Arms - used to be betterELMjrDined on 9/28/2014Took my 81 year old mother to the infamous Sunday brunch for the first time. She liked it - but everything wasn't nearly as good as previous visits. Our waitress was great - however she didn't have a quilt. And by the end of the meal her service deteriorated. Took a while to get the check, then for her to take my payment. My usual & favorite is the salmon benedict. This time the eggs were to running - not poached (enough?). The salmon was very good, however the bed of mixed greens were limp and smashed underneath. Just sloppy preparation. Since it is a 30 second walk from where I live, and I like supporting neighborhood establishments - I will try it again. They just need to pay attention to details and take care with guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceUSAFMTUHawgDined on 9/27/2014Visited Scottish Arms on a Saturday night. Our server was very friendly and our food was delivered very promptly. Everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the Highland Gathering appetizer, the Shepherds Pasty, and the Fish & Chips. The fish portion was huge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TOMMYMACDined on 9/25/2014THE EXPERIENCE OF DINING AT THE SCOTTISH ARMS WAS OUTSTANDING, FROM THE AMBIENCE AND MENU TO ALISSA THE SERVER WHO ATTENDED TO OUR EVERY NEED WITHOUT BEING OVERBEARING, A TRUE AMBASSADOR TO THE SUCCESS OF HER EMPLOYER!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Practically PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014I always love eating at the Arms when I'm in the neighborhood. I've never had a bad experience here.Special Features:
- Cradled in The Scottish ArmsfoodiewannabeDined on 9/8/2014Went to The Scottish Arms for a business dinner which included out-of-towners and locals. Selected this venue based on the location and other reviews, and wasn't at all disappointed. Our server was patient, helpful and attentive. The Scotch eggs were fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their food (arctic char special, fish & chips, bangers & smash and burger), and portions were so large that several of us didn't make the "clean plate" club. No one indulged in the extensive scotch list, but we we pleased with the selection of wine and beer. After a lovely evening on the patio, we all agreed we would go back to try other dishes, and I would be eager to try brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A birthday celebrationItalyboundDined on 8/21/2014The Scottish Arms is a great place to take someone to that's never been there before. There were four in our party and we had a reservation and there was no issue being seated. The staff was friendly and quite attentive. Frank, our waiter, was well-informed on the dishes(brand new menu), and made some excellent recommendations. We had plenty of questions about our food, the ingredients, and the overall preparation of certain dishes. Always wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Futbol2014Dined on 8/21/2014Scottish Arms was terrific. We had great service and the food is terrific. We had the lamb shanks for dinner and the haggis and scottish eggs for appetizers. They were all outstanding and they have a great selection of craft beers and fine malt scotch. All in a comfortable and lively settingSpecial Features:
- jahllhDined on 8/15/2014Great fun! Scotch eggs are wonderful. Fish and chips crispy but moist inside.Special Features:
- razbazDined on 8/3/2014When you have an overcoming urge to feel like you are at a neighborhood pub somewhere in the British Isles - this is the place. And if you are looking for a fry up - this brunch delivers. Be sure to try their Scotch egg - perfect. Fresh squeezed orange juice for their mimosas, too! Don't stop at Brunch; we have been there for dinner as well and the food is always delicious.Special Features:
- Excellent Scottish cuisine!luvdecentfoodDined on 8/2/2014Had a wonderful experience at The Scottish Arms Restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri! The server was very attentive and did a fantastic job explaining the various entrees and making recommendations. I would strongly recommend this gem to anyone looking for good Scottish or Irish fare. Hopefully will be visiting on Burns Night, when I've been told they make a "proper haggis"!Special Features:
- DJLCometDined on 8/1/2014In the past I have really loved this restaurant. The Scotch Eggs appetizer was excellent, as always. The "pasty" that seems to have replace the Shepherd's pie, was not as good as the pie had been, so I was somewhat disappointed with my entree. Next time, I will order something else. The service, was good, not great, but good, on a busy Friday night.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 160 reviews are from the Scottish Arms reviews archive.
- Blown awayJamesWatsonVIPDined on 7/27/2014Went on a whim to get haddock and chips. Ended up with the evening's sous vide rabbit special and a turbot roulade. Flavor and presentation were outstanding. Definitely not just a place for pub grub. Service was impeccable.Special Features:
- Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/21/2014I am a big fan of pub food and this is as good as it gets. Great food, service, and ambience. I will return to try more great menu selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Fish and Chips in townKeithDined on 7/19/2014If you want fish and chips, this is your place. The serving is generous and fried to perfection. We should have started with a lighter appetizer to avoid that over-stuffed feeling but, hey, the fish and chips were so good we could not stop eating them. If you don't want fried food, I recommend the pasty. The crust was delicious and the lamb was quiet tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scottish cuisine in STLDiStefanoDined on 7/13/2014We found this place on accident while googling restaurants in STL downtown and forest park. My husband's mom is from Scotland so we thought we would try it out. He had spent time on various occasions there. Our reaction was mediocre. The food wasn't extraordinary but it was good to try. The service was good, forgetting g to bring water sometimes. Waiter was very knowledgeable. Menu seemed a little lacking in Scottish cuisine. We would go back with others as a celebration. We also would recommend friends try it. Bar menu was great.Special Features:
- A bad batchMizroseDined on 6/30/2014Nice portion of mussels but many of the ones I ate were bad and I left most on the plate. This is the third time I have been there and twice they did not have their much touted Duck Proscuitto. We will most likely not go again.Special Features:
- JacksonJacksonDined on 6/21/2014We quite enjoyed the Scottish Arms. The restaurant is housed in an older building near the Central West End, giving it a really cool, historic vibe. It's one of the more unique restaurants in St. Louis, with a differentiated, quality menu and overall experience. Our friends from the U.K. raved about the fish & chips. The quality of the food and the presentation was very good. Highly recommended for a quality, fun evening of non-chain dining. Fine establishment with great character.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkaypatcusDined on 6/6/2014The food at the Scottish Arms was okay - not wonderful. Especially the "Smoked Salmon Profiteroles" appetizer - no hint of salmon - I even asked where it was and the waitress told me it was "incorporated into the dough for the pastry." When I looked closely, the was a speck of pink on one of them, but no flavor at all! The waitress Wendy was great though.Special Features:
- Love the haggis fritters!MidwestGirl2Dined on 5/23/2014Don't be afraid to try the haggis! It's much better than you'd ever imagine! We shared a platter of appetizers for starters, and then when my fish n chips arrived, I was worried that I'd have to force myself to eat; as I was no longer very hungry. However, the fish n chips, as well as the sautéed peas, were so good that I ended up finishing the huge serving and walking out of the restaurant stuffed to the gills! This was our second trip to the Scottish Arms and we're making it a monthly destination!Special Features:
- Dinner with friendsmatsciDined on 5/21/2014One of my friends recommended we meet at Scottish Arms for dinner when I was in St. Louis. It was a good choice. The food was well prepared and tasty. My only complaint was that the fish dish that I ordered came with no sides like the other entrees. Surprising, especially as it cost a significant percentage more than the other menu items.Special Features:
- Perfect Place to CelebrateOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/16/2014The Ambiance was great, the service was great, the food was great, the server even picked out 3 different tours of scotch for us. He new his scotch! It was a great way to celebrate my friends graduation at WashU!Special Features:
- great experiencerski1804Dined on 5/16/2014Good food. The bartender was very knowledgeable. Big whiskey selection. Staff very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work dinnerSabinaDined on 5/12/2014My coworkers and I went here for a dinner, and the waiter was very attentive. However, the seating was somewhat awkward for a group of 8 in a corner. They were also out of some European beers on their menu, but the waiter was quick to suggest appropriate alternatives. The prices were reasonable, and we did not leave hungry.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun meal at Scottish ArmsLuv2eatVIPDined on 5/11/2014Had a very nice meal on the patio at Scottish Arms. They have a great scotch menu and interesting dinner menu. Loved the lamb burger. My only surprise was how many people were allowed to smoke on the patio. I thought smoking in restaurants was banned in St. Louis. All though I could smell the smoke as the people next to me were not smoking, I would have been very upset to have smoke blowing in my face if I were close to one of the many smoking tables. I would definitely return as the place was a nice surprise.Special Features:
- Lovely Urban Gaelic spotguzzlingourmandDined on 5/11/2014Scottish Arms has an open atmosphere, but much of the seating still allows good intimacy. The Scotch list and server knowledge is awesome and the presentation of these potables is delightful. Nice touch with the traditional Celtic dishes: they actually have two ways of making the haggis enjoyable. How can you not dig waters in kilts, or the tortuous knotting of our server's tie? Some guys were in the next room, singing traditional Scottish songs for tips (unamplified, thank heaven). Really cool. Been here twice and enjoyed it every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Patio and Good ServiceTennismomDined on 5/11/2014I only ate at the Scottish Arms one time when I came to St. Louis from out of town. We tried it for the first time on Sunday so I can't comment yet on many of the food items. However, we really enjoyed the patio dining. We arrived earlier than our reservation time and had our dog with us since are traveling. Nevertheless, the staff went out of its way to accommodate us. In addition, the waiter was really friendly and polite. The beer and wine selection are excellent. I also enjoyed the French press coffee and my husband enjoyed his cocktail from the Bloody Mary bar. We returned on Monday for cocktails on the patio. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OutingSudsandBudsDined on 5/9/2014First of all, the staff is on their toes and knows all about anything on the menu, including the scotch and alcohol menus. They were very able and willing to recommend items based on our experiences and preferences. Friendly, but non-intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch on the patioLetseatoutsideDined on 5/4/2014We ate brunch on the patio the food was excellent & the endless homemade mimosas were plenty & delicious. They were really busy & still managed to give my group attention & a great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scottish Arms Before Fox TheatreSnirtDined on 5/3/2014I took my girlfriend to the Scottish Arms for her 23rd birthday. We drove down from Springfield. I looked for a restraint near the Fox because we were going to see Joseph that night. My brother who lives in St. Louis said he had heard good things about your restaurant. I checked out the online menu and the variety seemed nice and I was interested in the extensive scotch list. I didn't have any but you seemed to have a good variety of beers on draught as well. Overall, it was a great time and the service was nice. I plan on coming back and would recommend it to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Fish & ChipsJimGDined on 5/3/2014Love Scottish Arms for the wide variety of Scotch whiskies and Scottish specialty foods. By far the best item on the menu is their Fish & Chips.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Patrick Dapolito is led from York County Superior Court in Alfred in 2010 after his initial appearance on charges he killed his wife, Kelly Winslow, in their Limington home.
ALFRED, Maine — A Limington man who told police he accidentally shot his wife after a night of drug use before changing his story to put the blame on drug dealers has been convicted of murder.
Jurors in York County Superior Court returned the guilty verdict against Patrick Dapolito in the killing of Kelly Winslow, who was shot in the head in their home.
Dapolito changed his story from calling it an accidental shooting to put the blame on drug dealers who allegedly killed her in retribution in March 2010.
The Portland Press Herald quotes prosecutors as saying Dapolito changed his story because evidence didn't match his story. Court documents showed Dapolito initially told police that he had a gun in his hand and had no idea how it went off.

Faith buys a quilt made by recently deceased Matilda Prescott. She then guesses that the quilt's pattern may form a map to a secret gold cache hidden at the quilter's home.
Everyone in Dark Hollow, Tennesee, knew that old Nora Bonesteel had "the Sight." So naturally she was the first to know about the murder-suicide. Four members of the Underhill family lay dead on a run-down farm, and the two children who survived had no one left. Only the minister's wife, Laura Bruce, was willing to be their guardian. The grisly case was supposed to be "open and shut," but it bothered Sheriff Spencer Arrowood. He had this worried feeling that the bad things were far from over at the Underhill's farm. And he would feel a lot worse if he knew what else old Nora saw: tragedy for Laura Bruce, an elderly man, and a young mother...and the kind of dying that would test the courage of the living and a sheriff's insights into country ways and hearts.
This magical, memorable novel explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad. It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harleyville, Kansas, where crops are burning up and there's not a job to be found. For one young farm wife, the highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of locals dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their well-honed quilting skills to good use.
Quilts fill this narrative re-creation of the history of the West from the time of the early pioneers to the present day. The purpose of quilts and the art of quilting provide a window into the lives of women, their friendships, and their sorrows.
The quilts found in Helen's house help bring the three generations of Henry women together. Helen and Nancy tell the stories of their childhoods and early years of marriage with the discovery of each quilt. It's a side that Tessa has never seen of each woman and it changes her perspective of both of them.

If you're a Hollywood star, your childhood friends usually have a limited number of roles available to play. They can be a loyal sidekick, your crew's comical mascot, or maybe the personal assistant who will eventually take you down in a bloodless celebrity coup.
But for a lucky few stars, the people they grew up with became celebrities themselves, with their own fans, their own love interests and their own trending topics.
It must be a welcome surprise. After all, it's lonely at the top, but it's a little less lonely when your childhood friends are there, too.
In honor of International Friendship Day – commonly celebrated on the first Sunday in August – we're rounding up the celeb pairs who have known each other since before they were famous.

We spend hours erratically swiping left on a series of interchangeable Tinder matches; Leo travels the world on the arm of the world's most gorgeous models. We are lucky if our coworkers like our Instagrams every once in a while; Leo collaborates with visionary directors like Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan.
And while we're spending our summers working 9 to 5 in an air-conditioned office somewhere, DiCaprio frolics shirtless with a Super Soaker, looking like a #bestlife version of Howard Hughes at the end of The Aviator.

It's no secret Leonardo DiCaprio is a master of seducing gorgeous models (Gisele Bündchen, Bar Rafaeli, Anne Vyalitsyna, Erin Heatherton, Toni Garrn, and more).
But exactly how has the actor garnered such an enviable list of beautiful women that would make even the most confident of men jealous? After seeing DiCaprio work his magic with a stunning brunette at the Gotha Club in Cannes on May 19, we're pretty sure we've figured out the playboy's foolproof plan to wooing any woman on the planet.

New Year's Resolutions shouldn't be all about yoga classes and drinking lots of green gloop. Here at Grazia Daily we believe in fashion resolutions too - whether that is to vow to take more style risks or to finally invest rather than splurge. Well who better to turn to for style tips than the master of cool, Alexa Chung?
For our Resort Big Fashion Issue back in November, our cover star Alexa Chung starred in a beautiful New York fashion shoot, did fashion jury on her own style and answered your questions. But we have even more words of Chung wisdom for you, as the style queen shared with us her 7 tips for this season. Some serious and some, well, not so serious. Read below to find out the pieces Alexa can't get out of her mind...
1. 'A little cream polka-dot scarf, although I don't know where that exists. Almost like a cravat, but not. Sounds terrible, but it's going to be OK.'
2. 'Cropped jumpers with high-waisted jeans. Because in winter, it's hard to look vaguely nice, but you could do this. Or a lovely high skirt with a cropped jumper.'
3. 'I just designed a really good bra in my head. Black see-through triangles, with a nose over your nipples, and two cat faces. Lol.'
4. 'I like what Rihanna is doing with those statement necklaces with a T-shirt and jeans. That looks good, doesn't it? One of those.'
5. 'I keep thinking about tights that Dita Von Teese might wear: black with the semi-seam up the back. Is that going to be a thing? I keep thinking about them. I'm not going to wear them, they just keep popping into my mind.'
6. 'Nail colour is important. Navy blue. I think that would be dead nice for man hands.'
7. 'Capes: are very important. They can be a nightmare weather wise. But capes.'

Ex-prison chief denies knowledge about Brotherhood link to jailbreak
By Wael Ahmed, Wednesday, April 23, 2014
CAIRO – A former head of Egypt's Prison Authority on Wednesday denied his knowledge of any link between Muslim Brotherhood leaders and a mass jailbreak in 2011.
Mohamed Naguib, the former chief of the Prison Authority during the 2011 revolution that ousted long-serving president Hosni Mubarak, said that some Muslim Brotherhood members had been jailed in the Wadi Al-Natrun Prison in the Nile Delta.
"They had been assisted to escape," Naguib testified during the trial of ousted president Mohamed Morsi and others on jailbreak charges.
"I don't know whether they have any link to the jailbreak or not," he added.
Morsi and 130 co-defendants are accused of involvement in the mass jailbreak during the revolution.
The ousted president and 35 co-defendants face charges of "conspiring" with Palestinian group Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah to carry out "terrorist acts" inside Egypt.
Naguib said the northeastern Cairo Abu Zaabal Prison was the first to be attacked during the revolution by a group of people from Sinai, who also stormed into the Wadi Al-Natrun Prison.
"There were political prisoners in the attacked prisons," he testified.
Naguid cited the testimony of some prisoners, who said that the attackers spoke a non-Egyptian Bedouin dialect.
Meanwhile, former interior minister Mahmoud Wagdi, who took over following Mubarak's ouster, said he learned that the attackers had crossed into Egypt from the Gaza Strip through a network of border tunnels.

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.

The Honda Dominator is the motorcycle that defined the 'urban trailie' craze of the Nineties.

Sin city baby! This is where it all goes down! So we left Hollywood and headed to Vegas. A girls' trip is just that -- girls hanging out, shopping, partying, and enjoying cocktails are definitely all in the mix. Pure innocent fun!
I arrived in Vegas around 10pm after a long day of work. I was told the plan was to head to a strip club, ride a bull, and have a sex toy party -- none of which I would normally do on a girls trip! I came on this trip, so I was willing to do whatever; as long as it didn't involve doing drugs, having sex, or breaking the law, I was cool! So I got dressed and headed out on the town with the girls.
Once we were in the limo, Porsha said loud and clear that Kordell would NOT be happy if she went to a strip club and that he had already LET her go from Cali to LA! (Which is around the block I guess, LOL!) Now let me break it down to you this way -- I have been to strip clubs and worked in one when I was in my early twenties. Now I have moved on too much bigger and better things! I really like Porsha, and even feel like a big sister to her. If Porsha didn't want to go to the strip club herself, that's fine! The message I think we all were trying to send to her was to use your own brain and let this be your decision. We've all been around her and heard her say things that sound like she's being controlled. Maybe Kordell feels the need to control her, because he knows what he's working with.

- Studio: Focus Features
- Release Date: Dec 22, 2010
- Starring: Elle Fanning, Stephen Dorff
- Summary: You have probably seen him in the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo from his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau. Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where he is in life and confront the question that we all must: which path in life will you take? (Focus Features)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 27 out of 40
Mixed: 8 out of 40
Negative: 5 out of 40
A fascinating, mature, beautifully crafted work of art, from a director who continues to surprise us. Sofia Coppola has absorbed the Italian avant-garde more completely than her father ever did, and has made a film about celebrity in the vein of Antonioni and Bertolucci, a film about Hollywood in which she turns her back on it, possibly forever.
A distinctly European exercise in observational nuance and tonal restraint in which Coppola stretches static images to the breaking point.
The ever-perceptive writer-director further hones her gifts for ruefully funny observation and understated melancholy with this low-key portrait of a burned-out screen actor.
A clearly personal effort, Somewhere demonstrates Coppola's featherweight touch with big subjects like identity and human connection.
I can't say why Coppola wanted to spend time with this man. It's like following someone on Twitter who fails to generate many compelling tweets.
The latest calcified bore by Sofia Coppola is less pretentious than "Marie Antoinette" but every bit as inertly stupefying as "Lost in Translation."
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 26

Negative: 9 out of 26
Feb 4, 2012Somewhere is an arthouse film that reminds us of great eras in smaller films, the Italian and French films of the 60s and even quite a few early 90s indie movies. Each shot and scene is put together with exquisite details and nice touches, it makes for a movie that can be seen more than once. Stephen Dorff plays an enigmatic, working cool actor shacked up in LA's Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip. He bangs models, wannabe actresses and is a bit of a rocking guy. Emotionally empty and isolated, he finds solace in his 11 year old daughter played by a very talented Elle Fanning. The movie produces a great father and daughter relationship, tragic by design and circumstance, a love story that has nowhere to go. I really thought Dorff was an underrated, naturally cool and talented actor before. And Sofia Coppola creates a collage of memorable imagery, unusual sensitivity and an understated depth to Dorff that really shines. I liked this film more than Lost In Translation. The music is great too.… Expand
Aug 25, 2013Stephen Dorff cuts a lonely and passive individual in 'Somewhere', playing an actor called Johnny Marco, a successful man in the business, but ten minutes into the film we realise the recluse and empty life that Johnny leads, pole dance after pole dance, party after party, he never seems to be mentally present in any of these situations to the point where it's noticeable that he finds nothing fulfilling or satisfying, something no amount of money, sex or drugs can fix. The only vice for his seemingly empty life is his eleven year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning), who is in adversary left in the care of her father. Here we see the true talents of writer and director Sofia Coppola in full swing, she creates characters who instantly command your attention and who are full of intrigue, it's easy to get the impression that Cleo is aware of her fathers lifestyle, but loves him all the same, Johnny is a man who doesn't seem ungrateful for his life and success, but one who simply doesn't get the fulfilment that others would in the same field. He stays indefinitely at the popular Chateau Marmont, a place for the Hollywood bigwigs attempting to hideaway from the world.
The intriguing elements of the film come from the character of Johnny, his routine life of answering the phone and doing as his agent tells him, talk to the press, pick up awards and have his face moulded, a scene which truly outlines this mans feelings, he sits in silence while the mould dries and breathes heavily, we don't need to see his face to know what is going on in his head.
The film doesn't necessarily have a beginning, middle and end flow, it's told a sort of day in the life of scenario where we sit back and observe a lifestyle that is endless, but one devoid of anything meaningful, the only vice being blood.
The title pertains to everything that we witness throughout the film, a man in between lifestyles, personalities and mental stability, he isn't anywhere concrete, therefore he is somewhere in between it all.
Sofia Coppola has an intriguing and elegant style of filming, she puts on screen exactly what see wants us to see, and like her other masterful 'Lost In Translation', we have a similar character in Stephen Dorff to to Bill Murray, a man with everything but also cut away from life and letting it all pass him by.
An excellent film that studies the meaning of family, personality, depression but mainly the need of human interaction and meaningful relationships, through the simplest of actions and time spent together.… Expand
Aug 11, 2011This is Hollywood without glamour. Ferrari lacks charm; Beverly Hills lacks charm; a movie star lacks charm. Sofia Coppola made a film that does not prime for beauty (lacks charm), as Marie Antoinette did, but which is dense in its criticism of the contemporary American cinema. The only spasm of enthusiasm comes, momentarily, when the protagonist is in Milan - indeed, there's La Dolce Vita. But in Hollywood one finds nothing except the emptiness of La Vida Loca.… Expand
Dec 30, 2010Sometimes empty is just empty. What Gertrude Stein said about Oakland can also apply to Somewhere: "There is no there there."Lliked Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation (though it did not deserve an oscar...can we get that back please).

Looking for restaurant advice in NYC
- l
- LShepSmith Sep 17, 2010 10:44 AM
Hi New York food lovers. We are looking for some restaurant advice for our upcoming visit. We live in Charlotte, NC and haven't been to NYC is over 10 years (horrors!). We always use our NY visits to dive into foods we absolutely cannot get at home.
I've been doing searches on TripAdvisor...but also wanted to through this out to the chowhounds for some additional "sound" advice. Here are the types of cuisines we are looking for and some recommendations that I found on TripAdvisor. Can you guys confirm, deny or recommend other options for these catagories? By the way, we will be staying in the Time Square area. We also know our way around the subway system pretty well.
Afghan (Bamiyan on 3rd Avenue)?
Middle Eastern (Turkish Kitchen on 3rd Avenue, Nomad on 2nd Avenue ilili on 5th Avenue, Taboon on 10th Avenue)?
Russian (Firebirds)?
Vietnamese (Siagon Grill on Amsterdam Avenue or Pho Viet Huong on Mulberry)?
Also, I've heard a lot about 9th Avenue and the wide variety of international cuisines offered....any top 3 suggestions for this area?
Thanks so much for your wise words of wisdom!
Nha Hang Pho Viet Huong
73 Mulberry St, New York, NY 10013
773 10th Avenue, New York, NY 10019
re: gutsofsteel
Totally concur with GoS re: Firebird. Terrible food. Stay away from it.
As re 9th avenue, there are 2 different Afghan spots in that area; Ariana Afghan and Afghan Kebab House. I have to admit I haven't tried out either but have heard they are both pretty decent picks. My husband liked Ariana Afghan House when he tried it out.
Great picks along/near 9th Avenue include Kyotofu (Japanese) and Azuri Cafe; Zigolinis Pizza is good for the area though not as good as some spots downtown.
By Middle Eastern, what specific cuisine are you looking for? There are many different types of Middle Eastern cuisine to be found, each with representations both in Manhattan and the outer boroughs. If you make your request more specific it may help people steer you in the right direction.
705 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019

Afghan Kebab House

re: rrems
Ditto about Saigon Grill. They were really convenient for speedy delivery when I lived on the UWS. But their food isn't so hot. Pho Viet Huong is a much better choice.
I consult with the tripadvisor forums when I'm researching things to do. But Chowhound is a ton better for food advice. If you use the search feature on the upper right hand corner of the screen, you'll find tons of info on this board for the things you've asked about.
Nha Hang Pho Viet Huong
73 Mulberry St, New York, NY 10013
Saigon Market
91 University Pl, New York, NY 10003
For Middle Eastern, you may want to dine on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. There are some great restaurants there. Then you can go by cab or car service (approximately 5 minutes by car but hard to walk) to The River Cafe for a nightcap: http://www.rivercafe.com/ (It looks like one of those bad water-side restaurants that just gets tourists in there and overcharges; but it's got very good food).
I might suggest that you stay somewhere besides Times Square for future trips. You will get more of a feel for the life of the city.
Have fun!
re: visciole
I'd concur. Good and tasty, though not great.
Bamiyan is rather good. I go to Ariana on 9th Av. more often, but the menus are different. Both are good.
I think my favorite Turkish place at this point may be Istanbul Cafe on 57 St. between 8th and 9th, but I also liked Zeytin on 85th and Columbus quite a lot the times I went there. I haven't been there for a few years, though, because Kefi - my favorite Greek restaurant, and one of my favorite sort of low mid-priced (c. $35/person) restaurants in Manhattan - is a block away. I have had some very good meals at Turkish Kitchen and some not that great.
I gave Nomad several tries in the months or so after it opened and had mixed though mostly positive experiences and should give it another try.
I haven't been to Taboon yet.
I wouldn't really look for Russian food in Manhattan. If you want Russian food, your best bet is to make an adventure out of it and go to Brighton Beach or Coney Island. Ask for recommendations on the Outer Boroughs board.
Vietnamese food is not a great strength of Manhattan, but I have never been impressed with Saigon Grill. Pho Viet Huong and the various places on Baxter St. are all decent, last I checked (which, truth be told, is not recently at all, so take that with a grain of salt) and so is Pho Nha Trang Centre, but if you really want good Vietnamese food, you're best off going to Brooklyn or Queens or at least considering limiting yourself to a banh mi at Banh Mi Saigon (lunch only).
If you ask for advice on the Outer Boroughs board, post a link to the thread here. I'll be happy to recommend several Southeast Asian restaurants in Elmhurst, which is only about a 25-minute subway ride from Midtown Manhattan.
9th Av. - My favorite restaurants are Wondee (only the original, on the east side of the avenue between 52nd and 53rd Sts. - right across the street from Ariana Afghan - and for best results, order off the "Secret Thai" menu and ask for the food to be spicy and Thai style), Gazala Place (delicious Israeli Druze food in a cramped little place on the west side of the avenue between 48th and 49th Sts.), the aforementioned Ariana, Uncle Nick's (honest Greek food at cheap prices), Pam's Real Thai (again, just the original on 49th west of 9th), and on the strength of one brunch so far, Marseille.
There are also some good places on and near 10th Av. For example, I like Meskerem very much, especially when they aren't out of mead (Tej), like they were the last time I was there. :-)

The Prince Albert Co-operative Association Limited presented its 2011 annual report the afternoon of March 9 in Marcelin with 16 members in attendance.
Ian Lauder, PA Co-operative Association Ltd board director, called the meeting to order. Operations manager Joe Novokowski read the minutes from the 2011 annual meeting held in Marcelin.
Ian Lauder presented the board of directors� report indicating the achievements of the past year with new construction projects being completed within budget guidelines.
�Many other improvements were made such as new Point of Sale systems in virtually all locations,� commented Lauder. �New card readers were installed at our cardlock locations enabling our system to gradually move away from the old style card to the new mag stripe. A major renovation and addition of a new cardlock also took place at Paddockwood, allowing the members in the area access to fuel 24/7.�
Lauder continued by commenting that PA Co-op employs an average of 500 employees. Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) offered 19 training seminars in Prince Albert with 233 of its employees participating. Some of the courses included eLearning, WHMIS, first Aid/CPR and fire extinguisher training.
Terry Goertz presented the management report.
�Our new 42,000 square foot state of the art food store opened on June 9, 2011,� commented Goertz, �and since its opening we have seen sales grow on a weekly basis. Many of our branch locations utilized refrigeration and other assets from the Central Avenue location with most being installed at Paddockwood, Smeaton and Wakaw where major renovations took place.�
In summary, the PA Co-operative Association Ltd had a superior year in terms of sales, earnings and patronage refund. It will result in a patronage allocation of 5.75 percent on all products, with the exception of feed, which is one percent. Full-time agronomists were brought on staff at Kinistino, Prince Albert and Shellbrook locations resulting in a positive effect in the agricultural sector.
�The C-Store Division in Prince Albert along with La Ronge Store, Big River C-Store, Big River Lumber, Domremy and Wakaw Lumber all experienced earnings well above budget,� explained Goertz.
Goertz also announced a corporate bulk plant and PA Co-op owned cardlock at Shellbrook in 2012. This is being built on 10 acres of land adjacent to Highway 44 and will continue to be developed over the next 3-5 years.
The Prince Albert Co-operative Association Ltd. has grown over the last number of years and is now proud to provide a variety of services to 30,000 members in 13 communities and their surrounding areas. The PA Co-op has 28,120 active members and 2,574 inactive memberships bringing total membership to 30, 694. The board of directors approved 1,946 members in 2011 and credits the increase of membership over 2010 to the opening of the new food store in Prince Albert.
Since its inception in 1940, the PA Co-operative Association Ltd. has paid out over $57.4 million in share repayments and had $2.5 billion in sales with $150.5 million returned as equity. In 2012 withdrawal of equity is expected to be $3.9 million, including the general cash repayment in April.
Operations manager Joe Novakowski provided the statement of operations for the Marcelin branch for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 2011.
Sales were at $1,908,702, an increase over the previous year�s $1,852,333. The cost of goods remained reasonably constant to the previous year giving 2011 a gross margin of $213,122. Total operating expenses of $258,704 resulted in a net loss of operations of $45,582, which is an increase slightly over 2010; however, Novakowski explained that the Marcelin Co-op underwent the installation of a new retail cash register system at a cost over $12,000. Despite the net loss being up slightly over 2010, without the new system expenditure, the Marcelin branch�s net loss would have been less than the previous year. Novakowski commented that he was very happy with the operations of the Marcelin branch.
Novakowski concluded his presentation by acknowledging the many staff who are dedicated to providing personalized shopping experiences that exceed the members� expectations and also to the members who, with their continued support, make the co-operatives the success they are today.
The meeting concluded with the election of officials. Delegate Noella Crowder let her name stand as did committee member Hubert Smith. Local delegates include Noella Crowder, Andrew Neveu and Darryl Valuck. Local committee members are Hubert Smith, Omer Bonin and Annette Butler.

The arsenal was the residence of Sully and then Henri IV, who converted it into an apartment. In the 18C, the erudite Marquis of Argenson amassed a collection of books here, enhanced by the Count of Artois. At the Revolution it was expanded further to include the archives from the Bastille. As a result, the Arsenal has been a national library since 1797. It is possible to visit the manuscripts' room, the 18C music salon, and the bedroom and chambers of La Meilleraye (note the 17C paintings).

CrossFit Goals for 2013Thursday, January 03, 2013
I started CrossFit on May 14, 2012 and am so excited to start 2013 as a CrossFitter. While I've gotten a lot stronger in the past 7.5 months, I have so many goals for the coming year and cannot wait to accomplish them. I am starting the year in the best shape I've ever been in, and for the first time, one of my goals isn't to figure out a workout routine. I cannot wait to see where I am a year from now!
As of today, I am back on the paleo challenge with Gina, Maxine, Bri, and Kelsey. I feel better when I follow a strict paleo diet, and after losing almost 25% of my body fat, I'd like to see where I can go in another month or two. There is no going back from paleo, but the challenge is a great way to keep you in check. No cheat days!
On day one, I could barely do a push-up on my knees. Just a few weeks in could do 10. I can now do 10 real push-ups (unbroken), but can do more if I give myself a little break. I can even do them during a WOD!
At the end of May, my max back squat was 65 lbs. By November 19 my back squat had doubled to 130 (more than my weight). My front squat went from 78 to 105, push press went from 55 to 85, and my dead lift went from 73 to 135. Best. Feeling. Ever.
I couldn't do a pull-up with a green band. A month and a half in I could do six. Three months in I could do four pull-ups with the blue band. I started to WOD with blue and red, then blue and pink, and skipped right to red. A few weeks ago I did 10 unbroken with the pink band, just two weeks ago got my first unassisted kipping pull-up, and last week I did my first WOD with the pink band (70 pull-ups!). I cannot wait to WOD without a band!
There is still so much I want to improve on which is one of the greatest things about CrossFit. You're always going for a new PR and are always getting stronger. Maybe one day I'll even do a muscle up like these guys. And yes–the boys at RNCF really like to take their shirts off when they work out.
Goals for 2013
Double Unders // I've done a max of 4 unbroken
Do pull-ups during a WOD without a band
Handstand push-up // need to work on getting in a handstand!
Max push press 100+ lbs // current max is 85
Dead hang pull-up
Get below 19% body fat in the next few months // athlete status
Rx KB swings
More Rx WODs
And most important–get stronger and healthier!
If you are thinking about starting CrossFit, what are you waiting for? Let this be the year you completely change your life! And before you say it isn't for you (which is what I said before I started the basics program at RNCF) just give it a try. I used to HATE working out. Hate hate hated it. And now I find myself wanting to WOD after work. It's also the first thing I want to do on a Saturday morning. Aside from moving to Chicago and launching TEG, it's the greatest thing I've ever done for myself. And no–this is not a sponsored post. I just really love CrossFit.

I love when you can see and feel progress! I think one of the girls at my job tried this out...I'm going to check into where she went!ReplyDelete
Good for you!! Keep it up! Best wishes on your goals! =)
Ergo - Blog
Danielle that is awesome! It's been fun following you along on this adventure!ReplyDelete
How on EARTH can you concentrate with guys handing shirtless from rings?!?!?!ReplyDelete
Love this post! Following your CF story gave me the final push I needed to give CF a try for myself! I live in Lakeview so last week my fiance and I signed up at Crossfit Defined on Belmont-we start in Feb and am so excited! Your results also sparked some interest in eating Paleo so I've read up and I'll be starting a Whole30 at the end of this month. Thanks for keeping us updated with all your fantastic progress, I'm looking forward to hearing about all the goals you'll meet this year!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your Crossfit accomplishments. Given my back issues, Crossfit is definitely not for me.ReplyDelete
Way to go! It always feels good to be able to look back on all that you've accomplished and know that you've done something so positive for your health and body. You always rave about the paleo diet, but it seems so restrictive that I'm not sure what I would eat if I ever went paleo! Would you ever consider doing a post on what a day of your paleo eats looks like?ReplyDelete
I think you just got some to join with the shirtless guys picture... :)ReplyDelete
I'm currently training for a half marathon at the first of April, but when I'm done I really want to give CrossFit a try! I'm looking forward to it, but I'm having a hard time convincing my husband that the 'weight lifting' isn't going to make me a huge muscular woman! haha You know, the creepy ones?
Anyway, I think I'll give it a try anyway and prove him wrong, and then hopefully wow him with my athleticism and get him to give it a shot too (he HATES exercising!)
Congrats to you on all you've accomplished! I've liked following along with you.
Congratulations on your Crossfit success! I have recently started doing Bootcamp classes, and I am in a similar situation where I finally want to go workout everyday. Having workout accomplishment goals is much different than having a goal to workout - a huge accomplishment! Keep up the great work!ReplyDelete
My workout goal is to START working out haha. I'm not exactly the sportiest girl in the world, so I try and compensate by eating really well and whilst I am naturally slim I know that I might have some nasty suprises ahead of me if I don't start using my body more and keeping it fit. It's been really good to follow you from starting crossfit until now, it kind of makes it all a little less daunting!ReplyDelete
Sophie x
You inspire me. I invite you to add this post to my Thursday blog hop ( its still open) xo P.S. my new giveaway started today!ReplyDelete
I need to do this for myself. I've only set one CF goal- to get a kipping pull up without a band. We are opposites...I can lift the heavier weights and kill the cardio, but pull-up are my nemesis! I'm a black or green band-er depending on the WOD. Did Barbara today with black. 34:45. Ugh.ReplyDelete
I'm eating clean, but have a paleo challenge on my list for sometime list year.
There are a few teams getting relay teams together for the Illinois Marathon this year- if you're box is interested, let me know!Replies
Hi Elise! I have some advice for you (given to me by one of my favorite coaches). Do ring rows until you're ready for a thinner band. For me, this was until I could do blue and red during a WOD. He told me that the green band wasn't ok for anyone who weighs less than 200 lbs, and that in the end you won't get stronger using it.Delete
I did ring rows the first few months, and then went from blue and red to blue and pink. Then blue, red, and then just pink. I haven't done unassisted during a WOD but hope to try it in the next few weeks as long as the WOD has less than 5-10 pull-ups at a time).
Hope that helps a little bit!
Awesome goals!! I am doing my first Paleo challenge now and I cant wait to see the changes! Also, a pull-up and consecutive double unders are on the list of things to do this year :)ReplyDelete
Great goals and congrats on the improvements you've made. I started CrossFit in August. My CrossFit goal for 2013 is to master Double Unders. I've only done 4 unbroken DU once and its a great accomplishment (and comes as a suprise) when I get 3 unbroken.ReplyDelete
Please write out what an acronym means the first time it is used.ReplyDelete
Work out of the Day (WOD).
woah...cant believe...is that really you? I feel so weak.ReplyDelete

Top Chef
Look who's representing Minnesota in the 11th season of Bravo's "Top Chef: New Orleans" series: Sara Johannes, chef of Shoyu, a Japanese restaurant at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport (Concourse G). Johannes is a graduate of St. Paul College's culinary arts program and worked at the Walker Art Center's 20.21 and with Wolfgang Puck at restaurants in California before arriving at Shoyu. The Bravo series debuted last week and headed to the swamp with the contestants — all from the Midwest — who were charged with making a dish from one of Louisiana's delicacies: alligator, frog or turtle. The show airs locally at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on Bravo. For weekly recaps, check out Star Tribune.com/tabletalk.
Assignment: Salads in schools
Some of Minneapolis' top local chefs and restaurateurs are going back to grade school — in the best way. They've teamed up with the city schools' Culinary and Nutrition Services to form a True Food Chef Council to promote more wholesome, unprocessed, "real" food in schools. They'll help develop recipes and work with students in cafeterias. Some dishes may even end up on a restaurant's children's menu. Through October, more than 20 restaurants are raising money to install salad bars in the Marcy Open, Jefferson, Hall and Seward Montessori schools. At Lucia's, for example, a portion of the price of their Jefferson Pumpkin bars will go to Jefferson Elementary School. For a list of participating restaurants and "their" schools, visit http://bit.ly/1bu9GLN.
Mississippi Market delivery expands
A year ago, the two Mississippi Market Natural Foods Co-ops began a delivery service in St. Paul. Now they've expanded, crossing a couple of rivers to deliver to 50 ZIP codes in the area. Customers can shop online — no need to be a co-op member — by visiting www.msmarket.coop. Delivery is available Monday through Saturday, with groceries arriving in reusable cloth bags. Delivery fees range from $9.95 to $17.95, depending on location and time chosen for delivery.
Best Buy, best chefs
You never know who you'll run into at Best Buy. This Saturday, Jamie Malone, chef de cuisine at Sea Change Restaurant, and chef Lenny Russo of Heartland Restaurant will be at the Richfield Best Buy store, 1000 W. 78th St., from 1 to 4 p.m. demonstrating small appliances while preparing recipes. Yes, samples! Their appearance is part of a small-appliance sale, a contest for a $2,000 kitchen appliance makeover and chance to win a dinner for two at a restaurant chosen by the chefs.
Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey
Every once in a while, a really cool cooking class comes along. This time, it's hosted by Cooks of Crocus Hill, which is bringing in chef John Currence, a James Beard Award winner, New Orleans restaurateur and author of "Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey: Recipes From My Three Favorite Food Groups and Then Some" (Andrews McMeel, $24.48). The $75 class is at 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the school, 877 Grand Av., St. Paul. On the menu: lemon-pickled apples, green onion hush puppies, mustard-crusted pork tenderloin with apple cider reduction and pork fat beignets with bourbon caramel. To register, visit www.cooksofcrocushill.com.
Kowalski's turns 30
Kowalski's stores celebrate their 30th anniversary Saturday with special events in all stores from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They promise samples, fun and surprises. Congrats to them! Also plan ahead for Oct. 22, when chef Lidia Bastianich appears at the Woodbury Market from 5 to 7 p.m. to sign copies of her newest book, "Lidia's Commonsense Italian Cooking."
