In an unexpected turn, the grumpy waiters—probably of this disposition as a result of the hordes upon hordes of underage boys in matching ties—will surely remind a wistful francophile of Paris’ famously unfriendly garçons. All three groups, however, will achieve common understanding upon receiving their check: the prices at Daedalus would be more at home in the booming economies of the Old Country than in the mortgage crisis-crippled markets of the States.WagamamaFor those who traveled to the Continent, it might seem that...

This move would be a death knell to the great tradition of reporting which has led to such famous figures such as Walter Cronkite and Edward Murrow.
