I love the restaurants in Ctown and there are several others that don't get the foot traffic. My theory is the interiors, which make it look more upscale than it is.<BR/><BR/>Hey Fish!<BR/>How funny that the Brits have more entanglements? I'd rather know less than more about people's sex lives. Geesh.<BR/><BR/>Hi Ha Ha!<BR/>I feel badly for Spitzer, too. I mean, who can take him seriously now? Except the guy is loaded. He doesn't have to worry much.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-21568262149410705152008-03-12T15:23:00.000-04:002008-03-12T15:23:00.000-04:00I kind of feel badly for Spitzer.

But he made so many enemies by being an effective reformer that a lot of people seem to be gloating right now.Ha Ha Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545196323391055102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-10825198500402947312008-03-12T12:48:00.000-04:002008-03-12T12:48:00.000-04:00Today's news, tomorrow's chip paper so the saying ...Today's news, tomorrow's chip paper so the saying goes in Britain, where we are so used to our Tory politicians being embroiled in sex scandals that this one seems tame in comparison.<BR/><BR/>I do hate the fact that they always wheel out the poor wife. I find that very low.<BR/><BR/>I.M.

You can get a similar meal in Chinatown for 75% the cost.<BR/>Yeah, I don't think Spitzer can recover from this one. How humiliating for all involved.<BR/><BR/>Hi Fredrik!<BR/>I'm not too savvy on the political front. This may stir up speculation about sex and politics in general, which is a touchy subject in the Clinton camp.<BR/><BR/>I can see how Hillary might want to have her own last name at this point!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-72207763903545100642008-03-12T09:53:00.000-04:002008-03-12T09:53:00.000-04:00Nice photo!

The analysts mean that this scandal, not only will hurt Spitzer, but also Hillary Clinton, since they are close. What do you think?<BR/>Also, thanks for your comment. Yes, we are surrounded by an amazing landscape here. They often compare this region with Provence in France or Tuscany in Italy.Fredrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116211754147379438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-44939712305939281822008-03-12T09:18:00.000-04:002008-03-12T09:18:00.000-04:00Ooooo, I love Ollie's, especially the scallion pan...Ooooo, I love Ollie's, especially the scallion pancakes (which have been voted the best in the city in years past). I usually end up at this one, but the one on the UWS and the theatre district are fun too.<BR/><BR/>The news about Spitzer . . . so depressing, but ultimately not surprising given the propensity of politicians to unzip their pants.<BR/><BR/>"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."BrianChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474333393989390643noreply@blogger.com
