Short, non-frilly names like Liv or Jade?
I'm looking for names that are short and not too princess-y to add to my list (to balance out the feminissima of some of my favorites). Some examples of what I'm looking for include Liv, or Jade. They don't have to be one-syllable though, just not super-long in length. Any ideas? Please and thank you!
Edit: Bonus points if the suggestions don't end in -A!Top Names

Dukes frequently appear as heroes in historical romances. These two new novels share that common plot element, but with their strong writing and fresh stories, they are far from clichéd. In Victoria Morgan's The Heart of a Duke, Lady Julia Chandler decides to take matters in her own hands to bring her long-time fiancé, the Duke of Bedford, to the altar. She is tired of being a laughingstock, so she finds him and kisses him, ready to push for a wedding and soon. There's just one problem: she mistakenly kisses his twin brother Daniel, who has just returned from 10 years in America. Daniel came home to find out who set the fire that nearly killed him after receiving a mysterious note from his late father's solicitor that read, "It is time. Come home and claim your destiny." Daniel doesn't want Julia to marry his brother, but his attention may put her in his enemy's crosshairs. Morgan is a talented new voice in historical romance.
No Good Duke Goes Unpunished, the third novel in RITA-winner Sarah MacLean's Rules of Scoundrels quartet, brings us the story of Temple, a duke marked by scandal. He's known as the Killer Duke because 12 years ago, he woke up covered in blood in the bed of his father's beautiful, young fiancée. Everyone presumed that he murdered her, though her body was never found. Now, a notorious fighter and co-owner of the infamous Fallen Angel gaming hell, Temple is stunned when Miss Mara Lowe, the woman he is believed to have murdered, shows up on his doorstep ready to bargain with him. If he forgives her brother's gambling debts, she will show herself in society, proving that he isn't a murderer. MacLean writes sexy historical romance with wit, warmth and a modern sensibility. The book ends with the revelation of a shocking secret about the identity of Chase, the fourth partner in the Fallen Angel. That secret will leave readers desperate to read the final novel in the series!
Sadness frequently visited Kamala, but seldom was there time to succumb to its undertow. Like the monsoon that wiped out her Bengali village and claimed her family, Kamala's turbulent life was an unpredictable force leading her to reinvent herself over and over. In Sujata Massey's eloquent new historical novel The Sleeping Dictionary, India's struggles to free itself from British imperial rule coalesce with one woman's efforts to become independent even as racial and class barriers stand in the way.
Kamala was not always her name. As a child she was called Pom, born into the lowest caste in India. After a wave destroys her village, the 10-year-old orphan is rescued, embarking on what seems like a lifetime of difficult transitions. Christened Sarah, she is now content as a servant at an all-girls boarding school, where she has her dear friend, Bidushi, and her love of language and books. When she is accused of a theft she did not commit she flees, only to disembark in the wrong city, where a degrading experience awaits. By the time she arrives in Calcutta in search of a reputable position and new identity, she is hiding many secrets from her employer, a kindly British Indian civil service officer who only knows her as Kamala, well-born and well-read.
Massey, whose father was born in Calcutta, calls upon lovely descriptive language and a strong sense of place to evoke the troubled peasant life and colonial society of the 1930s and 1940s Raj India that is the center of Kamala's bumpy journey. With astute social commentary of women's roles and layers of Indian history, culture and language, she creates an authentic voice in Kamala that is as complex as the identities she has assumed. Betrayal, love, espionage and tragedy all find their way into Massey's story. The former Baltimore Sun reporter, best known for her award-winning Rei Shimura mysteries, has more in store for readers with her new Daughters of Bengal series. Here's looking forward to the next one.
Oprah's newest selection for her Book Club 2.0 is Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings. Kidd, who's The Secret Life of Bees remains a perennial book club favorite, is "thrilled and honored that Oprah Winfrey chose my novel as her new book club selection." The title, due out in early January, is sure to be a favorite among book clubs with Oprah calling it "layered and gripping."
Inspired by the life of early 19th century abolitionist and suffragist Sarah Grimk, Kidd writes in her author's note that her aim was to write "a thickly imagined story inspired by her life." The result is this beautifully written novel with the dual portrait of two women bound by the horrors of slavery as its centerpiece. Sarah, the daughter of a wealthy Charleston plantation owner is desperate to break free from the confines of her time. She is denied the opportunity to pursue her passion of a legal career and struggles to find outlets for her creativity, intelligence and convictions. Hetty, nicknamed "Handful," a slave in the household, is also keenly intelligent, brave and brandish a strong rebellious streak. Told in first person, the chapters alternate between these women's perspectives as the reader follows them and their unique relationship from childhood through middle age.
Kidd will not disappoint her legions of fans with this masterly told story of fascinating women striving for liberation and empowerment during a devastating historical time. Check out Oprah's announcement here to find out more about this exciting literary pick.
There is a new subgenre of epic fantasy that seems to be growing called flintlock fantasy. Traditional epic fantasy has a Medieval or Renaissance type setting; technology is limited, and religion and magic dominate. Not so in one of the best new contenders in this subgenre, Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan. Promise of Blood is the first book in the new Powder Mage Trilogy. McClellan's world is poised on the brink of modernity, with steam power, labor unions and massed armies using cannons and muskets. Much as the modern era was kicked off with the violence of the French Revolution and rise of Napoleon, Promise of Blood begins with a popular military commander ousting the corrupt hapless king and his unfeeling nobility. Soon the cobblestones of "Election Square" — voting being carried out by guillotine — runs red with blood as Royalists seek safety from the revolution behind barricades.
Into what otherwise sounds like a retelling of Les Misérables, McClellan adds magic, lots of varied magic. The King is supported by his Royal Cabal of Privileged, which are like the traditional wizards of epic fantasy novels. The revolution is led by the Powder Mages, less powerful than the Privileged. They gain their power from ingesting gunpowder and bullets. The Powder Mages are a reflection of the new modern era about to be born. Other groups integral to the story are Knacked, those who only possess one single ability, and the Predeii, sorcerers older and more powerful than the Privileged. Lastly, there are the old gods, who are not pleased with the Revolution, and they are not forgiving.
Promise of Blood is full of battles, magic and mundane. It is rife with court intrigue and the maneuverings of a land in revolution. It features a cross section of characters from different cultural strata. It works on every level. The only good thing about reaching the end of the book is the knowledge that book two in the series comes out in February!
If you wait all year for the Lifetime, ABC Family and Hallmark Channel's Christmas movie lineups, these three new romances will be the perfect way to relax and unwind from the holiday hustle and bustle. Sherryl Woods brings readers back to Chesapeake Shores, Maryland in A Seaside Christmas. Songwriter Jenny Collins grew up as the only child of a single mother. Her world was shaken when her mother married into the big, close-knit O'Brien family, and Jenny suddenly had a new baby brother. After a very public breakup with country music bad boy Caleb Green, Jenny decides to leave Nashville and go home for the holidays to regroup and find her place in her new family. She is shocked when Caleb follows her home to win her back. Is Caleb there for her or because he knows that her song can help him break through as a solo artist?
In Sleigh Belles, Beth Albright continues her Sassy Belles series, which she describes as Steel Magnolias meets Sex and the City. Local news reporter Dallas Dubois has a chronic case of trying to get over Cal Hollingsworth, an affliction that she has suffered from since her high school crush on him. When the director of the local children's Christmas play can't continue, Dallas's station manager demands that she take charge, but what does she know about working with kids? Directing the play puts Dallas in regular contact with Cal who soon begins to see the real woman behind the mean-girl reputation. Albright's hilarious one-liners and abundant southern charm make this story a winner.
In Sarah Morgan's Sleigh Bells in the Snow, Jackson O'Neil left his successful business to go home and save Snow Crystal Resort and Spa, his family's business. Kayla Green wants to escape everything related to Christmas and the bad memories that the holidays bring up for her. She is coerced into spending a week at Snow Crystal to win Jackson's business for her PR firm. Once she's in Vermont, Kayla is completely out of her element and finds that saving Snow Crystal won't be as easy as she thought. Her attraction to Jackson is undeniable, but she doesn't think she can ever risk her heart again. Like Kayla, readers will be enchanted by the O'Neil family and Snow Crystal.
Adriana Trigiani completes her Valentine trilogy with her new novel The Supreme Macaroni Company. Valentine Roncalli, who took the reins of her family's business, the Angelini Shoe Company, in the previous novels, now comes into her own. The novel picks up right where the previous one ended. Valentine is newly engaged to Gianluca Vechiarelli, an Italian tanner and son of her beloved grandmother's new husband. They announce their engagement to the Roncalli family during the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, and the two of them embark on their lives together. The story pulls readers into the world of Valentine's boisterous Italian-American family as she and Gianluca plan their wedding, and we see the challenges that Valentine faces growing the family business and learning to balance work and family. Throughout the course of the novel, it is clear that happily ever after isn't always easy. In this novel, Trigiani does what she does best. She tells a story about family. Filled with warmth, humor, joy and sorrow, The Supreme Macaroni Company is all of the things that readers have grown to love about Trigiani's novels.
In addition to writing this novel, Trigiani has been working on another exciting project—a film adaptation of her debut novel Big Stone Gap. Written and directed by Trigiani herself, the film stars Ashley Judd, Jenna Elfman, Patrick Wilson and Whoopi Goldberg. Filming is now complete, and Trigiani says that the movie should be released in about a year.
New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey delights adults and teens alike with Dead Set. After the unexpected death of her father, Zoe and her mother must move to the Tenderloin area of San Francisco while they wait for dividends from her father's life insurance policy. To deal with her troubles in the real world, Zoe escapes into her dreams where she finds comfort and friendship from her dream brother, Valentine. A mysterious something — or someone — has also joined them in her dream world.
Back in the real world, Zoe happens upon a dark and dingy old record store. Most people walk right past the back room with the beaded curtain, but Zoe is curious and goes inside. There she discovers a collection of albums that contain something other than music. The grooves on these records contain lives — souls of people who have passed on but lingered in this world. Emmett, the proprietor of the record store, promises to help Zoe reconnect with her father. All it would cost her is a piece of herself. It starts with a lock of her hair. The next time, the price is a tooth. How much would you pay to spend another moment with someone you loved and lost? And at what point does the price become too much?
Kadrey is best known for his Sandman Slim series. This dark, twisted, stand-alone fantasy novel will appeal to those already familiar with his work as well as those who enjoy a quiet horror story with a strong, albeit sometimes lost, female character.
On a peaceful summer evening in the town of West Table, Missouri, the quiet of the night was shattered by a thunderous explosion. In 1929, the Arbor Dance Hall blew apart with a force that flattened the two story buildings adjacent to it, with a blast that was felt in the next town some 20 miles away. Forty-two people lost their lives and countless others suffered terrible injuries from either the fire or having been blown from the building. The devastation wrought by the dance hall explosion had an impact on every resident of the town. Daniel Woodrell's new novel The Maid's Version recounts many of their stories.
The mystery of what caused the explosion and who was responsible was never discovered. Could it have been mob related? Was it the evil deed of a band of Gypsies? Was it just a tragic accident or possibly something more ominous the town leaders wanted covered up? This literary novel is comprised of numerous small chapters, frequently describing the circumstances of individuals who ended up at the dance that fateful Saturday night. Interspersed throughout the minor character vignettes is the story of Alma DeGeer Dunahew, a woman who believes she knows the truth.
This remarkable tale is a fictionalized account of an event that occurred on April 13, 1928 in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. Woodrell believably captures the historical and cultural characteristics of the inhabitants of the Ozarks. It is the author's skillful narration that will mesmerize the reader and bind them to this powerful yet tragic tale.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones is older in Mad about the Boy, but in many ways, she's still the same old Bridget. Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy, returns to Fielding's beloved heroine, Bridget. Readers haven't seen her since The Edge of Reason, which was published in 1999. Fielding revealed before the novel's release that Mark Darcy, Bridget's long-time love, had died five years before the new book begins. Now, in her fifties, Bridget is balancing children, social media and a new much younger boyfriend.
Longtime Bridget Jones fans will enjoy seeing their favorite characters pop up again in the latest novel. Bridget's friends Tom and Jude make reappearances, and along with new friend Talitha, they help Bridget recover from the loss of Mark and look for love again. Daniel Cleaver, Bridget's former boss and one-time love interest, returns as an emergency babysitter for Bridget, and while slightly more mature, seems to have changed very little since the earlier books. Bridget's children, Billy and Mabel, bring a different sort of humor to the series, as do the parents and teachers at their school.
Bridget's initial flirtations with 29-year-old Roxster via Twitter will remind readers of her days as a thirty-something looking for love in London. Now her romantic mishaps come in a new form as technology has changed, but Bridget still brings her unique brand of awkward to the situation. Told in Bridget's diary format with the new addition of tweets and emails, readers will enjoy seeing her all grown up and dealing with new challenges, like motherhood, writing a screenplay and getting a second chance at love.
In the spring of 1885, New York socialite Beret Osmundsen is devastated to learn of the death of her estranged younger sister, Lillie. In Fallen Women by Sandra Dallas, Beret's investigation into her sister's death takes her from New York to Denver, from dazzling penthouses to seamy brothels.
Beret's aunt and uncle share the news of Lillie's death, but not the tragic details of her last days. Upon arriving in Denver, Beret learns that Lillie was working as a prostitute in a high-end brothel – the site of her murder. Beret is focused on tracking down Lillie's murderer and avenging her sister's death. She quickly encounters Detective Mick McCauley who is assigned to the case and looks to work with him in solving this tragedy. Mick, however, doesn't need any assistance and initially tries to quell her involvement. But never underestimate the power of a sister's love or the thirst for justice.
As Beret and Mick are forced together, they develop a mutual respect. Their growing bond will intrigue readers as the duo find themselves transported from the seedy tenderloin district to a high society peopled with the wealthiest and most influential. As she forges ahead in her determination to see the truth uncovered, Beret must deal with uncooperative and suspicious relatives, cope with the incivility of high society and come to terms with the fact that she never really knew her sister. Complicating things further are another murder and a growing number of potential suspects. Dallas does an excellent job of recreating nineteenth century Denver, crafting a well-paced mystery and creating a promising chemistry between Mick and Beret, which will have readers looking forward to their next rendezvous.

Eli Kulp: "People in New York just don't go to Philadelphia"
- i
- Infield286 Jan 22, 2014 07:24 AM
Some interesting commentary from Kulp and Serpico in this article and a unique perspective from chefs who are relocating down here from New York. I understand this article is in a NYC-centric blog, but the content still kind of rubbed me the wrong way...I understand there are some truths in what they are saying but it still comes off as elitist and if I was Kulp I would have refrained from saying something like "People in New York just don't go to Philadelphia", regardless of the context.
I get my Indonesian, Vietnamese and some sandwich fixes in Philly. Not to mention, photographing SEPTA stations is a chilling hoot.
I'm a New Yorker, but the rest of the world also exists...
re: BuildingMyBento
I went to John's on Snyder a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that's good stuff, though the plastic factory across the street might make you nauseous.
I don't take offense. It sounds like an observation of NYer behavior with no implied judgement on either city.
Is it correct? I don't know. Might be.
I read the article from beginning to end. I don't take offense of that sentence. The two cities are different. NYorkers are more willing to spend more, and are willing to chase the new hype and buzz compare to Philadelphians.
As for "People in New York just don't go to Philadelphia" statement, it can mean so many things. Most likely an exaggeration anyway.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I am going to Philadelphia tomorrow! And I am from NY (Brooklyn really)
re: Mangita
I'm on my way right now (NJ Transit) from NYC (with a stop over at The Borgata in AC) to dine tonight at Serpico. From everything I'm reading, Philadelphia is an exciting dining destination (and very convenient from NYC).
re: ellenost
Cool. I hope Mangita and you have a wonderful time in Philly. You may not able to find many high end restaurants like NYC, but there are many good quality restaurants at reasonable price range.
<very convenient from NYC>
Now, that I don't see. It is like what? 3 hours drive?
re: Chemicalkinetics
are you serious? it's like 1:45 to nyc.
it's almost exactly 100 miles.
re: alex1018
depends on traffic..........
And frankly driving to trenton and taking NJT is so much nicer.(Or spring for Amtrak).
re: alex1018
I think it depends how you measure it. If you mean like no traffic and getting from the edge of NY to the edge of PA, then you are absolutely correct. On the other hand, I like to measure from "the time I get out of my house/apartment in NYC" to "the time I park my car in Philadelphia and get out of my car".
(I don't live in NYC, but just an example.)
re: Chemicalkinetics
Via Amtrak it's less than 90 minutes. (Hate driving!)
re: ellenost
66 minutes via the Acela!
re: ellenost
But are you counting the just the Amtrak time or are you counting the time from your house to your final destination.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Regular Amtrak ride from NY Penn Station to Philadelphia 30th Street Station. Not too expensive either. Taxi ride from some of my favorite restaurants in downtown Manhattan to my apartment on the upper east side costs $25.
re: Chemicalkinetics
re: Mangita
And we're going next weekend to relax and yes to eat great food! It takes us between 1.45 and 2.5 hours to drive depending on traffic. Can't wait!
So many of our restaurants are challenging the tops in NY? ?????? Are you serious?
At best Vetri .. .everything else is second tier restaurants which are a dime a dozen in NY.
The only other category I would give Philadelphia is they have more BYOBs, which is not a good thing... Philadelphia is the king of the less profitable restaurants. That is nothing to write home about.
NY has fine dining comparable to any city in the world. You cannot say that about Philadelphia.
re: cwdonald
I love Philly, but I don't think Philly food scene is quiet the same as many other places, especially New York. I was in Vancouver and Toronto just a year ago, and both Canadian cities have better food scene than Philly in my personal opinion. I was originally from California, and I will also say the Bay Area food scene is better than Philly in my opinion.
This may just be the kind of food I enjoy.
On the other hand, Philly foods are affordable, and very resistance against hype -- which is a good thing, but a bad thing as well.
re: cwdonald
Sorry, but we'll have to disagree on Philly BYOBs.
The BYOB scene here is something to be very proud of, and it is pretty much unique. You can enjoy fantastic food in many cities around the world, but only in Philly do we have so many excellent places, spanning the spectrum, with free or virtually free BYOB.
I travel a fair bit overseas and around the US for business, and I try to organize a wine dinner with my online wine friends whenever I can. It makes a boring business trip a LOT more interesting, and is a great way to make new friends and learn about a new city. Depending on where you are going, it can be done, but the scarcity of good BYOBs in many other cities always makes it a bit of a challenge.
You can argue about where Philly ranks among the great cities for it's food scene (and I think it's not as widely appreciated as it should be), but for someone like me for whom the wine is equally as important as the food, Philly jumps 10 spots just because of all our BYOBs.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
BTW, I also frequent several online wine boards populated by wine geeks like myself.
A popular activity on these boards is to organize so-called "Offline" wine dinners where everyone brings a bottle (or 3) to share, often with people they've only met online.
[Actually, my friend Ron from Boston, who has been known to post on Chowhound, actually claims to have invented the term "Offline" way back in the era of Prodigy, before AOL, erobertparker.com, wineberserkers and all the rest.]
Anyway, watching people in other cities try to organize these dinners is always a little depressing for me...they sometimes have so few places to choose from or have to go to the same place over and over, that I fear I'll never be able to live anywhere else after being so spoiled by Philly BYOBs!
re: PhillyBestBYOB
I just joined wine berserkers. are you on it?
re: george2
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Even more important to me than the corkage is the fact that a chef here can affordably open their own their restaurant without having to deal with lot investors. That means the chef runs the place the way he or she sees fit. That's much harder in NYC
And of course people from New York visit philly, Tyler post on here all the time. The rest of the article seems accurate.
re: barryg
They may be able to open it on a shoestring, but the failure rate for BYos is much greater, and why any decent chef ultimately needs to get a liquor license.
BYOs are on average at least 50% less profitable than restaurants with liquor licenses. As someone who wants to see a thriving high end dining scene in Philadelphia, I long for the day when the BYO is a dinosaur. And the only way that will happen is when we change our antiquated liquor laws.
re: cwdonald
I'd be interested in what evidence supports your conclusion of a higher failure rate for BYOs relative to restaurants with liquor licenses, or is that just your gut feeling (it isn't mine, but I'm open to hear about actual data to support that contention). All restaurants have a very high failure rate. Looking at the list of restaurants that closed last year, it doesn't seem to have an disproportionate number of BYOBs on it.
No one is questioning that there is more money to be made with a liquor license than without one. But Blackfish wouldn't still be BYOBs unless there was a decent profit to be made without a licence that outweights the risk to their business from loosing their loyal BYOing customer base.
As far as I'm concerned, Philly does have a thriving high-end dining scene, and this is increasingly being recognized outside Philly (we are no longer just a sandwich and beer city). Is there a better up-and-coming food city on the east coast?
I know the most about cities I've lived in for long periods of time (Chicago, Seattle, Boston and Philly). Chicago is obviously not comparable, but as I've said before, although relatively small Boston is much more famous nationally for it's dining scene, I much prefer Philly, and think it is ultimately better (and not just because I prefer to dine at BYOBs).
I bet, if you took a poll of people who frequent fine dining establishments in Philly, and asked them if they would change our liquor laws if it also meant no more BYOBs, the majority wouldn't vote for change. There are few people like myself who truely pine for small mom-and-pop wine shops featuring Sardinian orange wines, or want to import cases of wine direct from Cali vineyards. Most people just want wine/beer to be a little cheaper, and more conveniently available. But Philadelphians do by and large like our BYOB culture. It's what makes us unique.
I want to see the liquor laws change, but I have to admitt that propper change would also involve making it much easier and cheaper to get a liquor license (why should it be so hard for a young chef to open her own business?), and that would be the deathnell of our BYOB culture.
But we BYOBed fairly regularly in Boston, where BYOBing is illegal, so we'd probably survive.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Weirdly, there seems to be no more restriction of liquor licenses here than in Boston, where there's a cap of 650 licenses for the city.
re: lowereastrittenhouse
Your right, I remember a story from a couple of years ago for Brookline MA where they were hitting the limit on liquor licenses. Typical political BS: let's make it hard to open business that will actually employee people!
As I understand it, in Philly the issue is not the number of licenses, but the high cost of the licenses, and maybe the lenght of time it can take?
re: PhillyBestBYOB
I believe the issue is the same in both cities: licenses capped for each city (proportionately to population) by the state. http://articles.philly.com/2013-02-22...
re: PhillyBestBYOB
As with nearly all things, the scarcity of licenses is the primary reason they are so expensive. Since we're at the limit, a new restaurant doesn't get a "new license" from the state, it buys one from a pre-existing business.
re: caganer
Ah, that explains it.
$1.6M for a liquor license? Those must have been some swanky bubbles.
re: cwdonald
Do you think that will happen in the next decade cwdonald? Beer at Wegmans is a start but I want me some three buck chuck.
Should have read the link to grub street before my issuing my curt opinion. After reading grubstreet; I still believe that, in context or not, "People in New York just don't go to Philadelphia" is totally ignorant. Of course they do, perhaps not like Philadelphians go to New York, especially for a dining experience but I personally have over 20 personal examples of New Yorkers who visit Philadelphia frequently. I thought the article was well done, enjoyed that perspective. I love Philadelphia, love it for exactly what it is and what it is not. Having lived in San Francisco I agree that the food scene is/was better there than here but not to the point of frustration with Philly which gets better every year. Must also concur that thinking Philadelphia is a significant challenge to New York's food scene is way off base by any standard. World class cities seldom demure in the availability of quality and quantity to smaller metro areas.

Who cares what NYers think? I'd rather eat here any day.
(Whis is not to say we have anything comparable to Per Se, etc. But I just find the Philly food scene a lot more fun, and less pretentious. Lines for Cronuts at 5AM??? Give me a effing break!)
re: Bigley9
re: sal_acid
I was just in Manhattan walking around and I was impressed that in addition to all the really good places to eat, Manhattan may have more horrible places than Philly as well and perhaps a higher percentage of them. These are going concerns, apparently successful, not in the fringes of the city, feeding lots of people...and they suck. You can tell when you walk in and you are sure when you see the food.
Downtown Philly doesn't have many of these.
re: sal_acid
The bad restaurants in Manhattan are mostly the cheap restaurants.... like Ray's Pizza. The expensive crappy ones are usually weeded out within a few months.
re: deprofundis
The ones of which I speak were far from pizza joints. Papillion Bistro...Fireside.
Papillion was bad food prepared mostly badly, indifferent service, dirty.
Fireside was nicely decorated but the food was not even good esp for the price.
re: sal_acid
OK, that's true, in certain areas like midtown there are tons of crappy, expensive restaurants.
re: deprofundis
Little Italy, Times Square, Midtown - crappy expensive restaurants abound
re: JTPhilly
Nobody serious about dining eats in those neighborhoods. (Except for the few really high-end places in midtown.)
re: deprofundis
Why does anyone dine there, serious or not?
Applebees would be a step up.
re: sal_acid
It's not a coincidence that the neighborhoods with the highest concentration of crappy, overpriced restaurants are also the most touristy.
re: deprofundis
Philadephians are such wimps about driving to NYC (I'm looking at you DK)!
It's fairly consistently 1 hour 50 min drive from my place to Midtown, and I have to drive south to Philly first before driving back North.
All you need is a good GPS with traffic.
Going up tomorrow. Brunch at The Modern (there is great food in Midtown if you know where to look).
re: PhillyBestBYOB
I haven't been to The Modern since Kreuther left. Used to be one of my favorites though.
re: deprofundis
Only been to the Bar Room. Would like to try it for dinner sometime.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Agreed. We often go up for the day. From our house (eastern Montco) to the Lower East Side or Village is about 90 minutes.
re: deprofundis
That's unfortunately not true. There are entire neighborhoods here with lots of very expensive crappy restaurants that seem to have a steady clientele. I love eating in Philly!

re: PhillyBestBYOB
There is some confusion here...
ALAN Richman is from Philly and he wrote the recent GQ article on cheesesteaks.
ADAM Richman is a Travel Channel personality. He is probably most famous for hosting Man vs Food, but he also hosted the Best Sandwich in America show (also for Travel Channel). His bio says he was born and raised in Brooklyn.
re: Philly Ray
Yes, and Alan RicKman is an English actor.
(just to clear up more confusions)
re: Chemicalkinetics
And there is also a singer named Adam Richman .. who is not the actor ...
re: cwdonald
Wow, so many similar names.
I grew up in NY but spent 12 years working in Philly before moving back. I always look forward to visiting Philly, now that I'm better informed about all the great restaurants (mostly BYOs) there and I'm always visiting the Philadelphia board to keep up to date. The NY scene just seems so over-hyped to me now.

Here's my 2 cents. I grew up in the Delaware Valley, lived in Philly for 8 years, and I now live in NYC. Everything Kulp and Serpico said is right. Of course there are individual exceptions, but generally speaking people from NYC don't travel down to Philly to eat. Likewise, people from Philly rarely travel to NYC for any reason.
With regards to comparing the restaurant scenes in Philly and NYC, here's the deal. Philly has a lot of terrific restaurants. I haven't traveled all over the country to eat, but I'm sure Philly is one of the top 10, maybe top 5, cities for dining.
However, NYC is just so much larger, wealthier, more competitive, and more of a tourist draw, that they are able to sustain a huge number of very fine and expensive restaurants. Two star restaurants in NYC would be 3 and 4 star ("bell") restaurants in Philly. At the highest levels, probably only Vetri could compete in NYC. Vetri - a 30 seat restaurant, by the way - is packed during weekends, but very easy to get a table during the week. If Vetri moved to NYC and doubled the number of seats, you'd never be able to get in even on a random Tuesday night. There are just a lot more rich people, tourists, expense account diners, Wall Street people, etc, to support way more of these places in NYC - and not just on weekends, every single night of the week. Probably the only other city in the US that could compete with NYC is LA - and I still think NYC would come out on top.
re: deprofundis
I think you're absolutely wrong to say people from Philly rarely travel to NYC. That certainly hasn't been my experience in the decade I've been here.
But I think you hit the nail on the head here: "There are just a lot more rich people, tourists, expense account diners, Wall Street people, etc, to support way more of these places in NYC - and not just on weekends, every single night of the week. "
In addition to that point, or to continue it, those top tier NY places often exist as much as vanity projects for famous chefs as they are profit making ventures and for that NYC provides a stage of unrivalled size and prestige where someone like Thomas Keller can afford to break even or lose money on Per Se just for the notoriety he gains from having one of "the restaurants." Philly could never match that, even if Comcast owned all of the national media.
re: caganer
I grew up in the Philly area and lived there over 30 years. Nobody I know ever goes to NYC with any regularity. There's not really a need to. Philly's a big city and pretty much has anything you'd want.
Per Se is an unusual example. NYC isn't Vegas. Virtually all "celebrity chef" places in NYC sink unless the chef is actually there.
re: deprofundis
<Nobody I know ever goes to NYC with any regularity>
It depends on the definition of regularity. If it is weekly, then I agree with you that very few people travel from Philly to NYC just to eat. However, if we are talking about every 3 months or every 6 months, then I can see it.
re: Chemicalkinetics
In my experience, your average Philadelphian can count on one hand the number of times they visit NYC in a decade. Of course CHers may not be average Philadelphians. :D
re: deprofundis
FWIW, I know a fair number of foodies in the Philly area, and very few of them seem to visit NYC with any great regularity (more than a couple of times a year).
I've also been amazed since moving here that of my non-foodie acquaintances who live in the Philly 'burbs, virtually none of them ever go into Philly to dine. If they can't get it into Philly, I'm pretty sure they never get into NYC.
cagarner, I have no idea what you are talking about Per Se being break-even or a loss-leader. No one puts that kind of money into a restaurant without the expectation of making a decent profit.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
There's no way Per Se is losing money charging > $300 a head for the food alone, with every seat pretty much always taken.
re: deprofundis
their gross revenue was recently quoted to be around $7.5 million a year.
Think their overhead is much less than that? Their rent could easily equal their revenue.
And remember, the staff aren't working for tips so they're getting a big paycheck - at least $75k/year for sure. They have 5000 sq ft of kitchen space filled with expensive equipment that needs maintaining. They have lots of perishable inventory.
Per Se can't be making much money
re: caganer
That's $625,000 a month. Backing out tax and 20% for foh labor, that comes to $485,000. Let's say 25% food costs - approx $125k - that leaves $360,000 to pay fixed costs (rent & stuff) and boh labor, plus profit. Let's say their rent is $100,000 a month - that still leaves over $250,000 to pay boh labor, and incidentals like flowers, napkins, and immersion circulators. BOH labor is cheap. Maybe the chef de cuisine and sous chef make money, though probably no more than like $300k annually between the two of them. Everybody else is slave labor. They're probably profiting between $100k-$200k a month. The biggest variable is their rent.
re: caganer
I've long suspected that Keller was given a good deal rent-wise so he could add luster to the address. Hard to see how else a resto...even that resto...could survive there.
re: sal_acid
There are a lot of restaurants in the TWC...
re: deprofundis
maybe they all get a break
re: sal_acid
He was brought in as one of the "anchors" for the project but even then, with retail rents surpassing $2000/sq ft in Manhattan, paying $100,000/month(as estimated by deprofundis) for 13,000 sq. ft is more than a good deal.
re: caganer
If they were paying $2,000/sf for 13,000sf, that would be $2.167 million per month. They'd be losing over $1.5 million per month on the rent alone.
re: deprofundis
I bet he's paying much less - $2000 is what the market is bearing today for retail spaces. A few years ago it was certainly much less.
And it's entirely possible, even likely, that the 5000sq ft kitchen rents for less than the 8,000 sq ft of dining-room and office space.
My point is that $100,000/month is probably a low figure. I also think a 25% food cost is a low figure. Forbes quotes the average food cost at fine dining restaurants to be 38% of gross revenue. Average profit margins for fine dining restaurants are 1.8%, 4% for all restaurants.
If Per Se profited $100-200k/month their margin would be 16-33%. Does that really seem realistic to you?
I remember watching a Ferran Adria interview where he explained that El Bulli never made a dime - and he was booked every night (a year in advance) and grossed about $500/head.
re: caganer
Yep el bulli lost a ton of money.
re: caganer
We're talking about a place that charges a $40 supplement for foie gras. The $7.5m revenue number seems vastly understated. I believe Per Se has 62 seats, not even counting the salon - and they turn the tables, they are open 7 days a week, and they serve lunch three days a week. From this you can estimate that they're doing *at least* 50,000 covers a year. At $7.5m this implies a $150 average check per cover - laughably low. The real number is probably more than triple that.
re: deprofundis
so you think Keller lied to NY Mag about his revenue?
At some point you have to accept that your argument was a stretch. Or not. No big deal. I've demonstrated pretty well from the facts that are available that your assertions are questionable at best
re: caganer
And I've demonstrated that there is no way his top line number is only $7.5 million.
re: deprofundis
re: Boognish
I'm responding to somebody else's assertion that Per Se is a "loss leader", when nothing could be further from the truth.
re: deprofundis
I think we can all agree that the restaurant business is not the best way to become rich.
Wasn't it Tavern on the Green, the second highest grossing restaurant in the US, that went bankrupt a few years ago?
re: PhillyBestBYOB
That's correct, and it's now going to be run by the Beau Monde people.
re: caganer
By the way, the New York Magazine article that quotes the $7.5 million revenue number is 9 years old, back when the tasting menu at Per Se cost $150. The current price is $310.
re: deprofundis
<your average Philadelphian can count on one hand...>
This is likely to be true, but this is probably just because of the distance as opposed to something special about NYC vs Philly. Most people who live in one city do not frequently drive to another city (2 hr). This is throwing away 4 hour worth of time for just the traveling duration.
Oh, also my $.02 on the BYO thing. Free BYO is great if you fall into one of the following two camps: 1) You are a wine connoisseur/collector, so before you go you can review the menu and select a couple great bottles to bring with you. 2) You're cheap and don't care so much what you drink, you just don't want to pay the wine markups. I'm not really into wine, so if I brought my own I'd have no idea what to pick. Wine lists at restaurants are (supposed to be) curated, and they have staff on hand to help you select. In any case, I usually order cocktails or beer anyway. To me, BYO is a big negative.
re: deprofundis
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Of course. What I'm saying is that unless you're a wine connoisseur, the average person has no idea what they're doing when they select a wine. Their motivation is to save money.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
And some of our better wine shops (ie: in DE or NJ) are often very well versed in the menus at the BYOBs and able to assist with quality selections.
re: Bigley9
All the more reason why it's better to have those people in the actual restaurant as opposed to having to drive to another friggin state to pick up a bottle of wine.
re: deprofundis
That's a whole other discussion
re: Bigley9
Wine-food pairings isn't rocket science, despite what a lot of somms would have you believe.
My daughter and her Dad are exceptions to the rule… they have a once a month 'date' to NYC for dinner …
I can go to Vetri and get a tasting menu and have a better, more fun, just as tasty experience without having to drive two hours just to be in NYC
I am not about the hyped up-over priced-hard to get into restaurants, where the servers act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing food to your table!
(been there, done that, over it. Maybe I'm just an old fart)
I LOVE fine dining!
I love REALLY good food
You can get both here in Philadelphia without having to drive to NYC and without having to drop $$$$$$ for two people to eat and have some nice wine
re: cgarner
You can certainly eat well in Philadelphia, and for a reasonable price, but your options are severely limited at the top end.
I take that whole article with a grain of salt. New Yorkers are notorious for their disbelief that anything worthwhile can happen outside their precious five boroughs. Check out New York magazine's attitude towards outsiders in this insulting cover this week. https://twitter.com/NYMag/status/4276...
re: foobooz
<< New Yorkers are notorious for their disbelief that anything worthwhile can happen outside their precious five boroughs>>
and french people are notorious for their disbelief that any good wine can be produced outside of france
and, and, and
this whole phenomenon is so common that it's really the norm worldwide.
I would go to Philly just for the DiNics Roast Pork Sandwich. (And the Reading Terminal Market in general). New York really has pretty lousy sandwiches overall compared to Philadelphia.
And I know John's is supposedly better, but you have to take a day off in the middle of the week to get there.
re: jcmods
re: Bigley9
And actually open an hour later than normal on weekdays til 4pm, (though they open at nine rather than 6:45.. )
re: jcmods
I do like DiNics Roast Pork Sandwich, but I won't just go to Philly for it.
As a New York native who thought I would never leave and a long time Philly hater before I decided that I actually love it here Philly and NYC are very different places. I love New York, and I also love that Philadelphia is not New York.
From the standpoint of a retailer the lower volume, less spendy culture (we don't have Wall St and "bonus season" and IMO this is a good thing) is a drawback - as a consumer I consider it a plus. If I am trying to sell people over priced dinner and drinks I would consider it a negative.
NYers actually do visit Philadelphia quite often - and oftentimes stay for good.
Lower cost to start up also lets Philly stay a bit strange and off beat and I like that too.
Yeah I think that the writer creates a divide between Philly and New York that doesn't have to be really. Of course NY has many many more truly high end restaurant than Philly. But is your typical NY foodie eating at these places more than three times a year? The wife and I try and get up to NY from Philly a few times a year and we don't get sticker shock at the places we frequent up there despite not being New Yorkers. Over the past decade we've typically visited places like Balthazar, Pastis, Landmarc, and have found the food and prices as good as Philly.
It's true, though. I'm an ex-New Yorker living year for 40 years and my New York relatives never came to my Philadelphia major family events (weddings, etc.) It's like they think there's a big hole in the Jersey Turnpike just south of Newark and they're afraid they'll fall in!

New Berlin - Police this week were still investigating a bomb threat that caused a lockdown at New Berlin Eisenhower Middle/High School, 4333 S. Sunny Slope Road, last week.
On Sept. 27, the school received its second bomb threat in three days. The first one was discovered Sept. 25. Both involved scrawled messages on a boys room stall.
New Berlin police are working with school officials to determine whether both threats are the work of the same student or students, said New Berlin Police Chief Joe Rieder, whose department conducted a building sweep in both incidents.
In the first incident, which came at the end of the school day, the investigation began after students were dismissed, and parents were notified that evening.
Though the second threat was discovered while school was in session, the school was not evacuated because the threat was not considered credible, Rieder said. As a precaution, the school went into a lockdown while a building sweep was conducted.
In the second case, police used a dog to sniff out any potential bomb beginning at 1:15 p.m., while the school was in lockdown mode, Rieder said. Normal school activities resumed at 2:15 p.m.
However, a homecoming assembly that was to be held Sept. 27 was postponed to Monday. No other events tied to Homecoming, culminating in the game this Friday, were impacted, said Courtney Fryatt, activities and athletic director.
There was increased police presence at school Friday, following the Sept. 27 threat. The school's staff is continuing to monitor all areas of the school building, Principal Michael Fessenmaier said.
School officials are encouraging parents to talk with their children about the threats.
According to a news release, the school district is encouraging anyone with information to come forward confidentially to a teacher or administrator or to the New Berlin Police Department.

Special Correspondent
It was in trouble owing to inadequate supply of raw tea leaves
Udhagamandalam: The Industrial Cooperative (INDCO) Tea Factory at Ebbanad near here got a fresh lease of life on Wednesday thanks to the efforts of the Minister for Rural Industries Pongalur N.Palanisamy and the Khadi Board Minister K.Ramachandran.
The factory which started its processing activities about thirteen years ago had run into rough weather often due to reasons like inadequate supply of raw tea leaves.
Consequently it had to suspend production between 12.9.2002 and 15.10.2002, 5.1.2005 and 30.6.2005, and 16.2.2007 and 31.12.2009.
With members of the factory urging the government to re-open the factory, the government and the Tea Board had earmarked a sum of Rs. 62.34 lakh to install new machinery.
After a month-long trial run, the factory was re-opened on Wednesday in order to resume operations.
Addressing the gathering at the factory on the occasion, Mr.Palanisamy hoped that it will not become necessary to close the factory again.
He asked the small tea growers in Ebbanad and surroundings including Kadanad and Thuneri to treat the factory as their own and be faithful to it by supplying good quality tea leaves regularly, so that the factory could benefit.
Farmers should extend a helping hand to the government.
If they do not cooperate the government will be forced to auction the factory.
Mr.Ramachandran said that a committee would be formed to ensure that supply of good quality leaves to the factory is not affected.
The Udhagamandalam MLA B.Gopalan and the Coonoor MLA A.Soundarapandian also spoke.
The Special Officer, Indcoserve Vinoth Kumar, welcomed the gathering at the function that had been organised.

"It's a great feeling to have an idea and see it grow into reality," said Secord, "I was able to sell enough prints so the team at Genesis Behavioral Health can purchase winter clothing for local families who may have otherwise gone without this winter. The final total of $225 was way beyond what I had initially hoped to raise, and I am so grateful to everybody who helped this cause and purchased my artwork."
"Every year, the needs of the children and families we serve seem to exceed the resources we have available," said Kristen Welch, Director of Development & Communications at Genesis Behavioral Health, "Mr. Secord's generosity will make a difference for many of the children and families in our Plymouth program. We are once again humbled by the support of our community, and are so grateful for their efforts on our behalf."

THE Macs Markets are a Central Coast secret. The local grapevine and a couple of hand painted signs dotted along the roads leading into the coastal hamlet are the only advertising the Macs Markets need.
They're run from the tiny Macmasters Beach community hall on the Saturdays of mid-year public holiday weekends, with a brass band, good old-fashioned cake stalls and a fundraiser barbecue, but the biggest drawcard of the Macs Markets is the second-hand book sale.
Some of my best-loved tomes are from the Macs Markets, including vintage children's picture books, volumes of garden annuals, paperback classics, knitting books and, of course, cook books.
The cook books picked up on my last visit to the markets, during the October long weekend, were filled with magazine clippings, handwritten recipes and momentos from a trip to New Orleans and Florida, in the States. It's one of my favourite thing about these old cook books; that they're living archives of what was cooked and eaten at a particular time in history, and a record too of what the previous owner favoured. Oil and grease marks give away a favourite cake recipe and a telling sign of a favourite and oft-cooked dish is where a book falls open all too easily.
With Christmas cooking to start soon, I already know the recipes I'll be digging out, and can't help but think what the op shopper or market-goers will think of our family favourites when they stumble across my solid little collection in the, I hope, distant future.
