The buffet was very good and had a huge selection, even for a vegetarian.   There is an entire dessert table, with half a dozen to choose from.  I do however like Indian food to be a bit spicier.  The restaurant is huge and it is good for large groups.

They usually have about 6 movies playing at a time.  It's an old school theater, like John described.  $2 matinee and $3 after 6pm.

I quite enjoyed my dinner here.  There is a nice selection of vegetarian appetizers and my meal was nicely spiced.  They offer your typical Thai dishes, priced at roughly $7 an entree.  The decor is nice and the service was pretty good.  It's not a huge place, so I assume it can fill up during peak times.

This is a very nice Y.  They are at the tail end of remodeling it, so it should be better than ever.  They have a couple large pools, a huge room for aerobic classes, and a decent weight room.  I've brought my daughter a few times to the daycare and they were very attentive and nice.  This Y is also a member of the away Y program, so a membership here will get you into a bunch of other Y's.

The only downside to this Y compared to others is that you have to pay for the yoga and pilates classes and they require advanced registration.  I like to drop-in on such classes.

I used this hospital for the birth of my daughter.  They have an Alternative Birth Center there that is very supportive of natural child birth.  They have a birthing tub in these rooms for woman choosing a water birth.  They also have some props and encourage woman to move while in labor.  There is no restriction on eating and they even have a little fridge in the room.

I would give 5 stars to the birthing center and 2 or 3 to the nursing I received during the two day stay after the birth.

I really enjoyed this place.  The service was great, but I went there at an off hour.  I had a big salad with hummus, which was excellent.  I definitely plan to go back.

Yummy food and a nice dining area make this place a winner.  There were four vegetarian main courses to choose from.  One thing that was curious was that they had no appetizers on the menu.

I've ordered out a bunch from this place and had their buffet once.  The food is excellent, but it does have some kick.  For people who don't have much of a spice tolerance, the food could be overwhelming.

Radhuni Indian Kitchen

I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could.  I had their lunch buffet and I thought it was pretty good.  It was a tad bland for my taste, but one or two dishes had some kick.  There were about 8 or 10 dishes to choose from, with about half of them being vegetarian.  The salad was a bit sad, consisting mostly of wilted iceberg lettuce.
