Psoas Massage + Bodywork  

Categories: Massage, Health and Medical
Neighborhood: SOMA

5 star rating
 8/25/2009  
Psoas is solving my lower back problems.

I have lower back pain from sports injuries and years of poor posture sitting at computers. I am doing bodywork, physical therapy, and exercise to eradicate the pain.

My bodywork at Psoas has been the fastest and most effective way to reduce the pain -- by far. You feel the changes in 24 hours.

Physical therapy and exercise take weeks and months to demonstrate results. They're necessary and fun but bodywork gets results fast. And the results compound with each session.

I've seen Martina, Jason, and Scott and they are all great. These days, I'm seeing Jason consistently.

If you book an appointment, please mention my name (Nivi) so I get a referral discount!

Master Movers Moving and Storage

I needed movers ASAP and I called Pat Ryan. They were booked and they referred me to Master Movers. Master Movers did the move for me the next day. My only "complaint" is that they showed up early. The move was perfect and they were friendly. They also let me pay by check which was convenient. They asked me to write a review on Yelp (smart!) so here we go.

Ron is super nice.

His space is pretty and private.

He does a great job on hair.

I have sent well-dressed lady friends to Ron and they all like him.

I put him in the same league as Kevin Mancuso: http://www.themanethin.../

Neotte Caffe - CLOSED

Great selection of Chinese teas. They go to China and get their own tea which is cool. None of the items are certified Organic but they claim that the tea is effectively Organic. I quizzed them, and they know their tea.

Their White Peony was good but not killer. When you order a large tea, they actually give you two servings of tea --- not just extra water. They have Pu-Erh from 1995 that is naturally decaffeinated.

By the way, my favorite tea distributor in the U.S. is http://uptontea.com

Mike focuses on sales but he showed me his available rentals. He is the type of guy that understands that good things come to those who always put their customers first. Highly recommended.

World-class denim and outstanding service. Kiya (an owner) walked me through their collection and made excellent suggestions. Kiya also owns a sneaker shop in San Mateo: http://www.turfsm.com/

I just left Verizon which has a great network and lousy people. Cingular seems to have great policies, great phones, and great people. I don't know about their network yet.

I worked with Jeremy at this location and he completely and totally hooked it up. Ask for him.

Whereas this is a Ralph's, not a Whole Foods, they still have a large and well-stocked aisle of "Whole Foods"-quality foodstuffs.

California Vegan  

Categories: Vegetarian, Thai, Vegan
Neighborhood: Hollywood

4 star rating
 8/20/2006  
These guys do a great job with fake chickens, fake fish, and other fake meat. You can get a great lunch special there for $7 + tax.

This is not fancy food though. Just because they are vegan doesn't mean they are healthy for you (is that an english sentence?) They do a fair amount of frying and I wouldn't guess they use organic ingredients. I always wanted to know where they stood on hydrogenated oils but I was too afraid to ask.

They have a clean open kitchen which I always find comforting. Thank goodness for places like California Vegan.

Levende Lounge - CLOSED 

Categories: Lounges, American (New)
Neighborhood: Mission

5 star rating

Pro: Great mixed drinks. Outstanding collection of liquors. Very friendly staff and owner. Great decor. I always meet new and friendly folks there.  Haven't tried the food yet. It is good even when it is not bumping.

Con: Bathroom could be improved. Not a fan of the music which is your typical meaningless sub-genre of techno (sorry Ben).

The Mission is lucky to have this place and I don't give out (m)any 5-star ratings. Your mileage may vary.
