We did not get reservations for dinner… so we were thinking of doing something non Valentine-ish, we went to Tandoori Palace (my favorite Indian Restaurant) on Valentines Day 2005… and it was love at first bite. Forgive me for mentioning the now closed Tandoori Palace again… it is part of the grieving process…. Valentines Day 2006 we cooked fish at home if I am not mistaken… and that is chronicled on Discover Columbus which used to be Columbus Best Blog….

This year I was thinking Vietnamese? Or Japanese steak house? Or ribs at Hoggy’s? Trying to think of places very close because of the snow… which means Crosswoods or Polaris….

Crosswoods

Amazon Steakhouse … we tried it… funny I have never blogged about it YET.
Cameron Mitchell Steakhouse… probably booked
Hyde Park … probably booked
Ruth Chris… ha ha… never been there. I have no interest for some reason. $$$?
Isn’t Crosswoods heavy in steak? BEEF, it’s what’s for dinner? There’s Alexanders too and J. Gilberts… The middle eastern place… by the movie theater? Tuts? …nah… Sushiko? I am not into sushi… BW3… I am not in the mood for wings… ( I don’t think I have ever ate at a BW3.)
Columbus Fish Market booked… we tried to get reservation there AFTER not being able to get into Columbus Fish Market on Olentangy River Road (pre snow storm… we will drive and there is a slight preference for the original location over the Crosswoods CFM)

Polaris Mall
Lindy’s is probably booked
Molly Woo’s lots of red but maybe better for Chinese New Year on the 18th….

Polaris area

Halong Bay? Vietnamese Lisa at Restaurant Widow gave it thumbs up
Hoggy’s?
The Japanese Steak House?
The Indian place on Sancus by Halong Bay? Been there… not thrilled
Hooters? No comment
Mimis? maybe….
Claddagh…? no St. Pat’s is coming up….

There’s also plenty of places like Max and Erma’s or Red Robin… maybe red meat at Red Robin would not be bad for Valentines Day….

Although by tonight maybe it will be OK to venture to Worthington, Dublin, Westerville or points beyond…. Cameron Mitchell Restaurants and others were closed last night because of the snow. Lisa at Restaurant Widow wrote Monday (for those last minute Valentines Day plans for those who do not think ahead) that the Burgundy Room had reservations available… or BOMA… I have always wanted to try The Burgundy Room….

Or maybe Sno Cones at the UDF on the corner of Worthington Woods and Worthington-Galena Rd?

Happy Valentines Day Columbus!

Note to self next year think ahead. The Dispatch had this great list of romantic places for special Valentines Day experiences.

I am not sure if many Columbus Bloggers put their faces on Tino Buntic’s 2000 Bloggers project. I know at least one other Columbus Real Estate Blogger, put her picture among the 2000 faces, Elaine Reese of Reese’s Pieces of Real Estate Blog. I recognized a New Hampshire blogger who grew up in Columbus. Read more about the social order of blogs,“Blogeoisie.”

For pete’s sake this blog is just about 5 weeks old. Badges below are posted now before Technorati discounts those links… I’ll probably never be a B - list blogger again…. I am C-list on Discover Columbus and it is only worth about $26,000 after 17 or 18 months????

Thanks to Sellsius° Blog. I did not realize the 2000 Bloggers project was down.

“Sleep in the City
Best and Worst Cities for Sleep
As our lifestyle becomes increasingly stressful due to work, relationships, and world events, the need for sleep becomes ever more important. According to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (Sleep in America), nearly seven out of 10 Americans said they experience frequent sleep problems. Sleep loss has been linked to health problems such as obesity and high blood pressure, negative mood and behavior, decreased productivity, and safety issues in the home, on the job, and on the road. For these reasons, we are updating our original 2004 Sleep in the City analysis.

Methodology
As in the 2004 analysis, the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) were included in the analysis, as defined by the United State Census Bureau. For consistency with the previous analysis, we used the same 50 metro areas.

The analysis was based on four criteria:

# of days in the last month that respondents did not get enough rest or sleep
Average length of daily commute
Divorce rate
Unemployment rate “
