Watch for Fluff Bar to open in early October at 1516 Wazee Street. Originally slated to be called Fluff Beauty Bar, the combo hair salon, cocktail lounge and champagne bar dropped “beauty” for reasons that should be obvious — if you’ve ever been to the fourteen-month-old Beauty Bar, at least…

His recent interview with Dietrich — and Dietrich’s stated intention to keep Stranahan’s from compromising its blend, prompted this response from…
Cafe Society served up three Guess Where? contests last week, featuring everything from a molcajete that missed the mark to a Greek salad with gyros to a plate of lackluster rotisserie chicken.
