  1. Are we being invited to comment on the picture in the Food & Drink Roundup???

    Did you know that in about 200 years or so there will be no more true redheads born? Not that I care.

  2. Hey, question for you all…I am trying to find a hotel for my b-day…I want to be out of the city for the weekend but not too far (say westchester area or something like that). I’m having trouble finding a hotel with a nice room/suite that has a jacuzzi tub in the room (my must have), a balcony would also be nice (negotiable), wifi access in the rooms (must have), room service (must have). Anyone know of anything? I’d also like to be able to get a smoking room but I realize that most hotels now are 100% smoke free so I can bend on that one.

  3. cobble- I’ve posted the horror story of finding a place in BH when I was in a biracial marriage. Brokers can be real jerks (oh, well- so can tenants but I digress) and sometimes I think they believe intimidating a tenant is the only way to get a good tenant.

  4. “Does Starbucks still make its employees go through coffee college or whatever?”

    Yeah – it was a whole week’s worth of paid training. lots of reading about the company’s motto. stressing of being overly nice to everyone (definitely don’t get that fake chipper demanor at any manhattan starbucks)

    there was a lot of tasting of coffee (black of course) – i can still differentiate which part of the world a coffee comes from by it’s taste, acidity etc.
