I finally made it over to Pink Box Doughnuts to see what everyone has been raving about. I will say one thing, you cannot compare Pink Box to places like Dunkin' Donuts or Winchell's because they are simply different. After having Pink Box, I can't see ever going to one of those chains again when I can go to a locally owned shop and taste the love in each bite. These doughnuts are made from scratch daily.  They have the doughnuts broken down into 3 different types: classic, specialty and gourmet. The classic such as "Glazed" or "Buttermilk" are $1 each. The specialty doughnuts like the "Bavarian Creme" are $1.25 each and gourmet favorites like the "Fat Elvis" or "Date With A Nutty Pig" are $1.75 each. They have half and full dozen boxes (pink of course!) with prices ranging from $8.50 - $12.50 for those.  I saw on Facebook they were now selling "Cronuts" so of course I asked about those. They were sold out! I spoke with Lance behind the counter who said they had made Cronuts 3 times that day already. I went just after 11 am so apparently people are scrambling to try them. Not having tried the original from NYC, how can I really compare it though? I guess I just want to taste it and get some sort of idea what it might be like. I will try again! Lance says you can just call ahead and if they have the menu item you are looking for then they will hold it for you.   So I decided that I needed to try the "Fat Elvis" after hearing about it and I am kicking myself for not trying this sooner. DELICIOUS! It is just flat out good! The Fat Elvis is topped with chocolate icing & a caramelized banana, and filled with a homemade peanut butter & banana filling. This doughnut had me feeling stingy since I didn't want to share a single bite with hubby, but I had to darn it!  The 'Apple Fritter" needs some work. The texture is perfect. It is soft and chewy inside, and crunchy on the outside where it needs to be. The thing that gets me is why it's called an apple fritter if there are no apples in it? I didn't bite into a single apple! Boo-Hoo!  When I saw a Doughnut with fruit loops on it I had to give it a try. I was told by a worker that this was called the "Fruit Loop Doughnut" and I get the fun concept, but it just doesn't work. The long glazed doughnut is really good, but the fruit loops they put on top just absorb the glaze they rest on so they are soggy and chewy.   Last and certainly not least is the "Cinnamon Tornado" and I have to tell you, it lives up to the name. When I took the first bite it was like a tornado of instant flavor, and it seriously melted inside my mouth. Very yummy.  There was a sign out front that said they are now open 24 hours on weekends.

Been trying to deal with them for two days and they've been nothing but rude and disrespectful and were going to charge me $85 after they put my car in a bad location. They weren't cooperative in any way and the dispatch was anything but helpful. They told me I had to wait 3 hours before a truck would get to me.   I'll never use ABC towing even through AAA. These people don't care about anyone but what money they put in their pockets.

Yes the door says "Eyelash Extensions"  but if you are even thinking about it, RUN in the other direction and do not torture your eyes.    I'll admit it was new years eve and i was driving by and happen to see the sign and had not had time to go to my regular place.  I prefer the 3 lash "flares" versus the individual lash extensions because they are easier, less expensive, faster and not as delicate as the singles.  Usually 10-15 little flares, with a little dot of glue is perfect for a glam look without spending 2 hours in the chair and $200.  $35-45 is the going rate, 30-40 minutes for application for flares. Normally since there are only a few glue dots versus almost every lash having glue, they are more comfortable.     the price and time was correct, but the application was HORRIBLE.  I'm not even sure how to explain it. The result was like taking 4 lash STRIPS, gluing them together with rubber cement and then gluing them to your skin at the lash line.  Tiffany did put flares on me, but she put so many,  and used so much glue,  and glued each piece to each other and to my skin it was so painful.  They were thick and horrible and un-natural looking and did not even cover the length of my eyelid.   There were so many lashes and so much glue that I could see them like I was wearing a black visor pulled down over my eyes.  The way they were glued to my lash line skin was pulling my eyelid up so I could see the inner rim of my eye in the mirror.  I could not even close my eyes the entire way, so when I showered, water was getting in my eyes because they would not close because the glue was pulling my eyelid up.  The glue was THICK and HARD and went from my lash line more than half way down the lashes and like a 1/4" thick.    In the inner corner of my eye, one of my natural lashes was pulled and caught into the glue so hard, it was hurting.  I finally had to pick at the glue on my skin to release it and it bled.    I managed to drink enough alcohol that night to withstand the discomfort.   New years day they were closed, so I went back the next day to see if they could be removed.  It took 30 minutes for her to spackle them on, and 2 hours to take them off.  There was so much glue, even her solvent would not release them.  I was terrified as she was picking an scratching at my eyes and lids with sharp objects trying to release them.  I heard scissors clipping also, but did not care.  After 2 hours of soaking and picking and pulling I was finally free.   The release from the pain, and fear of her poking my eyeball or burning it with solvent, finally let go and I bawled like a baby.  It wasn't till then that she said "sorry" .    Of course when I looked in the mirror 70% of my natural eye lashes are gone, pulled out or cut off.  the rims of my eyes were red and swollen from the torture of 3 days.    These practices are improper and dangerous, and if I knew how to report this place I would.  For an impulse moment of stopping in, I could have lost my eyesight as this girl could have seriously damaged my eyeballs.    I love the glam look of fluttery eyelashes, but its not worth this kind of pain and suffering.    I caution anyone visiting this salon as with this level of un-professionalism and lack of skill, you are putting yourself in danger visiting here.  Like I said RUN in the opposite direction and never set foot in here if you value your health and safety.

Even though I'm under 30, I'm a sucker for an "Old Vegas" experience, and this place is IT!  The ambiance is exactly what you want in an old Vegas steakhouse: dimly lit, deep red booths, great service, wonderful menu, etc. Each lady is greeted with a beautiful red rose and the service is beyond amazing! One of my favorite parts was the table side salad preparation because you have so many options, it's like a salad bar! The cocktails are so generously pored with an overflow glass that you really only need one! You think it can't get any better until you are served your entree! Perfectly prepared!   This is a MUST for anyone who wants the classic Vegas steakhouse experience!
