Brian Friedman '00 laments that "it's easier to adopt a small child than to have a party here [in the Currier 10-man suite]. There are all these forms we have to fill out, and the tutors are always around...they always shut it down right at 1 a.m." According to senior Mike Bush '99, however, careful preparation and planning are worthwhile because they result in respectful treatment from administrators. "The administrators are pretty cool about it," he says, "if you're good about being organized and follow all the rules." Bush stresses that the House spirit...
RESTAURANTS: The ubiquitous "Pret a Manger" sandwich, pastry and coffee shops are the mainstay of budget Londoners. The bread is always fresh, and the combinations of food are creative, including salmon and chive sandwiches and small, boxed desserts. The best pastries in town are at DeBaer's, a Belgian patisserie on tiny William Street just off the busy Knightsbridge shopping street, where the almond croissants are tastier than in Brussels or Paris.

Smiling patrons linger for hours amidst huge papier-mâché fruits and munch on enormous sandwiches filled with concoctions of buckwheat, chocolate, walnuts, pineapple, vegetarian pate, lobster and cheeses.

For dessert, head down to the elegant...

Wearing all that wool, how could they be expected to exploit workers? Settling temporarily in northern Florida, Flagler and Co. moved farther south, eventually stumbling upon the small Barrier Island of Palm Beach. One hundred years later the island of Palm Beach is still where the mega-rich go to escape the grind of winter life in East Egg. Easily bored, they have gone out of their way to cram as much bacchanalian debauchery into one island as possible...
RESTAURANTS: At chi-chi Amici, a small Italian restaurant, reservations are pretty much a must. In addition to an above average Italian meal your $100 will probably get you some star gazing as well. Visiting stars such as Leo and Jacko have sat down there to enjoy the duck. To eat anything that won't require taking out a second and third mortgage, try trekking over the bridge to West Palm Beach, where affordable fare is the norm. Eateries on Clematis Street, the heart of downtown, embellish standard TGI Friday's fare with sundried tomatoes, raspberries or both...
