Stumptown Coffee: Let's Call a Spade A Spade Here

Stumptown tastes like it is "flavored" coffee because it has flavors you don't necessarily get in other blended coffees -- or in the case of Starbucks or Peet's, seriously over-roasted coffees.
Try some of those single source, heirloom Ethiopian varietals (I know, I am sick of the overuse of the word "heirloom" too). Those coffees will absolutely blow your mind. The flavor profiles are more like wine than the muddied burnt brews you normally taste.

Coat Check Tipping in the Recession

Check your coat. People drape their coats over the backs of the chair and they are stepped on, they fall on the floor, or someone will spill something on it. And if you have a nice coat - even if nothing bad happens - it is better for the coat to be on a hanger. Well worth a few bucks.
AND even if you are sitting in the front room, coats thrown all over the place makes the restaurant look sloppy and gross.

How Many Pounds of Chicken Wings Did New Yorkers Eat on Super Bowl Sunday?

And the follow-up question would be: "How many pounds of antacid were sold on Monday?"

Soto: Best Japanese Restaurant/Sushi Bar in New York?

Soto is amazing. Certainly in contention for best in the city.
He does things with Uni that boggle the mind and palate. As far as spsolomon's comment that the ingredients in a 1200 dollar meal are better than a 300 dollar menu... it may be the silliest thing I have heard. (That would mean Le Cirque is waaaay better than Momofuku Saam)
