As a part-time DJ and Karaoke Host in Chicago, I spend a lot of time hanging around the bar/club scene, and I’ve befriended many bartenders and servers over the years. When we’re having a particularly slow night, we’ll sit at the end of the bar together, sip some pops (aka sodas) and gab about “bar life.” The other night, I started chatting about tips with my bartender friend Heather.

Tough call: Dropping from a five star to a four star rating
Starwood just announced it’s going to allow some of its properties to drop a star rating, along with prices and amenities, to compete with competitors such as Intercontinental and Hilton. Traditionally, a five-star rating (the highest possible rating on the Mobil Travel Guide ) allows hotel owners to charge higher rates for amenities and services.

Service–Ethiopian Style! Unexpected adventures provide some of the most serendipitous memories of our lives, don’t they? When our daughter took us on vacation to San Francisco , we had one of those moments when we discovered the Massawa Ethiopian Restaurant in the heart of the Haight-Ashbury district. Delicious food–unlike any other food I had ever experienced–was served on a large round plate in the center of our table. The different dishes were clumped beside each other on a flat, spongy piece of injera –Ethiopian bread at least two feet in diameter and completely covering the plate.
