...name of Vitter, a Republican, as a client of Palfrey's escort servie - Pamela Martin & Associates - the last time he saw Palfrey in person was less than week before her conviction on prostitution charges on April 15. "A friend and I met with Jeanne and we had a sushi lunch near the courtroom," he said. "She was upbeat and hopeful. She felt the prosecution had not made the case and that she was going to walk. She was hopeful to the end." But, when the jury came in with her conviction, she reportedly was taken aback. "When I heard that...
This thought was not entirely revelatory. My friends had long been subjected to lengthy descriptions of the restaurants I would some day open. They had heard the amateur, now discarded plans of my initial dreaming: the sushi bar built over a tank of live fish (how postmodern!); the dumpling restaurant with a twist, where mac and cheese or duck l’orange would be served up in crisp wonton wrappers or savory shumai shells (titled, for its brief reign in theoretical existence, “Dim Sumthing Else”).

The mayor's office reviewed 560 investment projects last year alone. Since...
...ever tasted before. The tuna for once wasn’t mealy, the sea urchin was creamy and the salmon practically melted the second it hit my mouth. Yet it tasted instantly familiar, even faintly reminiscent of even dear sweet Takemura, the Square’s best attempt at sushi. Perhaps this simultaneous familiarity and singularity was exactly why the dish was so good. Like Green Tea Kit Kat or a modern building with ancient design elements, fusing the old with the new is unparalleled when done right.
