I popped a few of mine into a boiling bowl of kimchi jjigae, where they melded with the tart heat of the stew. Pan-fried, the dumplings served in Nak Won Garden’s homey dining room are crispy comfort food. Listed on the menu as kyoza, the fried dumplings at this Upper Lawrenceville spot hit the nexus of crispy and juicy better than most in Pittsburgh.

Pan Fried Dumpling at 101 Noodle Express

For the prettiest pleats, be careful not to overfill the wrappers. Adding a little cornstarch slurry to the pan while cooking the dumplings will create a lacy, crispy crust on the bottom called “hane” — Japanese for wings. Her mom’s recipe also includes seasoning the ground pork filling with grated ginger, soy sauce and sake and adding fresh shiitake mushrooms and lots of finely chopped cabbage for a bit of silky heft.

Hui Tou Xiang Noodles House

Once again, royal courts played a role in introducing dumpling culture to Thailand. Cho muang, for example, is a fanciful, flower-shaped dumpling with a wrapper made with various starches dyed into a soft blue with pea flowers and lime. The history of mandu remains somewhat obscure, yet it is widely acknowledged that their introduction occurred during the 14th century by the Mongol-Chinese Yuan dynasty. This was particularly notable because Korea’s then-ruling Goryeo dynasty followed Buddhist principles that forbade meat consumption. Mante House treats its thin-skinned miniature mante like pizzas, and the analogy isn't that far off, to be honest. Both are considered primetime party food (I've never been invited to one of these mante-having parties, but I imagine they're rather lit).

Chicken Momo at Himalayan Cafe

Chef Peter Lai’s Cantonese menu is one of LA’s most innovative and his line of dim sum includes tasty siu mai, traditional xiao long bao, and jumbo-sized har gow. Anthony Bourdain picked himself a true OG in the Korean Dumpling game when he visited this hole-in-the-wall. Myung In dumplings are the standard by which dumplings are judged in the L.A. Their famous pleated dumplings are crafted with exceptional care and where other dumpling houses might go a little too bready on their wang mandu, Myung In strikes a nice balance by having a thinner skin. At age 33, she enrolled at the French Culinary Institute (now the Institute of Culinary Education) thinking she might become a food stylist. She had so much fun and loved cooking so much that, after graduating, she became a chef instead, moving to Los Angeles with her husband to become a chef at two Santa Monica restaurants.

Wang Mandu at Myung In Dumplings

Even in Japan, most home cooks use premade wrappers, which you can find in any Asian market. Yong Kwon runs the region’s most charming Korean restaurant, located on a stretch of rural-industrial road in Cecil. Her homestyle menu includes a lovely rendition of mandu pan-fried on both sides to offer a crisp exterior. If you’re in the mood for something brothy, go for the mandu guk, which highlights Kwon’s dumplings in a soothing soup.

Pan Fried Dumplings at Luscious Dumplings

It currently features possibly L.A.'s first stunt-dumpling (corn cheese dumplings, anyone?), but don't be fooled. Traditionalists rave about the standard entries including the kimchi wang mandu and what some call the best gogi wang mandu (meat bread dumpling) in Koreatown. It matches Myung In's optimal wrapper-to-filling ratio and ups it with a savory filling that's neatly balanced flavor-wise.

At Mante House, they come in pizza boxes of pizza-sized diameters (14" for $14.99 aka shut up and take my money) and can have toppings like Hot Cheetos and nacho cheese. Old Village is famous for their khinkali (pictured), but it's also one of the only places you can get pelmeni in Los Angeles. The boiled Russian dumpling resembles tortellini in size, and it's topped with sour cream, mustard or vinegar and it's traditionally eaten with vodka (I'm not taking the bait on that punchline). In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine ⅓ cup water, 1½ teaspoons cornstarch and a pinch of salt. Dip your fingers in water and lightly wet one half of the wrapper’s rim.

Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find gyoza are incredibly fun to make, even if they’re not perfect. Three months later, she was hired as a full-time video producer and she soon was also appearing in videos on YouTube for BuzzFeed, though she admits to being very self-conscious about her English skills and Japanese accent. It was something I wanted to do because of how much I love to cook,” he explains.

The steamed and pan-fried dumplings are a study of texture and flavor, given an additional boost with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The dumplings listed as “dumplings” are Manjeen’s spin on siu mai but with a folded top like an envelope to enclose the family recipe blend of pork, egg, scallions, onions and chestnuts. The preparation time for the gyoza at Umami is a little longer than at other Japanese restaurants in Pittsburgh, as the dumplings are cooked to order in a single pan in the post-World War II style.

Deciding that a food media job would be less stressful (but still fun), in April 2016 she applied for a position as a recipe developer at Tasty Japan, the Japanese edition of BuzzFeed’s food media brand Tasty. Rie McClenny grew up in southwestern Japan with family members who not only loved to cook but, as the owners of a tearoom and cafe in their small seaside city, were pretty darn good at it. This sentiment of passion and heritage is echoed by Lai of Bae Bae’s Kitchen, who sees dumplings as carriers of culture and comfort.

Georgian dumpling king TKF gives khinkali the white-tablecloth-and-full-bar experience it so thoroughly deserves. In the case of the khinkali, however, you're not supposed to eat the area where the pleats meet (called the "kudi" in Georgian), just the dumpling underneath. Also, feel free to ditch the fork and use your hands, as is the custom. Possibly the worst English translated name dish on this list, the Juicy Pork and Crab Bun at Long Xing Ji is actually a tangbao, the xiao long bao's basketball-playing cousin. With a thicker, almost leathery wrapper, you're supposed to sip the soup with a straw and dismantle the rest of the dumpling as you eat it. The hui tou potsticker is unlike any other potsticker I've ever tasted, owing to a strong taste of white onion that sticks around throughout.

Royal Thai cuisine isn’t represented in Pittsburgh (head to Kalaya in Philadelphia). Here, you’ll typically find a different type of dumpling with a more direct Chinese heritage — siu mai. These delicate dumplings with an egg-and-wheat wrapper in Cantonese style are left slightly open at the top and usually decorated with fish roe. Lai serves handmade chicken and pork dumplings that are made from scratch from wrapper to filling, at his Downtown Korean restaurant, which opened in 2017. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the cornstarch dissolves and dries, forming “wings” that are lacy and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and let the gyoza rest in the skillet until any bubbling subsides, 1 to 2 minutes.

One of K-town's hidden gems, Dumpling House is a mecca for dumplings and steamed buns steamed or pan-fried. Visit this unassuming spot hidden in a small strip mall and order potstickers, filled pancaked, shumai and fluffy buns by six or eight pieces, or opt for one of the spot's bowls of soup packed with handmade noodles. Paper-thin wrappers with delicate crimping in the sui mai-style form a delicate shell encasing a luscious mix of pork and onion. The dumplings at the Highland Park restaurant are served with a tangy-sweet chili sauce. Pittsburgh’s oldest Japanese restaurant keeps it simple with the gyoza prepared in the Station Square establishment’s hot kitchen. Thin wrappers are stuffed with a bouncy chicken stuffing, steamed to tenderness and given a quick fry that offers a bit of extra umami from a slight char.

Some of the city’s most experienced and ambitious chefs are offering their takes on mandu, the signature dumpling of the peninsula. Well, if you're the type of person who's into that type of thing (and don't worry, there's a ton of us), Los Angeles is your dumpling mecca. From Chinese guo tie, to Japanese gyoza, to Korean mandu, to Georgian khinkali, to Himalayan momo, to Russian pelmeni, to whoever's going to take credit for manti, seriously.

Kimchi Steamed Dumplings at Dumpling House

The dumplings here are all top-tier, but the pork siu mai, xiao long bao, and pan-fried chicken bun are the best. Mr Dragon’s ample portion sizes are one reason why it remains a popular spot. The soup dumplings are wonderfully juicy with excellent dough consistency, as are the pan-fried buns. Sprinkle with more cornstarch if the gyoza seem to be sticking together. Uncooked gyoza will keep in the freezer in a resealable plastic freezer bag for up to 3 months. Unless you’re an overachiever, don’t worry about making dough from scratch for these pan-fried dumplings.

Dan Modern Chinese

The filling combines chicken and pork, boosted by ginger and garlic. Let them cool for a minute before popping these delightful bites into the vibrant dipping sauce. Though the rainbow soup dumplings look like a social media gimmick, the flavor residing inside these hand-tucked beauties is worth the trek to Paradise Dynasty.

Hui tou roughly translates to “double-take delicious” in Chinese, which is fitting for these irresistible pork-filled parcels. Korean-Chinese shrimp dumplings are hard to come by even in L.A.'s sprawling Koreatown, but Pao Jao's saewoo mandu is a winner, with nice chunks of shrimp and that standard green onion and glass noodle filling. Though I never really understood kimchi dumplings, they have an ardent following. One of the standout qualities of Dumpling House's steamed kimchi dumplings is their beautiful circular construction that evenly distributes that extra al dente bite of the steamed wrapper. What started out as a weekend-only stand is now a 7-day-a-week operation (still cash only, amazingly), and for good reason.

Juicy Pork and Crab Bun at Long Xing Ji

Dumplings have a long history in Japan, but their popularity and current preparation are relatively recent. Gyoza — which gets its name from Chinese jiaozi — is Japan’s national dumpling. “There used to be kings and queens in Korea, and it was originally a food for them. Commoners didn’t eat dumplings because it wasn’t something they could afford,” Han says.

Wang Mandu at Myung In Dumplings

She found herself compromising once again with ingredients in her chase to conjure the flavors of her childhood during a post-college job at Disney World’s Japan Pavilion in Orlando, Fla. But at least she was honing her skills as a cook, which would prove useful in her next job working for a Japanese culinary school. His passion for blending culinary cultures mirrors the city’s evolving palette, which has come a long way since those first openings in 1983. As diverse cultures continue to shape Pittsburgh’s dining landscape, the personalization of Korean, Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese dumplings offers a delightful gateway into expanding palates across generations.

Xiao Long Bao at Din Tai Fung

Here now are 18 great places to get Chinese and Taiwanese dumplings in Los Angeles. Minh Luong, chef and owner of Tan Lac Vien, offers a Vietnamese spin on Chinese dumplings at his Squirrel Hill and Strip District establishments. The Saigon native, who grew up in Orange County, Calif., spent months working on a recipe that would pay homage to his roots and multifaceted culinary training. His cushiony dumpling skins turn breathtakingly tender when he steams them. Those wrappers envelop a finely chopped chicken stuffing; the combination translates to sublime texture and fragrance in each juicy bite.

We have dumplings in Vietnam, but they aren’t as popular as they are in other Asian countries,” says Minh Luong, chef and owner of Tan Lac Vien, in Squirrel Hill, and Tan Lac Vien 2, at Novo Asian Food Hall. Han says they’re typically prepared in home kitchens for holidays and celebrations, like marking a child’s first birthday. Han started making dumplings 55 years ago when he was 14 and working in a Korean-Chinese restaurant in Korea. He became the breadwinner for his family after the untimely passing of his father. It’s a love letter to the next generation,” says Edward Lai, co-owner and chef of Bae Bae’s Kitchen. Don’t take it personally if staffers are a bit gruff at Huge Tree Pastry.

Nathanan “Natalie” Manjeen offers a lens into Thai street food at her charming Squirrel Hill restaurant. Go for gu chai, a Thai favorite that’s hard to find in Pittsburgh. The crispy, chewy wrapper is prepared with glutinous rice, wheat and tapioca flours. It’s filled with pungent Chinese chives, crimped in a style similar to xiao long bao, and then pressed to form a patty.

Using chopsticks or a spatula, loosen the “wings.” Place a large plate on top of the gyoza. Cover with lid and steam the gyoza until most of the water has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. “You definitely don’t want to go on a date after eating them, they’re so stinky,” McClenny says with a laugh. Geared to those new to Japanese cooking, the book also includes instructions on how to stock a Japanese pantry and has a short chapter on essential Japanese cooking tools. Vietnamese dumplings have the most potential for growth in Pittsburgh. Roger Li, owner of Umami Izakaya in Lawrenceville, believes that’s because modern gyoza, those of the post-World War II era, are a specialty item found in homes or at shops dedicated to the craft of making them.

The contrarian's xiao long bao hideout in Monterey Park serves as solid a rendition as you'll find of the soup dumpling, but the spicy wonton proved even more remarkable on a recent visit. Red pepper and coriander deliver a show-stopping punch before the juicy pork filling rounds out the experience with a satisfying, savory finish. The simple, home-cooked meals her mother, Yoko, and maternal grandmother, Kiyoko, prepared for their rural customers, using seasonal local ingredients and traditional recipes, were far from fancy. Yet their skillful mix of salty, sweet, sour and bitter — key elements in authentic Japanese cuisine —  were rich with umami flavor. Though the ramen and noodle soups are excellent at this Monterey Park establishment, it’s the hot oil pork and shrimp dumplings that appear on every table, along with the shrimp and leek variety.

Nikuman-Ya is running the gyoza racket in Gardena, and that should really say enough. Sure, the cheese-pork-bun sounds a little stunt-dumpling, but the original gyoza is gingery, juicy goodness that's just seared on the bottom and warrants a taste if you're in the area. Using your dominant hand, place a scant 1 tablespoon filling in the center of the wrapper. That said, even with premade wrappers, it might take beginners a lot of practice before their fingers develop the requisite muscle memory to fill, fold and pleat at a record pace. She cooked professionally for three years before burning out one night after working more than 300 meals.

Thai Place, opened in 1989, is the region’s longest-standing Thai restaurant business. Its Wexford location is the last of several restaurants with the same name operated by Santi and Surin Thamwiwat, and it’s a solid destination for Thai dumplings. Go for the steamed version, which includes chopped chicken bolstered with herbaceous celery leaves. Diced carrot replaces the more traditional fish roe atop the sui mai, adding a vegetal sweetness. Luong came to Pittsburgh from New York in 2012 to work at Tan Lac Vien. He purchased the restaurant from its original owners, Thy and Steve Ngo, in 2017.

She also makes the gyoza with a lacy, crispy crust on the bottom called “wings,” or hane in Japanese — created by adding a cornstarch slurry to the pan while the dumplings are steam-frying. They’re served, with golden-brown aplomb, upside down on the plate, with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame and chili oils. As of press time, Seok Kun Han’s gorgeous dumplings are only available on weekends at his Korea Garden 2 restaurant in Novo Asian Food Hall. Nak Won Garden’s mandu — listed on the menu simply as “dumplings” — are filled with pork and beef and have a soft, fragrant aroma.

Eventually, he added a dumpling with supple wheat-based skin and a filling with chicken, lemongrass, ginger and a few other ingredients. Though best known for its beef rolls, 101 Noodle Express also makes memorable thick-skinned potstickers filled with pork and a piping-hot stock. The dumplings travel and reheat well at home, just be careful of the innards splattering at first bite. This small corner mandu shop inside the Zion Market appears to be a one-lady-operation.

Since its inception in 2014, Prometheus Design Werx has consistently placed a premium on quality over quantity, delivering highly-calculated garments and gear that have been engineered to last a lifetime. And while the San Francisco-based outfit has previously produced a wide range of fixed blade and folding knives, PDW has now unveiled its first-ever out-the-front knife with the all-new SPD Audax. Featuring design inspiration from the Loveless Chute Knife, the SPD STS-B addresses the needs first brought forth by Harry Archer. Archer is the man who initially commissioned the chute knife concept to Loveless. He was looking for an all-around edged tool that could cut parachute lines, aid in wilderness survival, be used for personal safety/defense, etc. This homage to the legendary pattern puts Archer’s vision into a modern, highly detailed purpose driven framelock folder.

Being based in San Francisco, Prometheus Design Werx is well aware of this reality. Wanting to deliver an automatic EDC knife that’s legal to carry in its home state, PDW has now unveiled the CAS OTF. Beautifully matching the aesthetics of the Prometheus Design Werx SPD STS-B is its performance. I used the knife to perform a few of the different functions that I felt held true to its purpose. Regarding self-defense use, I have no doubt it will perform admirably in that function.

Prometheus Design Werx crafts exceptional multi-purpose performance apparel, equipment, EDC tools, and accessories to outfit the self-reliant individual for uncommon adventures and challenges off and on the grid. Whether it’s firearms or blades, the State of California has some of the strictest laws in the country when it comes to carrying.

I then wanted to check the edge and see how it held up, so I cut up some corrugated cardboard. The edge was still sharp enough to slice up most of a large box without any issue. There were some points that it kind of tore, but I think it was more due to the box being hard to hold onto. Next, I whittled a quick try stick, performing different various reductions and notches. The clip point tip was perfect for prying out chunks of wood for finer detail work.

We learn from the past, look to the future, and build for today.With decades of experience in creating highly versatile, capable designs used worldwide in adventurous to dangerous places, Prometheus Design Werx is wilderness grade goods for the outsider. In June of 2019, 31 years after the debut of the original Sebenza, Chris Reeve Knives released the Sebenza 31 — an ultra-top-shelf folding knife that’s now widely viewed as the holy grail of premium everyday carry blades. Created by PDW’s Special Projects Division (or SPD), the Audax packs an American clip point blade that’s composed of ultra-top-shelf Böhler M390 — unequivocally one of the finest blade steels that money can buy. The blade is deployed using a knurled and ramped, double-action titanium thumb slider that’s been fitted with a dive watch-grade GITD inlay. The SPD Audax OTF Knife also boasts PDW’s signature handle and blade fullers. Taking its name from the Latin word for “bold,” the Audax is constructed around a grooved 6061-T6 aluminum handle that’s been fortified via a type III hard-anodized coating.

Overall, the SPD STS-B was very comfortable and easy to control during this process. It is not recommended to baton a folding knife to split wood because it is hard on the pivot. So, making a wedge will preserve your knife in an emergency survival scenario.

In 1924, Jerome Hull, then Mahoning County Superintendent of Schools, purchased the 200-acre farm from his uncle, Ensign Baird. Along with his new bride, Doris Humes-Hull, he began growing apples, peaches, and children – nine altogether! Although a full-time educator, Jerome maintained a strong passion for fruit farming. Located in rural Canfield, Ohio, White House Fruit Farm has a long history in local agriculture.

Going to White House with my grandparents in the fall was always a treat, because we'd always get free samples of apple cider. And, since White House IS still a working farm, it also celebrates the fall harvest every year. To pick your own berries, tangerines, and figs, head to Underwood Family Farms in Somis. This is a family-friendly farm that is open every day throughout the year and has an animal center as well. One of the most fun things to do here is to pick your own strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. For kids, this is a fun place to host a birthday party, take an educational farm tour, or attend farm camp in the summer.

Brandt Farms has over 77 years and three generations of experience in growing, packing, and marketing the best California Peaches, Nectarines, and Plums. This is a restored 1910 dairy farm that has hundreds of alpine goats on a pasture in Pescadero. It raises milking goats and makes cheese from their milk on the farm. Farm tours are typically offered at 11am and 1pm, and you can schedule a tour online. Farm dinners and workshops are also offered at Harley Farms Goat Dairy.

This farm offers tours that are designed for both kids and adults with a hands-on approach to learning about farming. The traditional farm tour takes you through the history of the farm and to see baby calves. You’ll watch a cow being milked by hand and learn about the milking parlor over the 1.5-hour tour. You can also take a private tour of the farm, and the farm turns into a pumpkin patch in October. San Diego is known for being one of the best places in the U.S. for craft beer lovers because of its many breweries.

Vierra Farms is the famous location of Dave’s Pumpkin Patch, but it also offers fresh onsite product, Christmas trees, and is a wedding venue. This farm was established in 1989 and run by David Vierra, who cultivates his grandfather’s two-acre garden and another 800 acres of specialty vegetables. The pumpkin patch opens up on the last weekend of September, and the Christmas tree farm opens up on Black Friday right after Thanksgiving. There’s also a fresh produce stand that opens up in early July and offers sweet corn, zucchinis, peaches, pears, watermelons, and more.

Wind down your day with a pint of cider and famous White House blueberry donuts while listening to music by One Cello. Giving everyone the experience and flavor of “just-picked” ripe fruit makes it all worthwhile. It takes growers committed to walking the fields every day to determine when our fruit has reached it’s fullest potential. Since White House began growing and selling produce, apples have always been their specialty. They grow more than 20 varieties of apples, and sell these along with fresh-made, preservative-free apple cider in the autumn months.

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay, check out the top Airbnb rentals in the area. During the Depression, Jerome and Doris began raising fresh-market turkeys in order to keep the farm afloat. At its peak, our farm raised and dressed 5,000 turkeys, which were sold to area grocery stores and direct to our customers on the farm. Watch along as Kim Sisco takes you “behind the seeds” to look at all things farming and education.

This is a family farm that grows and harvests luffas and makes all of its products by hand. Informal tours of the small property are free and offered without reservations on Wednesdays through Sundays. After getting a personal tour, you can browse the small gift shop and purchase a natural luffa of your very own, as well as homemade soaps and lotions. The aromatherapy products here are packaged beautifully and make great gifts.

"With a wide range of women’s exclusive colorways released over the last year and more on the way, this sneaker will remain a top pick in 2023." Here’s another sneaker that’s been known and loved for decades, for good reason. First, they’ve been a court-to-street mainstay since they were introduced by Reebok in the 80s.

If you’re a man, in particular, you’ll get more than 100 styles to tweak to your needs.

From Taylor Swift and Beyoncé concerts to hot girl hikes and road trips (or jet-setting), all your hot weather plans are coming up faster than you think. Anything The Attico touches is cool, but this season their Devon heels are one of their most in-demand pieces.

Possibly, but when the final product arrives, the wait weaves itself into the backstory of your one-of-a-kind piece. To protect them even more, you can spray some acrylic sealer in the very end. This can also be any waterproof shoe spray, as long as it is clear and glossy. A matte version may cause the sparkle to decrease, so make sure you’ve purchased the right sealer.

Prada's cool slingback heels have already stood out as a fashion insider favorite this season and are only destined to get more popular. The low pointed-toe heels are designed in a rainbow of colors, each with a sporty waved sole, broken kitten heel, subtle logo, and rubber finish that make them feel timeless and modern all at once. Hoka makes some of the best running shoes with extra cushioning and support, as anyone who's trained for a 5k knows. The Clifton, one of its best-rated sneakers, is also your most comfortable in to the chunky sneaker trend for times when you're not training. You can choose from a wide range of bright color combinations and more subdued neutrals; personally, I spend all summer in a pair of white Hokas with a revolving rack of flowy dresses.

"It's just such a clean, classic shoe that goes with anything and everything," she told BAZAAR. This no-nonsense pair by Common Projects is the leader of the pack, with creamy leather and a supportive sole.

Made from 100% recycled materials, it’s designed with sustainability in mind.

At the end, cover the glitter with a thin coat of glossy mod podge. In such way, you will seal your design and make sure glitter is not shed all around the shoes. Once the mod is dry, take the newspaper out and remove the tape. In few hours (depending on the humidity), your shoes will be ready to wear. Get some rubbing alcohol and soak a cotton ball inside. Use it to wipe the area that is about to be glittered, and repeat the process as many times as necessary until the ball is completely clean.

Stirring works the best with a spoon or a Popsicle.

I love how shoes from the brand are crafted in Portugal by fifth generation cobblers. They employ the time-honored Goodyear Welt technique for making shoes, which means that your shoes can be resoled for a lifetime of wear. In terms of sizing, I strongly suggest that you consult their brand’s size guide to avoid ordering a pair that’s half a size too big or small. Comfort size, I was impressed that the shoes felt broken in and comfortable after only half a day of wear.

Things to do in San Jose, CA if You’re New to the City

Whether you’re starting from scratch or just sprucing up an existing space, interior design is essential for creating the perfect atmosphere. From choosing the right color scheme and furniture, to highlighting your baked goods and creating inviting seating areas, there are many elements that can make or break a bakery interior. Founded by interior designer Chad McPhail only four years ago, the eponymous design firm has quickly risen in recognition as a high-end residential and commercial design firm for creative-industry clients. Chad adeptly creates one-of-a-kind environments that appear as if they were born from a collection of stylish artifacts that have been in the family for years. By incorporating a love of historical narrative and contemporary craft, Chad weaves together bespoke, personal, and layered interiors that reflect and elevate the lives of the occupants.

Sugar Mama’s Old-fashioned Bakery Interior is as Sweet as Its Treats

Her themed dinner parties and holiday decor package have been sought after services for years. This pandemic bakery first opened at celebrity chef Curtis Stone’s Beverly Hills restaurant Maude in lieu of the Michelin-star restaurant’s tasting menu. Stone is also opening Pie Room at the buzzy Topanga Social at Westfield Topanga in Canoga Park. Mother-daughter team Sarah Hashemi and Lily Azar operate their two-year-old bakery out of Old Town Pasadena with a delicate touch and flavors that hail from Hashemi’s over 20 years of experience both in Iran and Europe. The display case is stunning and filled with delicate cakes, a rose water croissant, and colorful macarons.

Strategically placed furniture, such as communal tables or comfortable seating areas, can entice consumers to linger and savor their goodies. For instance, you may want your bakery to create a more creative kind of baked good in funny shapes with novel recipes. You'll want to create an environment that reflects the personality you express in the baking of your bread, pastries, and cakes, with similarly fun logos and packaging using bold shape and color that showcases your personality. While darker colors, browns, and blues, for example, feel traditional and cozy, luxurious seating will combine well.

To guarantee an effective layout, several important variables must be taken into account. Francis is a local artisan bakery designed by Willis Kusuma Architects with the concept of “artisan meets modernity” of a French-Japanese patisserie. Occupying one corner of the lower ground level of St Moritz Lippo Mall Puri, Jakarta, Indonesia, the bakery encloses an area of approximately 120m2. Given the brief to design a simple and unique yet accommodating bakery, the decision was to have a design approach that creates the warm feeling of a home.

Have multiple display stands where your delicious creations can be showcased. Put these displays in prominent areas, near doorways, windows, or on countertops that can be seen from all around the premises. Consider adding attractive props such as decorated plates, platters, and extra décor to give the display more impact. For instance, in creating seating areas, you'll need surface space for tables, seating space, and a minimum of 25” behind each chair to allow people to stand and sit comfortably.

Eclectic Decor entails combining elements from different patterns of interior decor to create a unique and exciting theme. You must hire a professional for this, else, you could end up creating an eye-sore. When we talk about industrial decor, what you should picture are bare bricks, metals, wooden tables and chairs, and a few recycled elements.

The croissants are as good as they get, but the seasonal, daily offerings aren’t worth missing either. This charming little French patisserie and bakery in Redondo Beach comes from Guillaume and Deborah, who had previously served their specialties in farmers markets across LA. With everything from croissants to gorgeous fruit tarts, the South Bay spot is destined to become a neighborhood favorite.

Customers are given a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere by the design’s minimalism, which also gives the area a modern and clean appeal. Visitors can completely appreciate the beauty and artistry of the bakery’s offerings thanks to the space’s seamless and clutter-free interior design. Visual merchandising is an important part of bakery interior design; it's how bakers convert the positive experience of a customer visit into sales. If you want to express that you are an environmentally conscious business, prioritize organic ingredients in your design. Use wood, clay, stone, or even bamboo to create a warm, inviting, and natural atmosphere.

The shop is small, covering only thirty-five square metres and occupies a strategic corner on the main pedestrian high street.

In 2006, he also helped rework the designs of the Sunset Tower Hotel to restore it as an iconic destination. Though now based in Ojai and working as more of a design advisor, he maintains his involvement in select projects.

Students sang and danced in a circle in front of the statue of John Harvard, the school’s namesake, draped with a keffiyeh (scarf), as dozens of others looked on. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a controversial aid package bill that provides billions of dollars for the Israeli military. Lawmakers who supported the aid have been among targets of the protesters. In Brooklyn, police made arrests for disorderly conduct late Tuesday during a street protest near the residence of Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the majority leader.

Margaret and her new husband would go on to move into a modest house in Stumptown, Co, which is a small town just outside of Leadville and closer to the mines where J.J. The couple both agreed these were some of the happiest years of their time together. It was their first home together and the place where they started their family, as Margaret gave birth to both of their children here – Lawrence Palmer Brown (born 1887) and Catherine Ellen Brown (born 1889). Brown was not born into money; in fact, her parents raised Brown and their other 6 children in a very modest setting. At 18, Margaret moved out to Colorado in 1886 with two of her siblings in hopes of finding success in the mining industry there. She earned money doing sewing work for a local department store until meeting James Joseph Brown, a mining superintendent, whom Margaret fell in love with and married in September of 1886.

In Brooklyn, police made scores of disorderly conduct arrests when a street protest reached a standoff Tuesday night. The protesters, organized by the activist group Jewish Voice for Peace, had gathered at Grand Army Plaza, near the home of Schumer, who has led the effort in Congress to provide funds for the Israeli military. The protesters conducted a Seder dinner and demanded a cease-fire in Gaza. Harvard students set up a ring of tents in Harvard Yard midday Wednesday and said they plan to stay put until the school’s administration responds to their demands to divest from funds that support Israel’s military.

Anne Heche’s ‘insolvent’ estate cannot settle debts, actor’s son claims in legal docs

He said there may be value in Simpson’s possessions simply because he owned them, which could increase the value of the overall estate. O.J. Simpson, whose rise and fall from American football hero to murder suspect to prison inmate fueled a public drama that obsessed the nation, has died. Just how much money Simpson had at the end of his life remains a mystery. Simpson’s death last week opened a new door for the families to finally collect.

"In light of this constructive dialogue, the University will continue conversations for the next 48 hours," the statement said. "My commitment to Israel ... is ironclad," he said, adding that more than $1 billion in aid is for Palestinians facing a humanitarian crisis because of "the war Hamas started." Biden signed a controversial aid package bill Wednesday that provides, among other things, $17 billion for Israel.

She survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912 and was known afterwards as the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown. Her house, called “the House of Lions” but historically known as the Molly Brown House, welcomed visiting royalty and international figures. A musical and movie were made about her life, and she was portrayed by actress Kathy Bates in James Cameron’s 1997 film Titanic.

On December 11, 1970, Historic Denver, Inc. was formed in a grass roots effort to save the House of Lions from demolition. Through several phases of restoration the house has been restored to its original splendor. We encourage you to visit the Museum to lend your support, see the restoration work first-hand, and learn about Denver’s own Unsinkable Margaret Brown.

Person stabbed after argument spills out of L.A. Metro bus, police say

With their new money and an already growing circle of friends, the Browns purchased what would become their long-time Denver home on Pennsylvania Avenue (now Street) in 1894. By the 1890s, the Denver skyline was filled with hotels, office blocks and looming brick smokestacks. Denver was the point of entry and departure for raw goods and there were smelters on all sides. The Tobins had progressive views that valued education, even for their daughters. Margaret attended school until age 13 and the lessons she learned from her parents stayed with her throughout her life, guiding her drive for personal growth and her commitment to participating in the world around her. Margaret Tobin Brown was born to Irish immigrants John and Johanna Tobin in 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri.

By nightfall, demonstrators sat in the street and led protest chants against Israel and U.S. foreign aid to the country. Police began pulling dozens of people, young and old, off the roadway. Officers handcuffed them with zip ties and loaded them on several buses that lined the street. Students at Brown University in Rhode Island established an encampment Wednesday. Large signs announcing "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" and "Brown invests in the Palestinian genocide" were prominently displayed. “We resist the fact that our tuition money is going toward bankrolling Israel’s genocide,” said Violet Barron, a sophomore from Los Angeles and member of the Harvard Out of Occupied Palestinian Coalition.

However, when World War I broke out, Margaret shifted her focus to relief efforts, eventually traveling to France to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Together, Margaret and Alva became involved in the National Women’s Trade Union League. Unlike other women’s organizations or labor groups, the League included both women of the upper classes and working women in an effort to advocate for a minimum wage and an eight-hour workday. Margaret traveled the country speaking about both women’s issues and labor issues, and authored dozens of newspaper articles.

Historic Denver is actively engaged every day with community members, property owners, neighborhoods and partners to find creative solutions for the places where growth and preservation meet. Through advocacy, educational experiences, and technical support, we help tell the stories of our city through its places. The group’s efforts to save the house may have started in the 1970s but restoration on the 132-year-old house continues today.

The Goldman family can file a claim against Simpson’s estate in an effort to extract some funds, but it’s not clear how much they could ultimately receive, said Elizabeth Bawden, an adjunct professor at UCLA School of Law who specializes in estate planning. LaVergne walked back that statement Monday, saying he was responding to “highly inflammatory” remarks made by the Goldman family’s attorney after Simpson’s death. Legal experts said the death of Simpson — who had fought efforts to pay the judgment — offers a new window for the families, but they still face what could be a lengthy battle. Five decades into our journey we remain actively engaged every day in the places that mean the most to Denverites — advocating for them and sharing their stories. It would take years of restoration to get the house back to its 1910 grandeur when Brown had the house photographed in her heyday. The detailed photos of the home did not surface until the mid-1970s, but it finally meant that preservationists had a clearer picture of what the interior looked like then than ever before.

The two never divorced, but the separation lasted until J.J.’s death in 1922. In addition to the philanthropy made possible by their wealth, the Browns enjoyed another new pursuit, travel. Embarked on a world tour that took them through Ireland, France, Russia, India and Japan, among other places. Both Browns enjoyed the trip immensely, with Margaret writing travel articles detailing her observations of India’s caste system for the Denver papers. The Brown’s move to Denver did not provide an escape from the effects of the Silver Crash as their new city was burdened with social chaos. Children especially struggled with poverty and homelessness and drew the attention of progressive reformers.

The reasons behind the post-ski-day I-70 traffic jam and why the resorts don’t help by staggering closing times

In the 1880s, the lucky few who made millions in the mountains, the railroads, or trade moved to the prestigious Capitol Hill neighborhood. This included Isaac and Mary Large who made their fortune in silver mining and built the house at 1340 Pennsylvania Avenue. They commissioned the well-known architect William Lang who combined the styles of Classic Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque to create a unique and eclectic home.

How to prepare for your visit:

A civil court jury in 1997 found Simpson liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend and ordered the former football star to pay their families more than $33 million. The tiger face Gucci wallpaper was the inspiration for a powder room’s design. “Miley had told me that when you’re in this bathroom, it should be an experience,” says Tish. When we put the finishing touches of the horsehair sconces in, it was like, Wow, it works and it’s awesome.” A 1970s brass and Murano glass mirror hangs over a custom marble vanity complete with an Isla faucet from Waterworks. “My biggest thing is that when you walk into someone’s house,” says Tish, “I want you to know who lives there, what their personality is, what they love, and what they’re like. I know Miley so well, and we’re so close, so I was really able to do that.” The result?

"We refuse to let our traditions be used to starve, displace, and massacre Palestinians," the Jewish Voice for Peace said in a tweet during the protest.

As one of the nation’s premier nonprofit urban preservation organizations, Historic Denver works everyday to promote and protect Denver’s historic places and spaces.

Her efforts also lead to the preservation of Denver poet Eugene Field’s home. Her interest in politics put her on the forefront of the women’s movement. Her true fame, however, was linked with the greatest shipping disaster known up to that point in history---the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Our guided tour features a walk-through of the house, including three floors and 16 rooms. You’ll walk into the elaborate golden entryway designed to impress the Browns’ guests, view the library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, experience the Browns’ private sitting area and bedrooms, and glimpse the living and working quarters of their servants.

Her style appealed to both men and women, many of whom supported the progressive platform. However, it pushed off from Titanic with 21 women, 2 men and a twelve-year-old boy on board. One way is through primary source documents such as a scrapbook compiled by Margaret’s niece, Helen Tobin Kosure. Helen traveled extensively with Margaret during one of the busiest periods of her life. Her scrapbook contains historical gems that broadened our understanding of Margaret. The links below will lead you to dynamic visuals of that information created by Molly Brown House Museum student interns from Johns Hopkins University.

Malcomb said Historic Denver opened the doors of the house and told visitors to use their imagination to envision the past. The Molly Brown House Museum’s collection consists of approximately 9000 objects, photos and archives which help us understand the life and historical context of the “Unsinkable” Margaret Tobin Brown, including her 1889 house on Capitol Hill.

The Tobins were part of a wave of immigration following the first period of industrialization in America. Hannibal was a diverse community where Margaret was exposed to a variety of people and interests and where her parents found a group of like-minded Irish Catholic immigrants who supported both freedom and equality.

The home contained all the modern technology of the day including electricity, indoor plumbing, heat, and telephone. After the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893, the Large family sold the house. It was purchased by James Joseph Brown (J.J.), Margaret's husband, in 1894 for US$30,000 and the title was transferred to Margaret in 1898, possibly due to J.J.'s deteriorating health. Before the school issued the statement, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said administrators threatened to bring in police and the National Guard if protesters did not comply with their demands. "We remain steadfast in our convictions and will not be intimidated by the University's disturbing threat of an escalation of violence," the group said in a statement.

She distributed extra blankets and supplies gathered by the crew and passengers of the Carpathia to women who were sleeping in the dining room and corridors. Margaret realized that many women had lost everything- husbands, children, clothes, money and valuables- and needed to start a life in a new country. She rallied the first class passengers to donate money to help less fortunate passengers. The Progressive movement had grown out of the social turmoil created by industrialization and dense urban environments; Margaret joined the reformers to install public baths in the courthouse and advocate for more public parks and other city improvements.

It was also female dominated, as the men spent most of their time in New York City doing business, only coming to town for social outings on the weekends. Margaret Brown was drawn to the independent women of Newport even though her fortune was small in comparison. Margaret was quickly accepted by Newport’s leaders, particularly Alva Vanderbilt Belmont, the President of the National Women’s Suffrage Association. Her knowledge of foreign languages enabled her to console survivors who spoke little English.

It is most famously recognized as the summer retreat for Margaret and her husband James Joseph Brown. The home, completed in 1897, sat on 400 plus acres of land and was considered one of the top farms in Colorado at the time, featuring a 100+ orchard trees that produced everything from peaches and plums to cherries and apples. There was also a large variety of livestock, fowl, and thoroughbred horses on the property. The momentum created by the Conference of Great Women and the support of national suffrage leaders like Alva Belmont and Alice Paul propelled Margaret to her proposed bid for a political seat as a U.S.

She said the school’s administration has consistently suppressed student support for Palestinians and now, after more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, the students decided to take more public action. “We tried countless times to go through institutional channels,” Barron said. Columbia student protest organizers said Wednesday the university has conceded to some demands but is still putting students at risk of attacks. Meanwhile, police arrested protesters Wednesday at the University of Southern California campus, which closed to the public Wednesday amid clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and authorities at the school and nationwide.

If you want to let loose and have fun, it will add hundreds (and maybe thousands) to your cruise fare. As a rule of thumb, expect to spend between 30-40% of your cruise fare in onboard spending. That’s around what the cruise companies show as the amount earned in onboard spending in their financial reports. The average cruise cost is estimated to be $214.25 per person per day.

Alcoholic beverages & specialty coffees onboard

Bring enough cash to tip your porter $1 to $4 per person, or $1-2 per bag. It’s not required, but it is a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. Cruise lines will often offer a “guaranteed” category cabin. This means you can get a certain category type, such as an Interior cabin, Oceanview, or Balcony cabin, and the cruise line guarantees it. These cruises are a great option for those on a tight budget. They typically offer basic accommodations and amenities but can still be fun.

Onboard Prices for Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Reflection

Even tacky trinkets and T-shirts can add up if you're buying for your extended family-and-friend network. Prices can range from low-budget tee’s to a piece of jewelry valued in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt machines are usually free of charge at the buffet or pool deck. Still, gambling is a fun way to pass the time if you like gaming.

However, A person driving a luxury car will surely have different expectations. Cruising, in general, is all very impressive, but it is often the small details that as a whole that often help differentiate each cruise product’s overall customer experience. Unfortunately, most cruise ship packages don’t include souvenirs. Using shopping sales to your advantage is a great way to reduce the average cost of a cruise. All ships offer free dining in the ship's main dining room and buffet, but nearly every ship today has one or many extra-fee dining venues (specialty restaurants).

If we look at the Norwegian Epic cruise ship cost per tonnage, we get a price tag showing $7,699 per GT. The ship measures 225k gross tons and is one of the largest in the fleet. If we look at the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship cost per tonnage, we get a price tag showing $5,771 per GT. The ship measures 228k gross tons and is one of the largest in the fleet. If we look at the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship cost per tonnage, we get a price tag showing $5,919 per GT. If we look at the Harmony of the Seas cruise ship cost per tonnage, we get a price tag showing $5,929 per GT.

How Much Does a Cruise Cost? (Total Cost)

Once you have collected enough points, you can redeem them for room upgrades, onboard credit, companion fares or even a discounted sailing. Unless you live in the port city you're departing from, you'll want to plan for extra travel costs. First, consider whether you can drive to the port or if you'll need to fly. Booking shore excursions can be a great way to participate in local experiences at each port of call.

Some of the ships in their collection can be a bit outdated but prices often reflect this and you can still expect a high level of onboard entertainment, meals, and service. You’ll also see thousands of people on some of these mega-ships so while service should still be up there, don’t expect anything too personal. Don't be blindsided by extra fees and expenses on your cruise. Read our guide and learn how much does a cruise cost, including drinks, packages, and activities. The amount of the surcharge can vary a lot depending on the cruise line, the cabin type, and where you’re going. Some cruise lines might not charge the fee for certain cabins or certain sailings, so it’s worth checking with them to see what your options are.

Is there a best time to book my cruise in order to get the best price?

The port normally charges each passenger a fee, and this charge is included in the price of the cruise. These port fees are a fixed cost and can not be reduced or waived. So when you are booking a cruise, a 7-day cruise with more port visits will often cost more. One of the best parts of a cruise is the opportunity to explore different ports of call. Most cruise lines offer a variety of shore excursions, from sightseeing tours to outdoor adventures. These excursions can be expensive, however, so it’s important to budget for them accordingly.

The average cruise costs $237 per person per day, and that includes both fare and onboard spending. The data was compiled from Carnival Corp. & plc and Royal Caribbean Group earnings numbers to average what passengers typically spent last year. Most cruise lines offer alcoholic drink packages that include specific types of beverages for a set price. You'll want to plan for this extra cost if you plan to drink on your vacation. Each cruise will come with port fees which are the cost for the ship to dock in a certain port.

Some lines have sales that remove the supplements on specific sailings; luxury lines like Seabourn and Silversea frequently offer single supplements as low as 10 to 25% of the fare. Many new big cruise ships have dedicated solo cabins. The best known are Norwegian Cruise Line's studio cabins. P&O Cruises' Britannia has single balcony cabins, a first for the line. Other lines with a small number of solo cabins on select ships include Royal Caribbean, Cunard and Holland America Line.

We have specific estimates (using actual figures from the cruise lines!) below. If you’re a big souvenir shopper, you’ll want to factor in some additional cash into your cruise budgeting. Clothing, jewelry, and duty-free liquor are some of the items you can buy onboard. Some ships have self-service laundry rooms which can either be free or start from $2 per load.

Some lines, like Norwegian, are starting to move toward a la carte prices in their alternative venues. Specialty dessert venues, dinner theater, pizza delivery and even pub grub could cost extra. Keep these extras in mind while cruising so you’ll end up with an average cruise cost. You'll pay extra for everything from casual Italian to exclusive private degustation experiences and restaurants designed by celebrity chefs. Meals at specialty restaurants are unfortunately not included with cruise tickets.

After 2023, we can say that cruising is back with ships sailing at full capacity. Getting to the Ship (Transportation, Parking, Hotel)Whether you fly, ride, or drive to the port, you will have some more expenses that you have to consider for your budget. GratuitiesIf you’ve never sailed on a cruise before, you might be unsure of exactly what gratuities are and how they work.
