...unclear. An employee at Dado Tea, which abuts the now-vacant lot, claims the place closed due to “bad location of the restaurant, since it is so far back,” nestled awkwardly up a ramp between an artsy tea shop and a staid office complex. In contrast, says the Dado barista, “we do well, and Fire & Ice does well.” However, Phatt Boys’ closing was not simply a result of its unfortunate location. Theodore E. Chestnut ’06, a Senior Class Marshall, says...
...hop’s historical relevance, especially given the involvement of the canonical American museum. Unsurprisingly, some of the most enterprising attempts to intellectualize hip-hop have been made by its own practitioners, not by tenured professors.

"Cute and mad, cute and scary are interesting." At Kidrobot's three boutiques, the toys range...

Nicki (Chlo Sevigny), Roman's daughter, chafes at being No. 2 to "boss lady" Barb and nurses a shopping addiction. Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) is the young, insecure baby of the trio. The patriarchal setup will unsettle some viewers, as it did the actresses. "It felt like we were shooting a period piece," says Tripplehorn, "like something out of the '50s." Yet each woman has thought-out reasons why polygamy works for her, and their...
