...Camorra crime family, there are no good guys, no crusading cops, no mama pleading with her son to stay out of the rackets. There's also no Mr. Big, Dr. No or Don Corleone stroking a house cat and intoning gritty or pearly aphorisms. The movie stays at street level, showing the lower- and middle-rung employees enmeshed in a system they can't escape, the perps or victims of murders dispatched with neither mercy nor regret.

The former Pennsylvania resident got his first taste of Boston politics while working with the Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC) in 2002, helping restore a parcel...
Just moments away, there's the Hudson River Café (www.hudsonrivercafe.com). The split-level boite, set into a converted mechanic's shop right under the West Side Highway, serves up a "new American" menu heavy on comfort food: grilled pork chops, lobster quesadillas, Kobe-beef burgers. And to wash it all down, a selection of Harlem-inspired cocktails such as the Harlem Spice - a mix of tequila, fresh lime, fresh orange and jalapeño. (See pictures of New York City...
