by david m. on Here's a bunch of excerpts from dictionary-style entries that I would write about The Local: "A great place to be a patron if you are in your mid-to-late twenties and still accepting money from your parents." "...would feel right at home if you have only ever listened to albums that were highly rated by pitchfork." "...just steal one of your grandfather's hats, and you're guaranteed to get laid!" "Be sure to flash your i(insert Apple product) so that people know you're not one of the herd." "Another festering wasteland of imitated counterculture." This place is only slightly less pathetic than MJQ. "Every town must have a place where phony hippies meet." This is it.
by Ronald Lefton on Went here with a few friends and it's very laid back and really cool. Love the piano playing and the guy singing was really great. I especially loved the array of Martini's available. What was even better? That this guy sitting at the table next to us in front of the bar looked EXACTLY like Patrick Stewart. ME: "Oh my god, is that Patrick Stewart??" NOEL: "Noooo!" ME: "Ohhh yes!" ALEX: "Girl, make it so!" JUSTINE: "Who's Patrick Stewart?" ME: "What?? Oh my god, you don't know Captain Picard??" JUSTINE: "Oh wait, is that the guy from X-Men?" ME: (Astonished at her lack of Geek Chic) "Yep!" ME to ALEX: "Engage!"
