Been to Nik and Steph's and it is exactly that way. Loop's knack for descriptions are remarkable.

Today I came back from the gym and went to Erewhon near the CBS building on Beverly. Erewhon is a healthy grocery store with the largest selection of raw items, but honestly, everything else can be found at Whole Fods or Trader Joes for MUCH cheaper. Erewhon has the bar in the middle of the store where you tell the the 'bartender' your ailment and he mixes you a tonic tea or juice. I had a swig of wheatgrass for no reason and picked myself up a Thai curry made from nori seaweed, cashew nut flour, shredded carrots, coconut and curry. Then I walked down Fairfax and thrift shopped.
