Like Le Bernardin, Palio is also in the Equitable Center, and its kitchen is the province of the one-star Italian chef Andrea Hellrigl (a.k.a. Andrea da Merano, an honorary nom de cuisine he enjoys), who owns the Villa Mozart, a trimly polished Jugendstil-designed hotel in Merano. He stirs the pasta pots for Operator Tony May, who masterminds Palio's spacious and vaguely Japanese- looking dining rooms. So far Hellrigl's esoteric offerings have been uneven. They may be as institutionally dull as his lackluster codfish with potatoes or the watery mushroom terrine or as wonderfully executed...
...Yorkers can expect even more on their plates if the plans of other European restaurateurs pan out. Alain Senderens, formerly of the three-star Archestrate and now of Lucas-Carton in Paris, expects to open on a midtown site. In addition to the fashionable Milan favorite Da Bice, other popular Italian restaurants, such as the posh El Toula chain and the sublime San Domenico in Imola, near Bologna, are seeking locations. Not all agree that New York is the only place to be. Michael Hutchings explains why he and the Roux brothers chose Santa Barbara. "This is a cosmopolitan town...

Too often his work seems like a nostalgic recapitulation of Italian quattrocento sculpture, Desiderio da Settignano in particular. But of his power over the flat surface, there is no doubt. What we see there, in midcareer and at the height of his powers, is the greatest realist artist alive...
...film director." In fact, she is already a somewhat experienced actress, having appeared back home in five peace-promoting films. Earlier, in Houston, she visited the Johnson Space Center and participated in her first Easter-egg hunt. In Chicago she sampled the cuisine of McDonald's (French fries da, Big Mac nyet). And in Washington she toured the national monuments. The point of her 13-day visit was to bring a message of world peace to U.S. children and adults alike, so Katya was more than happy when during her White House tour she happened to bump into the nation...
