"If It Were a Car, It'd Be a Ford Aerostar..."
Today at wweek.com, Mike Thelin dishes on some recent additions to the neighborhood (Leonardo's and Isabel). We couldn't help but love the article, despite that it's not a glowing review of these spots. If only more restaurant/food writing were that funny.

Our Favorite New Shop: Pearl Specialty Market & Spirits
Just in time for our holiday parties, the Pearl has a liquor store! But not just any liquor store - in fact, it's hardly a true liquor store, according to the owners.
Brothers Malik and Murad Pirani are the visionaries behind Pearl Specialty Market & Spirits, aiming to cater to "those seeking the finer things in life."
We got a sneak peak last night, and the store - located at 900 NW Lovejoy (in the Burlington building) - is coming together beautifully. Today is the soft opening. It will officially open in January.
According to co-owner Malik: "It's a liquor store that has been completely dressed up to meet the class and expectations of the Pearl District. We have over 300 wines, 25 cigars, fine bottled waters, chocolates, gourmet cheeses, premium oils, vinegars, crackers and caviar. Our objective is to carry a selection of 'best in class' in all these categories. We have been selective in what we carry to assure anything you buy in the store will provide you with a quality experience."
It's obvious that the Pirani brothers have put an incredible amount of thought and energy into every specialty category. For example, their fine bottled water section will span at least 15 countries and offer some exclusive items such as Bling H20 (the bottle is exquisitely handcrafted with Swarovski Crystals!), Speyside Glenlivet from Scotland, Badoit from France and Cape Karoo from South Africa.
The shop's humidor will also have prime choices, such as the Gurkha Grand Reserve, which is infused with aged cognac, and classics such as the Padron Anniversary 1926. Last but not least, they will also carry one of the largest selections of Scotch in the state.
Looks like we'll be doing our holiday gift shopping here as well... it's the perfect spot to find gifts for the friends on your list that "have everything."
