...published reservation line, but the not-so-obvious entrance is right out of Get Smart. Inside a hot-dog restaurant in the East Village, patrons squeeze into a vintage phone booth and pick up the receiver. The host on the other end opens a secret panel to allow entry to the bar. Classic cocktails are served by James Meehan, one of New York's top bartenders. pdtnyc.com...
...Airlines have more than enough reasons to follow suit. Jet fuel costs have gone up 38% since spring 2006. Airline profit margins, which used to range between 5% and 7%, are now down to 2%. Merging with another carrier would allow an airline to reevaluate its hubs, reduce overlap in routes, perhaps even cut back on regional flying and decrease capacity in the industry overall. But there are always obstacles. "The two speed bumps to anything are always regulatory issues and labor issues," says Swelbar.

...That might be a blessing in the early scenes, which have as much peeing and belching as a PG-13 rating will allow, and where the strangely Shrekish-looking Hrothgar staggers about drunkenly in a toga that is ever in danger of slipping off his mammoth body.

Florentino endlessly awaits the death of Fermina’s husband (Benjamin Bratt): only then will he allow himself to re-woo his unrequited love. In typical García Márquez style, Newell’s adaptation of “Cholera” assaults the senses with exotic pleasures. Much of the film’s beautiful footage was shot in South America?...
...substance of the topics that Penn covers in the book are novel enough to recount as asides over dinner, substantial amounts of information that he provides are lost in a quagmire of numbers. The book, which should instead have been christened “75 Groups of People that Allow Me to Wax Statistics for 300+ Pages,” is a collection of figures from every place imaginable. The numbers come from a variety of random places, including a Time Magazine article on Myspace vixen Tila Tequila to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology on attitudes...
