...effort to keep pace with the competition, Peter Jones recently opened The Top Floor, a sleek, fully licensed café with seating for 270 and an espresso bar overlooking Belgravia. Joe Teixeira, head of catering, says the new venue caters not just to the ladies who lunch and their offspring, but a whole new market. "We get the stylish shopper eating here too," says Teixeira, adding that a second restaurant with a café-society theme opens next year. "The store is modernizing its retail and it made good business sense to do the same with the food." In March...
...beer chaser after your bath, there's the Hanezawa Beer Garden in Hiroo. Built on an old estate, the torch-lit outdoor bar is the ideal place to sit and sip an ice-cold brew under the stars.

Now, in Minority Report, it's 2054, and the future is more recognizable: tomorrow, only more so. Copies of USA Today flash instant headlines as readers hold them. Cars race down vertical freeways on the facades of mile-high office buildings. On a Washington skid row, eyeless bums peddle the newest nose candy...
...Boeing 767 jumbo jet is fresh off the shop floor, a sleek $138 million model made to order for Continental Airlines. But its pilot on this test drive is a little rusty and nervously wipes a hand on his khakis as he glides in to land on runway 14L at the Moses Lake test facility southeast of Seattle. With the plane just 200 ft. off the ground, a crosswind hits, and the co-pilot warns, in that dead-calm tone they all seem to learn, "You're on the left side of the runway." The pilot slides the plane back...
