I've been here 4 times for lunch, each time doing the ACYE, which is $13.99 all day. The ACYE comes with a little plate of macaroni salad, pickled beets, and sesame marinated bean sprouts. Sometimes they bring out a bowl of rice and sometimes not. I love the kalbi, man-doo, chap-chae, and the love sushi roll. The bulgogi, bbq chicken, garlic shrimp and are okay. While they do have about 16 rolls on the menu, they are all a take on a california roll or a shrimp tempura roll. Over all, the ACYE is a pretty small menu but worth it if you are in the neighborhood.

A bachelorette weekend in Vegas brought us to Act Nightclub for our first night out. Our group got a good table near the stage for a great price. The entry into the club was easy to find once our host told us to look for the elevator next to the Barneys store. Short line and we were in. The entry was unlike any Vegas club I have been to.. Long, winding, sexy, fun. The club reminds me of a 1930's theatre with as we saw later.. a burlesque show and more... much more ! Interesting, sexy and a little different performers worked the stage and audience all evening. DJ was good and all in all a very good time. Our host from the club was Simon 702-727-7217

Carolina's is simply great. They have Jamaica flavored drink in the fountain dispenser (it's red, it's tangy and it's delish), the creamiest refried beans you've ever experienced (lard-a-rific), hot ginormous fresh flour tortillas that melt in your mouth, chorizo that makes me buy it on impulse and freeze it for Carolina-free Sundays or long trips, and hot sauce so good it makes me crave it fortnightly. Oh, and if you've had a variation of the rolled tacos (flautas) at any of the local "-betos" in the Valley, you must try the Carolina's version...you'll never go back. But, my favorite thing on the menu is the astounding bean, potato and cheese burrito. The very definition of perfection. Sure, it's in South Phoenix down the street from where one of my childhood friends grew up (and the original Food City), sure it's always crazy busy so you sometimes have to park up the street and wait in a line that extends the end of the restaurant. (Uh, Saturdays and anytime around lunch time during the week are especially busy.) But, I'm sorry, in my opinion you haven't eaten Mexican food in Phoenix unless you've come here.

Post-Cannonballs from the Earl of Sandwich, my friends and I walked over to the Mandarin Oriental to try Amore Patisserie. When you first walk into Amore, definitely check out the displays. They had this awesome chessboard cake that went for a cool $1,150. Too high-roller for me, but it definitely looked nice. As usual, I ended up sharing a dessert with the gf. She tried a bunch of different gelato flavors (peanut butter, some mystery flavor) and she enjoyed them all. She finally settled on Rum Raisin. At $5 for a small cup, Thrifty's ice cream this is not, but in the end, it had good flavor. The cone looked even better, but sets you back even more. On a side note, I've discovered that I like the Rum Raisin flavor, but no the raisins. Something disconcerting about those yellow raisins, perhaps?
