They would be best described as Upscale Chinese. I ordered steamed vegetables with tofu and brown sauce. The mix of vegetables was very good and the sauce delicious. I was informed that they make each bowl of sauce from scratch for every order. Lunch came in just under $10 before tip. A decent price for the quality of the meal.

There were a few service bumps not uncommon at a new restaurant, but other than that, no complaints. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

I can’t find a website for them yet, but they are located at 220 Atwells Ave. Definitely worth checking them out.

I am happy to announce that my search has successfully ended right in my backyard! After three years, I decided to try the Vinnie D Barber Salon located at 265 Broadway. What I found was the perfect haircut experience.

I entered the salon and was promptly greeted by Vinnie, who upon request gave my raggedy head of hair a once over and quoted me a price I thought was reasonable. For the next thirty minutes Vinnie focused intently on his art in a way only possible after years of experience. Employing tools of a true barber, Vinnie used several scissors and trimmer extensions, a vaccuum to remove unwanted hair clippings, and a straight razor to clean my sideburns. His customer service was impeccable and his mannerisms welcoming.

I looked in the mirror when he was done, and I knew that I had found the place I would be going to get my hair cut for as long it exists.

On my way out, he gave me a card and suggested I call in a week for an appointment to avoid waiting in the future. I plan on making that call.
