Washington Heights restaurant celebrates its "A"...
I stopped into Sushi Yu 2 on West 181st Street yesterday for the first time in many months, and for the first time since the restaurant earned an “A” from the New York City Health Department on September 1. Because I was only getting a quick snack, this isn’t a full review, but I was interested at the staff member’s response when I congratulated her for the “A”...

Healthy buzz: Two hospitals sue two newspapers.... →
cornstein: Perhaps this happens all the time but it strikes me as odd. In the past two days, there have been two stories about hospitals suing newspapers. The first: St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth and its CEO sued the Duluth News Tribune and its reporters, “accusing the newspaper of defamation in its…

Anderson Cooper comments about his mother - Gloria... →
I have to admit that I am a fan of Anderson Cooper, who is unquestionably one of the best journalists on television right now. His new daytime show — so far — seems to be a notch above the usual daytime dribble. And I give him credit for going right to a celebrity “gossip” story that hits close to, or at, his own home.

wineandfoodworld: This is a work-in-progress but I decided it’s time to get this going seriously, so I’ve created a Google Map that combines both the general listings from Google and added my comments for the places that I have checked-out.

Mall of America visitors unknowingly end up in... →
In addition to giving me another good reason not to visit the Mall of America, I think all Americans should read this and ask themselves, “Is this the America that we believe in?” Kind of ironic that this kind of intrusive surveillance is happening at a place called the “Mall of America,” too. Says a lot about what has happened to our country as fear dominates logic in...

Sounds like some small-minded people in Texas made a couple of mistakes, but it also sounds like the school’s principal at least attempted to do right - to the extent possible after-the-fact. What are your thoughts?
