The buzz: New Italian restaurant, describing itself as “New York Italian dining”.
The décor: Slightly sparse and sterile for a place trying to emulate a New York vibe. We were expecting something a little brighter and more upbeat. The severe, square tables and stark walls seem to imply fine dining, which this place certainly isn’t.

The buzz: Founded by Li Shanlin, an offspring of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty, Family Li's Imperial Cuisine is the only place in town where you can sample the exclusive imperial cuisine from the Forbidden City. Its re-opening after almost one year of adjustment means you can literally eat like a queen or king yet again.

 Film Review: The Blind Side
On the surface, “The Blind Side” is a sports film meant to uplift and celebrate the human spirit. Yet, as it plods along, it becomes nothing more than an Oscar-vehicle for Sandra Bullock, who plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a southern woman whose character is encapsulated in dialogue uttered in the final third of the film: “I’m in a prayer group with the DA, I’m a member of the NRA and I’m always packing.” This is unfortunate, because Bullock’s charm helps lift some of the cliché moments in the film—but her performance alone cannot make up for this paint-by-numbers exercise in filmmaking.
