Eyes Peeled: Thaw Fashion Show
Six things to look for at tonight
I was trying to write this month’s shopping column this morning, but I admit, I am way too hyped about tonight’s Thaw Fashion Show to focus (plus I’ve had three shots of espresso). For fashionistas headed to SoDo tonight, I’ve noted six things you just can’t miss—and for the fashion savvy who won’t make it,…
Txori Becomes Pintxo Tomorrow, More Food News
Tapas lovers rejoice: Txori reopens tomorrow as Pintxo, with many of your Basque favorites still on
Late last month, Carolyn Messier closed her young (just 2 years old) but beloved tapas bar, Txori, in order to concentrate her energies on Madison Valley’s perennially adored Harvest Vine.

Wabi-Sabi Sushi Restaurant Review
Fresh food in a comfortable, neighborhood dining place.
Southenders (myself included) have had “sushi restaurant” on our wish lists for years. So when I heard Wabi-Sabi was the latest project from Thoa Nguyen (formerly of Columbia City, now living in the Central District) who serves tasty pan-Asian dishes at Chinoise Café and Thoa’s Restaurant & Lounge, I was heartened. Could it be that…
Toulouse Petit Restaurant Review
Brian Hutmacher get's serious with Toulouse Petit and a New Orleans inspired menu.
Brian Hutmacher could have cut corners when he opened Toulouse Petit in November. As the owner of Mexican restaurant (and singles meat market) Peso’s, right next door, no one would’ve blamed him if he had taken the easy road and opened a New Orleans themed doppelganger aimed at the flirty, heavy-drinking party crowd. Instead, it’s…

Tall, pale, with ebony hair, Belickis is dressed in a short-sleeved, dishwasher-style shirt. He is an unflustered master, with time, despite a mini-rush,…
