Recommended:East 15. Homemade tofu was excellent (better than Megu I thought) and the cod special with miso and mushrooms was amazing. Nice quiet room. Started by the owners of Tocqueville, which is right next door. Next time though I want to sit at the sushi bar.
Got to hand it to this bank robber.
the other night coward fineman could not stop gushing about tim russerts skill and fearsomeness as an interviewer and that hillary was brave to submit to an hour in his presence. judge for yourself right now but dont look directly into his eyes or you may not live to comment again.

Metzgete at Trestle on Tenth
Dear friends of Trestle on Tenth
Please come and join us for our first-ever metzgete any night from Tuesday, January 15 through Sunday, January 20. It will be a special offering in addition to our full dinner menu.
So, what is a metzgete? Loosely translated as “a butcher’s affair,” it is a very traditional Swiss celebration of the pig, customarily offered at country restaurants throughout Switzerland during the cold months. The metzgete follows right on the heels of the slaughter, which happens in late fall and deep winter, and originated as a way to use every scrap of the pig--especially those parts that would or could not be dried, smoked or pickled for later consumption. Resembling the choucroute garnie of neighboring Alsace, the dish starts with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes and is then heaped with all kinds of pork.
Next week at Trestle, our version will include everything from braised belly to homemade bratwurst to liver and blood sausages, for only $24 per person (it can be served family-style for a group). We would suggest pairing the metzgete with a glass of Switzerland’s most notable white wine, Chasselas, or a bottle of artisanal Swiss beer, both of which will be available as options.
We look forward to sharing with you a true Swiss experience in a modern American setting.

Here's a comment to a Matt Yglesais post, with an excerpt from Matt's post in italics:
Overall I still say that since Clinton is stronger with the dem base, and Obama is stronger with independents, he's a better candidate in the general election since the base is going to vote for whoever the dem nominee is anyway, while the independents can easily break the other way (or just split or just stay home) if it's Clinton.
That said, all the available evidence points to there being more people with friendly feelings toward Obama than there are with friendly feelings toward Hillary.This isn't making me change my mind, but this is the first argument for Clinton vs. Obama that has made any sense at all to me. What do you guys think?
OTOH, there are greater limits to the grossest ways in which the Republican candidates can dog whistle on HRC than on Obama. Republicans weren't going to get the black vote anyway. The main reason to seem friendly to black voters is to reassure white female voters (or so I think Rove said). But attacking HRC on dog whistle gender grounds seems at least as likely to cost Republicans those white women voters, whom they currently win by (I think) 10%, as attacking Obama on race-related dog whistle grounds. Even K-Lo gets irritated by some of the gender related HRC-bashing, and occassionally gets frustrated by the lack of Republican female politicians.
I don't think the issue is as clear cut as you're making it out to be.

Pretty funny I think. And as an early iPhone buyer (pre-cost reduction) I can relate:
