...shop be (boulangerie-épicerie) makes a mouthwatering gourmet picnic box featuring vitello tonnato (cold, thinly sliced veal with fresh tuna and sauce on toasted bread), Mediterranean pasta salad, salt-and-pepper potato chips and a chocolate lollipop. At €30 it's a steal when compared to a sit-down dinner in one of his three-star restaurants. The truly hedonistic can opt for Le Cube from Petrossian, a three-tiered translucent picnic box that includes 20 g of caviar, "Maviar" tarama (a creamy spread made with the eggs of smoked cod), smoked salmon with artichokes and a fruit...
...that joyful sense of release. Tourists flock to the rock gardens of Ryoanji; I found my Zen behind a great sushi restaurant, against a stunning 12th floor view of southern Kyoto, amidst the hustle and bustle of an underground Starbucks. I refer, of course, to the delights of the sit-down toilet. Only after stumbling every morning to a porcelain bowl in the floor can you understand the genius of Western plumbing.

Dinnertime talk can also reveal emotional issues that might underlie overeating. If you can't do it every night, aim for three or four family dinners a week. Satter stresses that even snacks should be "structured, sit-down [meals] served at set times" with no grazing in between...
Despite the disappointing absence of jammies, the atmosphere at The Living Room, located on Atlantic Ave. near the Aquarium, was cozy. We were given the choice of two eating areas, the bar area and the sit-down restaurant room, but stiff dining room chairs just aren’t appealing that early in the morning. We opted for the roomy bar area, where six or seven comfy couches and a number of easy chairs bask in streams of natural light. A big screen television in the corner projects the latest CNBC headlines. Across the room are two empty bars with...
