Top of the Line: Beautyrest Black — High Point Spring Market 2013

Is this like Marlboro Black?

Top of the Line: Beautyrest Black

In addition to the all the sofas and chairs we road-tested while at Market, we gave a few mattresses a try. At Simmons we tried out four lines and their "Black" series is top of the line. They are blinged out, not crazy expensive and comfy.

CurbedWire: Methane Alert at the Tar Pits, Coldwater Canyon Reopens Early

by Adrian Glick Kudler
Kristen

I was wondering why there were so many fire trucks in front of work. Glad to know we could have all been blown sky high.

2013.04_methanetarpits.jpg

MIRACLE MILE: Whoa, @LAScanner picks up a report of high methane levels at Wilshire and Curson, in the general La Brea Tar Pits zone. Who knows why or what it means?? But we do know at least that the methane produced by the tar pits is not a byproduct of oil creation; it comes from "hardy bacteria" that live in the tar, eat the petroleum, and produce methane, according to a 2007 LA Times story. Hundreds of species of the bacteria were previously unknown before being discovered in the tar pits. [@LAScanner]

THE VALLEY: Coldwater Canyon has been completely shut down most of the time for the last month while the LADWP replaces part of a century-old water line--it reopened tonight at 7 pm, two days ahead of schedule. NB, though, left turns from Coldwater Canyon onto Ventura Boulevard will still be prohibited until June 1 "as minor work continues just south of Ventura Boulevard on the west side of Coldwater Canyon in the Studio City area."

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Visit the Disneyland Resort

by George Savvas
Kristen

didn't they break up? I am only sharing this to see how well sharing works.

Newly-engaged couple Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis visited the Disneyland Resort recently and while Jason told me he hadn’t been here in many years, it turned out that this was actually Olivia’s very first visit to any Disney Parks.

Before they made their way to their first attraction of the day, and Olivia’s first one ever, Olivia thought she could remove the sword from the The Sword in the Stone in Fantasyland (did I mention this was her first visit?).
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Visit the Disneyland Resort
With Jason’s encouragement, she really did try, but alas, it seemed she was not the “ruler of the realm” after all. But have no fear, this happy couple was still able to spend the rest of the day playing at Disneyland park before enjoying their evening at Disney California Adventure park. Not too bad for a first-timer.

In case you were wondering what Olivia’s first-ever Disney attraction was that day … It was Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride!

That's Rather Hideous: Art Lovers' Nightmare in Glendora is Back and Even Hideouser

by Eve Bachrach
Kristen

WHOOP WHOOP ugly house alert.


Remarkably, this assault on the eyeballs in Glendora failed to sell when it hit the market back in August asking $1.988 million. But the five-bedroom, four-bath temple of restraint has just been relisted with a modest price chop down to $1.8 million and a new crop of listing photos. Clearly the agent didn't feel the first batch did justice to the $700,000 worth of custom features and upgrades dumped all over the house. Specifically, the crazy ass murals everywhere. The naked-lady-on-the-moon positioned over the spa tub is a highlight. And how about that giant horse statue? What's that? If you want to experience the majesty of this home with music and a glass of wine, you're in luck. There's a video.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Goldilocks jumped down Alice's rabbit hole? Well it might look a little something like my quest for amazing homemade churros. It took some experimenting, you see. The first round of churros? Good but not great. The second batch? Still not quite. Third time? Well you know what they say — third time's the charm!

Review: Sleepy Hollow Refreshments at Magic Kingdom

by AJ
Kristen

I chicken and waffle "sandwich" that is just a waffle folded in half.

You know, I go to Sleepy Hollow Refreshments SO often when I’m in Disney World that I sometimes forget that it’s been a while since I actually “reviewed” it here on DFB! Let’s remedy that with some awesome pics of one of my favorite spots in the Magic Kingdom.

Learn About:
Sleepy Hollow Magic Kingdom
Disney World Restaurants

Sleepy Hollow has always been one of the hidden gems in Disney World. It looks small and standard, but the menu packs a bunch of unique items that you can’t find anywhere else in Disney World. These include the now-cult-favorite waffle sandwiches in a couple of different varieties. Few folks visiting the park can resist stopping by for a sweet or savory waffle!

I’ve tried them a time or two, and I certainly have my favorites (mmmm…Nutella!). But today, I’m stopping by to see if they’re just as good as I remember! And I’ll probably need to snag a certain very favorite dessert while I’m here as well. :-)

Atmosphere

If you veer left from Main Street toward Adventureland, and then hang a right on the foot bridge leading toward Cinderella Castle, you can’t miss Sleepy Hollow. Located at the entrance to the quaint Liberty Square area, this is a great spot to take a breather.

As you approach, you’ll see that Sleepy Hollow is a walk-up spot. The line wraps around the side — and there often is one, so be prepared.

Here’s some seriously fascinating trivia — the design of Sleepy Hollow’s facade is actually based on Washington Irving’s house in Tarry Town, New York. The detail of this place never ceases to amaze me. (Irving penned The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. But you knew that, of course.)

Sunnyside, Washington Irving's Home in Tarry Town, New York

The spot is centrally located in the park, which means you’re steps away from anything that you’d like to take in next. That makes it a good rendezvous spot as well.

There is quite a bit of picnic-style seating beyond the pick up window, and you have a fun side view of the castle show while you’re eating.

All of the seating is located outdoors, but there’s a shady area with an overhang if you prefer it. Not many folks know about this seating area, so you may be able to find a table even on busy days.

When we finally got through the line and were ready to order, I had to snap a pic of the MyMagic Reader that’s set up at the ordering window. This is where you scan your key card to pay these days! It’s part of the MyMagic+ system Disney will be rolling out over the next year.

My Magic Key Card and Band Scanner Set Up at Sleepy Hollow

So, what will it be today? So much awesome to choose from…

Eats

Sleepy Hollow is still primarily a snack or breakfast stop, but with the addition of the savory waffles, you can easily make a meal here. (Look at all those Disney Dining Plan snack credit options!)

Sleepy Hollow Menu -- Click to Enlarge

As we reported on the Disney Food News Pin Board, the same souvenir steins that come filled with Le Fou’s Brew over at Gaston’s Tavern can be purchased here as well.

At Sleepy Hollow, you’ll find them decked out with The Headless Horseman on one side and Ichabod Crane on the other.

Souvenir Mug -- Headless Horsemen Side

Souvenir Mug -- Ichabod Crane Side

I was here mostly for the eats, however. Famished, I went for the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich.

We’ve reviewed this one before, and it’s definitely gotten high marks. The chicken and toppings seemed a little smaller this time than last, but it was still quite a large serving.

Chicken and Waffle Sandwich

A freshly made waffle is wrapped around a breaded and fried chicken breast which has been liberally coated with a sweet and spicy sauce.

Topped with creamy, crunchy slaw with an Asian flavor and arugula, this is so delicious. It’s shareable as a snack and substantial enough for a meal. But beware! It’s VERY messy. Get a lot of those little Disney napkins when you pass by the dispenser! :-)

Chicken and Waffle Sandwich -- Different Angle

But I wasn’t leaving one of my favorite stops without one of my favorite desserts — the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich!

Seriously, this is one of the snacks that has stuck with me since my very first “grown-up” visit to Disney World. They’re unique, fresh, and delicious…and well worth the cost!

Two big, beautiful chocolate chip cookies, smooshed together with vanilla bean ice cream make up this simple treat. Again…very big, and very messy! ;-)

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich -- Up Close

And what makes a homemade ice cream cookie sandwich even better? Eating it beside Cinderella Castle, of course!

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich by the Castle!

And with that quick stop, I was fueled up for more fun!

Overall

I continue to adore Sleepy Hollow for the beauty of its location as well as the remarkable eats that it features. Long a favorite of mine for soups and ice cream, lots fellow DFB readers find this a mandatory stop for delicious, fresh funnel cakes as well.

I happily and heartily recommend that you stop by Sleepy Hollow if you haven’t had the chance, and especially try the remarkable waffle sandwiches. They’re filling, delicious, not-too-expensive, and unique — a combination that makes them perfect Disney food.
