  3. No clouds, no sun for Pat DiNizio and the Smithereens

    Pat DiNizio likes things real. He buys his music from Vintage Vinyl in Fords, N.J. He buys his meat from John's, a family-owned butcher in Scotch Plains. He likes the "ritual" walk from his Lower East Side apartment at Seventh and A to the nearby rehearsal studio Tu Casa. He drinks next door at Manitoba's, owned by the Dictators' Handsome Dick Manitoba. DiNizio likes to see, feel, smell, touch and hear for himself.

  4. Diane Farr: Visiting home without phoning home

    Humor Hotel
    My birthplace is New York City, which might seem a very anonymous place. Yet, after moving away, the first time I "snuck" back to my hometown -- without telling my family -- I was convinced I would get caught. I worried both in California, where I live...

  5. Using images to change history

    The civil rights movement was full of dynamic and evocative images. Today, even many of us born after its iconic moments were captured on film can describe Martin Luther King Jr.'s outstretched arm pointing a sea of people toward a future decades beyond...

  6. The Best of "Kosher Style" in Connecticut

    Katz's Delicatessen, on Manhattan's East Houston Street, is the most nostalgic of New York's Jewish delis and a destination for food tourists and American Jews searching for their roots. Jared Goldstein of <a href="http://www.jaredthenyctourguide.com">jaredthenyctourguide.com</a> puts Katz's as the centerpiece of his "Jewish Lower East Side" tour, calling it "a regular-guy proto-deco neon light hand-painted signage cafeteria palace of delicious greasy salty pastrami and hot dogs." It is a role model for the New York style delis of Connecticut:

  7. Holy Food!: Kosher and Its Imitators in Connecticut

    What exactly is kosher? The short answer is a religious certification given to any cooked or processed food that an observant Jew is permitted to eat. A satisfying answer in detail is not easy, so a visual aid may help: picture three identical matzo balls, each floating in its own bowl of soup: one at Shuman's in Bloomfield, the second at Gold's in Westport, and the third at Michael's in Middletown. The first is kosher, the second is "kosher-style", and the third is just an unaffiliated bowl of matzo ball soup. In addition to these three states of existence, the matzo ball itself straddles yet another stratum of culinary holiness: kosher-for-Passover knoshing.

  10. Eddie Huang talks about his memoir, "Fresh Off the Boat"

    You must be a specific type of person for the name Eddie Huang to register. Chances increase if you: 1) live in New York, 2) are plugged into the restaurant scene and read food gossip blogs, 3) are active on social media sites like Twitter, and 4) are Asian, younger than 25 and can recite the lyrics to Ghostface Killah's "Apollo Kids."

  12. The best of Chicago fringe theater in 2012

    Life on the fringe can be precarious, and this year three small Chicago theater companies with a combined 31 seasons among them decided to call it quits: BackStage Theatre and Caffeine Theatre (both on our best-of compilations in the past) and New Leaf Theatre, which bows out with its final production making our list this year. But the great thing about the rich Chicago theatrical loam is that it always encourages new companies and collaborations to take root. Every week, we cover the storefronts, lofts, basements, bars and all the other venues where the fringe is in full bloom. Below are some of the best shows we saw in 2012. Next week, we'll present some of our best bets for early 2013.
