A: I'm not a big ice cream fan but I absolutely LOVED Churn and that says a lot. It was a hot 120 degree in Phoenix and my boyfriend wanted some good ole' fashioned ice cream, being the great girlfriend that I am (I'm not always this narcissistic, I swear) I agreed to go. And I'm so glad I did! The minute we walked in we were greeted with dime candy, a pleasant aroma and friendly workers eager to give us samples of each and every flavor we had a question about. When I saw they had Vietnamese Coffee ICE CREAM, I was completely sold. I decided to mix that with their Coconut Ice Cream and was immediately glad I chose the combination! They have various cone options too to add to the experience, which I like. They had a pretzel cone--and one that I never have heard of-- a cake batter cone! There's not much space to sit indoors but that didn't matter because the back patio was set with charming seating and misters. I can't wait to go again and try their sundaes- they sounded delicious! I'll be trying their infamous Kitchen Sink.

A: Today, I definitely didn't have a great experience at MCN. I got my haircut couple months ago from there and I liked it, so I decided to go again for coloring today. I wasn't happy about it at all -cuz I can still see the line btw my root and the bottom. PLUS, they charged me 25 bucks more for the blow-dry without telling me. I wish I didnt go there for the color..

Q: positive

A: As a new yorker I was a little concerned that this would be a hipster magnet with all the attitude and ennui to match (call during off hours, the vmail is hilarious), but it seems montreal raises its hipsters a little different than we do. the service is by far some of the best and most attentive i've ever known. The people aren't polite, they are authentically pleasant. Saimi, our waitress, looked like she stepped out of one of those D&G ads for light blue, which i assumed would mean attitude galore. But her demeanor was so freaking awesome, she eventually picked out our menu for the evening and put us onto Olive & Gourmando for brunch the next day (a super awesome choice) as well as recommendations for nuit blanche, which we were visiting for anyway. The host, equally awesome, his name escapes me, served us drinks and was super accommodating. I wouldn't say the place is good for kids, but they didn't turn their nose up once to us having our seven year old in tow, the opposite is usually true. The food was good. The menus are on the wall and change constantly. I gave up early and simply asked for recommendations, and every dish was enjoyed. Again, they serve a solid menu, offer a strong wine selection but the service was the stand out, and was simply excellent, and that's saying a lot.
