Review Icon minkey reviewed Chowder in Picnic Food:
This all depends. I really like New England clam chowder, which is the white, but only have it if I'm near water - at a restaurant on the ocean or by a lake or river. Somehow I think it will taste better. The red I will eat at any occasion although it is much more rare, I like it about equally - it doesn't taste quite as good, but the clams have more taste because they aren't blinded by the sauce.

Review Icon minkey reviewed Rocky in Drama Movies:
I forgot how good Rocky is. It's on today, being Independence Day. Rocky is really a humble guy, a guy with talent who was very close to being a never was if it weren't for a lucky break - Apollo Creed feeling a bit like a good samaritan, or just wanting to get some local publicity, comes to Philadelphia, feels the brotherly love and decides to give a nobody a shot. Still Rocky doesn't want to do it, he's a very simple, humble guy, almost lethargic, hardly passionate about anything. But it grows, people like Paulie and Mickey and Adrian believe in him when he doesn't. Most of the movie's not even really about boxing, it could be about anything, the American dream really. Makes you think about how many never-was's there are out there, because they have the talent but just don't have the drive, and didnt have the people surrounding them who cared enough to push and encourage.

I used to kick it in this place quite a bit. The top floor where the cafe is overlooks union square. Usually hopping and a good place to read or talk.

It's pretty tight in there and the wait is truly bad. It has some notoriety and the food is good, pancakes are very good. But honestly I would walk a few blocks to a much nicer area and grab breakfast at Sears on Powell.

It wasn't a bad show, but I won't see it again. Much less acrobatics than I anticipated and much less excitement. I was expecting this to be about fighting, from reviews and what folks have said. It was probably 20% fighting. The premise is that Imperial twins were minding their own business playing with family, when they were attacked by Chinese gangsters and separated. One of the twins gets stranded on a beach and things like crabs and starfish come out to play, which is silly. The other twin hooks up with a buddy and plays with hand shadows. The last twenty minutes, which was a fight scene in which two sides were fighting on a vertical platform, so that you were looking at their heads, was pretty cool. The costumes were also good but not as creative as other shows.

This is the greenest course I've played in since living in the Southwest. Scenic as well, nestled in between two mountain ranges. It's a challenging course although wide open. About 30 minutes from the strip, I wouldn't make a special trip out but I wouldn't mind playing it again.

I'd have to be in agreement that Hard Rock is the best Las Vegas pool. It's hard to trump what magellan's said but I did see two girls making out and pulling their tops off this afternoon. We also ran into Indiana Pacer's Jarrett Jack. From our room, you can open the door and peer off the railing onto the whole pool(s). It appears to be a full block of pool, with intermitant palm trees/laguna areas. I'm told that Sunday's hangover party is pretty sweet as well.

One of a handful of must-visits in downtown Phoenix. On the fringe of downtown, in the arts district, the Roosevelt is a low key wine bar inside an old house. There is a great selection of domestic beers and some decent snack food, like bologne sandwiches, grilled cheese, tomato soup, and soft pretzels. The inside looks like a house from about 60 years ago, dim lighting and the walls in each room are painted a different dark color. Great place for a happy hour, at night it can get pretty busy and it's not easy to find a seat. I would also recommend coming out to First Friday; the first Friday of every month in the arts district is hopping with people, there is an art festival and all the art galleries are open, and there plenty of food vendors and local bands. The Roosevelt is basically in the middle of it.

I'm a big fan of Papago. It's on the fringe of Tempe and Phoenix, and I can get there in about a 10 minute bike ride so I'm in there quite a bit. It's big enough where you can sort of get lost and forget you have cities and traffic all the way around you. There is plenty of green and palm trees, and brooks running through, and lagunas to picnic. Also inside are the Phoenix Zoo, botanical gardens & the Oakland A's have play their Spring ball here.

Kind of reminds me of BU in that it's hard to find the core of the campus; there are some sparatic buildings and housing. I spent some time visiting a friend here several years ago. She liked it, enjoyed going to school in the middle of DC and thought the political science program was pretty good. But I agree I would have selected Georgetown.
