I LOVE …
… large wine glasses filled only one-third of the way up the sides, as they do at Spring and Tru, so I can swirl, sniff and savor before swallowing whatever fine vintage has been poured.
— Bill Daley, food and wine reporter
… Nordstrom’s legendary return policy. It is so generous, so unquestioning, that it should be a model for the nation, if not the world. Store credit? Forget it.
— Ellen Warren, shopping adviser
… Virgin Megastore. Big-box stores often have a much better selection and friendlier staff than, say, Reckless Records.
— Allison Benedikt, editor
… Sabor y Cuba’s Cuban sandwich and rice and (black) beans. Nothing better.
— Glenn Jeffers, reporter
I HATE …
… sauce at Fat Willy’s. I always want to take the ribs home, wash off that dreadful vinegary yuck and put any other sauce in the world on them.
— Monica Eng, reporter
… hostesses who don’t smile. Isn’t that their job?
— Phil Vettel, restaurant critic
… manufactured hype lines outside of clubs like Enclave and Le Passage, when inside the place is half-empty.
— Fauzia Arain, reporter
… unisex bathrooms at Carnivale. Glorious looking place, pretty disgusting bathroom on a recent Saturday night. Ewww.
— Linda Bergstrom, editor
