...takes its name from the 19th century water-purification plant and ice factory in which it's housed. Today, the structure has been given new life by famed Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta. He has transformed the building into a 26-room aerie, installing a wide stone staircase in its triplex al fresco lobby, along with a rooftop pool offering pristine views of nearby colonial gems (among them the 16th century Church of St. Francis...
...spiritual man (he practices feng shui and follows the teachings of philosopher Eric Butterworth). You won't see him taking a bow on the runway or featuring his homes in magazines (although he could: he recently bought News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch's 9,300-sq.-ft.

...must be so busy raising money for famine relief in Africa that he lacks the time and inclination to drag a blade across his jaw.

Thanks to the splotchy picture produced by the thermal imaging device, the cops were able to get a search warrant, go into Kyllo's home and find that he was growing about 100 marijuana plants in a room above the garage, under high-intensity lamps. In previous decisions dealing with this technology, courts...
RESTAURANTS: Cafe Santropol, located in a cozy triplex on St. Urbain, is a community staple. 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. Importantly, Santropol serves the world's most stylish milkshakes. Nearby, EI Zazzium on Roy Street is a small restaurant that serves up huge platters of guacamole and pitchers of fresh sangria. It is bedecked in layer upon layer of bizarre and flashy decor, including huge fish nets, colorful animal mobiles and lots of toilet...
