...each other,” she says. It is this kind of philosophy that has guided her efforts to build community. Sandra L. Di Capua ’07, who has had Shabbat dinner with Cohen almost every Friday night during their time at Harvard, recalls a particular meal when her friend introduced herself to 50 or 60 people at dinner and evoked laughs. “Here was this Friday night Jewish dinner and she was comparing it to a Ghanaian feast, bringing the world together in a sense.” Cohen’s involvement in HASA...
...Shinobu's crowded kitchen, we prepare tuna sushi cake, tofu, a carrot and radish soup and a vinaigrette salad. As we sit on the tatami mat, sipping plum wine and eating from each bowl in turn, the kimono-clad 60-year-old explains what makes a proper Japanese meal. "It's about the balance of nutrition," she says. "We need to have fish, vegetables, soup at every meal - and of course rice." Shinobu's meal is scrumptious, but when I compliment her, she demurs.

Part café, part restaurant, part library, this is the kind of enigmatic, open-all-day place Paris does so wonderfully well. I've had every type of meal there: breakfasts of croissants, orange juice and piping-hot fresh coffee; lunchtime feasts of moules marinières and chips washed down with Puligny-Montrachet; afternoon tea while reading English newspapers; and sumptuous four-course dinners upstairs in the cozy main dining room.
