Yogurt Valley Open
Pockets Now Open
A new sandwich shop called Pockets opened yesterday. Pockets is located in the former Orange Leaf/Dunkin Donuts space on the corner of Fore and Market Streets.
BP’s Shuck Shack
Urban Eye has posted a report on BP’s Shuck Shack.
Shucking ‘em before your eyes from an old hotdog cart, BP gives new meaning to the term street food. Once newly pried, Parson’s tucks the gleaming gems in a custom wooden tray. Choose from six finishing sauces, from traditional cocktail to tangy green curry mignonette sauce. Nothing pedestrian here.
Review of Tempo Dulu
Peter Peter Portland Eater has reviewed Tempo Dulu.
I give Tempo Dulu my highest recommendation. I assure you that it is not just a meal, but a complete culinary experience highlighted by both eating and learning about first rate Asian cuisine using lots of local ingredients in the best and most elegant of locations. Like most Maine restaurants of any quality, there is no dress code, so you can go and relax while feeling like king for a meal. Save your money and make this place your very next special occasion go-to. You can thank me later.

Tempo Dulu
The Portland Phoenix has published an article about Tempo Dulu.
Take a walk or a drive over to 163 Danforth St. Look inside and see for yourself. Better yet, have a drink at the bar or enjoy the height of comfort in the lounge. Take in the smells coming from Chef Lawrence’s kitchen and allow yourself to be tempted to dine; you’ll be glad you stayed. Portland is a city that can handle high-end dining. Our residents have a sophisticated palate and our tourists come here to eat. No doubt, Tempo Dulu will be on all the top 10 lists before too long.
