Perhaps the greatest symbol of the end of the supermodel is the Fashion Cafe, the glitzy restaurant chain started to much fanfare in 1995 by celebrity part-owners Schiffer, Macpherson and Campbell--and now teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Turlington, who later joined the venture, left the cafe last year, and the menu at the Rockefeller Center location can't even spell the name of one of its co-owners correctly, offering "Noami's Fish & Chips...
...resident chef of Cafe Japonaise has a point. A soy bath drowns out the nutty taste of more delicate fish like suzuki (sea bass) or yellowtail. Crab sticks ($3) are supported by thin strips of cucumber and held together by a ribbon of seaweed on top of a gently formed and richly textured ball of rice. Velvety tuna is pounded into the texture of tartar and mixed with scallions in the Tuna and Scallion Roll ($4.50). Iridescent slabs of yellowtail arrive on a platter ($16.50) with translucent pink tuna slices, striated salmon, and a seaweed purse brimming with giant...
...desolate location on Commonwealth Ave. has obviously taken its toll on the restaurant, however. It is nearly empty (admittedly Sunday nights are never the most bustling) and the lights are turned up just a tad too bright.

Inman Square has perhaps the best variety per square foot in the Boston area. A progressive dinner offers the easiest immersion in Inman's culinary culture. Starting with oysters on the half-shell ($8 to 12) at East Coast Grill, a great next step is to move on to a noodle dish ($9 to 13) at Cafe China. An entree ($12 to 20) at Magnolia...
...waitstaff insure it. The Square prides itself on being free of national chains such as Starbucks. The truth is 1369 isn't much different form your local Starbucks, except that the prices are a bit cheaper (coffee $1, pot of tea $1.40). An "alternative" to 1369 is City Girl Cafe, which offers light meals for reasonable prices (entrees...
