Food was really authentic (my hubby is a carnivore, so ordered the traditional corned beef and cabbage!) He was ecstatic, and commented that he would "most definitely" return.  I had the delicious potato/leek soup, which was well-seasoned, with just enough "body". The Smithwick Ale reminded him of our trip to Ireland, where both his parents were born, so he was ONE HAPPY GUY! To add to our enjoyment, there was a young troupe of local Irish dance students, cute as could be! They were just nervous enough to be totally charming, and all we patrons clapped along with the music to ease their trepidation and demonstrate how much fun they were providing.  The dessert (apple tarts for both of us) was outstanding --- best apple dessert we have had in years.  Pastry was light, flaky and did not overpower the whole apple experience, which was seasoned beautifully, and served (of course!) a la mode.  Would recommend this place...

I happened upon a Sephora store up in Boston on a weekend visiting my college-age daughter, and ended up buying "da whole shebang".  What products! In just about five minutes, my face looks brighter, younger, and healthier.  I get compliments all the time, which is super! Start with the basic kit, then refill and add other shades,etc. as time goes on. You won't be disappointed, and your skin will thank...

Animal rights, human greed, personal health are seamlessly (and very cleverly) intertwined. There are laugh-out-loud moments, but be advised that the language throughout will shock those of you who are not "into" young peoples' off-the-cuff use of swearwords for emphasis. This book is meant to shock you, and get you onto an intelligent and lifesaving path to wellness. It stands out by being straightforward and completely no-nonsense.  Well written; I read it in one sitting and then spent almost an equal amount of time jotting down a long list of online resources listed at the conclusion. This book is full of info of which the average person is dangerously ignorant ; that is the way the food industry and its shills want...
