Bite-Sized Review
Xinh Bistro Lounge (SOMA)
 Tucked in a clandestine corner of the City, Xinh Bistro Lounge is perfect for a break-up-the-routine lunch featuring contemporary Vietnamese. Their delicious staples include the crispy imperial rolls, meatball pho, roasted five-spice chicken, beef carpaccio, shaken beef, minced gator lettuce wraps (ok, and maybe a few not-so-traditional options). Spartan, yet elegant designs including vaulted ceilings make for a dramatic backdrop… a memorable venue to host an exclusive prix fixe dinner party. Otherwise, before to call ahead for a Friday or Saturday night dinner in case someone else has booked.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover... but that was long before there was the magical Kindle 2 which absolutely requires a cover for safety and style.
The Kindle 2 might not have come into this world naked... but pretty darn close. Amazon's prepackaged cover would've been great for a hotel pad of paper and a pen. But job numero uno for a cover is safety. (safety never takes a holiday.) So for a $300+ device, I require a durable cover that will protect my Kindle if I accidentally gravity test it.
The Bobarra Thoreau cover has 4 elastic bands securely latching my Kindle into the cover. Thoreau once said that “books are the carriers of civilization.” But when civilization needs to carry their book, they don't want to be worried about dropping them. For someone who is always running around, I sincerely appreciate the safety of the Thoreau.
But I'm not one to compromise on style. I love the sleek brown leather with fastidious stitching around the edges... professional and cool—I've gotten a few inquiries about where I purchased this cover while riding the bus around town.
Overall, I am very happy with my Kindle 2 and love my Thoreau cover.
