passionate for papaya!
there are so many cool eateries in the city (many of which i have yet to frequent) , i have no idea why i keep heading back to the new kid on the w. chippewa st. block again, and again, and i mean again. papaya asian kitchen and bar (open circa april) has yet to disappoint me and i truly have lost count on how many times i have eaten there in the past 3 weeks- at least 4 lunches and 4 dinners (yes i am single). tri lam, tai truong & manh le have taken the space formerly occupied by shaker lounge and transformed it into a wonderful, modern restaurant which offers $2.00 beers (yummy yummy) and 1/2 price apps on m/t/w (from 4pm-6pm) and serves a late nite menu on th/f/s from 11pm-3am which includes apps and soups. i am on a mission to enjoy everything on the menu (and i am more than 1/2 way there) . i have witnessed a great and eclectic crowd last friday for happy hour and jack, the super nice and helpful bar manager, attested to the fact that the thur/fri/sat bar patronage has been great.
i am not sure if is the exquisite food, decor, or the pretty waitresses, but this kid is hooked on papaya!

City Living- Lifestyle, Not Economics…Yet
Pain at the gas pump could lead to a population shift back to the city. That is the conclusion of several recent studies showing declining distant suburb home values and rising middle-class populations in many cities. In Buffalo, many neighborhoods are seeing high demand, but there are few signs that gas prices are a significant factor at this point.
The rising cost of gas is a concern however. In a July survey by the Siena Research Institute, 79 percent of upstate New Yorker … - Today, 10:13am

The Puppy Playpen Opens
Downtown workers and residents will be happy to know that a doggie daycare in the Ellicott business district has officially opened. The Puppy Playpen has transformed adjoining abandoned storefronts into a lively center for our four-legged friends. Many of the dogs are being acclimated to urban living… a lifestyle that co-owner Rosanne Higgins (pictured with her Great Dane named Sally) told me comes quite naturally for most of them. “Seeing the dogs in this downtown setting is … - Today, 12:37am
