One of my long-time favorite stores! It's cozy and sweet and smells delicious, and it's chock-full of wonderful gifts, incense, statues, Buddhas, cards, home decor... I found the perfect pink birdhouse there, and have been longing for one of their sparkly chandeliers for a while now. A great spot for gifts and small "yay, me!" treats.

A cute and easy spot for a quick, last-minute gift... I like to stop in and pick up a fun surprise before dropping in at the Good Life next door... I've always always always found something here when I'm in need of a housewarming or hostess gift - make sure to check out the "other" room, filled with delish soaps, and stuff for the garden and kitchen.

It can get crowded if there are more than, like, 3 people in there, so try to check it out at an "off" time if you can. You'll appreciate it much more, I'm sure.

A French-country shabby-chic antique sleepytime dreamland...

I love this place. If I had a country house, I'd decorate it entirely in this style - and the antique, peeling-paint armoires they use to display everything in? WOW. I want one in every color. Too bad they don't sell those, too!

Fresh-smelling soaps... cozy PJs and sweeping draperies... sticks and stones and birds' nests filled with miniature eggs... antique keys and fish-shaped plates... A lovely place for the perfect, unique gift.

Mi Lindo Perú

Pick a soup, any soup, any soup on the menu... No vegan options, but for those times when I eat seafood, I want to make sure it's absolutely delicious - and the seafood soups here fit the bill!

The atmosphere is a little blah - the warm-colored walls are nice and the gentle music was cheerful, but the place in general is very quiet - yet too brightly-lit to be romantic in its quietness. I wouldn't call this place "cozy" - more utilitarian. I prefer a more bustling, exciting dining experience so I've knocked off one star for vibe. But the sangria, I agree, is great. And I will definitely be ordering soup to-go in the future!

Super-yum!!

Not many vegan/vegetarian options, but the vegan stew I had was scrumptious, coconut-curry veggies... The fried okra was awesome, too!

My boyfriend loved the famous fried chicken.

Delicious beers on tap, and I had a wonderful Malbec!

But aside from the food - we loved the atmosphere - the crowd was buzzing, humming along, in the tiny, cozy space... Music playing, the totally perfect vibrant-yet-chill, comfort zone. Plus, we can walk there (definite bonus)!

My first visit made this place instantly one of my favorite spots in the city. Loved every bit of it.

Cafe Gratitude

A couple of stand-out items on the menu:

* The virgin margarita is excellent! It tastes just like a real margarita, no kidding - which is great for those times when you really want a real one but you really probably shouldn't have one...

* I AM I AM - a super-delicious dessert made of vegan chocolate "ice cream" and two chewy, nutty cookies. The raw vegan equivalent of an It's It ice cream sandwich.

Friendly vibe, healthy food... the atmosphere and the ordering style (I am amazing!) WILL be too much for some people, but if you're feeling groovy, check it out.

Oh, also - on the pricey side. Watch out.

Margaretta is an amazing healer! I've had Reiki before that simply put me to sleep and never "did" anything. My sessions with Margaretta have been deeply changing, transformative, spiritual, and most importantly, healing! I am extraordinarily grateful to her for everything she has given me and helped me to achieve for myself. She is truly a blessing in this world. Yay, Margaretta!

Joseph is an amazing healer! He'll twist you up into crazy positions, let gravity do its work, massage out the tight spots and make you breathe into them... then stick needles in you to top it off! :-) He has healed every ailment I've come to him with and I am extraordinarily grateful to him for it.
