‘Bike-In’ Coffee Shops are So Portlandia

April 12, 2013 // 10:30 am

“SO PORTLANDIA” is how one commenter describes these “bike-in” park stands, and she is SO RIGHT.

Except for the part about these hipster havens being in Portland, because apparently, Switzerland has outdone Oregon this time.

They’re called Velokafi, and they’re part of a combined effort by Zurich government…

It’s 2013. It’s okay for women to fix cars and wear pants (both metaphorical and literal), and guys are allowed to cry and rear children. We are all allowed to think we’re gross. Standing in front of the mirror and frowning at your tummy is no longer just constrained…

December 10, 2012 // 8:13 pm

It’s like the memoir got together with a cookbook and a little charity on the side, and they had beautiful social media babies.

This is “The Startup Chef” and this is awesome.

First, the memoir part. See, this isn’t just your average cookbook with a culturally relevant…

December 10, 2012 // 5:24 pm

No, seriously. We like it a lot. Like 16% of our calorie intake a lot.

It seems this does come as a surprise to some, though. Now that we’re at the point where even McDonald’s lists total calories on its menu, and there’s a low-fat, sugar-free, n0-gluten version of…
