Car shopping can make anyone’s heart race. For some, it’s the thrill of driving away in a sparkling new beauty engulfed in the sultry pheromone of new car smell. For others, it’s the dread of having to haggle with a sour-breathed, “what do I have to do to get you in this car?” salesman. Whether you’re a certified autophile or […]
Mixing traditional Italian cuisine with tried-n-true Texas fare could prove to be more disastrous than Amy Winehouse versus the childproof pill bottle, but it worked out just right for the new Café Italia location in North Oak Cliff, just across Davis from the Bishop Arts District. For carb purists, there’s faves like Spaghetti and Meatballs ($14.95), Chicken Picatta ($15.50) or […]
This is the final weekend before the holiday crunch hits, and you’re stuck going to the same party every night for a month. You know the one. It’s always at a different house, but the food’s catered by Sam’s Club (mini quiche, anyone?), and there isn’t nearly enough champagne to lapse into a nice, relaxing Bollinger coma. So get your […]
Face it, there’s only room in the world for a certain number of Martha Stewart crafty types, and maybe you’re not one of ‘em. But with some selective surfing and a wave of the credit card, you can have anyone believing that you are a veritable glue-gun toting, do-it-yourself guru. Note: removing the price tag helps add to the authenticity. […]
As the ancient proverb goes, “Brunch is just like heaven, somewhere between breakfast and lunch.” And at Trece Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Lounge, the servers might as well have wings and halos. As soon as you sit down, you’re treated to a decadent assortment of carbs. Glorious, cinnamony carbs. (And savory ones, too!) But don’t fill up on the freebies […]
Toss out the Barbasol and go for a pampered shave. Step back into a time when the barber shop wasn’t just a place for pulling teeth, blood-letting and a relaxing enema, but a mecca of manliness where time and care were taken in the perfected art of a good, clean shave. Now you can have the red-and-white pole experience in […]
Whether your sugar daddy hasn’t sprung for that new wine cellar yet, or you are just one of those wound-tight, Martha Stewart types who wants everything “just so” – your favorite new gadget is here. The Wedge (not to be confused with the kitten heel or sling-back mule) is a nifty gadget that literally wedges stacks of wine bottles or […]
Social butterflies, prepare to have your wings atwitter with entertainment options aplenty in store this week. Get your culture on with a trip to the museum, sip on a sugary sweet serenade from a “powerpop” boy band and make sure to leave room for your daily requirement of artsy circus acts too. Weekend Calendar Art Into Rock Thursday, November 8 […]
Think of us as the gay(er) version of Oprah’s book club. Our literary scholars head directly for the back of the gay bookstore where the actual literature resides (after a quick perusal of a few “photographic” magazines, of course) to find you the latest and greatest in gay-interest books. A Push and a Shove is the first novel from gay […]
Open wide. No, wider. C’mon, unhinge that jaw a little, there’s a new burger in town. And it’s big. Really big. (Insert your own jokes about juicy meat, plump buns and special sauce here). The Tin Star across from the Quadrangle is history, but the restaurant space’s next chapter is black, white and red all over. Get ready to sink […]
