...Cheesy! If you're feeling peckish in Midtown Manhattan you might try wandering into the IMB Building's atrium at East 56th Street and Madison Avenue to nosh on a mozzarella tasting menu.

Then, we carefully mixed our chosen mortar, combining powdered sugar with water to concoct a glue that would hold for the ages?...

...sizable, so tense and tangy, it was almost erotic. Think of it: a big new movie from an Oscar-winning quartet - star Tom Hanks, director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. Yet nearly as soon as The Da Vinci Code began, the critics fell into a peckish mood. At the end of a long, soggy film, the black-tie swells went off to their parties, and the critics slumped away to write their regretful pans.
