Oct. 11, 2008 From Yelp.com: First of all, the parrot story makes me confirm that I will not be going to this store. That enrages me. Second, the few times I've been in here, the employees barely speak and are not very friendly…

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: They've expanded their menu, but I haven't really tried anything new. I stick to the staples of the hummus platter and sandwich. The brunch is bangin! Get the Odara Buzz--big enough for 2 people with…

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: The food here is meh, which means they probably won't last, which sucks because the neighborhood could really use more restaurants that are open 24/7.

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: Lady Octopus told me one time that I can't have a second egg roll because I was getting fat. That's the kind of person she is, just brutally honest and just downright brutal. But she's nice in her own…

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: I see alot of people now a days living-out their nostalgia, big 70's glasses, porn-star mustaches, halter tops, sans-a-belts... that's all good... but If you really want to experience the old days, I…

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: I like this place because its more like "Mexican food on OUR terms", and that's respectable. Sure they open when they feel like it, and will deliver when they can, but its one of those places you're…

Oct. 10, 2008 From Yelp.com: Solid three stars. Nothing stand out great, nothing stand out bad. Very sweet wait staff. My friend and I had picked (perhaps wrongly) Cheers to hold Round 1 of Spice Off 2008. We both ordered…

Oct. 9, 2008 From Yelp.com: My friends in Williamsburg have been yapping about this place since it opened and with good reason. It's a proper bar where the emphasis is on serious well-made cocktails and better-than-standard bar…

Oct. 5, 2008 The New York Observer — IF THE SAGA OF the Finger is the ultimate ghost story, then the relative success of the Ikon a few blocks away is what passes for a happy ending in Brooklyn condo development these days.
