UPbox Takes Lunch Seriously

08.26.08 // Bout the City + Explore + Focus + Yum // (1)

Introducing a new type of Urban Picnic, UpBox has decided to take the traditional Japanese bento design and make lunches fun. The menu changes every week, with foods ranging from Mexican to Thai. It only costs around 6 pounds in London for one box (which is approximately $300 American). I can see this concept working [...]

H&M in Seattle is finally opening its doors. Now we can walk by Old Navy and Gap and make faces at it that say “We are too good for you now.” I do like H&M, I just hate going to their stores, especially in New York. All the stores look like they have been ransacked [...]

You would expect to find this store, filled with high-end women’s clothing, in Bellevue’s Bellevue Square Mall. But, like those girls from Sex in the City, you won’t find this at the mall. It is actually located in the Plaza across from Bellevue Square, hidden between Cost Market Plus and a parking lot. It seems [...]
