- Minar, Minar, on the wall: David Snyder rocks an extended Michael Jordan metaphor to weigh the worth of Minar Palace, the highly regarded Indian restaurant that closed in 2006 only to reopen at 13th and Walnut. He even throws in a wine recommendation for the spot (it’s BYO).
- This week’s Feeding Frenzy touches on four new/notable openings — Stephen Starr’s Butcher & Singer, brand-new Bella Vista Medi spot Mazag Café, Teri’s Restaurant in the Italian Market and Coconut Grove above Copa on South.
- Trey Popp takes on Home Slice, the casual Liberties Walk pizza parlor/takeout from the owners of A Full Plate Café. Verdict? “They’re serving better pizza with more variety than many places that charge a higher price. Discover it already.”
- Dinner and a movie is one of the most time-tested date approaches in history, second only to cow tipping/rodeo clowning. (What? Where are you from?). This week’s Top 5 list features Gary M. Kramer’s top picks for dinemacinema DESTINATIONS — think local film screenings at N. 3rd, renting Bollywood flicks at Tiffin, etc.
- Wondering What’s Cooking this week? Let Nikki V. help: wine dinner at Rum Bar, a MANNA Pie in the Sky happy hour, election night debauchery at Johnny Brenda’s and more.
