RFT: Best Vintage Store (2006)
"At every good vintage store, there's that thing. A hey-wait-how-weird item that everyone comments upon but no one ever buys. At Retro 101, that thing is a Brooke Shields doll, circa The Blue Lagoon. The doe-eyed, Barbie-size Brooke lives out her tiny days in her original packaging, in a small niche next to Retro 101's basement stairs. We enjoy spending time on all three of the store's floors. Up top is a Grandma's-attic-style wonderland that houses gorgeous retro duds; the main level boasts everything from mid-twentieth-century furniture (think mod couches and chairs) to '60s costume jewelry to kitschy barware. And Retro 101's basement looks like a post-WWII time capsule constructed by the coolest moms on the block: seafoam-green ice cream machines, yards of pretty fabric, cookbooks untouched by politically correct hands (we love Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls), old Life magazines, colored-glass salt <\#213>n' pepper shakers. You'll rarely see the same thing twice at Retro 101—except for the Brooke Shields doll, but her presence is a comfort. In fact, consider her the patron saint of the finest vintage store in town."

RFT: Best Sunday Brunch (2005)
"If Holly Golightly had practiced her insouciant brand of hedonism just a few years longer -- waiting out the goody-two-shoes good times of the late 1950s and early 1960s and helping herald in America's groovy, post-JFK counterculture -- she wouldn't have had any more breakfasts at Tiffany's. She would have enjoyed brunches at Shangri-La, a trippy time capsule of a diner nestled among the vintage stores of Cherokee Street's quaint Antique Row. The place screams acid trip, from the Pucci-inspired hanging beads to the Yellow Submarine poster at the counter. Shangri-La is only open four days a week, serving breakfast Thursday through Saturday and an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch on Sunday that brings out south city's artsy-fartsies in droves. Shangri-La is a vegetarian (not vegan) restaurant, so the food can be hippy-dippy: scrambled tofu, multigrain toast, fake bacon. But there's also a gluttonous cr�me brélée French toast, fruit pie and sprightly fresh-squeezed strawberry-lime-orange juice. As the Archies would have sung (probably in a place much like this one): aw, sugar sugar!"
