Though Frank has aged a little in the nearly half a century that Cardullo's has been around, the store hasn't. It still caters to its loyal Harvard Square customers, selling cups of orange ginger mint tea and Godiva chocolate creme coffee...
...cast personifies four adaptations to a harsh dating scene--detachment (inquisitive Carrie), aggression (lusty Samantha), caution (timid Charlotte) and neurosis (tense Miranda, played by Cynthia Nixon with a smile as brittle and quivery as the crust on a creme brulee). They're looking for not just love but also victory, over male entitlement, over a culture that despises older single women and over myths they can't compete with. In a pointed scene, the four watch a video in which a woman climaxes two seconds into a sex scene. "No wonder men are so lost," Miranda says. "They have...
Christina's offers a Cambridge original: Burnt Sugar ice cream, a flavor developed by a Lesley college professor who came here from Cambridge, England.

On the eve of Jackie's comeback concert, an oily host (Tim Curry) takes us through her disastrous career: her one hit single, her flop blaxploitation movie (Whipped Creme).

As Jackie, Jenifer Lewis purrs, snaps and belts--the complete funny lady in a roguishly funny film...

Sauteed spinach counteracts the succulent sweetness of the meat, and the slightly viscous sauce lends itself perfectly to the thick slices of flour-dusted farm bread. Desserts include a rich, dense chocolate cake, sorbet, creme caramel and the old-standby, tiramisu. Creme caramel is almost, but not quite, too sweet, bathed in a delicate sauce of caramelized sugar. Tiramisu is traditional, favoring the rum-soaked ladyfingers over the sometimes overbearing mascarpone cream. Dinner for two, including wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert, rings...
