Klimt - Neue Gallery - New York 2006-10-16 18:30:30 http://www.neuegalerie.org/enter.html - the place is often closed or filled with busloads of tour groups. Cafe Sabarsky on the 1st floor is a must, but pick the hours carefully. There is often a bigger line to get into the cafe, than into the museum. If you come during rain, the gallery staff will politely ask you to check your umbrella and you will be standing in line coming and going. The gallery does not welcome children under 16. Still, if you have a spare hour it is always worth a visit.

Frelinghuysen MorrisHouse
& Studio - Recommended
A Bauhaus estate in the woods right outside Lenox
, MA. Very close to Tanglewood. Lots of hidden art gems - paintings by Picasso and Morris and his super-talented wife. Open in the summer. Highly recommended. It is the “Free Prize Inside” (even though there is cost to admission) when one visits Lenox.

Restaurant Review: Wolseley, London 2007-05-19 02:38:27 Over several recent visits to London, Wolseley (160 Piccadilly) has become our favorite place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, drinks, dinner, and really late dinner. Wolseley transformed an old bank space on a busy Piccadilly corner in Mayfair into a luxurious Viennese-style eatery with excellent food, matching wine list, exquisite desserts and outstanding coffee. It is expensive, even by London standards, yet the only thing that one will remember from a visit is the food, the stimulating people scene and the festive feeling of being transported into a modern, luxurious gastronomic equivalent of the Orient Express. Highly Recommended. ****

Film Review:Valet 2007-05-20 11:55:21 A short funny bon-bon of a movie. It is pure, humorous entertainment with predictable story lines and stereotyped characters, but one that will surely please. **

Restaurant Review: Mischi’s - Miami 2007-05-20 11:39:16 Mischi’s is our favorite dining establishment in Miami
. it is one of a few places we have visited in Miami that has toned down the superficial glitz and insane unsubstantiated pricing that characterizes so many restaurants in South Beach and turned up an outstanding innovative menu and wine list. Recommended ****

Restaurant Review: La Goulue - Bal Harbor, FL 2007-05-20 11:34:19 Great place for an outdoor lunch and for people watching. La Goulue has decent food and good selection of wines and champagnes, but it is hardly a gastronomic destination. Yet, as you are washing down your steak tartar or burger with a glass of chablis or champagne and observing the clientele taking a rest from a hard afternoon of designer shopping, culinary excellence is not what comes to mind. Recommended. ***

Airline Notes: American Airlines Transatlantic - Fly Virgin Instead 2007-11-14 09:57:27 We have taken several trips on AA across the Atlantic, both in business and coach classes. Food and service continue to be underwhelming and disapointing. The staff attitude ranges from angry to arrogant. On a recent flight from London to New York, a flight attendant explained why AA charges extra for everything such as the little wine bottles: “every little bit helps!” Hard to imagine that AA would make their earnings based on wine sales and if they did it would reflect poorly on board and management. When we pointed out that other, mostly international airlines such as Virgin
do not nickel and dime their passengers on long-haul flights, the response was a new low in airlines arrogance and here we quote the AA flight attendant: “Lately our flights have been so full that we do not really care…”. This is just a short sample of various AA “infractions”. Other include, for example, refusing to move a business class passenger with a full fair tic Read more:Airline
