Cruela of HartsYard Enmore

Good food makes for good memories, best savoured and enjoyed in fine company of John and Farhana despite not the best experience inside the Hartsyard restaurant on Enmore Road in Newtown. 




Not so Promising Young Yard Woman as we met  post COVID cruela like no other at Dot Lee’s HartsYard last night


If the HartsYard place spent as much time on service as publicity  / the world of hospitality would be a better place

Really interesting, at the LA Times:  How the people who serve you survived the last year. (I recognized the bartender from the Tam O’Shanter! That’s one of the best places to go during the holidays in LA and it was really missed this year by a lot of people.)

At The Curvy Fashionista: LOFT Takes The Ax To Plus Sizes; That’s Not Even The First Mistake They Made. I was really surprised to see this from LOFT, both because this decision was announced haphazardly, but also because, anecdotally, LOFT’s plus size stuff always sells pretty well in our analytics and I would have extrapolated that to think it was doing well elsewhere.
