Mobile Menu. Feed your pumpkin-pie sugar high at the Dessert Truck, parked in New York City's Midtown. The truck's famous bread pudding and dark chocolate mousse bombe are cooked up by former Le Cirque pastry sous chef Jerome Chang. It's high-end food at street-level prices, the new recession-era way to eat. The Dessert Truck is parked on Park Avenue, between 51st and 53rd Streets on weekdays from noon to 4 p.m.; at night, from 6 p.m. to midnight, it's at Third Avenue and 8th Street...
...molecular technique poised to hit home kitchens is sous vide, in which meat is vacuum-sealed and poached at a very low temperature, producing supermoist and flavorful dishes. In December, Thomas Keller, who has two three-star restaurants, will publish Under Pressure (Artisan; $75), which offers sous vide recipes just as a slew of home sous vide equipment hits store shelves. The future is almost here. Start making counter space for the antigriddle...
...Meetic, the cyber chestnuts are always in blossom, and love is as much a game as a goal. In 2005, a French cad named Lewis Wingrove published a blog and later a book graphically cataloguing a year's worth of Meetic conquests (52 dates, 27 of which finished "sous la couette" - under the quilt.)

Doctor Stephane Saint-Leger, head of the Children and Women's Ward at the Robert Ballanger Hospital in the ethnically diverse Paris suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois, agrees the social and sexual differences between young Muslim and non-Muslim women in France are shrinking - including a trend of marrying later in life. That trend has generally reduced the likelihood of women of any faith marrying as virgins. But Saint-Leger says the pressure and intimidation evoked by the Muslim women who come to him for help as their traditional weddings...
...Urban - and chauffeured - versions of these tours are available in Paris with 4 Roues Sous 1 Parapluie (www.4roues-sous-1parapluie.com). The wry name - "Four Wheels Beneath an Umbrella" - recalls the brief given to the original 2CV designers, which was to create a cheap car for the masses. Tours include hotel pick-up, and take in the French capital's major sights as well as lesser-known attractions such as the Cité Fleurie - a 19th century artists' quarter. There are also romantic night tours that are especially popular with couples. But do remember to whisper in your partner's ear when...
