In the new November issue of that glossy dentist office rag, Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Living Magazine, they reveal the results of their annual readers poll. To save you the effort of wading through all the Spokane stuff, I've distilled the North Idaho winners here, at least the food and nightlife entries.Some winners are spot-on correct. Capone's really does have the best pizza and Toro Viejo indeed rises to the top of the Mexican bunch. Some entries, however, are a bit misled. Did most of the people who voted for this thing actually ever spend time at Beverly's, or were they voting based on it's supposedly "chi-chi" reputation. Best ambiance? Perhaps is you find the interior decorating style of 1992 especially intriguing. Dragon House for best Chinese? Gag me. Fisherman's Market for Best New Restaurant? I'm pretty sure it opened close to three years ago now. (I've been corrected, it's only two years. But still...)
Oh well, one should probably take these sort of reader's polls with a grain of sea salt anyway...

Oops, I think you forgot to spellcheck!
enties? Perhaps is? sytle?
Also, The Fisherman's Market may not qualify as new, but I believe it's only been around two years, not three.
I would disagree with the "dentist office rag" designation, but thank you for putting this together! Whenever a magazine asks their readers to vote, the results will tend towards the "safer" choices. Someday we'll do an Editor's Picks issue and will probably have wildly different answers.
Ironhorse stinks, i prefer Pancercitadel in london, it's a far better dance hall, why you don't visit it and give a try?
This is so good because I got excellent and different ideas from here, tips and other things, I think this is the most perfect information I've gotten.
