...many elements of the undergraduate experience coalesce within the confines of the archetypal coffee shop: caffeine-addled study sessions, flirtatious glances over sourcebooks, heated yet meaningless discussions of self-important pseudo-intellectuals. The ideal collegiate coffee shop sells more than lemon cakes and Ecuadorian brews: in its role as an informal campus meet-n-greet...
...idea of the triumph of one people being the tragedy of another is eloquently captured in Sandy Tolan's book, The Lemon Tree - essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the difficulty in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Tolan chronicles the true story of Dalia Eshkenazi, whose family flees post-Holocaust Bulgaria in 1948 to live the Zionist dream of building a Jewish state in the Holy Land. The new Israeli government provides them with an abandoned Arab house in the town of Ramla, in which she grows up. One summer morning in 1967, she's sitting in the garden...
Tina Fey, formerly of Saturday Night Live, is in the midst of a major career change, one that has taken her from a late-night writers' room to, um, a late-night writers' room.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned that bread smeared with spiced lard can be wholesome. And so can potatoes. Poles enjoy those simple carbs in hearty servings and still live long, happy lives. Markets...
...risd alum Bruce Tillinghast, who says he "uses elements of food like elements of color, making them work together." The flavors change seasonally, but the virtuosity of his combinations don't; recently, his airy gnocchi came with spinach, goat's cheese and pomegranate. Save room for the lemon tartlet, a flaky nest of buttery semi-puff pastry filled with a sunburst of tangy curd. New Rivers is unpretentious and unfussy - just like its city. Providence, says Tillinghast, "has a certain friendliness and charm and all the wonderful little things you find in a big town." All the things that...
