...GIGOT 18 Cornelia Street (212-627-3737). This pleasant bistro recalls the Greenwich Village of the 1950s. Proprietor Pamela Decaire's staff is friendly, and the simple decor is an American's idea of what a French bistro should look like, including a Dubonnet poster and caricatures of chefs at work. Le Gigot is the place to bring the business associate who craves informality...

...sister's house. "The firehouse is my therapy." Unfortunately, he couldn't take his usual refuge there. The attention heaped on him was beginning to grate on some of his colleagues. They joked about his newfound celebrity, dubbing him "Worldwide," but privately grimaced that he had become the poster child for the attacks. What little press Mike did came to no good: his fans sent checks, but they were made out to the wrong place--the department's general charity fund, not the special nonprofit the firehouse had for its widows...
