Harvard students are like dogs, especially during reading period. Not only do they refuse to bathe and eat anything they can get their hands on, but they also do disgusting things to mark their territory. Walk into Lamont on any given weekday, and you’re going to have a hard time finding a seat. You’ll scour the first floor, hope for an open carrel, but walk the length of the room to no avail. Then you see it, the mark of a Harvard hound: a North Face jacket draped casually over the back...
...Unfortunately, in this astronomically expensive and quite residential quartier, baguette sandwiches with camembert or jambon simply do not abound.After an inordinate number of blocks, I could sense the blisters begin to burgeon on my heels. There I was in the City of Lights, which I had always planned to eat my way through, without a boulangerie, patisserie, or marché in sight. But I quickly forgot why I ever believed such joints were necessary when I discovered Mecca itself: La Maison du Chocolat.

...chummy pats on the back when Obama turned the country blue. A man in Morocco even did me the courtesy of reciting the first minute of one of Obama’s primary victory speeches when he found out I was American (he may have also wanted us to eat dinner at his stall).But here and now, neither the news nor the “prevailing opinion” are any matter.

One of the city's favorite new places is the year-old Supper (www.supperphilly.com), where transplanted New Yorker Mitch Prensky offers up a menu featuring broccoli tastier than any kid could imagine (it's frittered with parmesan and bacon) and a luxurious financier pastry spiked with bourbon. The slow-roasted pork belly - served with spiced yams, pineapple mustard and greens - is a best seller. "Traditional, but re-imagined," Prensky says of the dish. "There...
...unable to distinguish joy from fear. My 11-year-old sister laughs as she imagines how people all over the world watch the horrific events taking place in the Gaza Strip. "It's like we are in a scary movie. I'm sure people eat popcorn as they watch," she says. My 12- and 14-year-old brothers act out scenes from our reality while quoting Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, their favorite video game, and we laugh hysterically at their performance. Moments later we tense up at the sound of a violent, earthquake-like explosion close...
