We are barely halfway into this thing and Bonnaroo's memorable performances and highlights already seem too good to be true. In addition to 12 stages featuring live music for 18 hours a day for four days straight, the assembled press are privy to gut busting scenes of spontaneous hilarity in Bonnaroo press conferences twice daily.
Without fail, these press conferences will feature provocative observations from the panelists about their respective Bonnaroo experiences. But more often than not they will degrade into an impromptu exchange of silly quips, wacky tales from the road, and dirty jokes. Friday was no exception.
After setting the bar obscenely low for the 1pm press conference with multiple references to sex acts taking place on and off stage, it was the affable Matt + Kim who stuck around for nearly 45 minutes afterwards, smiling broadly, Happily answering more questions and posing for photographs.
The press conference itself was a chaotic and ramshackle riot that teetered on the brink of peep-show perversion for the duration. Perhaps this was no surprise as its schizophrenic panel included TV star Ed Helms and classic rocker John Oates alongside the eager upstarts Matt + Kim, Nicki Bluhm and Michael Angelakos from Passion Pit. Aside from a brief description of Oates' charity work, the discussion was a lighthearted group improvisation on the pros and cons of playing big festivals.
Helms is doing double duty at this year's Bonnaroo, presenting a comedy revue in the festival's comedy tent and hosting a Bluegrass jam on one of its main stages. Asked why he loves the banjo, Helms sighed, "I believe that banjos are very irritating and that's why banjos and comedians get along."
"Hey Ed," a smirking Oates chimed in, "Do you know why there's no banjos on Star Trek?"
"No John. Why is that?"
"Because it's the future."
Later in the day there was a 4 p.m. press conference that featured some very insightful exchanges between country rocker Jason Isbell and Jazz Fusion guitar legend John McLaughlin (pictured). The Bonnaroo crowd warmly embraced McLaughlin's evening performance in That Tent, causing the master musician to grin from ear to ear from the first notes of his set to the very last.
Though they started 30 minutes late, Rock icons ZZ Top performed a smoking midnight set in This Tent to a capacity crowd who sang along to nearly every song in the bands hit-laden set.
Friday's Bonnaroo festivities started with great promise, as we were treated to a surprise performance by Jack Johnson in the press tent. Johnson is a last-minute fill-in for headliners Mumford and Sons, who had to cancel because their bass player had a medical procedure to fix a blood clot in his brain earlier this week. Warmth and humility emanated from Johnson as he debuted two brand new songs accompanied by ALO's Zach Gill on accordion.
An hour later Trixie Whitley slithered on to the Which Stage in a long black gown and proceeded to mesmerize the mid-day crowd with her hypnotic and soulful swamp Rock. There were moments during her set when she sang with such power and pathos it literally knocked the wind out of me. The crowd was so awed by Whitley's performance they stood in a stunned silence so quiet that at times you could hear shutters clicking in the photo pit.
I don't think Chuck and I stopped laughing once during a spontaneous and hilarious 15 minutes we spent chatting with Daniel, Thomas and new drummer Johnny Colorado of the Futurebirds. We barely had time to catch our breath and regain our composure before a 4 p.m. press conference that featured comedians Michael Che and Mike Birbiglia, as well as Jason Isbell and Jazz Fusion guitar legend John McLaughlin.
Around the festival grounds today we've heard remarkable performances by Jason Isbell and 400 Unit, Nashville's Alanna Royale and Trombone Shorty.
Coming up later tonight: Wilco, Paul McCartney, ZZ Top and many more.
As Thursday began, we heard the tragic news of two people from the Tristate who were killed in an automobile accident on their way to the festival. (Five others were injured in the same crash.)
All told, Bonnaroo attendees and staff number close to 90,000 souls during peak hours. For this long weekend in June Manchester becomes the seventh largest city in Tennessee, with births and deaths on-site like one would expect in a small city over the course of any 96-hour span.
On a brighter note, this year's festival kicked off with a young couple tying the knot under the multi colored arch at Bonnaroo entrance.
In the late afternoon I wandered through Centeroo, perusing the various vendors' booths. Corporate sponsors abound, but non-profits and independent artisans dominate the Bonnaroo bazaar.
In the shadow of a Ferris wheel and psychedelic light tower a giant throng gathered in and around the area surrounding the Other Tent to greet Cincinnati's pure Pop pride and joy Walk The Moon.
Technical glitches delayed the start of their set but they had the crowd bouncing, clapping, singing along and eating out of their hands from the minute they took the stage.
WTM singer Nicholas Petricca shouted, "We're called Walk The Moon! We're from Ohio!" and the crowd roared as the band launched into their single "Tightrope." This writer has never seen a larger crowd assembled for a performance in the Other Tent and Petricca's buoyant charm and boundless energy kept the crowd pumped and jumping throughout the bands' entire performance.
Later in That Tent, Father John Misty brought the weird and the beard via his sardonic Folk Rock parables. I half-expected the depth and humor of FJM's material to sail over the heads of most Bonnaroovians but I was pleasantly surprised to hear many people singing along. A huge fan of his new Fear Fun album, I think I would have driven all the way to Tennessee just to hear Misty sing "Only Son Of The Ladiesman". He didn't make me wait long, playing it in the No. 2 slot.
(Walk the Moon hotos by Chuck Madden)
EDITOR'S NOTE: For this year's installment of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn., CityBeat sent the veteran 'Roo team of writer (and musician) Ric Hickey and photographer Chuck Madden down south again to report on the festivities. Keep an eye on this here music blog for updates, pics and more from Tennessee all 'Roo weekend. (If you can't make it to the fest, Cork n' Bottle in Covington is having a "Road to Roo" party that runs through tomorrow's festivities, with a live stream from the fest, drink specials and a rotating collection of visiting food trucks.)
Turkey vultures circled overhead as Chuck and I drove through the rolling green hills of central Tennessee between Murfreesboro and McMinnville, on our way to Manchester for the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Our circuitous route through small towns and backwoods was briefly complicated by pounding rain. But soon the skies cleared and we found our way to the media campground located behind Bonnaroo's Which Stage, happily settling into an area that's just a few minutes walk from the festival grounds.
The friendly spirit of the festival was upon us immediately as we were greeted by new friends, fellow travelers in the campground and other members of the assembled press in the backstage Media compound.
Highlights of our Thursday perambulations included Futurebirds in This Tent, a glimpse of slam-bang Country rockers Houndmouth in the On Tap Lounge and a display of first class Honky Tonk by J.D. McPherson in That Tent that stopped Chuck and me in our tracks.
McPherson had the crowd smiling and dancing to a Rockabilly hybrid that swung like a wrecking ball. Western Swing met Chicago Blues as McPherson and crew featured upright bass, B-3 organ and saxophone for a syrupy saunter through Bo Diddley's "I Wanna Try For You." McPherson himself added some tasteful Telecaster licks, bringing a warbling echo of Surf music to the mix.
Fan-shot video of McPherson swingin' through "Your Love."
Proto-Hip Hop legend/innovator Blowfly returns to Newport, Ky., tonight for a show at the York Street Cafe. The altered-ego of Clarence Reid, who wrote and produced R&B tracks for artists like Betty Wright and Wilson Pickett, "Blowfly" began releasing cult fave "adult" material in the '70s/'80s, his cool, spoken flow setting a blueprint for rappers to come.
Blowfly (who appeared at York Street Cafe last September) has continued to put out albums, notably 2006's classically ridiculous Blowfly's Punk Rock Party, which featured reworked satirical renditions of hits by The Clash ("Should I Fuck This Big Fat Ho"), The Dead Kennedys ("R. Kelly in Cambodia," featuring Jello Biafra himself as a guest) and the immortal "I Wanna Fuck Your Dog," based on The Stooges' seminal "I Wanna Be Your Dog." Reid was also the subject of the interesting and acclaimed documentary, The Weird World of Blowfly, which you can watch through Netflix.
Tonight's show kicks off at 8 p.m. and features special guests Hurricane Hot Pants and Vampire Weekend at Bernie's.
• Death Grips is a primal force of nature that seems built to subvert. Entering the world of this Sacramento-based experimental Hip Hop trio — frontman Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett, keyboardist/programming guru Andy "Flatlander" Morin and drummer Zach Hill — is akin to being trapped in a demented, all-immersive video game designed and conceived by Harmony Korine and Charles Manson. Strap in for a wild, sensory-altering ride.
Death Grips' full-length debut, The Money Store — somewhat improbably released by the bigwigs at Epic Records in April of last year — is a dense, claustrophobic head-trip marked by Burnett's rapid-fire raps, most of which are hard to discern amid the clanging sonic assault that surrounds him.
The Bomb Squad's Public Enemy heyday is an obvious touchstone, as is any number of far lesser known art-damaged outfits. A glance at the lyric sheet confirms the workings of a paranoid mind. Try this from "The Fever (Aye Aye)": "Blade cut me/Sewer drain grated/Bubonic plague/Spreaded faceless/Lurking in the deadest spaces."
The Money Store is challenging, fully-realized stuff, which makes the details of its follow-up, No Love Deep Web, released six months later, another fascinating wrinkle in the ongoing Death Grips narrative. The trio dropped the sonically spare (for these guys) album as a free download after Epic balked at releasing it so soon after The Money Store. The label supposedly hadn't even heard the finished "product." Then there's the fact that the cover art features a photo of Hill's erect penis with the album's title written on it in black magic marker.
And now for the only obvious development in Death Grips' creative trajectory to date: They have since parted ways with Epic. (Preview by Jason Gargano)
Death Grips performs tonight downtown at the Ballroom at the Taft Theatre. Ratking opens at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door.
Here's a video clip for Death Grips' "I've Seen Footage," from The Money Store.
• Josh Tillman is a funny, hyper-articulate guy with an absurdist streak that makes itself readily apparent in interviews and between-song live-show banter. Yet you wouldn't know it by listening to the seven solo albums he put out as J. Tillman from 2004 to 2010, all of which were pretty serious-minded, sonically straightforward affairs in the mold of the folkies he once supported as an open act: Damien Jurado and Richard Buckner.
"When I was 21 I wanted to be (seen as) a 40-year-old alcoholic trucker," Tillman said of his early, vanity-driven persona in a recent interview with KEXP.
Enter Father John Misty, a moniker/conceptual shift that seems to have unlocked the 32-year-old singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist's playful side. FJM performs tonight at the 20th Century Theater in Oakley. Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets are $17 at the door.
The new outfit's 2012 debut for Sub Pop, Fear Fun, is a musically diverse gem, moving from the lilting Folk of "Funtimes in Babylon" to the lush Pop gold of "Nancy From Now On" to the atmospheric rocker "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" with seamless grace.
The affecting album-closer "Everyman Needs a Companion" brings to mind a meld of the criminally underappreciated Grant Lee Buffalo and the kinda over-praised Fleet Foxes (for whom, curiously, Tillman was the drummer from 2008 to 2011). Best of all is the rollicking, twang-infested ditty "I'm Writing a Novel," which features some of Tillman's most inspired word play and impassioned singing.
Then there's Tillman's "performance" as Misty, which takes on a whole new dimension in a live setting. With his lanky frame, handsome, bearded face and slithery-hipped dancing, he conjures Jim Morrison as lounge singer — which, believe it or not, is a good thing. (Preview by Jason Gargano)
Here is the video for "Funtimes in Babylon."
Opening the show is Pure Bathing Culture. The upstart two-piece (and, when live, four-piece) — led by old friends, romantic partners and Vetiver members Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman — filled the genre box on its Facebook page with "New Age/Slow Dance/Adult Contemporary/Spiritual." Though it could be a joke on the band's part, the connection makes sense.
"Pendulum" — a track off PBC's debut full-length Moon Tides — has the pretty reverb and general je ne sais quoi of an Indie Pop song, but its soothing lyrics about swinging like a pendulum and downbeat, sunset-on-a-beach vibe also reflect the band potentially using New Age as a legit influence.
By the time of Moon Tides' release in late August, when the band leaders are doing the press rounds, hopefully someone will think to ask about this link and close the case for good. (Preview by Reyan Ali)
Here is PBC's video for "Pendulum."

The first day of summer isn't for three more weeks, but MidPoint Indie Summer begins this evening.
The free, every-Friday concert event — sponsored by CityBeat's MidPoint Music Festival (which recently announced another stack of performers for this September's fest) — is part of Fountain Square's PNC Summer Music Series, which kicked off earlier this week. Shows start every Friday at 8 p.m., preceded by the 4EG Happy Hour (5-8 p.m.), which includes a special guest DJ each week (today it's DJ Ice Cold Tony) and lots of drink specials.
MidPoint Indie Summer shows feature primarily local acts, but also a few national touring performers. Click here for the full lineup so far.
Tonight's MPIS headliners are using the event to launch into a new phase of their career. It's officially the last show by 7-year-old, nationally-acclaimed Indie Pop band Pomegranates … but also the first show for the band under its new name, Healing Power. Pomegranates/Healing Power will be playing song from all five Pomegranates albums, "some we haven't done in years," the band writes on its Facebook page. Healing Power already has some solid bookings this summer, including dates with Cold War Kids, Ra Ra Riot and former Miracle Legion frontman March Mulcahy.
R.I.P. Pomegranates, and welcome to the world, Healing Power. Here's an oldie but goodie, from 2009's Lujo Records release, Everybody Come Outside! (The band has confirmed this one's in tonight's set!) Pomegrantes/Healing Power performs at 10 p.m.
At 9 p.m., great Covington quartet The Yugos perform, celebrating the release of their brand-new Life is Awesome and Then You Live Forever LP, a stellar exhibition of the band's twinkly/trippy, melodic Dream Pop. The album was posted today on The Yugos' Bandcamp page. Check out the fantastic first single from the album, "Dream Away" (a free download), below and grab your album download here to get even more pumped for the show tonight.
Kicking off the show in style at 8 p.m. is Cincy Indie Rock threesome The Never Setting Suns. The band has independently released a pair of strong albums so far, including last year's Time & Eternity. Download that album's "Meet Me There" for free here.
The second round of announcements for this year's MidPoint Music Festival lineup was featured in this week's issue of CityBeat, on streets now. For those outside of Greater Cincinnati (or you lazy folks who don't want to walk to pick up a newspaper), here's the official press release:
For Immediate Release
Artist Announcement "Round 2" for MPMF.13
Original Pioneer Shuggie Otis to headline Washington ParkOpening Night
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 29, 2013 —Last month, after almost 40 years, Shuggie Otis, released a new album.
In September, MidPoint Music Festival (MPMF.13) will present Otis, one of the most mysterious figures in pop music history, as this year's original pioneer. He will headline in Washington Park opening night with Cody ChesnuTT.
According to the New York Times (NYT), Otis's album, "Wings of Love" (Epic/Legacy), which includes 14 previously unreleased tracks, is being packaged a alongside a reissue of his previous and most celebrated recording, "Inspiration Information," from 1974.
"MPMF has always been known for the pioneering music we showcase, but I am especially excited and proud to present Shuggie Otis," said Dan McCabe, artistic director of MPMF.13. "Unlike other original pioneers presented at past MPMFs like Ralph Stanley, Booker T. and Van Dyke Parks, Shuggie's impact is only just now coming to light. Shuggie Otis speaks directly to the MPMF artist who often sacrifices success and notoriety for their art."
On May 3, the first 13 artists were announced for the twelfth edition of the downtown Cincinnati festival happening September 26-28, 2013. Today, 14 additional artists are being released:
SHUGGIE OTIS: "He's the unsung hero of blues and funk. His music is so potent that it only blossomed 30 years after it was first released." - Questlove
"…a missing link between Sly, Jimi, Stevie, Prince and Frank Ocean." -Rolling Stone
KURT VILE: One of Coachella 2013's 10 Must See Acts – Rolling Stone
"Wakin on a Pretty Daze" is a SPIN essential and a real testament to putting a great deal of effort into making something feel effortless." - SPIN
YOUTH LAGOON: "8.7 / BEST NEW MUSIC. Wondrous Bughouse looks inward and discovers the endless possibilities of imagination and introspection." -Pitchfork
ON AN ON: Broke new ground on their latest recording with accomplished producer Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals, Los Campesinos!)
BATHS: Just yesterday (May 28, 2013) second album Obsidian named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork. Debut album Cerulean, blurs the line between post-modern pop and the LA beat scene and earned "Best Of" recognition from Pitchfork & The Onion's A.V. Club.
MURDER BY DEATH: "They've cultivated a cult-like fan base via their unique sound, which mingles elements of country, indie rock and alternative music into collections of songs that are the sonic equivalent of 'No Country For Old Men.'"— PureVolume
BLEACHED: "…originally found cult status with their punk band Mika Miko. It's the ole "they've cleaned up, but are still same degenerates you know and love" trick. . – The Village Voice
SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME: The jubilant fun of Motown and Northern soul with a decidedly indie approach.
SAN FERMIN: A pastiche of post-rock, chamber-pop and contemporary classical composition.
SECRET COLOURS: Revel in being the bastard seed of the '60s psychedelia and '90s Britpop bloodlines.
NAT BALDWIN: Double bassist/singer-songwriter Nat Baldwin's spent years as the Dirty Projectors bassist and former disciple of free jazz legend Anthony Braxton.
WILD CUB: "…[Wild Cub's] brand of darkly-tinged new wave recalls elements of the youthful abandon of John Hughes soundtracks, the baleful allure of Greg Dulli, and the clockwork electronics of New Order's middle period." – KEXP
THE SHILOHS: The Vancouver foursome released full-length debut, So Wild earlier this year.
BIRDS OF CHICAGO: "They project organic gospel, hillbilly, folk and soul elements that bridge traditional and modern approaches." – Chicago Tribune

"His saves this season against Olympiacos and Sunderland really stand out but, in truth, he's doing it almost every week. It's the way he has developed and improved, and the character he has shown to overcome those early difficulties, that really stand out for me.
"They are the characteristics of a United player; there are high expectations at this club, some players live up to them and some don't, but he has stepped up, improved all the time and shown he is a fantastic goalkeeper. He gets my vote."

Bethel Bapt-New Beginnings is a preschool located in Flagstaff, Arizona.

This is a great little school, which is part of the reason why we love it - not 1,000 kids and total chaos like some of the places we checked out for daycare. Very clean and the staff is great - Ms. Lynne, the Director is wonderful and so patient with the children. The other benefit which sold us on this school is the fact that ALL CHILDREN have to be immunized, which was a huge deciding factor for us. Most of the other daycares and preschools we checked out did not require this. We also loved the fact that it is a biblical school and the children are taught prayers, etc. Keep up the good work, New Beginnings!
I love this school and facility!! Even though it is in a older building they keep everything really clean! The teachers and director are wonderful, they are very caring and attentive to the children. My daughter (2yrs) has been attending here for about four months and she loves it. It only took her two weeks to get use to the school and teachers. She is learning and having fun too! She has grown so much since attending here. If you're looking for a good Preschool that teaches biblical principles and has a loving staff, this is the school for you.
my son has been going here since he was about 15 months old. the people here care so much about him. the tachers are sweet, caring and love him, as does the principle and assistant. i just can't say enough good things about new beginnings. i feel so lucky to have found it. our girls (3 and 5) go to montessori (which we also love) but we deicided to keep our son here until he turns three instead of going to the montessori that accepts 18 month olds (which was our original plan). i wouldn't trade these wonderful folks with decent prices, clean and cute facilities and toys!!!
This is a fantastic preschool. My son who is now in 1st grade went there for 3 years, and my daughter is in her 2nd year there. The teachers are great and my son was absolutely more than ready to start kindergarten when it was time. I would definitely recommend this school to any parent that is looking for an excellent daycare/preschool for their child.
my kids have gone here for years we also attend church it really helped my kids get ready for kindergarten

When it comes to Italian markets, you pretty much know what to expect: mozzarella at the deli counter, pinot grigio in the wine section, an assortment of dried and fresh pastas, a couple of loaves of Italian bread. But Carmine Giardini's (2401 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens, 561-775-0105, and 6282 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale, 954-491-1876) just might surprise you -- and the one you love. The beautifully designed market, which smells as good as it looks, carries products from England (Stilton cheese), Japan (nori), and Holland (Droste chocolates). The market also makes and delivers/ships gift baskets. You can send baskets labeled "A Taste of Florida," "Coffee Lover's Delight," or "Breakfast Basket," which includes fresh fruit. My personal favorite, however, is "Petite Pasta Basket," complete with Giardini's own marinara sauce and private-label merlot. Mangia!

I urge voters in Ward 3 to support Tim Duffy, a person of great character and commitment.
I have watched how Tim works with people in our community. I know that he has a deep commitment to see Fredericksburg thrive on a variety of levels.
He is committed to seeing our schools be successful, our neighborhoods be desirable places to live, and the overall prosperity of our city. He listens carefully to those around him and truly cares about the welfare of all residents.
Tim's ability to listen to those around him and to try to meet the needs of all people is to be admired. We need someone on the council with Tim's keen insight and dedication.

Olga—A Thank You
I have fond memories of you, "Grand Dame" Olga. You always looked royal, seemed royal to me, in your dress, manner, and carefully kept-up appearance. You had a presence that bespoke character; you exercised control.
I think of you, too, as often being preoccupied, and sometimes a little weary. It was good you could always share (a little imperiously?) your interests and sense of integrity with Stan. I could see how you both wanted the yearly Meiklejohn to go well—which meant encouraging a cooperative success with your job-oriented teammates. And it did go well. With its built-up attendance, flowering of events, and steadily increasing prize money, much of this progress under your immediate direction—you were a leader when you had to be—it was of course a tournament nonpareil for senior aficionados.
And you were ambitious, tired maybe but tireless too—wrote those Senior Corner columns with Stan, formed that USATT Senior Committee, and even involved yourself internationally. Made a t.t. name for yourself over the years…something to be proud of.
I liked it that those times when it was possible, after the Meiklejohn tournament was over, you invited me and my wife (when she accompanied me west) to join your party for dinner. But I'm sure so many players and workers over the years found you to be generous, hospitable, wanting to do the befitting class thing.
Olga, I thank you for bringing fun moments into my life during my Meiklejohn years. And, great lady, who bought all my books, know that I'm not the only one—there are many seniors like me—who from time to time in the future will stop by that mansion, no, castle, of yours to revisit, magazine in hand or not, the corners you've made so personal and accommodating for us.

Rayne Police Department announces the arrest of a teen arrested on firearms charges after officers responded last Thursday to a fight that included teens, weapons, and drugs.
An adult also was arrested attempting to leave the scene with evidence.
At 1:37 p.m. on June 5, officers responded to the 300 block of Section Street, where they discovered a disturbance involving two juveniles, 15 and 16 years in age, along with Calvin Minix, 17, who allegedly were brandishing a pistol and were threatening to shoot an area resident. Officers report that Minix fled while officers were in the process of apprehending the suspects and securing the crime scene.
Officers indicated that they pursued Minix, apprehended him, and recovered two pistols, one of which was recently reported stolen out of a local residential burglary. Minix also reportedly discarded, during his flight, several packets of marijuana, which a woman, Trudy Miller, 35, attempted to remove from the crime scene without being detected by officers, police said. Although officers said that Miller readily turned over the marijuana to officers when they detained her, Miller was still arrested at the scene.
Minix and Miller both were booked into the Rayne Police Department until a surety bond was obtained. The two juveniles were released to a concerned adult pending court proceedings.
Chief Carroll Stelly expressed his frustration with the situation.
"We have repeatedly investigated and arrested the same juveniles for numerous criminal acts, some of which are felonies. These juveniles are taken to the police department where we are required to release them to a concerned adult until court proceedings. However, I am working closely with the Acadia Parish District Attorney's Office in effort to expedite these juveniles incarceration for these violent crime,." Stelly explained.
The chief suggested that parents could play a larger role in improving the situation.
"During my 26 years as a police officer, I have watched a massive derogation of child supervision by their parents. Today, we are facing a criminal justice crisis with violent juvenile criminal activity. Unfortunately, this will not be fixable with police action alone. It requires mothers and fathers to raise their children in a responsible and respectful manner. Until then, we will be required to arrest and prosecute these juveniles for violent crimes that historically have been reserved for the hardened adult criminals," said the chief.

Small is big for Japanese automakers eyeing Indonesia and India
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese automakers like Honda Motor Co (7267.T) and the Toyota-Daihatsu group (7203.T) (7262.T) have a problem: the smallest cars they make are very big in Japan - and only Japan.
Consider Honda's hi-tech N BOX, a four-passenger microcar that combines some of the utility features of a much larger SUV - the seats roll down to load a bicycle or two - and the fuel-sipping economy of a tiny, 660-cc engine.
For the first half of 2013, the zippy N BOX was the best-selling car in Japan's popular vehicle category that now represents almost 40 percent of vehicles on the road.
But outside Japan, the concept of the so-called kei car, a term derived from the Japanese word light, is mostly unknown. Now that could change. The Japanese auto giants are considering exporting the technology to emerging market countries.
"We have fairly low-priced cars in those markets already, but in India and markets like Indonesia, we need even smaller, even more affordable cars," Honda's chief spokesman Masaya Nagai said.
Rising fuel costs and a fast growing middle class in the world's second and fourth most populous states make them likely to be the first microcar customers.
As a first step, companies such as Honda have designed their kei cars - the kei is pronounced like the letter "k" - in a way that makes its easier to produce them overseas.
"We spent a long time nurturing the kei car technology in Japan, and we think it has the potential to be useful not only in developed markets but also in emerging markets," Honda's Chief Executive Officer Takanobu Ito told reporters in June.
Honda is not alone.
Toyota Motor Corp is using technology from its affiliate Daihatsu Motor Co, a kei-car specialist, to develop minicars for Indonesia.
Mitsbubishi Motors Corp (7211.T) is looking at selling kei-concept cars in Africa, where President Osamu Masuko plans to attend a distributors' conference this month. Nissan's Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga also said last month that kei cars have a potential of going global.
While few Japanese carmakers have tried to popularize microcars outside of Japan, there are exceptions.
Suzuki Motor Corp (7269.T) and Daihatsu have targeted India and Southeast Asia since the early 1980s, building a credible presence although their technology differs from that used to build Honda's kei.
More recently, General Motors Co (GM.N) and its Chinese affiliate Wuling have been making an aggressive push for micro minivans in China. Their next bet is India.
Honda believes its advanced microcar technology and the favourable marketing conditions in India and Indonesia mean that the time is right to export the kei concept.
Joost Geginat, an autos market expert with Roland Berger consultancy in Singapore, predicts Japanese companies will invest a total $1.8 billion to produce kei-concept cars in Indonesia.
Now the race in the microcar market is heating up. Honda, Japan's No.3 automaker most famous for its Civic and Accord cars, is betting on small cars to meet its aggressive target of selling 6 million vehicles globally a year by March 2017 from current sales of around 4 million.
To do so, Honda aims to double sales in emerging markets to account for half of total vehicle sales, and its kei car technology could play a key role in that.
Indonesia, where over a million cars were sold last year, is one such market. Last month, Jakarta rolled back fuel subsidies, raising motor fuel prices by an average of 33 percent. At around the same time, Indonesia signed into law a Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) programme to promote small cars such as the kei, though it is on hold pending review.
Geginat says Toyota, Daihatsu, Suzuki and Honda could roll out a combined 500,000 LCGCs, valued at under at $10,000 each, a year once the new law is in place.
Honda is looking at taking the microcar technology to Indonesia and neighbouring Malaysia, Hiroshi Takemura, who oversees Honda's small car operations, told Reuters last month.
The company has designed its N BOX to share certain structures with the Fit, Honda's global compact car also known as the Jazz, meaning the two cars can be manufactured on the same line, said Yoshiyuki Matsumoto, Honda's managing officer.
Honda currently builds the Fit or Jazz at 10 plants around the world, including Indonesia and Thailand.
One challenge for Honda and other Japanese automakers is pricing. Honda's N BOX starts from around $12,500, slightly more expensive than the outgoing model of the Fit that starts from about $12,200.
To produce a sub $10,000 no-frills car in Indonesia, features like the turbocharger, vehicle assist system and airbags may have to go, and an old-fashioned key used to start the car instead of an electronic smart key.

Need recs for one day visit to LA of unique cheap ethnic eats
My wife and I are in LA for just a Saturday, and she's never been. We would like to visit 2-3 restaurants/food trucks/markets w/ food stalls that highlight L.A.'s unique cultural diversity. We're from New York, so we're especially excited about things that are different from what we can get here. We're culinarily adventurous but don't eat seafood, sadly. Last time in town I went to Flame (and Saffron and Rose), Jitlada, and La Casita Mexicana, and enjoyed all three, although all felt very 'safe' (not off the beaten path). We have a car, so stops can be a little spread out.
Your recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here is a complete (more than you will ever need) plan: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/846313
re: Servorg
The problem with that list is that it leaves out the "unique" or "adventurous".
re: ipsedixit
You have to remember that it's not just the OP's list that is available via that thread, but also there are a lot of other places contributed by hounds who chimed in with other ideas.
New issue of LA Magazine at newsstands now has 101 best cheap eats in LA . It's a very good list too.
To me, off the beaten path would mean going deep into one or more of the enclaves. San Gabriel Valley for all things Chinese and a lot of Vietnamese is the obvious one, but Koreatown is so dense with culture as well. The Latino communities around East LA, Lincoln Heights, Pico/Union and Westlake/Rampart areas are culturally deep.
One Saturday can be quite a day, depending on when one starts and ends. My first compulsion would be to start out eating carnitas at Carnitas Michoacan since they are always open, but that might kill your appetite for the first half of the day. The many family-run panadarias are an incredible bargain, and a few baked goods with a champurrado would be a way to get your appetite in gear. As many panaderias as there are, one has really stood out in my mind, but you might consider this to be safe as well. I owe this following rec to posters Liu and Dommy. La Monarcha is a small panadaria chain that also serves some cafe food. Their coffee drinks are very nice as well. The quality is of a level that I've personally not experienced at more traditional panadarias. Nothing against them - they are in a fiercely competitive market that caters to the local communities that are very price-sensitive (as are so many of the ethnic enclaves). La Monarcha feels somewhat more gringo-fied and is more expensive, but it's not a major investment food-wise, and I think it would be a good way to jump start your day.
A place of Mexican cuisine that stands out as unique in my mind is La Flor de Yucatan. Yucatecan cuisine is not common in LA. This place specializes in it. Located on Hoover a few blocks from the 10 freeway, La Flor de Yucatan a panaderia, small shop,cafe/deli counter and cultural enlightenment center of sorts that makes it a big-bang for your buck one-stop. The baked goods are delicious as are all the hot savory dishes like cochinita pibil, vaporcitas, morcia, panuchos and kibis. Much of it travels well - we end up ordering a lot at one time and have friends over to feast. The pickled red onions are standard with most of the dishes, as are the habanero chiles - use the onions liberally and use your judgement on the chiles. They do have a very nice creamy habanero salsa as well. For me, the highlight of this place is learning about the history of food of the Yucatan via Marc, the man at the helm here. He's very approachable and his patience in explaining the food is almost librarian-like - he knows it that well.
Koreatown is like a deeply boiled down brew of Korean culture. Relative to the size of LA, it's not that big, but as far as enclaves go, it is so thick with food offerings of such variety and ethnic matter-of-factness. Jonathan Gold recently created a list, "60 Korean Dishes Every Angeleno Should Know." He gets slapped around on this board for some unknown reason - he used to be a poster here - but I personally find his articles to be well-written, informative and great reads. Here's the list:
I think Korean bbq is probably the most common entry point for many trying out this cuisine, but I find dishes like kimchi or seafood pancake, bossam, soon tofu or bibimbap to be very approachable as well. I think the issue for your day is where to fit in some type(s) of Korean food relative to the rest of your food experiences. Koreatown is traffic Hell. The food can be very satisfying and filling. Many places will offer panchan (really nice side dishes) and are hard to stop eating. imho, you'll be done if you eat in Koreatown at any point. Korean eateries reflect an ethos of what Jewish and Italian mothers are known for - no one leaves unless every corner of one's stomach is stuffed. Doing bbq might be a nice way to finish the day, but the bbq places are very popular particularly on the Friday and Saturday nights. It is definitely a more pricy ethnic option as well, though not a deal-breaker for many eaters' budgets. If you decide to go this route, Soot Bull Jeep would be an option but the smell of smoke everywhere (including you and your clothes) can be off-putting - but you're looking to go deep, right? My guess would be around $50 for two. Park's is extremely loved by many but it can be difficult to get in for dinner on a Saturday - make a reservation as far in advance as they will allow unless you are willing to wait at least an hour. The service is very good and the cuts of meat are excellent - you will pay more here. I'm only the tip of the iceberg on Koreatown - I'm a total novice - so I hope other posters will expand.
The San Gabriel Valley (SGV) is probably the culinary diamond of the LA board. It is vast, full of various eateries from different cultures and geographic areas of Chinese Asia, and can be had even on a modest budget. But like other ethnic enclaves, many find it to be a hard nut to crack because of language barriers. Another issue is the San Gabriel Valley is not close enough for many to consider on a regular basis. I think it's totally worth overcoming any perceived issues. I don't speak Mandarin, Cantonese or Vietnamese(xie xie, do ze, cam on is about it). I live 30-40 minutes away (on a good day), and I try to get out here at least once a month - sometimes once a week if I'm lucky.
Being from New York means you probably have access to very good Chinese eateries, but the sense I get from posters here is that Chinese in the SGV trumps New York Chinese, aside from one or two specific cuisines. Cuisines from parts of China that were relatively unknown to novices like me have become very accessible in the past few of years. Beijing Pie House, Kam Hong Garden, Omar's Xinxiang Halal, Qingdao Bread Food, and Sweethome Grill are examples of such places. The vast majority of these types of places can offer a very unique meal and will leave plenty of money left in your wallet. Lucky Noodle King is Sichuan, and their dan dan mian is always on my mind.
Vietnamese is well established in the SGV as well. I've enjoyed Golden Deli, Saigon Flavor, and Vietnam Restaurant in the SGV, but relative quick and cheap would be banh mi. Banh Mi My Tho on Valley is excellent (charbroiled pork #8) but all the major avenues and blvds have banh mi chains as well like Mr. Baguette, Banh Mi Che Cali, and Lee's. They all serve their purpose, and are very competitive.
re: bulavinaka
Nicely written, bulavinaka!
re: PeterCC
re: bulavinaka
Yes, very good bulavinaka. One minor thing, the SGV is "vast" in number of restaurants and choices, but not "vast" in horribly spread out...at least the Western SGV. Hundreds of Chinese restaurants are in a roughly 5 mile by 2.5 mile radius. I don't want the OP to be dissuaded from visiting the SGV because they interpreted vast as being far flung and widely scattered.
Great restaurant recommendations, +1.
re: JThur01
I agree with JThur01. In the SGV, many mini-malls actually double as food courts. And if you don't like one mini-mall/food court, there are probably a few more on the same block. I kid you not.
re: bulavinaka
Beautifully written, bulavinaka!!
I would recommend, if they want bahn mi, to get them at the end of the day (or whenever they are in the area for them) and take it with to eat on the next leg of their trip, so they can pack-in more of the food that would be difficult to travel with. I have taken them several times with me on the plane and they are very easy to eat and not stinky in the least (and they hold up well!). Happy travels!
re: WildSwede
Thanks for the kind words, folks. I'm just channeling all the great recs, info and insight from all of you.
I hope I didn't sound like the SGV is to vast of a behemoth to conquer. It only is if one tries to take it all in within a year (just my opinion). But taken in small bites, it's a Chow Nirvana. Wiki states the SGV is about 200 square miles, and that eight of the top ten cities with the highest concentration of Chinese-Americans are in the San Gabriel Valley - that says a lot. When driving from end to end, one does notice different areas that are more Latino, Caucasian, or Asian, but the most noticeable cultural enclaves are by far Chinese. I guess my point is that while the SGV is a huge area, it's so target-rich with eating potential that it verges on ridiculous. I've mentioned somewhere in a past thread that, as much as the SGV impresses me with the number of places to eat, I couldn't live out here because I need some space between my eateries. e.g, most Hounds would be giddy with one xlb place to drop by in their town. In the SGV, it's not unusual to find a couple in one shopping center. Here on the LA board, we can gripe, dissect and banter about who has the best, who has the most homey, and who has slipped on the xlb rankings with a full list of contenders to toss around. And by the by, xiao long bao are buns (bao), not dumplings (jiaozi). :)
One area you might explore briefly is North Hollywood. There's a lot of diverse offerings in a pretty compact area.
For instance, I might consider:
Northern Thai at Sri Siam. Get the nam prik oom (eggplant and green chile dip) and the crispy rice with sour pork salad. For a late-night Thai alternative, Krua Thai may seem conventional, but its Pad Thai Krua Thai is not what most people typically think about when they think of pad thai.
Lamajeune (Armenian pizza) at Sweet One Bakery and Kebab House at Woodman and Oxnard or Dream Bakery on Sherman Way near Coldwater. Just get the lamajeune, which are about $0.75 each.
Tacos: asada or birria tacos from El Taco Llama on Sherman Way by Lankershim or, if evening, asada tacos from the Tacos La Fonda truck at Vanowen and Vineland (I think that's where it still is). If you go to Sweet One Bakery, the Rigo's Tacos in the same center has only so-so tacos, but a blistering hot and smokey salsa roja that is phenomenal.
I'll admit that I would not consider any of those places (except Sri Siam) the "best" in the city, but they are all within a few miles of one another, so they can be visited in rapid succession.
If you expand your horizons a bit, there is pho at one of the two pho places at Sepulveda and Victory in Sherman Oaks, Natas pastries for Portuguese natas -- little bruleed pieces of custard -- and all sorts of unusual offerings at Alcazar in Encino (lamb's brains and various preparations of Nayye, raw beef).
If you don't want to go to the San Fernando Valley, you might consider starting in San Gabriel Valley and then heading toward downtown. Stop at Moles La Tia for Oaxacan food. Then go to Mexicali for the vampiro (like a quesadilla but with a garlic aioli) or the cachetada (a tostada-like concoction that I get with chorizo and have ranchera-style, with a fried egg on top).
You could then move into Koreatown. I'm not an expert on Korean food and Korean BBQ would be the "safe" option. However, there are plenty of threads describing options there that would reflect a wide variety of Korean options in the area.
re: Jwsel
Great list. I would add Don Adrian's at Kester and Victory for cemitas poblanas, a truly lovely Mexican sandwich. Make sure to get the added string cheese. You might also hit up El Criollo on Van Nuys for lomo saltado, and Puro Sabor on Van Nuys and Victory for Peruvian food - although I think their best dishes are seafood. Enjoy!
re: ebethsdad
Those are good options, though I wasn't blown away by El Criollo when I tried it for the first time last week. And it's hard to recommend Puro Sabor if someone is not going to have ceviche. Takatis for pollo ala brasa or the sanguchon sandwich would be an alternative for Peruvian.
El Carrrusel, which is kitty corner to Don Adrian, also is a good option for pupusas.
And something that would really highlight LA's food diversity is to go to Ranch 99 Market at Victory and Van Nuys for some Chinese or dumplings, then go to one of the Vallarta Markets for a couple of tacos or guisados (maybe the goat birria) and agua frescas, and finally go to an Armenian or Middle Eastern market.
re: ebethsdad
Love don adrian. esp the pata.
re: Jerome
I love Don Adrian, too, though when I posted about them last year, two frequent posters warned that they were unhappy about the bread there:
(A third poster was fine with it.)
Any updates?
re: Peripatetic
I was a regularl and frequent poster. I like their bread. I'm perfectly happy with them. They are tiny - if unhappy people stay away, makes it easier for me. I like it - the food, the service, the price.
have no idea why people wouldn't like it. To be fair, this is about the one on kester. the one on van nuys is good, was their once, and perfectly fine... much bigger and easier to sit and eat at.
14902 VICTORY BLVD (at Kester)
Saturday at 3pm ZamZam market serves their mutton biryani, which is my favorite plate of food in LA. Saturday only. Right nearby is Mateo's ice cream, which has a lot of delicious and unusual Mexican flavors of ice cream/popsicles.
I'd go for the tamale and atole and champurrado ladies in the jon's parking lot at 8th and irolo in koreatwon. 10pm or so is fine. one dollar per tamale. one dollar for an atole or a champurrado. Across the street on the south side of 8th street (east of irolo) there's a guy grilling meat, if flame is too safe.
I'd look at the people selling the great fruit cups - average price 5 bucks. You'll see some in macarthur park. If you're in the north valley for some reason, you'll see a cart e.g. in the 76 gas station on rinaldi - near the denny's ... seriously that will be far for you and they're everywhere. Try the ones usually on shatto or westmoreland near Virgil and wilshire - just north of wilshire.
el taurino has a nice taco selection on hoover and 9th st. I'd go in the daytime or early evening. the area can be a little much for peopel who kdon't know it at night.
Korean i've enjoyed lately - the Corner Place - THE CORNER PLACE-KOREAN BBQ
yes you have korean bbq but this one has great cold noodles to drink and slurp and they're good without the charcoal that stinks up your clothes and after all you're travelling light. -
for seafood there's the grilled seafood no meat at Flaming Clam Grill... just checked - it's closed. Maybe someone else can suggest a place for the grilled korean seafood.
Forkorean take on raw fish - try A-Won - just get the al bap, fish roe on rice with sauce, or the hwe dup bap. two can split it.
Also, Hwa Sun Ji on wilshire has a very nice selection of fruit infusions, root infusions, and other sweet tea-like drinks (as well as tea, but go for the other stuff)
(pakring in rear)
As well, go to Mercado la Paloma on Grand near USC. Chichen Itza has wonderful yucatecan food. There's also a peruvian place in the complex people love, but i"d go for the yucatan style dishes.
For something a little more elegant - leave yourself in the hands of your hosts at Babita in San Gabriel. lovely mexican food, made at home.
while you're in the neighborhood, consider Shaanxi gourmet. Ask forthe liangpi noodles and the rou jia mou. usually lamb, here the "burgers" are pork. And more suggestions. If more adventurous, ask for the yangrou paomo - and ask them to show you if they can how to break the "pita" (flat bread) in teh bowl yourself, to mimic the spaetzle they make when they do it in the kitchen.
For an interesting chinese dessert - go to Beijing duck house and get the "ba-si ping guo) dessert, fried apples like you've never had them, battered then dipped into ice water, which makes the sugar syrup turn into hard rock candy and the inside of the fritter is soft and melting. the beijing duck is good as well, and can be ordered by phone 1/2 hour in advance if you dont' want to wait.
aka PAN LAI GE
Also, in westwood, go late night to Canary Chicken, order the dizi (lamb) if they have it. If not, eat waht the rest eat... have to wait a bit, thisis for saturday night, or friday night, after 1am.
oops- yelp says their cloed. They might be mediterranean grill or not. skip it.
instead, go to
ask for the dizi or the ab goosht - lamb stew - ask if you can grind it at the table.
Finally - go to Beeps in the valley at Woodley and Sherman way. Have some milkshakes and a chili size (seriously) and see what old food was in southern california. Similarly, if near the beach, go to Chez jay, get the sand dabs (nothing else on the menu is as good) and maybe the salad with green goddess dressing. And a bloody mary. and enjoy.
Oh - for tempura omakase - go to Komatsu in Torrance
for three different grades of soba (accompanied by a side of deep fried eel) try Otafuku
and for okonomiyaki i'd suggest
feel free to google, call or ask for other suggestions. I think this is a nice start
(Also, live sea urchins, terminated to order at Quality Seafood in redondo beach, and various clams and oysters and fish - nice touch sitting outside...
parking lot is at western terminus of torrance blvd - enjoy).
btw tacos de sesos is a little off the beaten path or of tripas de leche if you're at a good taqueria. again - have a great visit.
OOPS - forgot these
re: Jerome
FYI, sadly, Komatsu has closed. There is a ramen shop there now. I have no news whether Komatsu has relocated.
Also the Peruvian place at Mercado La Paloma, Mo- Chica, has also closed in favor of its new Downtown LA location. I believe the same group is putting up something new there.
You may like Boiling Crab (various branches). Really great value, kick ass cajun style seafood and eating can be quite messy (piles of shrimp shells.) A very young vibe. Need to be there by 5:30 or later after 9:00 PM unless you are willing to wait 2 hours for a table.
saw one of the fruit carts today on San Vicente at the corner of Pico Blvd, se corner a few steps away from Pico..

Leather jacket and tie
I just bought a short, tight black leather jacket, and it looks fine with a white dress shirt. Is it appropriate to wear a tie under the jacket? read more
Beard science
I was watching the AFC Championship game and I noticed that both quarterbacks, Jake Plummer and Ben Roethlisberger, were sporting beards. I couldn't decide if they looked really cool or just really '70s. Any tips on how to grow a beard and not look like Bob Seger? read more
Limp wristwatch
A friend of mine is adamant that a straight man should never wear his watch on the right wrist. Is this true? read more
Shaved heads and skin color
Black guys always seem to look great with shaved heads, while white guys (like me) often do not. I am considering shaving my head, and I obviously want to look as good as possible. Any suggestions? Are self-tanners a good idea, to avoid the "chemo" look? read more

Wearing a fedora
I am a 33-year-old white male and a detective at a major metropolitan police department. I recently purchased a black fedora to wear with my suits at work. (Think Gene Hackman in The French Connection or Dennis Farina in Crime Story.) I've received the typical amount of ridicule from my coworkers (apparently white men do not wear this type of hat; only African-American men are able to pull them off), but I believe this hat makes a bold statement of individual style. Are there any special rules with regard to this type of hat that might reduce the amount of joking at my expense? read more
Weathered leather
My five-year-old black leather jacket has acquired a faint coppery sheen. Is this cause for celebration (assuming it's a patina), dismay (it needs refinishing), or neither (it just needs cleaning)? And does this mean it's cheap leather? read more
Which finger to wear your ring on
I'm a 56-year-old divorced guy who has never worn a ring in his life (not even a wedding band when I was married). Recently, I found a ring that looks great: a simple platinum band with a slit cut into it. At one end of the slit is a small rectangular diamond. Very masculine, classy, and simple. My question is, which finger/hand should I wear it on? read more
A gentleman's knife
I think a pocketknife is an indispensable tool to carry, yet most are bulky. Any suggestions as to a good gentleman's knife? read more
The word on clip-on suspenders
What's up with suspenders? I noticed that my favorite haberdasher sells only the button variety. I'm not willing to commit to having my pants altered for a look that I'm still unsure of, so I bought a few clip-on pairs. Is either variety of suspenders more or less appropriate for certain occasions? read more
Choosing a razor
I'm 19 years old, and I'm just starting to shave regularly. Problem is, I don't know what to use. Every time I turn around, it seems like there's a newer, better, sleeker razor on the market. Are you an old-school guy who uses one of those old-fashioned razors, or do you embrace the modern technology? read more

- A Family-run Italian RestaurantTomLikesGoodFoodDined on 11/25/2014Good, solid menu of traditional Italian favorites all well executed. I particularly like the fritto misto appetizer of shrimp and calamari. My main course pick is branzino, and my dessert pick is tiramisu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite place for pastapadareejVIPDined on 11/24/2014I've eaten here many times and I have never been disappointed. The food is always great and the service is wonderful. Definitely worth a visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will try happy hours as wellKatsuDined on 11/8/2014This is my second visit since last year. The restaurant carries many region-specific wines (Is that the origin of the name of this restaurant?), such as from Sicily. It is interesting to see those specific wines as well as food. I got squid's black ink pasta (today's special) and flied calamari with shrimps. Calamari is really great if you cannot spend $$. It is prenty enough for 1 person. Pasta is always good - note that you need to wait for a while. I think the chef makes all pastas from the scratch for each dish. This restaurant is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Manhattan, and I will definitely start stopping by Monday and Wednesday happy hours.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LoveRegionalAnonymousVIPDined on 11/3/2014Regional is a super neighborhood haunt! I come not only for the food but for the atmosphere and friendliness. Wish there were more variety in desserts... would love to have something not supersweet but a nice meal ending. Biscotti anyone?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sweetsAnonymousVIPDined on 10/27/2014I love Regional. Great spot in the 'hood. Service and food is excellent. Almost always wish there were some less extravagent choices in the dessert menu - biscotti anyone?I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch!CUstudentDined on 10/25/2014Fantastic bottomless mimosa brunch for $6 when you buy a meal. They are very generous with the mimosas, constantly refilling and the mimosas aren't weak like many places. Their gourmet sausages are fantastic. They did everything you'd expect very well. Going to add this to the brunch rotation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite restaurantpadareejVIPDined on 10/20/2014I eat here regularly because the food is consistently great. The specials give you the same great food and wine at even better prices and the brunch is FANTASTIC!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- long-time famAnonymousVIPDined on 10/20/2014I love Regional. It is my neighborhood hangout. Great food and wine, love sitting at the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always reliableSarabeeDined on 10/9/2014Regional is always reliable when you have a desire for Italian food. The dishes seem quite authentic and are always very good. They have a number of daily specials so the menu doesn't become boring if you go there frequently. The service is always attentive without being overbearing. The noise level is fine early in the evening and tends to become louder as the evening progresses so if you like to eat your dinner in relative quiet, go early.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never againOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/3/2014very disappointing. haven't had such bad service in ages.
- MelKMelKDined on 8/23/2014This is a fantastic brunch spot and the fact that it's around the corner from my house is even better!Special Features:
- AvoiduwsdinnerDined on 8/19/2014The lack of service was only matched by the food. Ordered lasagna, common to an Italian restaurant, and the top was burned. Not just crisp but black and tasted of burnt wood. I would have returned it but with the lack of service I was not likely to get it until the next day. I ordered a common cocktail and was told they didn't have the ingredients even though the supermarket was next door. Very poor customer service. The owner hovered over some tables joking and trying her best but if you were over 30 years of age you were made to feel unwelcome. Spend you dining dollars where they want you.
- Overpriced Italian foodStumpfer0Dined on 8/15/2014The location is along a row of restaurants on Broadway. Outdoor seating. Pleasant waiter. But the food was meh. My friend ordered the lamb chop, I ordered the tuna steak. Very bland and certainly overpriced. Will not go back.
- One of my favorite placespadareejVIPDined on 8/11/2014We eat here all the time because the food is consistently good and the prices are reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a little down-marketmorselDined on 8/9/2014I went here with friends to have a brunch on a Saturday. When we got there the music was really loud, but they turned it off -- for a while. The food was good, but the seating and ambiance is very fast food -- not that comfortable or visually inviting, certainly not fancy enough for a really special brunch. And the music/noise made it seem cheap. Still, the food was good. And the coffee kept coming. The menu looked interesting for lunch or dinner, and I'd like to try it sometime, but am wary that the noise factor will put me off. I like to be able to have a conversation without effort, and prefer no music to compete with the table chat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow, uncomfortable, unremarkableczombikDined on 8/5/2014The food was OK but the wait was intolerable. We were trapped in the restaurant for two hours, and they would have kept us there longer if I hadn't asked for our bill BEFORE DESSERT EVEN ARRIVED. I will never go back here, and I will discourage everyone I know from going as well.
- Nice Neighborhood Italian FoodMarkoVIPDined on 8/3/2014Friendly staff and good food. Nice opportunity to sit outside or at the bar and enjoy a summer evening.Special Features:
- The following 284 reviews are from the Regional reviews archive.
- L8DinerVIPDined on 6/29/2014Two eggs, one piece of toast and one piece of bacon for $11.... Not a very good value for my $$$.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/15/2014Food is great. Service variable. Once you order they forget about youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MelKMelKDined on 6/14/2014Overall this place was great. I wasn't in love with their menu items for brunch but the unlimited mimosas was fantastic! I'll definitely be back.Special Features:
- InconsistentOftenGoodDined on 6/13/2014In three recent visits to Regional, I had one excellent sirloin steak and two extremely poor ones. The poor ones had lots of gristle and they were quite thin. They had very little chewable meat. On two occasions the waitress was excellent and on one other occasion the waitress just disappeared. One steak arrived about 15 minutes after everyone else in my party had been served. There is one consistently good dessert -- the warm chocolate souffle. Others might be good too; I haven't tried them. The wait staff is generally personable and knowledgable (except for the waitress who disappeared).
- Neighborhood gempadareejVIPDined on 6/2/2014We eat here regularly because the food is great the service is great and the prices are very reasonable. I high recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good food, but not cozyNickDined on 5/30/2014I was delighted when Regional opened. We in the neighborhood had recently sadly saw the departure of and authentic French bistro. Regional promised to be authentically Italian, and it is, particularly in its menu. All the food is very good, especially the fish dishes. The service is great. My disappointed is with the atmosphere. The room is big, so it's hard to find an intimate table. The decor is modern and plain with hard surfaces everywhere which reflect noise; rather than being able to relax, have comfortable conversation, enjoy the carefully prepared Italian food and the good service, our meal is imposed upon by the din all around. I still like this spot, but not as much as I otherwise might.Special Features:
- Regional dinnerDatingoutDined on 5/17/2014Very nice restaurant, reasonable prices, very good service. We had the Tuna Carpaccio and Eggplant and enjoyed them thoroughly We both had Pasta dishes and they were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunch spot.GQ11Dined on 5/17/2014The food was great! Waiters were very attentive and my mimosa glass was always full!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unlimited mimosas and bloody Mary'shipchic2VIPDined on 5/11/2014But the service is extremely slow. Do not come famished or you will be waiting and hungry for a long time.Special Features:
- AndyVIPDined on 4/27/2014The food was fine, but the place was way too noisy for our taste.
- Always a pleasurepadareejVIPDined on 4/21/2014We have eaten here many times and it is always delicious. Their specials are great and their brunch is fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So disappointingGoodfoodlousyservioeVIPDined on 4/20/2014I have been to Regional many times, mostly for dinner. I expect their brunch to be a bit rowdy (all you can drink), but the service and food is usually good enough to negate the frat party atmosphere. Good was mediocre. Service terrible (my tea was delivered as just a chipped cup of hot water; no tea bag). I will not go back for brunch again.
- Standard Neighborhood Findnjoy2dineDined on 4/5/2014Regional is around the corner from my home and I have been going with neighbors and friends for quite a while. The food is always good. The service is always friendly and pleasant and the management is always welcoming. You really can't go wrong.Special Features:

- Great for brunch!EwohVIPDined on 1/26/2014The sausage and egg special and free refills on the mimosas made for a perfect brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/30/2013I invited seven friends to join me for dinner on my birthday, and Regional seemed to please everyone. Pay attention to the daily specials that offer great discounts on various items. Main drawback - most of the non-meat menu options are heavily dependent on dairy. It would be nice to see more vegetables and fish. I haven't found an appetizer yet that this non-meat-eating lactose-intolerant person can enjoy.Special Features:
- neighborhood favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 12/28/2013Really good fresh pastas and salads. Lots to choose from. Very casual, but the food is great and the price is right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unlimited Mimosas a Major PlusWhatDoIKnowVIPDined on 12/28/2013The food at Regional was your typical, brunch food. Nothing to really write home or opentable about. The unlimited mimosas, especially for the price of one mimosa is a total win.Special Features:
- Overcrowdedbaron34Dined on 12/23/2013Monday is their cheap pasta night, so crowds are expected--but the restaurant should get enough staff on hand to handle them. Also, bartenders need to check for dregs when pouring the last of a bottle. My second glass of red had grape pudding in the bottom. A pet peeve, which happens at too many restaurants, is that no one bothers to say, "Thank you," when patrons leave. Otherwise, except for the dismal, factory-cafeteria, décor, well done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Where to put the students?

So schools are overcrowded and there's talk and plans to add more housing. I'm guessing there will be some school-aged children in that mix. More housing will mean more cars on the roads. It's a domino effect.

When these students become adults they are going to need housing.
a resident of Menlo Park: Felton Gables
on May 13, 2013 at 1:06 pm
So, we need to building enough housing so that every student who attends local schools can buy her/his own home in our school district? Where are the schools going to go? Where are these kids going to play sports? How are people going to get around town when the population is 3x what it is today? And maybe, just maybe, the quality of life around here is going to decline so far and so fast that no one is going to want to move to Menlo Park.

Tables tough as Old Ironsides?
According to Mb Lincoln, owner of My Feathered Nest, during a 2010 excavation at the site of the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, workers discovered massive timbers of white oak and live oak buried beneath the mud. Published accounts said those trees had been harvested for use in the eventual restoration of the USS Constitution, the 1797 frigate known as Old Ironsides, and sister ships of the era.
But it was never used, and for more than a century, the timbers rested at the bottom of the harbor.
When it was discovered, some of the wood was sent to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, where a project was underway to rebuild the museum's resident whaling ship, Charles W. Morgan. But some of the timbers made their way to the Carlisle-based furniture company called Weathered Benches.
The company uses thick slabs of the wood to create simple, natural tabletops and benches that show off the rich color and grain of the wood without giving up a sense of the history of the timbers. Some of the wood the company came from trees that would have been more than 500 years old, Lincoln said.
"Every piece is different," she said. "It's like having a piece of American history in your home."

This video is too kinky and extreme to be believed. This beautiful, sexy 19-year-old Thai girl happily attempts to chew and swallow an entire plate of dog shit, (with apple slices). Incredibly, she succeeds, but not without vomitting most of it back up. Finally, she smears the regurgitated dog shit all over her face and through her hair. Has to be seen to be believed. From the defunct sweetmook.com website. The girl's stage name is "Poo."
