Best Chinese delivery in West Hollywood?
- t
- thegrifter Oct 7, 2007 08:02 PM
I'm curious to know what the consensus is on the best Chinese delivery in West Hollywood. So far the only place that I think qualifies as truly good is Hunan Cafe, but that woman is just so hostile sometimes...
You might be able to get Genghis Cohen to deliver, if you're on the east side of WeHo. West Hollywood is pretty much a desert for any kind of quality ethnic food, other than Russian, honestly... and the general consensus about Chinese food west of the 101 is "only when absolutely unavoidable", the exception being BBQ Unlimited #2, which is just barely west of the 101 on Melrose.
re: Das Ubergeek
I tried ordering a delivery from Genghis Cohen a few weeks ago, and they don't do it. They contract out for their deliveries, and I was told to call another number to arrange it. There's a fee, of course...can't remember how much. I didn't bother.
re: katydid13
I love Hunan, but I know exactly what you are talking about. Luckily, she's only gone mental on us once, but I've heard stories...I don't know of any other good Chinese in the area.
re: ahuacatl
Thanks ahuactl. I ordered once from KP Bistro and found it unimpressive, but I'll try it again. Anything to avoid Rice. Mandarette on Beverly delivers and is not your traditional Chinese delivery food, but it's edible. Only problem is the high prices.
I don't think they'd deliver to me, but anyone else like Twin Dragon? I know there are haters out there, but I think it delivers for traditional, basic americanized Chinese food.
I also like Hop Woo on Olympic and Sepulveda.
re: thegrifter
I once ordered from a place in the Beverly Connection (can't remember the name)...but it was acceptable.
re: thegrifter
Mao's Kitchen just left a delivery flier at our door. I think they are in the old Tommy Tang space way over on Melrose. I've eaten at the Venice location a few times and I think with the reasonable prices, I'll have to give them a try. I don't know how far west they deliver, I'm actually surprised that they will come as far us.
thegrifter - we used to order from Rice, many years ago, but we stopped after one of their delivery guys sued us (you don't want to know, but my advice is; carry out can save you a lot more money/time than you might imagine).
Also - as bad (or overpriced) as the Chinese in WeHo might be, I had Hamburger Hamlet the other day and I would eat WeHo Chinese every day for 100 years before going back. What a disaster that was.
re: ahuacatl
The delivery guy sued you? Are you Elaine Benes?
re: wutzizname
Ha. Not Elaine, but yes he sued. It took years to resolve, many, many days wasted with lawyers, lots of hand-wringing and he was awarded nothing. If you are a homeowner or have any assets, you might not want food delivered to your house.
re: ahuacatl
wow, I've never had any sort of problem with Rice. They're super fast, I don't think they have a delivery charge or a minimum order amount. And the food is actually pretty good! But if you're looking for a good eggroll, believe it or not, Natalee Thai is one of my favorites (and they deliver too!)
re: hdalsy
We were regular customers of theirs for many, many years. I agree, tasty food and quick. I'm not going to expand on the 'incident', but I'll never order from them or eat there again. It was the driver, not the restaurant, but it kinda ruined it for us. I'll repeat, millions of dollars, lawyers, days & days wasted.
re: ahuacatl
Mao's on Melrose in AMAZING! It's my favorite Chinese food hands down. I've gotten delivery a few times and never had a problem. They'll even deliver their home made ginger ale.
re: ahuacatl
Ugh. I don't like Kung Pao. It's nasty!
Chinese in WeHo is pretty bad all around, but if I were FORCED to do Chinese in the area, I would only trust Mandarette on Beverly.
re: goodhealthgourmet
The NY eggroll quest has been done and redone, much of it by Das Ubergeek and me:
See links:
The bottom line is that Genghis Cohen is really the closest I've found (though hardly a steller representation of the breed)... though I have not tried Das Ubergeek's China Village find in Fullerton.
Be wary of those non-NY native chowhounds who, though well intended, would lead you to inferior approximations. Case in point: the highly recommended 'eggrolls' at Canton Kitchen in Mar Vista which turned out to be basically a batter dipped deep fried meatball. It was actually pretty tasty, but definitely not at all what you and I are looking for.
Mr Taster
Protect Chowhound
Boycott Avatars!
re: Mr Taster
It's true that Genghis Cohen's are New York-like in style, however I have found them to have an overwhelming ONION flavor to them which was very unappealing.
re: Mr Taster
i know, i've read all the other threads before...but i couldn't remember if hunan cafe had already been discussed, and i just didn't hve the patience to read through them again.
thx for confirming - i remembered that you said genghis cohen was the closest approximation.
i'm headed to north jersey & nyc in a couple of weeks...want me to bring you guys back a care package?
re: goodhealthgourmet
NO!!!! We ordered from Hunan Cafe tonight --- the food was pretty tasty, but the egg rolls were definitely not NY style.
re: Obessed
thanks for the warning.
re: Obessed
Hunan Cafe does have fairly good cold sesame noodles but not NY egg rolls.
re: hawjack
I agree...I live up the street from here so delivery for me is easy, but I used to live in WeHo and the Le Mandarette delivery area is pretty wide--they will deliver to pretty much anywhere east of La Cienega in WeHo and anywhere north of Melrose.
According to gridskipper.com... the top 8 chinese delivery places in Los Angeles, six of which deliver to WeHo:
(Oh and Genghis Cohen and Wok Master are there)
re: Jennalynn
Fortune West on Fairfax, really? Can anyone confirm or deny the validity of this claim? I live right around the corner but have never tried it becuase there's almost never anybody in there.
re: wutzizname
I can absolutely invalidate (is that a word? probably not) Fortune West being good. It is not. That gridskipper article is garbage.
re: thegrifter
That's what I suspected. Thanks for the invalidation.
re: thegrifter
I've ordered from there before and sometimes they are really good. I like their kung pao chicken and orange chicken. But if they think I'm asian than the food seems to taste better, spicier, and flavorful. But if they think I'm white, it comes in sweet, cold, and gummy.
re: Liquid Sky
hunan cafe is good but i have problems every time i order from there. one time the woman said "too busy" and just hung up. that really wasn't that bad, i can live with that. but the last time i ordered, the delivery came and the guy said "$4 delivery charge". i said, "no one mentioned that to me on the phone" and he said "it's always that way", which is not true, never happened before when i ordered. i live really close too.
anyway, maybe i should just do carry out next time.
re: thegrifter
We almost ordered from Hunan for the first time, but after reading the "too busy" sentence out loud (in character), I was outvoted. We walked over to Chin Chin. I've never loved this place, but the General Tso's Chicken they gave us was nasty. It tasted okay, but it was all skin, cartilage and I don't know what. I know it's not supposed to be boneless chicken breast, I've eaten it plenty of times and from Chin Chin too, but a foot or a beak wouldn't have been out of place in this one.
I had a bad food weekend. At least a care package of handmade chocolate truffles just showed up.
re: ahuacatl
Don't get me started on Chin Chin. How is this place in business? I remember sitting there thinking "the waitstaff is nice, the decor is clean and stylish..hey there's even an attentive manager. One would think this actually a fine restaurant EXCEPT the FOOD is disgusting!?" I can't believe what people from LA will accept as "good"..shameful really.
re: mixologist
You got that right - gives Panda Express a good name!
Seriously folks, order from any Chinese restaurant of choice, yet pick up the food yourself. You will be rewarded with food that has not been sitting in a container for anywhere from 10-45 minutes, depending on how many orders the delivery person is taking at a time.
As to Kung Pao specifically, get the seafood, lamb or vegetarian dishes, or soups, yet avoid the appetizers, but do pick it up yourself.
re: carter
Sorry, Everyone. As a Chinese-American who LOVES to eat, I have to say that KUNG PAO is a SERIOUS EMBARRASSMENT to Chinese cuisine!!
re: Liquid Sky
They must be doing something right for an awful lot of people judging by the business in the place. They don't have about 10 people working in the kitchen if no one wants the product. If you have an ax to grind, then you obviously go elsewhere to eat, yet the items I referred to in my post you replied to are very fresh, very tasty, and have no msg.
Try it again.
re: carter
I've never been but my wife (who is native Taiwanese) went there once and was thoroughly offended by the offerings.
Mr Taster
re: Liquid Sky
I agree, KPB is really awful. I have tried it serveral times when folks on the board have offered it as a reasonable WeHo Chinese and been horrified each time.
re: Chowpatty
The one on Melrose Ave?
re: Liquid Sky
Yes, that's the one that delivered to our office on Wilshire. I really enjoyed the fried rice with cashews -- I think it was brown rice, so it seemed kind of healthy. Orange chicken was fine considering it had to travel, and chow mein noodles were ok. I only had a bit of the beef dishes, they seemed the weakest.
re: Chowpatty
We live so close to Mao's and I respect your Chowhound cred... so would you consider Mao's an acceptable alternative to driving to the SGV?
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
I used to live on Melrose/Martel and I would either
a) Drive to SGV, or
b) Walk or bike to Genghis Cohen
before going to Mao's.
re: Mr Taster
No! It's completely Americanized Chinese, but I was just saying that out of the places in the area we've tried that deliver, I thought it was pretty good.
I have to say California Wok is the best chinese delivery place I have found. I don't count Genghis Cohen because to me that is much more expensive than what I think most people are looking for in "delivery" food. I have found that the food is always exceptionally fresh and piping hot when delivered and the ingredients they use are really great quality. They also have really great flavors to what I assume is "americanized" Chinese food. They never let me down.
Hands down...China Catering on Beverly Blvd. at Sweetzer. Best Chinese food I've had since leaving San Francisco. Everything I've ordered there is delicious. Their delivery service is super fast and they take credit cards.
China Catering
8250 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90048
Phone: (323) 655-2288
re: foodfever
Its good. Get the delivery, avoid eating there. They have 3 tables with filthy pink table cloths covered with almost clean glass tops. I had to ask for a metal fork and spoon. Food served in styrofoam.
The Green Tea House on Sunset is good and everytime I have ordered delivery they've been nice and pretty quick.
Has anyone tried Panda's Delivery? They are generally reliable and deliver til 10p with ok chinese american food.
Though a tad expensive, I do generally like Mandarette but have lately been ordering from Mao's on Melrose. The shrimp & spinach rolls or duplings are very tasty. And I customize one of their noodle dishes to make it more like my brother in law's Singapore noodles. Some dishes miss but I've generally been really pleased.
re: cinzia
I agree with the Mao's assessment. We order from them about once a week when we're too lazy to walk to Genghis. (As mentioned above, Kung Pao is bad; we went off Chinese food for a while).
Their "Peace Not War Wonton Soup" (all the names are clever and communist-y) is excellent; filled with veggies. My significant other has not been able to find a place in LA that will make Kung Pao hot enough for him and he finally found it. It pleases him every time he takes a bite and catches on fire...
re: outshined
In all LA?
Has he tried the real Sichuan restos in San Gabriel? They will make it Ma LA (numb spicy) as it sould be.
The GREEN TEA -Hands down, for delivery. Dont judge a book by its cover, just a little place next to laundromat on Sunset blvd/Pointsettia best beef/broccoli and orange chicken around. VERY FAST delivery too great lunch specials

Apr 23, 2012There seems to be a kind of knee jerk response from critics to many HBO shows: they must be good because they are HBO. Meanwhile, as here, there is a definite disconnect between professional critics and viewers. My bias runs the other way.. Based on history -- The Sopranos, The Wire, Sex and the City, Curb your Enthusiasm, etc. -- I take a more "prove it" stance. I want HBO to prove it still has it. This is the cable network that set the bar after all. "Girls" is simply not up to standards. Watch the first scene again. If this were not HBO, and you hadn't been told by critics and others that it is fantastic, would you watch beyond that scene?… Expand
Apr 19, 2012I'm not a big fan of nepotism, but I'm fair and will give credit where credit is due. That said, there is very little credit due here. Just rich kids trying to feel something real, giving up and just faking it. A lot of critics will give a project credit because of its pedigree. It's called the Halo Effect, when something's value is raised just because of the hands that touched it. That's happening here and people will continue to defend it for a while but as the viewers flee so will all support. It's technically polished but still just a fart in the wind.… Expand
Apr 23, 2012HBO should spare its subscribers! This meandering, rarely clever dramedy has clearly failed to catch on with viewers, just like Dunham's awful film (Tiny Furniture). Sometimes, critics (especially older ones) are so sheltered that anything representing a young lifestyle they're unaware of is suddenly considered brilliant. The world didn't need another Diablo Cody, yet here we are again.
Apr 18, 2012This is legitimately one of the worst shows I have ever seen on television, and it frightens me that HBO would have this on their otherwise respectable network. I am in awe that Judd Apatow was involved with this, as he's usually hilarious. The acting is stale, the lead characters are privileged, dumb and annoying and there is scarcely any humour to the show. It's just about a pathetic, whiny rich girl. If you think this is intelligent humour, you're probably the type of person who reads "Into Thin Air" and thinks they've climbed everest. Poor writing, poor acting, poor everything. This is extremely shallow, unintelligent, bland, repetitive crap. Stay away.… Expand
Apr 20, 2012The show is ok. Its a rip off between freaks and geeks and sex and the city.
I do not think this will ever be an International sensation.
It could turn out to be interesting but i am not really that into to go any further.
The lead is annoying.
Apr 22, 2012We're welcomed to the show with a run of the mill conversation between an average american brat and its unforgiving parents whom have suddenly decided to cut off life support rendering said brat to throw an inconclusive tantrum from which nothing is resolved, the title screen rolls 'GIRLS' and before any are formally introduced, we already find ourselves disliking them all.
A few awkward transitions later we're presented with a failed attempt of affection between two of what appears to be a triad of mentally stunted individuals under a single roof. Two of them deciding upon bathing mutually, likely to cut expenses that were forfeited to purchase a cupcake the more androgynous of the two engulfs while assuring the other that her boyfriend must have a vagina because he's chemically drawn to a **** who confirms to those watching she knows nothing of the opposite sex as she discusses men in an elementary fashion while she walks down the street with her equally confused sidekick.
Another awkward conversation follows between the seemingly clueless female and her boss as they discuss the potential of herself being officially hired by the company on a permanent basis, he proceeds to take a dump on the idea of her future opportunity and sends her on her merry way frowning like she just soiled her diaper we begin to feel an ounce of sympathy for the girl and pray to the conclusion that she'll finally get her **** together until we see her dwindle into the arms of a pimply white knight who knows exactly what to say to get her to remove her panties to silence their incompatibility and life confusions leaving a feeling of disgust inside our body as we're left to witness him take advantage of her reproductive orifice.
The camera shoots back to her apartment where her roomates are boring each other to death and cracking awkward jokes until ms. haven't a clue walks through the door apparently smelling of so much sex it overpowers the stale stench emitting from all currently known characters until we're treated to a bathroom **** fight between best friend and british newcomer which is just enough to get you half stiff until we find out one girl is already pregnant and ofcourse by accident because none of these girls have what it takes to even take care of a goldfish.
So, if you're interested in further speculation of twenty four year olds leeches who act they're four years old. I recommend you stay tuned.… Expand
Apr 25, 2012For all the froth collecting around this show regarding its excessive nepotism, racial exclusiveness/insensitivity, sloppily uninspired and weird sex, etc., what really matters for a viewer in the end is that the show just isn't any good. The characters are uninteresting, not relateable; the script tries but isn't actually funny; the question you'll keep asking yourself over and over will overwhelmingly be "Who cares?" Seriously, Who cares? I'm giving it a 1 for providing the service of helping to more easily identify really dumb people without having to seriously engage them ("Girls" fans are sort of like the people reading Thomas Friedman books on the subway... except dumber and more vapid).… Expand
May 16, 2012The clever dialogue is enough to keep me entertained, but the characters are so well crafted that I can't help but care deeply for them. I await each episode with great anticipation.
May 29, 2012I found GIrls to be a refreshing comedy. The jokes are hilarious and scenes very real. Unlike several modern comedies, the characters feel very real, and relatable. The scenes can be very awkward - but don't leave me hiding under my cover in embarrassment.
Apr 22, 2012WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE WANT TO WATCH A SHOW ABOUT RICH SPOILED WHITE PEOPLE? NOTHING IS GOOD ABOUT THIS SHOW AND THE CRITICS ARE DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT'S GOOD OR BAD.
Apr 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They should just title this show Sex and the City: Next Generation but that would insult the former show. What is it about a fantasy New York setting that captivates women to make them actually move to New York to try to create this fantasy that doesn't exist? Stay in the suburbs spoiled white women this is not the real New York. Sex and the City at least had likable characters. I was hoping all of them would get run over by a NYC taxicab. It is amazing how the 4 characters fit right into the Sex and the City stereotype characters. Oh the one that is a virgin is soooo Charlotte and so on. This is waste of earth resources.… Expand
Apr 15, 2012I usually hate and I mean passionately hate shows like this, however...This show lives up to it's hype. Thoughtfully written and the jokes vary from lighthearted to unexpectedly hilarious. Count me in for episode 2.
Feb 17, 2013Over-rated self-conscious self-obsessed show about unsympathetic over-privileged girls. So what's to like? My god, these girls are in the 5% of the world and well into the 1% of the world. Why would anyone care about their whining?
Jan 8, 2013This is an addendum to my previous review, which is stated far more elegantly than anything I said. It is by the author David Foster Wallace, who talks about the "shallow rebelliousness of TV. Irony and ridicule are effective and entertaining but are at the same time agents of a great despair and stasis..." The full quote is below. I find this show to be too ironic, too full of ridicule and yet at the same time, totally static. ______________________
Wallace's fiction is often concerned with irony. His essay "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction",[33] originally published in the small-circulation Review of Contemporary Fiction in 1993, proposes that television has an ironic influence on fiction writing, and urges literary authors to eschew TV's shallow rebelliousness: "I want to convince you that irony, poker-faced silence, and fear of ridicule are distinctive of those features of contemporary U.S. culture (of which cutting-edge fiction is a part) that enjoy any significant relation to the television whose weird pretty hand has my generation by the throat. I'm going to argue that irony and ridicule are entertaining and effective, and that at the same time they are agents of a great despair and stasis in U.S. culture, and that for aspiring fictionists they pose terrifically vexing problems." Wallace used many forms of irony, but focused on individuals' continued longing for earnest, unselfconscious experience and communication in a media-saturated society.[34] Literary critic Adam Kirsch said that Wallace's "self-conscious earnestness" and "hostility to irony defined a literary generation… Expand
May 9, 2012This is a tough show to love, but not easy to hate either. Yes, the characters do come off as spoiled babies for the most part, and their problems seem pretty shallow compared to what others in this country are going through right now. At the same time, I would be lying (and I think some of you other reviewers would be, too) if I didn't admit I see at least some of my own (unfortunate, but still real) everyday shallowness within these characters. In that sense, it's hard for me to be too judgemental of them, lest I be a hypocrite. However, I would like to see these characters grow and become less shallow as their lives go on. Not that the (mostly) witty dialogue or smart situations need to change in the process, but I don't want to see characters a couple of seasons from now (if by some chance this show makes it that far) that are just as narcissistic as they are now. Overall, I think "Girls" has promise but is a long way off from being something great.… Expand
May 7, 2012Don't understand the recent backlash against this show. I wish I didn't have to compare it to Sex and the City, but all the critics already are. In short this show is for 20-somethings what Sex and the City tried to be for 30-something career women. Whats more, Girls seems to be attracting fans from both sexes, which I don't think you could claim about Sex and the City.
It's thoughtful and specific, it's seinfeldian in its quick discovery and interrogation of a world with completely new mannerisms - ones now found in the wild ubiquity of smart phones, laptops, mp3 players.
It also presents four very different, well-rounded, and interesting characters in believable situations. For all those who are immediately turned off by the critique that the show is "white people problems", I'd ask why you weren't talking about that when sex and the city was on. Next, I'll have some questions for you about any cop, doctor, or lawyer show you might watch (they inevitably feature lead characters who are just as white as those in Girls, but a lot more rich, judging by their apartments.
There is a totally different sociality which this generation interfaces with - it is tragedy and destabilizing anxiety that eventually leads to self criticism for feeling bad. A weird kind of neurosis in which you're unsure how to characterize the experience - am I sad? - have I a right to be sad? Even the feelings are afterthoughts. Girls is the first show I've seen to generate that in a pitch perfect way - the showender that was funny on its face, but for some reason, made you feel depressed and incapable as well.… Expand
Apr 17, 2012Let's remember that a lot of people use their DVR and may not have watched this show on Sunday night but perhaps watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it on Monday night. This show is so funny! I really like the show. The girls are "real". Not everyone is a size 0 in the world nor does everyone have wealthy families that help them forever. I am really looking forward to the next episode. I don't know where the 87 came from. I would definitely give it at least a 99.… Expand
May 6, 2012OMG I can not believe this show has such strong reviews. Plus it's not just on TV it's on HBO so it must be good. Well, it's not! I watched the first episode and didn't enjoy it at all. But it was highly rated and on HBO so I thought I would give it another chance. I then watched the second episode all the way through and that was it. I can take no more. There is nothing interesting about this show at all. At least from my point of view.… Expand
May 28, 2012Main characters are stupid and make pointless decisions and I don't care about them. They annoy me and I'm sure they will annoy most level headed people.
Nov 30, 2012Intolerably bad. Seriously. I didn't just watch the first scene of episode 1 & get sick to my stomach either. I forced myself to watch the entire season & to remain "open minded". What a complete waste of time. I guess if you're into complete **** or if you're an old fogey that wants to live vicariously through these zero- dimensional characters, then have at it.
Apr 16, 2012Like musiqfanatic, I was prepared to be strongly annoyed by the show - the lead character in particular. But the first episode won me over. There's an authentic, non-cliched feel to it. I'm looking forward to getting to know her and her circle of friends. One issue - I like Peter Scolari as her father, but her mother is a miss. I won't get specific as to the why - it's too harsh.
Apr 23, 2012Ignore the nay-Sayers: "Girls" is brilliant and Lena Dunham is a major talent. Painfully, brutally honest and, above all, funny. You will see yourself somewhere in the first two episodes.
May 31, 2012I wasn't expecting much when I began watching the first episode, but it took me by surprise. The writing is quite clever and I was really impressed by Lena Dunham who is not only the show's creator, but one of the main characters. She's witty, self-deprecating, and raw. As a New Yorker and someone who understands this generation, this show is a genuine portrayal of white, female over-privilaged post-graduates. You sympathize with them and at the same time you cringe at them. Definitely give this show a go.… Expand
Apr 29, 2012Girls is a triumph of excellent directing, memorable dialogue and characters who are as close to a realistic interpretation of many today's young adults as you're going to get on any TV show. The opening scene of the first episode sets the tone for the main character and the whole show; this is not a character designed to be "likable" or "relatable" to a large audience, it's a character to study and a character to laugh at. The amount of self-delusion, entitlement and awkwardness is a perfect recipe for comedic situations and dialogue on almost every front. Just from two episodes it's obvious HBO has hit the jackpot with this one. I'm just incredibly disappointed at the audience members who actually think a character being "unlikable" is a bad thing.… Expand
Jul 11, 2012Usually I pay metacritic's user score more heed than I do the actual critic score. This is because I find people obsessed with critic ratings to be the best critics out there. They know not to put all your eggs in the basket of one critic, but coming to metacritic also means they appreciate incite that critics offer. In the case of Girls, the metacritic user base has completely and utterly failed me. I have not seen such an innovative style for a show in a long time. The humor is wry and witty, while somehow managing to be equally vulgar. The issues and the characters feel real. I was not going to give this show a chance after I saw the extremely low Metacritic user score (at the time it was like 5.X), but my wife loved it, so I gave it a try. I'm really glad I did because it by far my favorite comedy of 2012.… Expand
Apr 24, 2012Let me just say, I love this show. Although there are only two episodes, this skilled ensemble has managed to be incredibly involving, funny, and surprisingly substantial- which many funny shows often forget to do. It is a brilliant commentary on the life of a middle-class girl trying navigate the struggle for independence in a time when a college degree is about as useful as, let's say, a curling iron. I love the witty banter and utter lack of pretense. I hope that it only gets better, as I think it will!… Expand
Apr 22, 2012I first learned about this new TV show while watching an episode of Chelsea Lately, where Lena Dunham was the special guest on the show. I was intrigued by the way Chelsea Handler raved about this show that I decided to give it a try and watch it. From the beginning scene of the daughter and parents sitting at the dinner table, as the parents proceed to tell their daughter she's being financially cut off, I feel most 20 something year olds can relate very well to this scene. The writing on this show is one of a kind, yes this show is geared more towards woman, nevertheless this show has spunk, and I highly recommended it to my friends or to at least give it a try.… Expand
Apr 16, 2012Girls is a great work not only of television but of literature of the English language. While other TV shows portray young people as having lives of wealth, glamor, and hot sex, this series dares to display the painful economic and social realities of recent college graduates of 2012. It is easy to identify with and care about every character, even though some characters are indeed harsh; Hannah's mother may seem cruel, but if my daughter were sitting in front of me, high on Opium, asking for $1100 per month, I would be harsh too. Where this show is really spot on is its portrayal of how young women view relationships with men; they complain about guys who are insensitive and uncaring, yet they sleep with these very men - then a woman who has a nice boyfriend jokes that "he has a vagina".… Expand
May 30, 2012This series is a must see for both young adults as well as parents. For once there is a show that actually shows how girls are for real. From trivial drama to life changing decisions, through trying so incredibly hard to please other people just to be loved and all that self obsessed me, me, me indulgence that most 20 somethings have to go through at some point in order to pass into adult life, wiser and hopefully as a better person. It's witty, right to the point and very addictive, with characters that you love to hate and then love some more. And most of all; it sure is a breath of fresh air for all those girls and women out there trying to fit their feet in to Carries expensive uncomfortable shoes, thinking life is like "Sex and the City", when actually for most people, it is more like "Girls". Watch, and love!… Expand
Aug 22, 2013Intrigued by rave reviews and against my best judgement, I decided to give it a go. Turns out, this show is just as bad as I expected. The story revolves around four younger, poorer and charm-free versions of the notorious Sex & the City women.
Said "girls" are depressed (and depressing) whiners, unable to earn a living and clueless about life and love. Granted we were probably behaving in a similar irrational way during our twenties, however, I do not watch TV shows to be reminded of the most difficult time of my life.
The sex scenes are cringe-inducing. Probably more "realistic" than your average filmed, mainstream sex, but then again, who needs to witness so many scenes of humiliation and awkwardness?
I can vaguely see the appeal for those in the same age-frame. I see none for everybody else. About the rave reviews… honestly no clue whatsoever how they got to be written.… Expand
Overall, the season gets off to a very strong--and interesting--start. The writing is deepening along with the relationships depicted.
May 7, 2012Four episodes in, and Girls is still packing tons of jaw-dropping, head-shaking, eyebrow-raising scenes into 30 minutes each Sunday night.

Rene Meulensteen believes the gameplan for United's Champions League game against Aalborg should be to score early and "kill their belief".
The Reds' first-team coach faced Aalborg twice during his time as coach of Brondby and revealed they are a hard-working, disciplined side who will gain more confidence the longer they keep United's attack at bay.
"Aalborg typify Danish football as a whole – well organised," Meulensteen told ManUtd.com. "They will work their socks off against us because if they don't, we will have too much quality for them.
"So we need to make sure we have enough tools available to break them down. We need to win the game in the first half by starting bright and sharp, and if we score an early goal we'll kill some of their belief. If they have something to hold onto like they did at Celtic, they'll get extra energy from nowhere."
Brondby failed to beat Aalborg in either of their two league meetings under Meulensteen's reign two years ago, so the Dutchman knows United must not take their opponents lightly.
"Erik Hamrén was Aalborg's coach for several years and did a good job. They were a decent side when we faced them – we drew 1-1 at their place but lost 2-1 at home," Meulensteen added.
"Bruce Rioch is now in charge and he's an experienced coach who knows Danish football, having worked with Odense. He has several good players here, although one of the best, Michael Jakobsen, isn't playing tonight because he is suspended.
"They also have an attacking midfielder, Siyabonga Nomvethe, who has been injured recently but was quite skilful and tricky when he played against us at Brondby.
"Goalkeeper Karim Zaza is a bit of an erratic player who can make fantastic saves – one from a Nakamura free-kick two weeks ago – but he's not the biggest of players and isn't always 100% certain on crosses.

Books for the brave 2013
By Kathy Pillatzki
In the mood for a haunting read this fall? Check out these new arrivals at your nearest Henry County public library!
Some of the modern masters of horror have new books out. Anne Rice has just released Wolves of Midwinter, which continues the story she began in last year's The Wolf Gift. This time, the werewolves are celebrating Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?
In Doctor Sleep, Stephen King revisits the characters from his 1977 classic The Shining. This time the focus is on Danny Torrance, son of the crazy-terrifying main character in the original. Critics love this one, calling it vintage, good-vs.-evil King. (True confession: I can't read King. Too creepy.)
Laurel K. Hamilton has a new addition to the Amanda Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It's hard to pin this series to one genre – horror, urban fantasy, occult mystery? At any rate, in Affliction, the vampire hunters have to face down a new challenge: zombies.
But if you want authentic, classic, keep-you-awake-at-night horror, look for the reissue of The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Tales by H.P. Lovecraft. Originally published in the 1930s, this collection of short stories includes the author's best-known works, including "The Dunwich Horror" and "Beyond the Wall of Sleep." This newest edition is edited by Guillermo del Toro, co-author of the also-terrifying Strain trilogy.
Probably no one group loves a good, spin-chilling tale more than teens, and lately I've had a lot to say about the high quality of books being published for this age group. Several authors have new releases in a series, including P.C. Cast. Revealed is the eleventh volume in the House of Night vampire series.
The lines between dreams, reality and magic are constantly shifting in Maggie Stiefvater's The Dream Thieves, sequel to 2012's The Raven Boys. Darren Shan also has a new entry in his Zom-B series, Zom-B Baby. This follows his Cirque du Freak series, which was wildly popular with teens.
Holly Black, probably best known for the Spiderwick Chronicles for young readers, has a new standalone for teens, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. In this richly imagined tale, coldtowns are Vegas-like walled cities – glamorous, but also dark and dangerous - where vampires are segregated from humans. When Tana's boyfriend is bitten by a vampire, only a courageous journey into the heart of a coldtown may save him.
Robin Wasserman tries her hand at Stephen King-style small town horror with The Waking Dark, a combination murder mystery, thriller, and fast-paced action tale. Reviewers have called it brutal, chilling, ominous, and impossible to put down.
Other new arrivals include The Haunting of Gabriel Ashe by Dan Poblocki, Extremities by David Lubar, and A Midsummer Night's Scream by R.L. Stine.
Coming soon: The latest in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series is The Shadowhunter's Codex, due out on October 29. Rachel Caine will release Daylighters, number 15 in the Morganville Vampires series, on November 5. Venom, a more traditional murder mystery intriguingly set in Renaissance Venice, is the first in a new series by Fiona Paul, due October 30.

was looking to make my first foray into a raised heel shoe and am considering several different kinds including Adidas power perfects, but can't seem to find any info about the heel height of the shoe. I'm favoring 3/4" heel since it's a bit lower than some and I don't want to go super high considering i've never squatted in a raised heel before.
any help is much appreciated.

Nice place in Orange County for Pre valentines Dinner
- mucknet Feb 8, 2010 04:47 PM
Hey Folks --
We're going to be visiting Orange County on Saturday the 13th for a cirque du soleil show in Irvine. We already have plans to go to the Bayside restaurant in Newport Beach for brunch on Sunday, but I'm looking for a special restaurant for Saturday night. I don't know the area at all, so your help is appreciated! Budget is ~$200 for 2 people, but a high price alone isn't going to impress us. We're looking for the tastiest food that Orange County has to offer.
Charlie Palmer- Costa mesa- Elegant sophisticated food. I believe you can do a Chef's tasting menu here for around 80pp
Marche Moderne - South Coast Plaza - Has a beautiful outdoor seating area that would be quiet romantic- Excellent food. Have had plenty of great meals here.
Tradition by Pascal - Newport Beach/Costa Mesa - Small, cozy, intimate. Probably the best French Food in Orange County.
I'm going to buck the "fancy continental" and suggest that you go for upscale Vietnamese. While my favourite is Xanh Bistro (see elmomonster's review this week in the OC Weekly, but know that he failed to mention the banana blossom salad of wonderfulness), S Vietnamese Fine Dining will do you a great meal in an upscale environment, despite the location outside the mall. (If you go to S Vietnamese, make sure to ask for the separate vegetarian menu, which is even better than the meat eater's menu.)
It's something that LA really doesn't have much of... and both will get you out under $200 even with wine. (You'd have a hard time spending half that at Xanh, incidentally.)
Xanh Bistro
16161 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley, CA 92708
S Vietnamese Fine Dining
545 Westminster Mall, Westminster, CA 92683
I just tried Marche Moderne at SCP today, and I was quite impressed. I bet this will be a great place for your romantic dinner. If you want something different (and want to stay in Irvine), try Taleo for an elegant Mexican dinner. Or if you're ready to trek down PCH a bit for a lovely seaside dinner, try Ti Amo (Italian) or C'est la Vie (French) in Laguna Beach for quite the romantic dinner that shouldn't break your bank. :-)
re: atdleft
Love the Old Vine, even more for its very casual atmosphere. Never been to a restaurant where so many people seem to be having such a good time...
re: lawdog262
Oh yes, that's the truth... But there's something quite magical about going to Old Vine in the morning when the sun is starting to break through the marine layer and most of the "noise" is being made by the giant wind chime outside.
But anyway, Old Vine is also a solid pick for dinner. I guess I just don't make it here often after 5:00 PM because by then there are so many other solid picks in the SCP area.
re: atdleft
If you can tear yourself away for b'fast from here, you might try Break of Dawn:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/674426 | Break of Dawn - Laguna Hills
re: ocshooter
Yes, I recommended the place for b'fast, not dinner. =)
Based upon your criteria, two alternatives readily stand above the crowd:
Marche Moderne
3333 Bristol Street, #3001
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
(714) 434-7900
Upstairs on the back side of South Coast Plaza by Macy's. Chef Florent Marchand and his amiable wife Amelia do a herculean job in bringing top-notch French cuisine to SoCal. Look for sweetbreads (veal thymus glands), pork belly and foie gras on the menu for lunch and dinner. The $25, 3-Course Lunch Spontanee is a super deal, saving you about 50% if ordered separately. Florent is hands-on in the open kitchen daily and his presence is felt in every bite. Amelia is a certified pastry chef in the French tradition and her creations are marvelous. Voted by an overwhelming margin by Chowhounds as Orange County's ultimate restaurant for 2009, indeed a laudable accomplishment.
Tradition by Pascal
1000 N Bristol St
Newport Beach, CA 92660
(949) 263-9400
Pascal Olhats is one of Orange County's most respected and celebrated chefs. Lunch or dinner at his flagship restaurant, Tradition, is virtually an assurance of enjoying one of the finest meals anywhere. Tradition recently underwent a facelift in both décor and expanded menu offerings. My long time favorites remain – escargot, foie gras, sweetbreads, bouillabaisse and the best sea bass I've ever eaten. An excellent wine list and superb desserts round out your fine dining experience. Never a disappointment in over 15 years.
Bon Appetit!
re: degustateur
At this point, it would be easier to get a reservation @ Tradition/Pascal than @ Marche Moderne.
Where are you staying? Tabu in Laguna Beach is fantastic, and Watermarc has been getting good notices. I can't give an opinion on that one until after I eat there tomorrow night though. The show is at the Great Park on the edge of nowhere in Irvine, and I have heard that the traffic in and out is terrible (I do drive by it and can see the long line of cars). You are pretty close to Laguna Canyon, so heading to Watermarc, 230 Forrest, Sorrento Grill or some other place in Laguna might actually be quicker than South Coast for March Moderne or Charlie Plamer or the other end of Irvine for Pascal.
re: ocshooter
Well, I've now had dinner at Watermarc and it is not on my list of recommended spots. I would not try to talk anyone out of it, I just didn't think it was all that great.
Wow! So many great responses! I didn't get any emails saying I had responses, so I assumed no one responded! I'm overwhelmed. I'm going to go through them right now, and I will be SURE to post back our results :)
Thanks so much.
Edit: At the moment, after looking at the menu's, Here is how I"m leaning:
Tradition by Pascal, Old Vine, and then Marche Moderne.
And maybe the Xahn Bistro for lunch :)
Thanks folks, agian I'll make sure to update with wherever we eat :)

designBytes 05.14.12
Welcome to designBytes, the electronic newsletter of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). Here's the latest design and design-related news we've collected from around the Web.
· Alleged Copy Gets Pasted: HP held a press conference in Shanghai last week so VP of Industrial Design Stacy Wolff could talk about the company's Chinese design operations. The event turned into a critique on the Envy Spectre XT and its alleged similarities to the MacBook Air. Did HP copy Apple? Wolff said, "No." And he provided some logic to support his answer. Do you buy it? Engadget has more on Wolff's position: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/09/hp-apple-laptop-design-similarity/.
· The iPad You Can Drive (Or Drive With): We trust you heard that GM announced its plan to sell a pre-loaded iPad with the 2013 Cadillac XTS. The device is meant to provide an extra touch point for helping users understand the new Cadillac User Experience (CUE) interface. Also, it's a nice marketing trick for a luxury brand. Could it mean anything for car design? Hard to say. One observer believes GM will soon trickle down some of the CUE to its cars representing its other brands. Stay tuned. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1075939_cadillacs-cue-likely-to-migrate-to-other-gm-products.
· Business Does Good: Don't expect to see business or business leaders teaming up with Iron Man, Black Widow and Captain America for the Avengers sequel. But don't be surprised to see more and more stories where the power of business is used to end poverty and perform other heroic acts. IDEO.org is certainly leading the charge on this one. Additionally, a recent poll of UK business leaders revealed 91 percent believe their companies can be more effective in advancing social change by building it into their core operations—as opposed to donating to charity. Here's some insight on how social impact is becoming part of the business mainstream: http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679783/can-businesses-actually-make-the-world-better-while-making-money.
· Redesigning Designed in the USA Logo: An old saying goes, "Ask 10 designers for their opinions and you'll get 20 answers." So you can imagine the response when the Designed in the USA initiative unveiled its logomark earlier this year. Consequently, there's a new campaign to redesign the logo—and it's open for public submissions. It ends June 3. So get to sketching! http://www.core77.com/blog/competition/redesign_challenge_designed_in_usa_logomark__22386.asp.
· The Future of Making Things: If you're looking for models of what it will be like to make things in the future, start on Boston's Route 128, also known as the Product Lifecycle Management Highway. You should probably also visit Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine where a number of design entrepreneurs are setting up shop. And, if you can get across the pond, spend time with a German furniture maker who could be both your collaborator and your competitor. One small business owner did the last one and here's what he reported back: http://boss.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/10/i-have-seen-the-future-of-manufacturing/.
· iDo and weDo, Too: In a world full of acronyms, STEM education models could rise quite naturally from SEED thinking. How would that work in practice? We'd look to Marty Linder's long-running iDo program that pairs San Francisco State University students with Bay Area high school students to imbue the latter school's curriculum with healthy doses of design thinking and design practice. Here's video of some of Marty's students in action: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/7199296-jefferson-award-winner-martin-linder/.
· PARC: 10 Years Later: A decade has passed since Xerox spun off its famed Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). How is business at the venture that was once thought to be profit-averse? Not bad actually. The company did 41 commercial deals in 2011 and is said to have turned a profit on $60 million in sales for 2010. Forbes checks in with a story on the Xerox company that is known simply as PARC: http://www.forbes.com/sites/connieguglielmo/2012/05/14/parc-10-years-after-xerox-spin-off-says-its-all-about-innovation/.
· I Want My ___ TV: What separates the experience of using today's TV sets from using TV sets of the 1960s? Apart from the natural evolution of the form factor to accommodate new technology, the experience is still kinda turn on-tune in-drop out. The promises of modularity, ambience and highly interactive models have not yet been realized. According to new research presented last week from Israel's NDS, that should change—and soon. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-11/want-to-reinvent-tv-dont-forget-the-tv.
· On the Efficacy of Pens: If the late Steve Jobs predicted the extinction of the pen as an input method in 2010, why does so much new computing still require a stylus to achieve maximum impact? For one, digital pens have evolved. So has digital ink. Should one get more credit than the other? There's a thoughtful post on Laptop magazine exploring these and other questions. http://blog.laptopmag.com/was-steve-jobs-wrong-why-the-pen-won%E2%80%99t-die.
· How to Build and Ship World Class Products: That's such a great title for a talk that we'd probably want to sit in on that session 99 times out of 100—as long as the right person was speaking. If Tony Fadell—creator of the iPod and design leader behind the Nest thermostat—were delivering it, he'd be a good example of the right kind of person. That's pretty much what happened at a recent Behance conference. One attendee shared these takeways from Tony's talk: http://www.businessinsider.com/tony-fadells-advice-on-prototyping-leadership-and-innovation-2012-5.
· The Value of Design Disruptions: What could the Vietnam War possibly have in common with the Before I Die interactive public art project and peeing on a fly in Amsterdam? All three provide good examples of design disruptions if you let Andrew Shea tell it. If nothing else, you kinda have to read this one to learn how he manages to connect all three of those things. http://changeobserver.designobserver.com/feature/flies-in-urinals-the-value-of-design-disruptions/33108/.
· Pros and Cons of Being a Freelance Designer: It may be an exaggeration to assert that everyone has considered the freelance route at some point, but a whole lot of us have chewed on that thought. And a number of us have actually done it. The cons mostly concern the lack of guarantees that could come with steady employment with a company (as if being employed is itself a guarantee). And the pros mostly concern choice. This Design Juices list won't surprise, but it is quite helpful: http://www.designjuices.co.uk/2012/05/freelancing-pros-and-cons/.
· When Dieter Rams Worked at Vitsoe: There aren't too many phrases that could be combined to create a greater sens of design iconography than "Dieter Rams" and "Vitsoe." Sure, "Dieter Rams" and "Braun" come to mind. The key to both combos being "Dieter Rams." The design legend gave an epic speech in 1976 articulating the design philosophy he employed while collaborating with Vitsoe. Co.Design re-published that speech last week. If you want some timeless inspiration, make some time to read it (Ed note: Obvious apologies for not being able to import the correct character here): http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669725/dieter-rams-on-good-design-as-a-key-business-advantage.
· Guides for NY Design Week: If you're in the 212 (or 718 or 347 or 929) this week for NY Design Week, you have your choices of guides for what to do and where to go. There's at least two: Core77's guide, which is mobile this year, and there's Metropolis' guide. You can't go wrong with either one. Good luck and have fun! http://core77.com/nydesignweek/.

Why am I hated?Tuesday, June 10th, 2014
I am in 10th grade. Last year and the beginning of this year, culinary was my favorite class and I loved it. But then one day one of the girls in the class decided to hate me, and excluded me from everyone in our group. I try to be quiet around her and the group but they call me a bitch, they are pretty fucking mean. And I wish I could fight her and beat the shit out of her but she is huge compared to me, there's no way I would win. I was also really close friends with two of the girls in my group too but she turned them against me and made them hate me. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I EVER DID TO HER, WHY … Read entire post »

CAPE CORAL- The City of Cape Coral tells WINK News that the City Auditor's Office is working with Lee County to conduct an internal audit on the City's fuel management system. City officials believe that the database may not be accurate, and they have shared this information with the County auditors to further assist with their ongoing audit.
The City anticipates the first audit report by April, and no additional information can be released at this time as this is an ongoing audit. Work product associated with the audit is exempt from public disclosure until the audit is completed.
