...development wreaked more havoc on Eminem's hateability than all the rest: amazingly, someone coarsened the culture without him. As Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen advanced the art of provocation, broadening it from Eminem's preferred taboos of sex and class to the mocking of all Americans (by a foreigner, no less) for being naive enough to believe their own mythology. Baron Cohen was darker, funnier and way more misanthropic than Eminem - which is how it goes with cultural instigators.

To commemorate the hotel's founding, the chef is re-introducing the first dishes served in the dining room, like codfish cakes, German potato pancakes, and cinnamon-raisin bread pudding. With its old-fashioned sitting room, complete with fireplace and comfy reading chairs (and no TVs blaring to disrupt your reverie), the hotel is famous...
...Resort Hotel, located right on the banks of Lake Otsego is celebrating its 100th season. Like Mohonk, the resort is serving up special dishes from its 1909 menu, including rack of lamb Monte Carlo with Parisian potatoes. The hotel is right in town, within walking distance of the Fenimore Art Museum (the current exhibit features American artists' impressions of Rome at the turn of the century) and the Farmers' Museum, a living museum and ode to farming, with maple syrup-making and butter-churning demonstrations and a blacksmith shop. A special anniversary package starts at $299, breakfast included, through June...
