The Grape

The Grape surprised us in two ways: We expected better wine and worse food.

HEIDI’S PICKS

Heidi’s Picks is a weekly selection of restaurant suggestions from Review-Journal critic Heidi Knapp Rinella.

Patti Lupone

A day in the life of a down-to-earth diva: Patti Lupone says she was thinking about how to finish the David Mamet chapter in her autobiography while driving her dog home from the vet.

Chambers comedy unique to its time

Last week’s death of porn pioneer Marilyn Chambers excavated a showbiz artifact so forgotten it takes an archaeologist — or at least a microfilm reader — to find its remains.

Try something different with a horseback excursion

Horseback excursions into Southern Nevada’s scenic outback remain among the most popular outdoor adventures available for both visitors and residents. Guided trail rides explore remote areas away from paved highways. Riders experience the trail on treks lasting from an hour to several hours when combined with meals, such as pack-along box lunches or breakfast or dinner cooked trailside.

Strip performer playing with fire

“Bite” replaced its lord vampire, but the former one will “Ignite” the Greek Isles with a new revue.

BLT Burger

BLT Burger’s staff members wear T-shirts emblazoned with various slogans, some a little racy, some not. We’re guessing they can pick the shirts that reflect their personalities, or maybe their moods. In which case we think the hostess who seated us should get one that says "I’m snippy because my shorts are too tight." Or maybe it was her boots.
