"Skip the big box hardware chains and go here: an honest-to-God hardware store filled with excellent products, great staff and free buttered popcorn near the cash registers."

"Delicious deli sandwiches, decent wine selection, even a few fruits and vegetables for us adults in the hood who actually cook meals and need an emergency onion from time to time."

"No free Internet- 10 euros a day, and requires calling the service to reactivate every time you get disconnected. Also the maids yell in the hallway in the morning- no thanks."

"If you love watching old men flirt with prostitutes, you'll really love Empire."

"If you love bridges and tunnels, you'll love Empire"

"If you're from Saugus, you'll love Empire."
