Antoine's or Arnaud's for brunch?
San Francisco hound staying in NOLA for 4 days and stuck between going to Arnaud's or Antoine's for brunch. Heard about Antoine's Sardou, Alaska, and Cafe Diablo but there's also Arnaud's famous shrimp remoulade and trout meuniere. Below is my restaurant itinerary and any critiques or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!
-Petunias for brunch
-Central Grocery for muffuletta
-August for dinner
-Arnaud's or Antoine's for brunch
-Commander's for dinner
-Brennan's for breakfast
-Mother's for lunch
-K-Paul's for dinner
-Elizabeth's for breakfast
-Galatoire's for lunch
-ACME for dinner before flight
re: MakingSense
Is another good breakfast place? Looked up Ralph's in the Park and Palace Cafe but like alot of other places they are not open Mondays for breakfast. There's Scott Boswell's Restaurant Stanley but I haven't heard alot of feedback on that place. Thanks.
re: CEfromLA
Thanks for the rec. I will do Bon Ton. My friends from Hattiesburg have also recommended that place but I had completely forgotten about it.
My vote is for Antoines. I have been twice in the last month, in part because I want to show local support for a venerable institution and in part because I love the place, and have had excellent meals both times. Superb souffle potatoes, pompano, shrimp remoulade, crabmeat ravigote, tenderloin tips with marchand du vin, and oysters foch. I was a little disappointed with the oysters Rockefeller, but I have always liked Galatoire's version better. I plan on returning often.
In terms of breakfast places, I posted on Eat New Orleans recently. I will be back this weekend.
Mother's serves breakfast. And any day for breakfast, there's Café du Monde for café au lait and beignets. Save room for lunch.
Try Casamento's for lunch on Saturday. Look at the photo of their Oyster Loaf in this month's Saveur magazine! Eat a dozen raw to start. Take the Magazine bus from Canal Street to get there and see one of New Orleans' most interesting streets. You can fit in Central on another day when Casamento's is closed.
For help with addresses, days and hours of operation for local restaurants, try www.nomenu.com
Thanks for the heads up! The oyster loaf does look good. Problem is I'll be arriving in NO at 1:40pm on Sat. and I doubt I can make it to Casamento's before they close at 2. Might need to stop here and ACME on Tuesday for a quick bite before the flight out. Cafe du Monde is definitely on my to do list.
re: jackkirby
Lines can be very, very long at Acme so have a Plan B just in case. You might even want to grab a Muffaletta for the long flight back to the Left Coast.
Another beloved New Orleans po'boy joint is Parasol's in the Irish Channel at Third and Constance, one block off the Magazine bus line. Their roast beef po'boy is a classic version. Order it "dressed."
It's good to get out of the tourist sections and see a little of the local scene...
BTW, when I lived in the French Quarter, we used to stop in restaurants all the time just for a drink and an appetizer. So if you decide to try the Shrimp Remoulade at Arnaud's for a snack, don't be shy.
Thanks for visiting the city we love so dearly.
re: MakingSense
Ah yes, Parasol's. I've heard they're one of the best bars in NO. We plan to have brunch at Antoine's at 11 am and since dinner at Commander's is not 'til 9pm we can stop by Parasol's for a mid-afternoon po'boy. Thank you again for all your recommendations and I'll make sure to report back after the trip.
re: bbares81
Unfortunately, Antoine's doesn't do dinner on Sundays and I've got other restaurants set for other nights. Otherwise, that would be my choice too.
Fair enough...it would be a big switch, but just to let you know August is open on Sundays, but it is probably a hassle to switch that much....antoine's brunch is good...no worries.
re: jackkirby
No problem...I don;t know when they started serving on Sundays, but its great because reservation are easy to get that night.
The brunch to end all brunches, IMHO, is The Court of Two Sisters on Royal Street
in the Quarter. Bonus is a jazz group is usually playing

With just a couple of months left to go until Kate Middleton gives birth in this week's Grazia we reveal how she – along with the help of her mother Carole and Prince William - has ripped up the Royal baby rule book. Indeed, according to our well-placed sources rather than stay at a palace after the baby is born Kate is planning to move back home to her parents' house in Berkshire. So not HRH protocol!
Normally when a Royal baby is born it would traditionally live, with its parents in a Royal property, but Kate has decided that she would rather me at home with familiar surroundings. We discuss just how this news has been taken by the Palace and Prince Charles and reveal all about their plans to step up security at the Middleton's £4.85million family home. If you want to read more about Kate's big idea and check out her amazing bump wardrobe, which is full of amazing designer and high-street buys including Topshop and Mulberry, pick up your copy of Grazia now!

Age: 58 and counting… I was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, by fine upstanding parents. I have worked at numerous occupations over the years and have owned several small businesses until I was forced into retirement.
Thankfully, I became a Christian 35 years ago while hitchhiking across Canada. A sweet young lady was kind enough to lead me to the Lord. Her Godly invitation was irresistible. I had never felt love so peaceful and divine so it was an easy choice.
Since then God has blessed me with a host of profound spiritual experiences. Most importantly, I recently received two clear God-given visions of New York City that I wish to share with God's saints herein. God clarified my viewpoint on several key issues by showing me these two visions. It is convincing reading! Set aside one day to read this study guide twice over. One day to read is better than one year to write!

Every month we give away something interesting, unique, and 100% free ... we also do surprise giveaways! |
Antique Typewriter
Write Your Next Novel On This Antique Typewriter
About Latest Giveaways…
This giveaway was in partnership with FatWallet, a coupon and deal site right down the road from Nate in Wisconsin.
We've wanted to give you guys a fancy antique typewriter since the beginning of this project, and we finally found the perfect one: this Remington Rand Noiseless Portable Typewriter from the 1930′s. It's in good condition, too – nice and sleek and pretty. Yes, I said pretty.
Although I have to tell you that the "noiseless" and "portable" terms are used quite loosely in this case. This beast weighs a solid 15 pounds, and even though it comes in its own little box with a handle, I pity the poor kid who had to haul this thing to class to take notes back in the day. Can you imagine shopping for school supplies and coming back with one of these monsters? It'd be like adopting a child!
This is what it looks like when it's trying to pretend it's not heavy enough to kill a man with a single blow to the head:
The other really cool thing about this piece is the oh-so-satisfying clackety-clack sound it makes when you're typing, and of course the fun little "ding!" sound it makes when you hit the right margin of the page and have to slide the carriage back. I recorded a little snippet of it if you want to hear:
This typewriter is in good shape, looks nice, and everything works as far as I can tell. If you want to actually write with it, of course you'll need a newly inked ribbon – this one has faded. But this smooth operator from the '30′s is good to go!
Happy old-school journaling,
- Nate & Jay
PS: Remember when we said we were launching a gift card site? The time has come – it is finally here: TakeOurGiftCards.com. If you want to join, sign up now to that new list and enter to win the $150 gift card up for grabs!

Stella McCartney's cotton and silk-blend Lydia jacket is the perfect antidote to classic tailoring. Imagined in a fresh lemon-beige hue and tailored for an easy loose fit it works both on and off-duty with a simple switch of styling.
Stella McCartney combines two footwear favourites with her espadrille/trainer hybrid. Made from black faux-suede they feature black mesh animal-print uppers and contrasting jute rope foxing midsoles. Wear them to lend sleek separates a sports-luxe edge.
We love Stella McCartney's compact version of its best-selling 'Falabella' bag. It's crafted from faux python and finished with the label's signature whipstitch and chain trims. Carry it over your shoulder for day or as a clutch come evening. Black faux python Magnetic-fastening front flap
A crystal embellishment on the heel elevates Stella McCartney's Jodie Brown sandals to new heights. The slim design is made from black faux-leather with a contrasting tonal-brown crocodile-effect front strap. Wear them with the label's printed separates as part of an effortless getaway wardrobe.
Stella McCartney's fil coupé 'Yvonne' top is patterned with gold polka dots. It has been spun from wispy silk-blend and finished with a ruffled collar. Wear yours to dinner with tailored pants and heels. Midnight-blue and gold silk-blend fil coupé Slips on 98% silk, 1% polyamide, 1% polyester Dry clean
Stella McCartney's jersey-piqué top is simple yet flattering - the wide V-neck elegantly frames your collarbone. The cropped hem falls to the waist, so we think it works best with high-rise pants. Black jersey-piqué Slips on 83% rayon, 17% polyester Dry clean
Graphic prints and a relaxed spirit dominated Stella McCartney's Resort 2015 collection and the silk-crepe Leah skirt is an effortless way to tap into the aesthetic. Offset the graphic blossom print with crisp white shirting and simple pumps.
Stella McCartney's Resort presentation was full of strappy wedge sandals in colourful exotic prints. This Linda pair is a wearable translation with a mid-high eco-wood heel and adjustable python-print faux-leather straps. They give just the right amount of height to midi-length dresses and skirts while remaining low-key.
Stella McCartney's Blaine shirt is a wardrobe staple with a sleek luxurious edge. It's cut from a loose white silk-crepe with a self-fastening neck-tie that can be worn undone or tied into a soft bow. Dress it up or down switching a printed skirt for skinny jeans at the weekend.
Stella McCartney puts a directional spin on a winter staple by adding a dramatic asymmetric hem to this off-white cashmere and silk-blend sweater. Slip it on with the label's printed trousers and heels for an effortless round-the-clock look.
This Superstellaheroes structured black tote from Stella McCartney is a street-style fixture in the making. It's made from eco-friendly materials with a superhero appliqué front feature and a logo-engraved metal plaque. Carry it to give current staples new-season bite.
Stella McCartney's tailoring straddles the line between masculine and feminine perfectly. This Fleur blazer is made from light-blue and black pin-dot textured wool with lightly padded shoulders and notch lapels that are balanced by a gently curved waist and streamlining longer length. Make a modern power pairing with the matching trousers.
Spring is the perfect time to experiment with colour and Stella McCartney's Blaine shirt comes in a season-perfect cornflower-blue hue. The menswear-inspired collarless silhouette is softened by the fluid silk-crepe body and the self-fastening neck tie. Add impact with printed trousers and embellished sandals.
The unique brushed texture of Stella McCartney's faux leather 'Falabella' bag is designed to become even more soft, supple over time. This slouchy style comes with a shoulder strap and top handles so you can switch it up to suit your outfit. Sky-blue faux brushed-leather Magnetic snap fastening at top Comes with dust bag
Stella McCartney's white jeans feel so right for the coming season. Made in Italy with a hint of stretch , they deliver a skinny but non-constrictive fit. This style falls to the perfect ankle-grazing length - wear yours with boots or statement sneakers. White stretch-denim Button and concealed zip fastening at front 98% cotton, 2% elastane Machine wash
Stella McCartney's versatile 'Julia' pants combine a smart tailoring fabric with the relaxed silhouette of sporty track styles. Finished with a partially elasticated waist, this stretch-cady pair holds its shape well and doesn't crease easily. Wear yours with a sweatshirt and heels. Black stretch-cady Pull on 64% rayon, 32% acetate, 4% elastane; trim: 100% cotton Dry clean
Stella McCartney's mini Falabella cross-body bag is updated for the new season in pink glossy faux suede. It boasts a surprisingly roomy interior and is finished with signature chunky gunmetal chain trims and shoulder straps. It makes the perfect companion to the label's saturated stripe dresses.
Cropped wide-leg pants are this season's most coveted silhouette. Stella McCartney's jersey pair is our new favorite - the flexible fabric makes them super comfortable and flattering. The waistband is blended with a touch of stretch to streamline your figure, too. Black jersey Pull on 83% rayon, 17% polyester; waistband: 74% rayon, 13% polyamide, 11% polyester, 2% elastane Dry clean
"They're our superheroes for superwomen," says Stella McCartney of her playful Resort '15 print. Patterned with colorful robot faces, this silk crepe de chine jumpsuit is cut for a relaxed fit. Ruched, tapered cuffs and sleeves add a touch of shape to the unstructured silhouette and you can use the tie to cinch in your waist. Multicolored silk crepe de chine Concealed zip fastening along side 100% silk Dry clean
Stella McCartney's black Monia jumpsuit is printed with the playful superhero motif that's central to her Resort 2015 collection. It's cut from soft silk-crepe and designed for a relaxed fit that can be cinched at the waist with the optional waist tie. Wear it with flat sandals in the day and towering mules after dark.
Stella McCartney's 'Lula' shirt is crafted from airy cotton-jacquard , woven to create a striped pattern. This versatile piece will work with everything from tailoring to denim. White cotton-jacquard Button fastenings through front 100% cotton Dry clean
Stella McCartney's blue and red striped top is knitted with a touch of stretch so it sits close to the body. The bold contrasting hues give the simple shape a high-impact edge. Try clashing with a contrasting pattern on the bottom for a dynamic effect.
Stella McCartney's navy Falabella backpack is loaded with signature design details. It's made from glossy faux-suede and trimmed with a hallmark silver-tone metal chain. Complete with separate internal and external pockets and adjustable shoulder straps it's as functional as it is stylish.
The cutout glitter -finished stars on Stella McCartney's black 'Cavendish' tote reflect the energy and playfulness of her ready-to-wear collections. This carryall is constructed from smooth faux leather in a trapeze silhouette. Wear yours with pared-back looks. Black faux leather Zip fastening along top
Stella McCartney's Falabella bags are loved for their understated yet luxurious aesthetic. This version comes in glossy grey faux-suede with hallmark gunmetal chain detailing to finish. The medium size is perfect for everyday and can easily fold down to be carried as a clutch.
Stella McCartney's 'Falabella' shoulder bag is a house signature. This champagne style is made from soft and slouchy faux brushed- leather and detailed with the brand's unmistakable whipstitched chain trims. We think the pearlescent finish looks great with denim. Champagne faux brushed-leather Magnetic snap fastening at top Designer color: Sand Comes with dust bag
When it comes to amping up a look the novelty clutch is the editor's accessory of choice. This black faux-leather style is part of Stella McCartney's Superstellaheroes collection. It's decorated with a yellow superhero appliqué front feature that will lend day and evening looks a playful twist.
Stella McCartney's 'Zanda' shorts are loosely tailored from fluid silk-crepe . The elasticated waistband ensures they comfortably sit on your hips and crisp front pleats add a smart finish. We love this pair styled with mannish flats. Midnight-blue silk-crepe Pull on 100% silk Dry clean Designer color: Ink
This season Stella McCartney focused on staple silhouettes and painterly patterns. The mixed blossom print of her silk-crepe Petra dress is the perfect seasonal pick-me-up and will make the move from winter to spring wardrobes faultlessly. Wear it now with ankle boots and with chunky sandals when the new season rolls around.
Stella McCartney masters the season's wide-leg tailoring with these navy Oliver bouclé culottes. Cut to sit high on the waist and fall to a mid-calf length they're the perfect answer to smart warm-weather dressing - just tuck in a silk blouse and add chunky heels.
Stella McCartney's coin purse encapsulates the label's playful mood for Spring '15. Crafted in Italy from snake-effect faux leather , it is designed with red glitter -finished eyes. Attach yours to your keys or carry it by the detachable wristlet strap. Black snake-effect faux leather, yellow and white faux leather, red glitter-finished faux leather Zip fastening along top Comes in a presentation box
For Stella McCartney SS15 is a season of bold colour and graphic prints. Get ahead of the game with the floral-printed silk-crepe Lucy skirt which comes to an elegant knee length. Wear it now with chunky boots switching to sandals come spring.
Stella McCartney's mini skirt has boxy pockets - a signature of the Resort '15 collection - and is made from slub canvas that holds its A-line shape. Accentuate the neat waistline by wearing yours with a crisp shirt tucked in. Blue slub canvas Concealed hook and zip fastening at back 54% rayon, 17% silk, 16% cotton, 13% polyester Dry clean
Stella McCartney's boyfriend jeans have been made in Italy from organic denim and frayed by hand. They're perfectly faded without being too distressed. Rolled cuffs add to the relaxed feel.

November 24, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma says it will be able to provide nearly 4.7 million meals to hungry Oklahomans thanks to a gift from Devon Energy Corporation.
Devon donated a record-breaking $936,600 to the food bank, 72 percent of the amount raised so far in the food bank's month-long food and fund drive.
More than 550 Devon Energy employees helped the food bank last month by sorting and filling pantry boxes with canned food donations. Devon employees sorted 319,975 pounds of food into boxes - enough to fill nine tractor-trailer rigs with food to help Oklahomans impacted by the deadly May 19 and 20 tornadoes.
Oklahoma City-based Devon and its employees have donated nearly 45,000 pounds of food and raised more than $5.4 million during the last nine years.

I was hesitant to choose this blower as it was rated with a lower power rating than some of the others offered. After using it a couple times I am very happy with the amount of power that is has and feel that it's is under rated. I love the fact that all of my lawn & garden power tools run on straight gasoline.

I purchased my 2nd Craftsman 4 cycle leaf blower recently because my 1st one stopped running. 1st one ran for 3 1/2 years and I used it almost every day for an average of 20 mins a day. Wasn't happy when the 1st one quit on me (engine blew, not worth rebuilding). Was very happy with it when it was running well. And was happy enough to purchase a 2nd one to replace it. I've had the 2nd one for a month and it runs very well. Am particulary happy that I don't have to be concerned about mixing oil and gas. I am done with 2 cycle engines!

I purchased this item online. A relative has one, and likes it. Mine however, started leaking oil around the choke lever and air cleaner after only a few uses. I TREAT MY EQUIPMENT WITH KID GLOVES. I raised the air cleaner cover, and the filter was soaked with oil. Returned it, got it back...oil leak fixed, but had same oil-soaked filter. Cleaned it, used it a few times....had same problem. Returned it for repair again today.

I have used this for two years. Never any problem starting up. Works great. 25.2cc engine is fine and the unit is well balanced. Variable speed is nice feature. I bought it because I was tired of mixing the gas. What a pain. I would recommend using fresh gas and preserver for all your small engines. Whenever I have had problems it was because of the gasoline.

This is a great product. Easy to put together and easy to operate. Blows like a hurricane and really moves the debris. I really like the fact that it's four cycle rather than two.

Worked good from a first pull. Powerfull, not to noisy, but on a heavy side. So far I like it!

Compellent adds file-level access to SAN
Compellent is adding integrated file-level access to its SAN product, and using Sun's open source ZFS to do so. The zNAS product is a 1U enclosure running the file access software on diskless, dual quad-core Nehalem hardware, which can be clustered in two nodes for high availability. It has 1Gbit Ethernet client access, with …
So Compellents conception of "Unified Storage" is a traditional SAN array + a couple of 3rd party NAS head ducttaped together?
Given enough ducttape is available, why not add a couple of servers, a couple of switches and an administrator (male or female) to "create worlds first selfadministering unified computing thingy"
The unified query (YUK) paradigm, essentially a whopping big space containing lists of objects (i.e. tables,) events (i.e. immutable time sensitive effective sequences,) and generalised pools of objects, has come a long way in a short time. The functional results of unified query, (i.e. the ability to optimally generate efficient, but very complicated resultsets can only really be done, by having super huge data space, and a parallel despatcher engine, which fires off multiple implementations of each of the resultset processes and terminates the lot when the most efficient one has finished.
The derived data component of unified query, also provides the ability to build and throw away enterprise service datasets (i.e. derived data which can be reported, but whose underlying data can't, and whose cost of generation is too expensive to be done multiple times anyway.) An example of the latter would be the generation of average speeds of cars by registration number. The host system can know the locations and times, and compute running averages which can be replicated out individually or as a set, but withold the roads upon which they were clocked.
A vast array of virtual memory has the ability to answer ridiculously complex queries due to the scale of fast space allocation, that conventional computing can't.
It would be ridiculous to ridicule this in the fashion of Eigen, just because the maths hasn't yet got an application.
*** Resultset process - a set of processes which all do the same thing in different ways.
eg. a simple example would be sorting unknown amounts of data. The despatcher contains a list of functions (e.g. shell, quick, bubble) that sort data, and gives them all a go at it, they all work in different ways, and so one of them is likely to be more efficient. When one finishes, the others are aborted, causing their enterprise dataset to be deleted and the space reclaimed, the one which finished has its data kept (or deleted, depending on cost benefit analysis - a result set is just a function* of dry (- don't repeat yourself) data anyway.) This is the exact opposite to current RDBMS which choose a single algorithm, based on clever guessing.
At the enterprise scale, the sort will be one of a hierarchy of functional results, in a Lisp like defun() though using Linq like functionality. The hierarchy of the functions providing the answer. This can simply not be done using conventional architectures.
"Here we come?" Unified storage already here, no?
Article states "Unified storage here we come." Second time in two months I see article about other storage companies doing what Sun already did. Anyone talked to Oracle lately about this? Or is this space for start ups only?
Sun launched unified storage in 2008, out of project Amber Road. Today Oracle sells it as the Sun 7000 unified storage family which incorporates SAS/SATA, flash, ZFS, Dtrace, fibre channel, iSCSI,... Perhaps there are differing definitions of what unified storage means, and when it is available?

Maia in Villanova
- Mawrter May 5, 2008 08:59 PM
Has anyone been yet? I'm past that intersection all.the.time and I just noticed the sign today. I read that it's the same management/ownership as Nectar.
789 East Lancaster Avenue, Villanova; 866-907-6242.
from my quick google/your reading pleasure:
re: Mawrter
We were gonna go tomorrow for a business dinner but we were told that only the Bistro is open so far. We had to cancel the dinner anyway so we'll give it a little time to get up and running.
Stopped in there today (Friday 5/9) to snoop around but didn't eat. Both the front 'carry out' counter and the restaurant in back were open. The back was absolutely packed, at 12:30 pm. I just glanced at the menu: main courses seemed to be about $15. Lots of businesspeople and a few packs of 70-year-old gals holding birthday gifts. Mucho suit and tied management folks standing around observing. Unfortunately, I didn't try any food so I can't report on that which is what I know you really want to hear about! I do know they are still hiring servers and baristas.
I went to the Grand Opening Charity event they had and the place was WONDERFUL... I highly recommend. If you like Tango, Basil or Nectar you'll love Maia
re: the dog ate my homework
Are you sure? I was just there on Saturday night and the upstairs was still closed, and they didn't sound hopeful about opening it in the near future. My meal downstairs was pretty good.
I ate downstairs this weekend and the host said that there had just been a friends and family party at the upstairs and that the official opening was maybe going to be that night (Monday)? I snuck upstairs to take a peek: looks very 'chi-chi boo-boo', with cool couches to lounge on for cocktails and cool, slick details in the dining room. Kind of Nectar-ish. I just hope the menu is more varied than Nectar; not so stuck on a theme...
Set in a rather antiseptically upscale strip mall and corporate office complex, Maia, the dining and food court megaplex that opened just three weeks ago in the center of Villanova, isn't much to look at from the outside. Inside, though, there's something for just about everyone. At least that seems to be the idea as conceived by chefs/owners/brothers Patrick and Terence Feury, along with their partners and investors in a bevy of pan-culinary suburban Philadelphia outposts that, in addition to Feury outpost Nectar, includes Basil, Cin Cin, Tango and Yangming.
The sheer scale at Maia is daunting. 22,000 square feet of showroom floor – the space was previously a briefly lived Fresh Grocer supermarket – allow for numerous subdivisions. Front and left, there's a white tiled coffee, pastry and juice bar, seemingly tailored to the suburban mom on the move. Behind that is the large bar and lounge area – all brick and dark, right down to the parquet flooring – the site of both an apparently bustling weekend bar scene and of Maia's full service but casual dining area. Beyond that yet, at rear and center, is an open kitchen clad in polished stainless steel. According to our server, it's just a fraction of Maia's absolutely cavernous, luxe kitchen space.
Once past the gauntlet of hostesses in the entrance foyer, the right side of Maia's ground floor is site to the market portion of the business as well as to its most casual dining space, more cafeteria than café. One entire wall is lined with refrigerated beverage cases, displaying an extremely deep selection of bottled beers. Following along the walls, from right to left, front to rear, there's another coffee bar, more pastry, a charcuterie counter and, finally, the market's prepared food selections, displayed in glass cases which run the length of the back wall, eventually converging with the open kitchen area.
And that's just the ground floor. There's a full second floor as well, home to Maia's more formal, fine dining room.
The upside to all that space is the obvious opportunity it provides for diversity, even if it carries with it a certain lack of focus. The downside is an economy of scale in which the scale may just prove too large for the possibility of economic success. Time will tell, I suppose.
In the Feury brothers' own words, their menu draws on "the rich culinary traditions of Scandinavia, Alsace and the abundance of natural resources afforded by the East Coast's fertile soils." Their "bistro brunch" menu is peppered with Alsatian classics like choucroute, tarte flambé and a charcuterie platter. They take their place alongside a cured fish smörgåsbord and grilled Norwegian salmon, anchored by a balance of dishes that draw equally from French bistro and American café standards.
In addition to the aforementioned tremendous selection of beers in bottle, Maia also pours a solid lineup on draft. Choices are listed by style followed by brewery, name, location and alcohol information. Standouts on the current list include locals like Troegs Pale Ale and Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, and Belgians such as Grimbergen Dubbel and Géants "Goliath." I whet my whistle with a crisp, refreshing Kölsch from Gaffel, a brewery in Köln, Germany, and then settled into a pint of Founders' "Centennial" American IPA to accompany my burger. The list of wines available by the glass is a touch less exciting but does include a few reliable choices such as Weingut Huber's Grüner Veltliner "Hugo" and the Crémant d'Alsace Rosé of Lucien Albrecht. Prices, running anywhere between 2x to 3x markups, are moderate relative to the oft outrageous PA scale.
It will take at least another half-dozen trips to Maia to really come to grips with all it has to offer. The temptation level is certainly there. Heck, even the ham and Gruyere sandwich in their to-go case looked damn good.

re: David McDuff
i guess the bar has been set very low in the suburbs. I ate upstairs at Maia last Saturday for my wife birthday, and to say that the entire experience was marginal at best is generous. The food, muscle soup-ok main course - fluke= bad and desert sorbet was ok. The service was slow 2 of us sat down at 6:30 and left close to 9:00 because our waiter disappeared.. Nectar was a little shaky when they opened, maybe that is the case here, chances of going back anytime soon are slim.
re: rsenator
Uh oh...was planning on going for an early dinner at the bistro tomorrow. Any one else been there lately?
re: bluehensfan
I stopped by there for lunch a couple weeks ago, it was the same as on my first visit. Keep in mind that rsenator was in the upstairs dining room. The bistro is the downstairs, more casual area, with a different, less expensive menu.
re: Buckethead
And it was pretty good still (as in so-so or not that bad?). I think it would be really convenient for us to stop by there (but not for the hockey puck burger). Any suggestions as to what's good?
re: bluehensfan
It was about as good as I was expecting for the price, it's hard to say it lived up to the hype only because the hype over Maia has been kind of ridiculous. The best thing I had was probably the pastrami, they make it with beef from Snake River Farms. I actually liked the burger, but mine wasn't overcooked the way Mr. McDuff's was. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was definitely in the 'good' column. I'd rather eat the pastrami though.
re: the dog ate my homework
Thanks a lot...that sounds good!
re: the dog ate my homework
Well we tried the Bistro at Maia and in a word...wow! It was that good. The fact that we had the chef to ourselves for a late lunch (we got there at 3 and nobody else was dining there) may have helped but just about everything was fabulous.
First of all, the meal started out with a few in-house baked rolls. They were really good. One had olives and thyme, another was a whole wheat, and a ciabatta. We actually had a second order of the rolls because they were so good.
For an appetizer we tried the baby artichoke flatbread salad with saffron aioli, arugula, and parsley salad. I'm not one to get really excited about salads but this was one of the freshest I've ever tasted. And the combination of ingredients worked very well.
The one "miss" had to be the crispy calamari appetizer...the squid was a little chewy. Maybe they need to get a washing machine like Estia for their octopus but no big deal.
We also tried the softshell crab sandwich which was served with bacon, roasted tomato aioli and lettuce on fresh roseary potato bread. It was excellent.
Finally, we had the roast pork and homemade mozzarella sandwich with roasted peppers. It too was very good (but no DiNic's or anything like that).
For dessert I had the milk chocolate caramel filled tarts which were very creamy and tasty and my son had a dark chocolate and vanilla bean sorbet combo. They were good but tasted a bit icy to my Capogiro-influenced palate.
With drinks, the whole lunch was all of $55 bucks or so. And the service could not have been any better.
On the way out they have a dessert case featuring the chocolate tarts and other small bites. The problem (well *my* problem) was that all of the cookies and tarts were very small, so it was easy to try a number of different ones. Three russian tea cakes, two chocolate chip walnut cookies, one lemon butter cookie, a key lime tart, and some other cookie with raisins later, I can say they were all good and came in handy for making the blue route backup more palatable on the way home.
I can see going back next week because we will be up that way again...
Hi- went 8/19/08We ate upstairs at Maia, outside. The service and food were underwhelming. My scallops were served luke warm and the other meal, seared tuna, did not have any taste except for the herb crust. When our app was served we needed to ask about what was on the plate- instead of the server explaining. Our server never once asked us about our meal or even if we needed anything. When we didnt order dessert, our bill arrived w/o comment. Not even a "thanks and have a great night". For the amount of money we spent we expected an experience similar to Nectar or any stephen starr restaurant. Not happening. To their credit, after we paid bill, we discussed our experience with managment and we had a nice end of the night(comped us on dessert downstairs) We went downstairs for after dinner drinks and had FABULOUS service. I would go back but only downstairs.
re: dianemajor
Ate at Maia again recently and can't give a good report. We called to reserve a table for four in the more upscale, upstairs restaurant on a Sunday night. I was told on the phone by a man who turned out later to be one of the many layers of management that 'due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be unable to serve in the upstairs dining room." Bummer. I thought air conditioning problem? Water leak? So, we sat downstairs instead. We asked our waiter what the trouble was upstairs and he said, "We just haven't been gettin' much business up there so they didn't open it tonight." What was infuriating was that there was a huge blackboard on Maia's main floor restaurant, listing in chalk everything on the menu upstairs. Alot of it looked better than what we had to choose from in the lower level, but the waiter told us we couldn't order from it. He never bothered to check on us during the meal, either. Had he, we could have told him the medium rare chops one of us had ordered were way overdone.
We went for lunch July 24th. I had the veggie sandwich. It was FAB! My husband had the pastrami, I think that is what it was. It was very drippy. He didn't eat it. He doesn't like veggie sandwhiches and loved mine. Will try again, but not rushing to do so.
I was thinking of going here this weekend, though can someone give me a little more run down on what to expect? In the downstairs area, the Bistro area, is it a no reservation required? Also, if seated downstairs, do you have access to alcoholic beverages? It's not clear, as it sounds like there is a bar, though it doesn't really say if it's attached to the bistro...I'm guessing this is an experience? What things have you bought from the market?
re: Hellolaura
I read that one of the two Fleury brothers, the co-owners who started the place, has left Maia. Any insight into what's going on over there?
re: Hellolaura
Went here for the first time the other night, after giving the place time to work out the kinks for opening such a large restaurant. To be fair, I was seated downstairs and my expectations were not high based on what I've heard from reliable food sources but I wanted to give it a try anyway. The only positive thing I can say about the meal was that the Kobe Sliders weren't dry. Overall, the food was very bland and very uninspiring. Our waiter was not much help when asked for recommendations, and just seemed to be pushing the most expensive things on the menu. For a restaurant that so many people anticipated as finally bringing truly great food to the main line, i feel that it disappoints.
If you are looking for a nice place to go or drinks after work, Maia is perfect. If you're looking for a good experience with food, spend the time to go downtown.
re: MrMarsellus
Does anyone know if the Market is now open on the weekend? We've tried to "grab and go", only to meet with disappointment. I don't often have time for a sit-down meal on a Sat. afternoon, but would like to try some of the sandwiches, etc. Also, the one time we did eat at the restaurant, it was nothing to write home about.

Colorado Springs City Council discussed a proposed ordinance to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries on Monday.
It was proposed by a medical marijuana taskforce that's been working on it for months. In the ordinance, dispensaries would have to be at least 250 feet away from public schools, close from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and have proper business licenses.
Staff will continue to draft the ordinance so it's ready when the legislature makes a decision.

Jan 31, 2011While there's no reason to own episode one before playing '1112 episode 02', after experiencing this excellent adventure game you might just be compelled to own the whole series.

Jan 31, 2011An inadequate interface, poor localisation, and underdeveloped story make 1112, Episode 02 a disappointing follow up.
Jan 31, 20111112 Episode 02 is simply unforgivable. Louis Everett has to interact with unappealing characters, trying to clarify a plot that gropes in the dark from the very beginning to the end.
Jan 31, 2011Hardcore point and click adventure lovers will love this game, but with some of the difficulties in the touch controls and inability to backtrack to gather missed items, new point and click adventurers should not choose this as their first attempt at the genre.

PHOENIX (AP) - A neurosurgeon who operated on Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords says "she's holding her own."
Dr. Michael LeMole of Tucson's University Medical Center told CBS's "The Early Show" Monday he removed a portion of her skull in order to perform the surgery but likely will replace it at some point.
He said "the best way to describe her this morning is that she's holding her own."
Giffords was shot in the head at close range. Doctors said she had responded repeatedly to commands to stick out her two fingers, giving them hope she may survive.
A federal judge, a congressional aide and a young girl were among the six people killed Saturday, while Giffords and 13 others were wounded.

And with good reason: he was the youngest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl; the only quarterback in NFL history to win three Super Bowls before turning twenty-eight; the fourth player in history to win multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. He started the season with a 57-14 record, the best of any NFL quarterback since 1966.Award-winning sports journalist Charles P. Pierce's Moving the Chains explains how Brady reached the top of his profession and how he stays there. It is a study in highly honed skills, discipline, and making the most of good fortune, and is shot through with ironies--a sixth-round draft pick turned superstar leading a football dynasty that was once so bedraggled it had to play a home game in Birmingham, Alabama, because no stadium around Boston would have it. It is also about an ordinary man and an ordinary team becoming extraordinary. Pierce interviewed Brady's friends, family, coaches, and teammates. He interviewed Brady (notably for Sports Illustrated's 2005 Sportsman of the Year cover article). And then he got the one thing he needed to truly take Brady's measure: 2005 turned out to be the toughest Patriots season in five years.
