A: When you enter the doors at this place you're treated immediately like family. JD and Amy (the owners) create an UNintimidating environment while simultaneously hiring the best instructors to put you through an insane workout that will leave you gassed - yet energized to tackle the rest of your day. Whether it is the group classes or the individual boxing instruction (my personal favorite) this is the type of facility I would create if I had the opportuntiy to build a gym. Trust me, when I say this gym is for everyone from top level athlete to the weekend warrior. Take a step inside and see for yourself what an amazing place JD and Amy have created. Welcome to the family!

A: On parle souvent de Starbucks, mais sincerement on pourrait dire que Second Cup l'egale! Les boissons et les gateaux y sont delicieux, l'ambiance est conviviale et chaleureuse (voire meme propice au travail) donne envie d'y retourner! Le service est tres bon! On peut rapidement oublier que c'est une chaine! Au contraire, on est content de retrouver ce genre de cafe n'importe ou dans Montreal!

A: Every time we go shopping at Forum Shops, we eat at one of the restaurants there. We've been to almost all of the restaurants at Forum Shops/Caesars Palace. For some odd reason, we didn't try Il Mulino sooner...we've been missing out on a great place. Who doesn't like a good Italian restaurant? As soon as you get seated, a "mob" goes to your table offering you complimentary grana padano, spicy garlic bread, focacia, bruschetta, salami, sauteed zucchini, mussels and more bread. The garlic bread is oily? Who cares? It's delicious! They have a lot of specials that aren't on the menu so your "captain" would have to recite the specials to you which could take up to 5 minutes - if you have a short attention span, you might be in trouble. Good thing I came here knowing what I already what I want. They cook their pasta to a perfect al dente. Tortellini alla Panna: Meat tortellini, black truffle and peas in cream sauce. Excellent tortellini and the cream sauce was perfect and not thick. 5/5 Ravioli: Ravioli filled with mushrooms in champagne and black truffle sauce. The sauce is what makes this dish. It's creamy and truffle...and oh so yummy! I can eat this all day. 5/5 Tartufo: Half chocolate, half vanilla gelato enrobed in chocolate, served with whipped cream and zabaglione. I'm not a fan of whipped cream but zabaglione, I do like. The gelato has bits of cherries. Yum! 5/5 To end our meal, we were given complimentary grappa. It turned into a 2-hr dinner but it was wonderful. If money is an issue, it can get pricey. It's about $60/person which includes entree, drink and dessert. But if think about it, after all the complimentary stuff we got and a fantastic meal, it was worth it.

This place is the shiz. I moved to AZ in 2001, and was in heaven when I discovered Bookmans. I first started coming here for the video games, (I was in my early teens,) but am also a serious bibliophile and have always had a tendency to collect books much faster than I can read them. I have a handful of interests and Bookmans serves them all pretty well. My best piece of advice is to not go into this store unless you have a predetermined budget, lest you go home and find an upset wife. :) I've seen a lot of reviews that mention Bookman's trade-ins. People are especially and overly critical of the cash offers, and sometimes the credit offers, that the store gives. What most people don't get is that's how it is with almost any "used" retailer. If you feel like Bookmans is on the cheap side with their exchange policies, take a moment to consider the diversity, size, and already fair pricing of their inventory, as well as the business model. Understand that if they're going to make a profit on items that they strive to price fairly, they can't pay you half the worth of the item. To put it in another way, Bookmans is a re-seller, not the end user. If you're looking to make money off your crap then you need to sell it on Amazon, where someone called a "consumer" (end-user) will pay it's value. It's just business my peeps, and Bookmans' business is not in handing money out to customers. If they were to pay more cash for your items, they wouldn't be around for very long and we'd all be devastated for the loss. If you ask me, I buy more from here than I trade in, so I'll take the fair prices any day. The bottom line is that you can't beat the finds in this store. I am always thrilled to find books, music, and even vintage video games that I've had an eye out for. They even have old collectible board games and action figures. There's nostalgia for you. I could spend hours here just walking around. It's better than any mall, Barnes & Noble, or Best Buy. And the remodel a couple years ago with the cafe is just sweet. Not to insult anyone at all, but with a wife and kids I'm sure I couldn't afford to work here, and I'm surely not cool enough anyway. But in any case, I envy the people that work here. It's freaking orgasmic mediaphile heaven.
