Once again my Saturday night video features Postmodern Jukebox. I love their cover of Radiohead’s song, Creep, which they released early last month. The sultry voice is courtesy of Haley Reinhart – enjoy and have a pleasant Saturday.

I’ve been known to vary widely with my tipping; taking extra offense at bad or rude service and adding extra $ when the service is personal or coming from someone I feel like I know. I’ve had people mostly from outside the US reach out to me with questions about tipping in the past so when I saw this chart assembled by waitbutwhy.com I thought I’d share it.

The Welcoming Committee is now helping the LGBTQ community come together and celebrate the first Friday of each month through their Guerrilla Queer Bar (GQB) in eight cities around the country. For those unfamiliar with GQB, this monthly program from The Welcoming Committee takes over a traditionally “straight” bar, turning it into a LGBTQ space in eight cities including Boston.
This month TWC’s GQB in Boston will take place at (Umbria) Prime located at 295 Franklin Street. All the fun starts at 9PM – don’t show up too fashionably late otherwise you’ll have to wait in line to get inside. GQB will also take place in: Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. You can learn more about where GQB will be meeting in your city by linking here.

Boston Restaurant Talk blog wrote that Jae’s Cafe on Columbus Avenue in the South End may cease to exist and be replaced by a new restaurant called Shun’s Kitchen. I have a lot of happy memories at this restaurant but haven’t been there in quite a while. I thought I’d share the news with my readers who may also have similar happy memories of this restaurant.
…According to a licensing board page within the City of Boston website, Jae’s Cafe in the South End of Boston is seeking to transfer its stock and have new officers, directors, and shareholders for the space, with the Columbus Avenue restaurant being replaced by a new spot called Shun’s Kitchen. If the request is approved, this will be the final location of Jae’s to shut down….Jae’s Cafe, which first opened in the South End approximately 25 years ago, has been known as a spot to get a variety of Korean, Japanese, and Thai dishes, along with other Asian fare.
The address for Jae’s in the South End (and the proposed Shun’s Kitchen) is 520 Columbus Avenue, Boston, MA, 02118.
