...scheduled a visit until the last day of the trip. With typical early spring break optimism, I thought my column would be long finished before then.The soy fish, pork soup, and tofu I had the first lunch were good, the pumpkin flan was interesting, and the display case full of rice marked “Lice” was touchingly Lost in Translation. Everything was distinctly Japanese, but nothing other than my having eaten it all in the same city made it coalesce into a single story. The rice balls for breakfast, the chicken and egg dish called Oyako Donburi...

On the other hand, that evening's show of Ferragamo's 2008 fall/winter collection was a stunning triumph. It started an appalling hour and half late, but once it was underway the brand's design team deftly demonstrated the remarkable evolution of its wares in recent years. Models sported modernist, layered basics in somber tones of black, white, navy...
...area remains uninhabited; more than 160,000 New Orleans evacuees never came home. Many of the affected areas were among the city’s poorest, and for many former residents, it is simply not worth the cost to return.
