rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author japage - I will not restate all the details "quasar" stated in her excellent epinion. Perhaps just a more recent (3-4-03)update and experience. Having read the advertisements in various NYC guidebooks, I was somewhat skeptical of getting a bargain. I was...

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 12:56:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author japage - The Union Oyster House has been in continuous operation as a restaurant since 1826, the oldest in America. If for no other reason than that, it is worth eating there.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author japage - While searching the many choices for lodging in Aspen during the summer months, I came across the Aspen Mountain Chalet. The prices were very competitive and since we would not have a car, the downtown, central location seemed like a real plus.

First Time Dim Sum Diner

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 12:49:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author japage - The Gold Mountain Restaurant seats a LARGE number of people. This is not your typical 'momma-san & papa-san' small diner.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author japage - I needed a new bagging mower this year for a fairly small area around the pool. After comparing mowers and prices I elected to purchase the Craftsman. It wasn't the cheapest, but I have always been satisfied with Craftsman tools and equipment. This one...
