i lean toward japfood, but i figure i'd give this a try. first off, the decor of the place is quite nice, and it can be a perfect date spot. ive been the precious about 6 times already and i order out ALL the time. their chicken and broccoili is good as well as thier shrimp and brocoli. general tso's is fine too, i must say thou, that the one reason i come here is for their fried rice...its simply amazing. and i do adore it.

okay okay, so this place has definately come to thier senses and has rearranged ther prices. and they now offer a wider selection of spa goods. you can now ejoy coffee or tea and cookies while under the drier..i think im becoming a fan!

I will say that the only reason why i will ever be caught dead in PG is for their sweet potato fries, which is sad to say. I have heard all the buzz about it, so I went to give it a try after an evening at the gym. I meet 2 friends there who must have already known the deal since they only ordered the sweet potato fries. i got some grilled chicken dish with a rice that was sprinkled with goat cheese. NOW, allow me to address the problem here. The food did come rather slowly, and the chicken was dry! Soon we ordered the California Hummus which is also a killer here, but why was the pita bread not warmed. They could have made an attempt to make it look fresh.
I don't think I'll be returning here unless the president is inside, even then. No. Sorry Obama.

SOOO...i promised myself that I wouldn't write a review for Pinkberry, since she is so popular. (Yes, i gave it personality.) But there have been some changes that i thought i make note of, and please tell me if I am wrong on these.
*now you can order combination flavors. mine is the pomegrante and passion fruit
*you can also order as many toppings that fit into the cup? One i went to on 33rd street (around the Manhattan Mall area) lets me do this all the time! but other branches are if-y on it
*they're are Pinkberry cards? I got one back in September it was one of those buy 2 get a medium free. or after 10 buys get 2 free..but they no longer have these
All in all i must say pinkberry certainly has the BEST yougurt. and they have the best pomegrante. Although Red Mango's Tangeranium is to die for. I also love how bright all the pinkberry locations are, they actually make you want to stop and take a look inside.
My choice for a newbie original yougurt with captain crunch and strawberries. for the more adventerous, like myself, who know what they like i HIGHLY recommend my current favorite: pomegrante and passion fruit mix with chocolate chips and captain crunch. Sometimes i switch up the crunch for a LITTLE drizzling of honey.

I know my limits when it comes to Mexican food..or places that claim they can "throw down". And i do take my Mexican food VERY seriously since it is my favorite. This place I like. Why? First off, i must say that I only eat corn tortillas, which is a staple here on any meal. Secondly, I only eat the chicken and beef tacos, and when I'm feeling extra adventourous i venture out for a side of yellow rice. But the fact is, this is no gourmet resturaunt, it is a whole in the wall place. That being said you shouldn't have high expectations going in there.
Now don't get me wrong here, im not saying this is the best mexican food ever. DEFINATELY NOT! But the only problem I see here is that they are a little pricey, but who's counting? Simply put, if you go in here on a good day (like when the guy is there) your probally more likely to get a better meal. He kind of puts his foot in it. (Another thing, they usually always run out of beef, which annoys me becuase i feel like it isn't made there. But whatevs)

Since i live about 20 minutes from this place the only complaint I have is that it closes too early! Everything is great, from the Frozen Hot Chocolate to the Sexy Arnold Palmers. I do know the dirty gossip about the company since I am very close to some of the employees but i won't go there ;) All I'll say is that if your not looking for overly strong immitation coffee (Starbucks) then this is the place for you. They also have other cool trinkets for the kitchen goers in youe life, I have gotten so much Christmas shopping done at this place. And one thing i absolutely love to do is get one of those chocolate covered spoons and stir them into my coffee or cocoa...TO DIE FOR. Bottom Line: this place is worth the wait. When there is one!

This might just be some of the best Gelato Ive considering the fact that there is no competition. Anyway, the reason for 4 stars is the price, although you can share one. A small is 5$, I believe. This place is in a great location, but be prepared to eat your GROM on the go. Oh and eat it fast because it melts quickly. Another thing that kind of makes me skeptical to try some of the flavors are the colors. I don't eat multicolored things that are processed, like Fruit loops. Nonetheless, I find that the red is a little too red. Is this natural? I do not know,and I'm not going to point the finger, but please tone the dye down in your machines. Anyway, I shall be back here, so I won't complain too much.

I go to school down the block from this place, so my friends and I are frequenters here. The ice cream is good, but the ices taste a little weird. Like they are low calorie or something. Another thing is that it is a little pricey considering the amount they gave you. In the winter months this place serves as a Soup place, but I have not yet braved that. (I am particular about soup.) All in all I would choose Baskin Robbins over this, sorry. But it just is not worth it.

OK, allow me to be blunt. Thank you. Berrywild is, um, OK. I do prefer the Smooth over the icy. Its a texture thing for me. The fruit was frozen last time i was there, which really REALLY annoys me. But I don't hold a grudge and I will say that Berrywild is quite Delicious. It is also, I find, cheaper than the other froyos. I cannot say this is the one i crave all the time. But if I am next to one, and this is my only option, then I will definitely enjoy.

Great food? No. People, lets not get ahead of ourselves by overusing and abusing the English language. BWG is what it is. One thing i will say is that the peach cobbler and the key lime pie are delish. The only time you should be going to an over priced restaurant like this are when: you want to look cool during brunch, you want live jazz, you want to chat it up with waiters. BWG is better for dinner than brunch, and to be honest the only time you will see me there is during restaurant week when the prices are wayyy lower.
