...used to be said that Hollywood was the art of the deal. Now Hollywood is the biz of the buzz. Buzz is the murmur that precedes a film's release; it usually starts in a studio's publicity department. But good buzz can turn bad when outsiders see the film and start dishing.

...from Kendall, Salts is an intimate bistro featuring unusual fare. The menu changes seasonally, but its influences range from regional American to Eastern European. The small room seats forty-five, and is walled by light-washed still lifes. Strains of light jazz can be heard floating above the murmur of voices.
