...SoHo soba house Honmura An, raw shrimp “melted beneath the teeth with the lush generosity of milk chocolate.” She describes eating Sayori, an extremely rare sashimi, at Kurumazushi: “It was smooth and slick against my tongue, with a clear, transparent flavor and the taut crispness of a tart green apple.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t all soba and sushi during Reichl’s tenure at The Times...
...Beers has managed the remarkable feat of operating a 17th century economic model in a 21st century world. Fluctuations of supply and demand are not tolerated. Three floors beneath us are a series of vaults that contain the world's largest stockpile of unpolished diamonds-the best estimates put it at half a billion dollars.

Here the cultural reference points are Kim Novak, Chips Rafferty and Dame Pattie Menzies, and Roger Kemp's production design rings true right down to the box of Bex on the lino floor. But Away is more than just a nostalgic escape into the past. Beneath the Day-Glo costumes and suburban chit-chat lurks an inconsolable pain. As it transpires, Tom has terminal leukemia, and Coral is still grieving the death of her son in Vietnam. Capturing the mood of this so-called Lucky Country is Tom's grimly smiling father Harry (Daniel Murphy...
