Fresh & Easy


Neighborhood grocery store that opened up. Their prepared food department touts that there are no artifical flavors or colors and no added trans fats. Prices are comparable to Trader Joes. Nice addition!

the food of CHINA


The meat dishes always turn out so good! I've tried the chicken wings, spareribs, char siu and pork belly recipes. Highly recommended chinese cookbook.

Hudson, NY


Such a cute town. Laid back, good natured and designy vibe. Not pricey. Hodgepodge of architectural styles. I wanna go back next year.

I'm addicted to these mints. Love that it has no sugar or artificial sweetener and is not powdery like Altoids.

I feel in the know after reading this. It's the most reliable of all the mags. I wish it weren't so expensive.

Love it.

Plymouth, MA vacation home


http://www.27greatwinddrive.com/

Good:
Large great room - living, dining and kitchen in an open layout.
Big kitchen island.
Excellent price ($1,600 for week in summer) for 4BR/3BA private water access (pond in back yard).
Plymouth downtown does have a few attractions (seafood, ice cream, cupcakes, history)
Practically borders the Cape.
Baby proofed house (gates at stairs).

Neutral:
In a working class neighborhood which is reflected in the look of houses and cars in the immediate area. Location more appropriate for low key and down-to-earth families.

Bad:
Beds have plastic covering and mattresses were springy.
Sand in yard is a thicker texture like dirt and water a little murky (it's a pond after all).

Overall:
Liked it. I would do it again. I would recommend to others.
