people that YELP are scumbags

Also, If it's vagina in your face you are looking for..

(For sometimes LOL but mostly sad reviews of UK-based prostitutes - www.punternet.com where Johns write "field reports" about the ladies they visit.)

i think she's quoting 2live there?

Used to have a lot of fond memories of this place back in the day until I visited with a couple of friends last week. Let me just say:

GHETTO and DEPRESSING.

All the exhibits appeared to be falling apart, the exhibits were dirty and unkempt...and it seemed like half the animals had been "taken in" away from exhibit leaving visitors with empty cages to stare at. Okay...and the animals that WERE out and about in view from visitors looked like they were on Prozac or Xanax. Lions, gazelles, and hippos don't look this depressed on National Geographic.

I watched a monkey eat a carrot for 7 minutes just to see what it would do w/ the very bottom end of the carrot that is all rough and dirty.

He threw it at me!

Not a shabby place. Will go again to pay a visit to that monkey.

Time for some female perspective.
I came here for my 18th birthday and let's just say it was one of the most fun nights of my life.
Though I must say it was only super fun because I was super wasted. Otherwise, I probably would have felt too awkward to the point of tears.
As a strip club virgin, I had never been manhandled by strippers before. So imagine my surprise when I was licked, squeezed, bitten and a million other erotic things by strippers...I didn't even tip them! They came to me. Advice to guys who want a good show without having to shell out too many dollar bills: Bring a girl. Other girls are like stripper bait because they're less threatened. Some creepy old men paid me and my girlfriends to sit next to them.
It was a great night of many firsts...first trip to a titty bar, first time someone forced me to spank them, first time a girl picked a dollar up off my head with her vagina....
I suggest the faint at heart go wasted.
Definitely will go there again (drunk, of course)!

"Yankee Stadium South"

This was the first baseball stadium I had visited besides Yankee Stadium at the time. I was completey blown away. The first thing that wowed me was Eutaw Street. The way the walkway was built right into the Stadium (or vice versa) is awesome. Bars and restaurants line the street overlooking the outfield. The warehouse bordering the park gives Oriole Park a very identifiable historic uniqueness (big words). Remember, this was the pioneer park of the baseball renaissance that so many cities have followed.

My favorite part of the park is the platform the hangs over right center field. You feel like you're actually in the field of play waiting for a pop up.

I also wanna mention the close proximity to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Its by far the nicest part of the city (just watch "The Wire" to see how ghetto B'more really is). Watch sailboats float out into the Cheasapeake Bay while eating crab legs at one of the many restaurants in the area. Awesome.

Cub Foods

Category: Grocery
1 star rating
9/27/2007
A guy I used to rock climb with was telling me one time: "Where Cub moves in, Rainbow moves out."

He was pleased by this, he preferred Cub.

I'd been shopping pretty happily at Rainbow, and if a non-rock climber had told me this, I wouldn't have paid it any mind. But this man was a fellow traveler in the ways of the rock, a connoisseur of the bliss that is a long stretch rugged mineral, a practitioner of that fine art of walking on air, held to this earthly matter by only his chalk stained hands and a delicate life line. In short, he was a better person than a non-rock climber, and therefore his opinion carried more weight.

So when the chance arose, I tried a Cub Foods.

You know how every grocery store on earth has the produce section right as you walk in the door, so you are greeted by a bounty of colored, fresh, enticing wholesome things? Cub has a huge wall of warehouse looking boxes, forcing you to do a sharp turn continue down a depressing, industrial passage.

You emerge from your passage of doom into a slightly less industrial main floor. Again, bucking the norm, the "aisles" have been arranged in a non-sensical passages that eliminate any coherent path you could take across this store. I've been to this exact location at least three times, and I couldn't tell you where to find a thing or draw you a map of the place's layout if my life depended on it.

I'm guessing they must have decent prices or something, because something brings the fat suburban hordes in there. I can't tell you if you can save an extra 5 cents on a can of high fructose corn syrup here; I honestly don't play close enough attention, and was probably trying to build a signal fire so that rescuers could find me instead of calculating if I was saving enough on my purchases of packaged gravy to afford the new 'Chicken Soup For the Soul' book over at Half-Price Books.

So if you feel dead inside, by all means, shop at this Cub Foods. But hell, why would you believe me. I'm a rock climber, and apparently we grocery stores falls outside our area of expertise.

+1 Laura P. I have a degree in English and the article was basically nonsense to me.

Communication in modern culture is less about communicating and more about elitist posturing and showing off. That article is a prime example of it: an incomprehensible mess that lots of people pretend to understand because they don't want people to think they're stupid. Kind of like Crispin Glover's What is it? trilogy. The emperor has no clothes.

Maybe yr degree is faulty? Cuz I don't have one, and I thought it was pretty funny. Plus I don't think anyone claims to understand those CG flicks.

What is it about slow post offices?

Apparently, I was responding not to max but to some doink responding to the article, as transcribed by max. So, take that, doink responder.

I guess I just despise the people in that piece for their entitled yet ignorant hiveminding. Also memo to girl with English degree: if you have to mention your BA on Yelp, degree was issued on toilet paper amirite?

People who study English have entitlement issues. People who Yelp have entitlement issues. People who study English Yelp.

i studied english and fuck that imo

this thread remains U&K

am I the only person who, every time he sees yelp mentioned anywhere, automatically internally involuntarily thinks "people that yelp are scumbags"?

also I would like to say that If it's vagina in your face you are looking for..this place is paradise. should have immediately been made a board description

yeah i think that too, even though i don't actually agree with it (how else would i find hairdressers in new places?)

(ughhhhhhhhhhhh)

Not at all.

Sanjang Coffee Garden

Do you ever find yourself barreling through traffic to pick up your date who you promised an enchanting and unique evening? In actuality, you are frantically yelping restaurants and coffee shops on the blackberry, which scrolls remarkably long and slow and you get a bunch of unhelpful reviews.

That happened to me last night. But then I remembered my "Ace in the hole/Go-to-guy" Dave A. Of course I have him on speed dial. He takes out all the sexy ladies and I knew he would know of a place.

So I called that hunky know-it-all and asked him where I should go. I am on pins and needles with excitement and anticipation by this time, and then in his calm and reassuring voice he says, "Sanjang".

Is this man omnipotent?!
I was just a couple of blocks away from that very location!

Thanks Dave A, I owe you one. Please save a spot on your dance card for me, and btw, what is your favorite flavor shaved ice?..."
So..here's the lowdown for anyone in my shoes tonight:

-Corner of 1st and Virgil. Valet Parking $1.50 well worth it.
-Chilly outdoor seating but w/ fireplaces and heaters and blankets provided
-Great Ramen Noodles and Curry ( get spicy)
-Pricey Drinks and really cool looking giant desserts ( yogurts, shaved ice)
-Cute but loud korean waiters
-Open til 2 am
-Non-alcoholic- think coffee, tea, desserts
-Super romantic
-Smell like bbq when you get home
-Good for a business meeting as well
-Ghetto neighborhood
-Spacious upstairs and downstairs
-Great for a big party

Chan Dara

DAAAYYYYUM this place was PACKED on a Monday night! I went for Happy Hour at around 6 and it looked like everyone else had the same idea. I had been to Chan Dara before, for dinner, but it was soooo long ago I don't remember a thing. But when I heard about all the HH goodness, I knew I had to get back there ASAP to check it out. Apparently most of West LA already knew about it too, because they were all shoved into the bar area that night to get some. And it was pretty tight, cuz that area is small!

This was an eclectic group of peeps if I ever saw one. Everyone from the rockabilly tattooed crew to the Britney Spears video circa '99 I just walked out of Contempo chick, to the computer software analysts. Needless to say, awesome people watching! There was only one bartender working when we got there which seemed insane due to said crowd, but she kept her cool and even had some of her regulars helping out by taking drink orders and passing them out. Another cute girl bartender showed up shortly afterward.

I was told that EVERYTHING would be 50% off until 7pm, but actually only ALMOST everything is half off. Apparently there is a HH app menu? Not that I saw :/...maybe cuz it was so busy...Most of it ended up being half off though, so that was cool. As long as my kettle rocks with lemon was, I was happy.

We ordered:
Steamed DUMPLINGS!- These were my fav! I think the meat inside was shrimp and pork, not sure but they were slurplicious. specially with the hot mustard and sweet and sour mixed!
Chicken satay- yummy, flavorful sticks o' chicken! good peanut sauce, I was sopping the last drops up with my bird.
Crab cake- This WAS NOT on happy hour, boo, but they were yummy yum. And so was the little salad that came with it. My friend took a liking to it, I wasn't paying attention for a minute or so and it disappeared! There was also a tasty mango chutney thing on the side.

We would've ordered more but we had planned to head next door for some sliders at the arsenal. I will totally be back to sample more, and for those super cheap cockies!! I'm sold.
