March 11, 2016
La Crosse, Wisconsin is a unique and beautiful place. You might be from La Crosse if… You’ve ever worn lederhosen non-ironically. Sixty degrees in September requires a sweater.

May 14, 2012

Slowly, as cities expand and incorporate chain restaurants with sinister consistency, the Stepford Wives-like sameness of their menus, and their artificially-distressed decor, the warmth of authenticity vaporizes.Give me a supper club, with its dimmed light, authentic yet sometimes kitschy decor and polished silver.
