Noren. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently opened Noren moves through familiar territory—cold plates, tempura, robata, sushi, and an inevitable section devoted to wagyu (this is Dubai, after all)—while adding enough sharper details to keep the experience from feeling entirely predictable.However, I’ll be upfront: should you dine here, the experience at Noren will feel like Zuma. And you know how I know this? Because the proprietor will tell you (multiple times) that the team worked at Zuma for well over a decade. And there’s not

Read excerpt
It’s hard to believe it, but 19 years ago, we made our way to the UAE (from Los Angeles to Atlanta and then Dubai). September 2007 seems like forever ago, but I’m so proud of all we’ve accomplished. After 19 years of living in the region, it’s fair to say we’ve seen quite a few changes (not including job changes, moving countries, and adopting Poppy).

G’mar chatima tova.For the most part, a heads-down, get-work-done kind of week (no complaints). For everyone involved with ATM — well done, you made it! On Wednesday night, I went out to the new JLT hotspot, Noren. In addition to fab food and vibes

The Stanley HouseHere’s one thing I like about the States: the prices. In this case, a round trip from my parents’ house to Marietta via Uber (to visit Spring) cost almost exactly the same as a stay in town (USD$150, not including taxes). Not wanting to stay in a chain hotel and with no truly close boutique hotel available, we chose the antebellum-style Stanley House. Upon arrival, the property acts much like an Airbnb. The front door and our suite door have entry codes. Overall, the Stanley Hou
