...precisely executed as it is unconventional. His ingredients are global and first-rate: Maine codfish, Spanish octopus, deepwater snapper from Japan. His dishes are modest in size yet generous in potency. Shrimp tartare is sprinkled with edible pansies and gold dust; a trifle is composed of caviar, salt cod and potato. That snapper is smoked over cherrywood and glistens with apricot oil. See www.l2orestaurant.com. (See 10 things to do in Chicago...
...best ways to see Bermuda is by bicycle - though mopeds are the preferred method of transportation here, we recommend renting a nonmotorized two-wheeler, which is a lot safer. Even better, this tiny country of 21 square miles - one-third the size of Cape Cod - has 22 miles of bike paths, on which mopeds are not allowed. The Bermuda Railway Trail follows an old rail bed and traverses the entire string of eight islands that make up the inhabited parts of Bermuda. Cyclists on the path are never out of sight of the islands' clear waters, craggy bluffs and white...
...build the turbines, and the electricity will come? Not exactly. For one thing, offshore turbines would likely be necessary in a wind-centric energy future, but local communities in coastal areas have fought against offshore, claiming the turbines spoil seaside views. (One iconic project on Massachusetts' Cape Cod, called Cape Wind, has been tied up in legal challenges for eight years.) But the greatest obstacle is economic. Though the price of power from wind has dropped in recent years, it's still more expensive than most electricity from coal or natural gas. And while Obama the candidate wanted renewables...
Sabbag was even unluckier than Ollestad, if that's possible. In 1979 - four months after Ollestad's crash - Sabbag was on an Air New England flight that went down in a trackless forest just short of the airport on Cape Cod. There was no warning. "I breathed in," he remembers, "and when I breathed out I was pulling six Gs." His back and pelvis snapped on impact. He survived - along with the co-pilot and the other seven passengers, though not the pilot - and even learned to walk again. But he never escaped a sense that his life had been...
Harmony is a kind of optimism, expressed in the belief that several voices can do a job better than one. That's partly why Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest (named after an uninhabited 16-acre island off Cape Cod, Massachusetts) is a lock to be the sunniest album of the year. All four members sing equally well, and when they weave their high, sweet voices around the others' - sometimes in brief and surprising swells, sometimes for the length of entire songs - you can actually hear their faith in one another. It's adorable. (Watch TIME's video about Grizzly Bear...
