"Interesting material ... if you can listen"
Bueller ... Bueller... Okay, maybe it's not that bad but listening to the narrator (and author) is challenging. Although fairly new to non-fiction audio books, I know there is better (e.g. Freakonomics). The material is interesting and well laid out in general. At 30+ min in, it is just hard to maintain focus with the monotonously pleasant tones spiked with too rare periodic inflections, rhythm changes, etc given Mr Bernoff's particular voice.

Sentinelese Tribe , Andaman and Nicobar
These Sentinelese tribal community is one of the most isolated and secluded tribes that are found in the whole world
Amongst various tribal communities who have settled down in the beautiful coastal islands of
and Nicobar, the Sentinelese is one of the important tribes . Eminent anthropologists of the
Indian subcontinent
, refer them in different names like Sentineli, Senteneli, Sentenelese, North Sentinel Islanders. These Sentinelese tribes have concentrated in North Sentinel Island of Andaman and Nicobar, completely detached from the happening of the outside world of modernity. Till date these Sentinelese tribes are one of the most secluded tribal people in the whole world who have maintained their cultural and social heritage intact from the influences of the modern day trends.
Due to lack of accessibility, it has not been possible to know the exact number of the Sentinelese tribes residing in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Attempts of conducting surveys have been made in the year 2001 by the Census which concluded that within `72-km² island` there are thirty nine Sentinelese tribes, out of which there are twenty one men and eighteen women.
The Sentinelese tribal community has got distinctive physical features, which enables any one to identify a member of this community. These Sentinelese tribes have got short body stature, dark complexion and also "peppercorn" hair. These Sentinelese tribes are quite tall; on an average, a normal Sentinelese male is 1.8 m/6 ft and Sentinelese female is 1.6 m/5.4 ft.
As far as hunting is concerned, most of these Sentinelese tribes are hunters and also gatherers. Some of these Sentinelese tribes even sustain their livelihood on fishing also. However, the anthropologists have traced no instance of practicing cultivation These Sentinelese tribes have developed unique style of making houses , which have no side walls and quite spacious. Decorative items are used for display including rectangular board, which resembles a square-chessboard, pig skulls and several red colored items etc.
Other aspects like weaponry, festivals etc too bear a mark of the cultural exuberance of this Sentinelese tribal community. The clothes of these Sentinelese tribes are scanty. However, during hunting expeditions, these Sentinelese tribes use leaves, fiber strings, fashionable belts or other materials for protection and safety.
Their weaponry comprises of javelins and also a fine flat bow, which can reach a target of near about hundred meters. There are about three kinds of arrows both for hunting and fishing. There are also `untipped` arrows, which can be fired as warning shots also. Although it is assumed that these Sentinelese tribes speak the language of the same name, yet, nothing much is known about it.
Food habits of these Sentinelese tribes are also unique. Coconuts are hot favorites Wild honey and also fruit or nuts, such as sapodilla and pandanus are also gathered by these Sentinelese tribes with the help of a type of `rake` Also eating raw meat of the animals is widely prevalent amongst these Sentinelese tribal community.
While carrying out lots of research, anthropological evidences are found out which prove the fact that Sentinelese tribes often participate in spontaneous musical, dancing and fetes signifying their joy and exhilaration.
What types of rites and rituals these Sentinelese tribes follow, are still not known. However , only it has been known that after the death of any infant , he or she is buried in grave on the top of which a `nautilus shell` and few tiny seashells are positioned. Next to the `embers` that are found in the Sentinelese houses, a stick more or less similar to a `five-fingered hand` is trapped in the ground almost vertically. Although it has got some ritualistic importance, nothing more is known about it.

Fatal Error Decompressing data
The game has been pulling a fatal error and crashing for the last couple of days. It throws up a window that reads:
"Fatal Error: Error decompressing data. Verifying Files in the launcher may fix this issue.:
Technical Details: Error decompressing data. Verifying Files in the launcher may fix this issue.:
Its had this exact same error and crashed 5 times since the patch on Thursday. I'm only logging in to do the CE event right now but its crashed nearly every time. The error subit window never gets an error code ID so the game just sits there running in the background till I kill it.
Doing a complete Verify does not seem to help as it will crash promptly after doing so.
Getting really annoying. I've had this issue before and it fixed itself eventually but now its happening during a limited time event. =/

Japanese Restaurants and Japanese Bakeries
I will be visiting to NYC later this month (August) and was looking to see if anyone knows of any good Japanese Restaurants and Japanese Bakeries that are around The Roosevelt Hotel, where I will be staying with my family? When doing a search over the Internet I found the Menchanko-Tei Restaurant just down the street from the Hotel and Minamoto Kitchoan in Rockefeller Plaza. I've read of a lot of good things about Kyotofu on these boards but that's a little distance from the Hotel, I think. Also I'd like to find some of those green tea truffles that are shown on:
You will have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to see them. If these are the same kind that were sent to me from a friend of mine in Japan (attached picture) all I can say is WOW!! I love them!!
Thanks for any help!
In the midtown area (East and West) there are plenty of Japanese restaurants to choose from:
For sushi - Sushi Yasuda (better rice) and Kuruma Zushi (better fish)
For izakaya - Aburiya Kinnosuke (for robata grill and fish dishes) and Yakitori Tottos (for yakitori, chicken dishes, etc)
Sakagura is good for sake. Sushi and food is decent.
Sugiyama is great for Kaiseki if you are interested.
Inagiku for tempura, though I won't say it's a must.
Kyotofu for desserts is great!
I won't bother with Menchanko Tei unless you really want ramen or soba. There are better ones in East Village, and if you are interested, let us know and we can list out other options in other areas in the city.
re: kobetobiko
Chikalicious is a wonderful tiny & cute dessert-wine place in the east village.
Sit at the counter and Chika-san will prepare yours right in front of you.
We were there on X-mas eve, won't forget it!
Also there's a cool sweet shop at Rock Plaza.
re: Leonardo
Chikalicious is lovely and worth a visit, but I wouldn't classify it as Japanese; the times I've been there, iirc the desserts have all been Western.
The sweet shop at Rockefeller Center is Minamoto Kitchoan, mentioned by the OP. It's a great place to buy traditional treats such as a variety of mochi-derived dumplings stuffed with red bean paste, chestnuts, etc. They also sell wagashi, exquisite fruit gels and other prettily packaged delights. It is not a sit-down place. It's near Kinokuniya, a comprehensive Japanese book store.
If you don't mind going downtown, there is a Japanese bakery on 9th St. near 3rd Ave. (I forget the name). Like the myriad bakeries in Japan, they sell Japanese versions of western desserts such as green-tea flavored cakes, bean-paste filled pastries, maybe even castella. If you head further east on 9th st., you will find several Japanese restaurants such as Soba-ya (hand made soba/udon) and a yakiniku place and a hole in the wall selling tako-yaki and okonomiyaki. There's also a Japanese-style tea place called Cha-ya.
re: chowmeow
You're probably thinking of Panya? It also supplies Sunrise Mart with its baked goods.
There's also Cafe Zaiya, which stays open later.
re: kathryn
Yes, thank you!
re: LeahBaila
Cha-an teahouse in the East Village has great green tea desserts.
Thank you to everyone for your responses! I will take all the information and look into each restaurant/bakery mentioned. I'm glad there's plenty of choices to choose from! :) Yes, my family and I are big on the ramen and soba. One of the reasons we want to stop in for a visit to Menchanko Tei. User "kobetobiko" mentioned there were better ones in the East Village though. Can anyone list which ones those might be? Also I had seen a place called Wave Sushi Restaurant on 538 Madison Avenue (at 54th Street) that seems worth visiting. Would anyone recommend Wave Sushi? Lastly, is there a good place where one could go for some okonomiyaki? I know it's a lot in asking but since we'll be in town for a week, it would be nice to visit as many restaurants/bakeries as we can. :)
re: asukaone
For okonomiyaki, if you're spending time in the E. Village area, you might try Go, on St. Mark's Place (8th St. bet. 3rd and 2nd Ave., closer to 2nd.) Besides okonomiyaki, they have a variety of izakaya-type fare. As stated above, Otafuku, a little hole-in-the wall on E. 9th serves mainly takoyaki and okonomiyaki, but doesn't have much room for sitting.
If you like Kyushu-style pork-broth ramen, I recommend Minca on 5th St. bet. Ave. B and C. Since I like that style, it's my favorite ramen in NYC; others find it too heavy/fatty. Other CH's like Rai Rai Ken on 10th bet. 1st and 2nd.
Sakagura isn't that far from your hotel, you can purchase the truffles from there, last time I went, they also had black sesame ones. Also on 41st street between 5th and madison you'll find some japanese eateries, most notably cafe zaiya which has a beard papa inside and a bakery section (the green tea pudding is really good). Otafuku in the east village does okonomyaki and takoyaki, there's also a bunch of japanese restaurants around that area including cecil crepe cafe where they make crepes with red bean filling and sponge cake. Kyotofu is not that far if you take a cab, it's not even that far of a walk, i love their original sweet tofu with brown sugar syrup.
There's Oms/b, a place with fresh and creative onigiri just down the street from Menchanko-Tei on 45th Street.
For the East Village ramen places, the two most folks talk about are Setagaya and Momofuku. Worth trying for ramen lovers. I also like Men-Kui-Tei in Midtown.
There's a lot of good suggestions so far. Cafe Zaiya and Panya are good examples of the standard Japanese bakery (panya). Panya's baked goods are hit or miss, and Zaiya tends to approach the exactness of the corporate cafeteria-like places in Japan. Not great, but probably looks the most Japanese of the panyas. The cafeteria style food there is OK too. The bakery items are the best things. Minamoto Kitchoan is a typical wagashi-ya (Japanese confectionery). They carry all the seasonal items and generally do a good job of it. I'm not sure where they make the stuff, but it's become the only national wagashi chain, as they're attached to all the Mitsuwa stores in the US as well. For patissieres (that's what they're called in Japanese as well), try Lady M in the upper east side, for typical Japanese patisserie items like mont blanc cakes, or mille fuille crepe, etc. Cafe Zaiya tries their hand at these too, and it's pretty competently made as well, but some items taste like they're made commercially. For choux cream (cream puffs), a Japanese favorite sweet snack, try the two main competitors, Beard Papa and Choux Factory. They're both pretty good, and offer their own different styles.
Sakagura, Cha-an, Kyotofu, Chikalicious offer good western style desserts with Japanese twists. Sometimes it's not so apparent (or successful), but generally high-level stuff. Cha-an was opened by the former pastry chef of Sakagura (and the desserts at Sakagura are still based on her recipes, I believe, including the truffles).
As for Japanese restaurants, there are quite a lot in the area around your hotel. The closest best option might be Hatsuhana Park on the Park Ave extension at 45th St. Also within a couple blocks is Katsuhama, which specializes in tonkatsu. If you want okonomiyaki, check out the izakayas in midtown, like Hagi or Riki (also on 45th). Don't bother with the ramen at Menchanko-tei.
re: E Eto
Wow, what a great list of suggestions, E_Eto. I'll have to make a checklist and try everything I've missed up to now.
Curious: What do you think of Onigashima, right above Menchanko-tei? I think it's by the same owners. I've always enjoyed the soba and udon there, but I'm far less knowledgable than you are about what's authentic and well made.
Kyotofu has green tea truffles (or at least they did when I was in there recently) that look nearly identical to the ones on your linked page. There are snapshots of the truffles in question on our site if you want to see them.

It was an entertaining and visually stimulating production, complete with flying cranes and dancing trees. Good-bye, little prince, we hope you come again.

Summer holiday, Wales 2014
This is a little while ago now, but I certainly don't want to forget our beautiful Welsh holiday. Endless blue skies, phenomenal sunrise and sunsets, warmth, and togetherness with my lovely family, we visited our usual haunts, added some new, enjoyed the coastal path, and picnics. Swimming in the sea, so warm and blue, eating ice creams, just being, it seems a world away now. But so many happy memories.

Schools out forever ♥
Well, there we are then, after 22 years, from my 1st child starting a school nursery, to my last child completing A levels, I'm through with school.... Yippee.... And the changes I've seen in the past 22 years are phenomenal, and not all for the good, when my first child started, you could walk into school whenever you liked if you wished to, now there are locks on absolutely everything, to keep them in and you out, you could also take them out whenever you pleased, and go on a family holiday when it suited you, not the school. They introduced suit and tie uniforms all over this area, fortunately, we just missed having to fork out on that expense. Finally, in the 11 to 18 schools, they group the classes with all age groups from years 7 to 11, it doesn't work, no one talks to anyone, not even the teacher.... Whilst my last child was studying for A levels they amalgamated two schools that were next to each other, shut one down completely, and have been left with a failing school, no wonder she's worried about her results. Turns out that 5 of her teachers are leaving this summer, (rats leaving a sinking ship) they can't teach their subject properly, as their being told to teach anything and everything.
Anyway, schools might be out forever, however, their not out of the education system yet. I was really dismayed to hear that the course my daughter has worked so hard to do since she was little, has been axed as well. She is in the last intake for the art foundation course at the university school of art and design. So, so sad. Thank goodness she didn't decide to take a gap year... But for now, we can all enjoy the summer, no exams, no homework, a very well deserved break.
And if I had my time again? I would very seriously consider home schooling.

Owens holiday schedule
Spring semester classes will begin Monday, Jan. 9.
From Nov. 1 – the start date for EHEAP – through Nov. 30, 670 households in the WSOS four-county service area have been approved for help paying heating bills, for a total of $205,899. This is the most homes that EHEAP at WSOS has ever served since it has been providing services to the community.
"However, with the volume of calls we are receiving so far, we are on target to end the program serving more people than ever before," said Tony Lindenberger, basic needs specialist at WSOS.
The income limits to receive assistance through this program remains at 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. This means that households with one person should earn no more than $21,780 or four-person households should have incomes of no more than $44,700.
EHEAP provides one-time assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by paying some of their heating bills. These households receive up to $450 one time to pay electric and other utilities, and up to $750 for those who use propane and have less than a 10-day supply left in the tank.
Residents who have shut-off notices receive assistance with heating bills through EHEAP while assistance for those who do not have shut off notices can get help through regular HEAP, which also provides a one-time per heating season assistance with paying some heating bills. However, regular HEAP requires applicants to file their own applications.
WSOS has applications available and can assist applicants with the forms. Both EHEAP and HEAP operate until March 31, 2012
Appointments are required to apply for assistance through EHEAP. To make an appointment, call 1-888-441-4327.

I bought this thinking it was a serum, but it is a primer. It feels very much of silicone, and has small flecks of shimmer (gold and orange). I think it's alright as a primer (but I think they are all pretty much the same) but I wouldn't buy it again.
More reviews by SkyAlternative
I bought this to use as a primer, not necessarily for the skin boosting qualities and I am glad I did since this works wonders. I use it before using Lioele Triple The Solution BB Cream and also Kat Von D Lockit Foundation and it is amazing! It makes my skin feel so silky and creates the perfect smooth canvas. Has not broken me out and I use it very frequently. One pump is enough to cover my entire face and neck.This retails for $27 but you can find it for as low as $16-$17 if you buy it from Ebay or take advantage of The Body Shop sales (and they always seem to have them.)
I love this as a primer. It makes my skin so smooth that my foundation just glides on. However, it does not even out my skin tone despite the vitamin c claims.
A sales rep at the Body Shop convinced me to buy this on the basis that it would improve my hyperpigmentation from acne along with the Drops of Youth serum. I've been using this religiously for 3 months and I haven't notice any improvement whatsoever! I'm still not exactly sure what the purpose of this product is - on one hand it's meant to give your skin a vitamin C boost, presumably for brightening and lightening up pigmentation (however that does not work), and it doubles as a makeup primer? I do wear makeup on top of this occasionally and I haven't found it to increase the staying power of mineral or liquid foundations. Won't repurchase this one as I don't really see the purpose of it!
I love TBS because they are CRUELTY FREE and I am currently trying to only buy cruelty free products. I love to use this product as a makeup primer since it leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and even. My regimen consists of washing my face, toner, eye cream, nourishing face lotion and then THE VITAMIN C SKIN BOOST last before putting on foundation. A little bit of this product goes a long way and it needs to be spread out and allowed to soak into skin. It has a refreshing orange scent to it. I would repurchase again but not at full price. TBS always has specials with B1G1half off or B2G2, but I like to wait for black friday when the whole store is 3/$30...which makes this bottle only $10!!!!
More reviews by Fabulousblonde
This is alright. It basically is just silicone with a fragrance. It does smell delicious. But doesn't do anything for skin. It kindof makes my skin nicely matte when I apply it, and does make skin look instantly radiant, but this doesn't last. It is very expensive for what it is also, but does last quite long. The pump is nice too. I would not repurchase.
First impression: though it does have that silicone-y feel I am pretty pleased with the product's performance. Although I have used only once it did leave a good impression on me. I have oily skin but am using benzoyl peroxide here and there in order to have a blemish free face. First I applied my new moistruizer (Sans Soucis Aqua Clear Skin) which I left to sink into my skin. Then I applied this serum sparingly (<1 pump), and on top of it my new foundation (Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation). This foundation doesn't control shine at all and I start to shine after two hours of wear time. By the end of the day my skin looks horrible, like an oil slick. But, combining with these two products, although I have had a sheen, the oil control was way better with these two products than with a random moistruizer and random primer. I am really happy that it did control oil so well and that my foundation lasted longer (worn it for 10 hr!!) which encouraged me to continue to start using it on everyday basis. I recommend it for everyone who has oily or combination skin who wears foundations "for all skin types" - that don't have (any) oil control. I took one lippie off because of that silicone feel since I am not fond of it. Comparing the silicone-y feel of this serum to Benefit's Porefacional has a more moistuizing sensation and iscnot as dry as that primer. Oh, and my foundation did glide nicer! So to sum the positives: makes you foundation go on nicer, prolongs the wear time, oil control is very good, has skin benefits according to The Body Shop.
Perfect makeup base. My mascara no longer leaves residue under my eye thanks to this product! Incredibly smooth application. Would prefer a bit more Moisture. Overall very nice, lovely smell.
Can someone tell me how to use this product? I brought it on impulse and without trying it at the store. What it says on the website is that it is a serum and can be use under makeup. Doesn't feel a bit like a serum and it feels really silicony and weird. Now, I have dry acne-prone skin and this does nothing to hydrate my skin and doubt it did lighten up my dark spots. Without or with makeup, this thing just fakes off. I think the gold shimmer in the serum is just another way of them saying that it gives glow / radiant to the skin which is just an illusion. Total disappointment!

Amazing product, really works for me! Makes my skin super smooth, radiant and matte. A little goes a long way and the bottle lasted for quite a while. Quite expensive, but I think my bottle made up for it. I used it under my makeup as well, and my foundation just glided right on like a dream.
Packed with silicones though, which is disappointing.
Still a great product.

Every good cook needs a recipe for Chinese Chicken Salad at her fingertips. I thought I'd share mine with you. The dressing is divine. This never fails to please! I usually roast a chicken in the oven for this -- but if I'm running short on time, I'll pick up a roasted chicken at the grocery store or Costco. I normally double the dressing part of the recipe -- just so I don't come up short.

"Sei bereit!"Tanz der Vampire is an Austrian musical with music by Jim Steinman and lyrics by Michael Kunze. It's The Musical of The Fearless Vampire Killers, and has the same general story, but with several alterations. All in all, it's a decidedly more raucous, over-the-top experience than the movie, chock full of Alternate Character Interpretation.The basic plot features The Hunter Professor Abronsius and his timid, feeble assistant Alfred arriving in a Transylvanian village straight out of Hammer Horror. Alfred falls in love with the innkeeper's daughter Sarah, and she toys with him a bit before running off to the local castle instead. Of course, said local castle is infested with vampires, lead by Count von Krolock and his Flamboyant Gay son Herbert (who has his own eye on Alfred), and Sarah prepares to become Krolock's new Queen of the Night at a lush vampire ball. Alfred, unaware that she's happier this way, valiantly tries to rescue her (when he's not screaming like a girl). Meanwhile, Sarah's father is turned into a vampire himself, and he goes on to turn Magda, the beautiful and chaste maidservant he's been lusting after for years, into his undead girlfriend.There was a Broadway version called Dance of the Vampires, but mentioning this is a good way to get hit in the face by fans of the European version. (Indeed, the American producers fired Jim Steinman from the project for protesting their Executive Meddling.) In Europe this show is largely regarded as the exception to the idea that all Vampire Musicals will fail, which otherwise applies as strongly as it does in America (Frank Wildhorn's Dracula tried to mimic the Tanz formula by having the score rewritten as a rock show and even casting perennial Krolock Thomas Borchert as Dracula. It lasted only a little longer than it did on Broadway).Productions so far:
The original and all other versions except the American include examples of:

There's an undeniable appeal to the idea: Skip work, head to a bar and watch the day sip away into a pleasant haze while others toil away in cubeland. For this purpose, nothing beats Sevy's Grill. It's a bright, upbeat space with a steady flow of daytime regulars--including fellow slackers. Daytime bartender James Pintello keeps the conversation flowing and stirs up some impressive sipping drinks. Psychologists and HR professionals give lip service to the value of a little downtime, but they're generally referring to time- and money-consuming vacations. Before a trip, harried business professionals spend hours clearing projects off their desks. Upon their return, these same harried professionals catch up on hundreds of e-mails and calls and other issues. It may be that a "doctor's appointment" spent at Sevy's is all the downtime a person really needs.

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. - The three way race for Florida's Senate seat has increasingly become a race for second place. Most polls show Republican Marco Rubio growing his lead in the race, but that doesn't mean he's cutting back on his campaign stops across the state.
Rubio met with a group of supporters here at Gilchrist park. It was the first of two stops in Southwest Florida. The Republican hopeful is hitting the final weeks of his campaign on a high note touring the state that included stops in Tampa and St. Petersburg Friday.
He was greeted by supporters who gathered on lawn chairs and was joined by his wife and 4 children. Rubio is enjoying a double digit lead over rivals Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek and earlier this week his campaign announced they raised $5 million last quarter.
His campaign also announced they raised 5 million dollars last quarter.
Rubio will spend the night in Fort Myers and has another campaign stop in Naples on Saturday.
Early voting starts on October 18 and election day is on November 2.

This girl.
She drives me insane.
Pushes every button.
Tries to work every angle.
Won't take no for an answer.
She's gonna be one hell of a #chingona one day.
But right now, my job is remind her daily that mama makes the rules and her job is to follow them. She can keep pushing. I don't want her to ever stop because that's the signal she's stopped believing in the power of her voice.
The goal is this — and I tell her this often — you can ask me why, but not until after you've done as you have been told. That shows respect and tells me you're still as smart as you think you are. Ask my why before and you're telling me that you're weighing you're options; trying to decide if not obeying is worth the consequence.
Mama's not playing that game.
And she gets it.
I know this because tomorrow, we will have this conversation again.
I look forward to it.
Update on the #ChingonaFest Project podcast: We're now shooting for early next week for the official launch of the first episode. Probably Monday or Tuesday. Until then, stay strong, my friends.

quick but adventurous lunch cuisine near Harvard??
Coming to town to do a week of research at the Schlesinger library (Radcliffe/Harvard). I will need to minimize my time out of the archive but I'd still love something more than a sandwich. My taste goes to spicy Asian (I like the Pho place, for example, that is upstairs near the Starbucks near Harvard Square) or adventurous tacos (tongue, tripe, cabeza). Indian would be good, Japanese noodle soups would be good. But I would like to minimize the walk-to time and the ordering time.
My #1 recommendation: eat at the bar at Upstairs on the Square. Food comes out quickly, you'll be back at work before you know it.
Lots of options at Porter Exchange for Asian, but not so exciting.
There's always Pinocchio's for a sicilian slice, decent house made soups and sandwiches at Shay's.
Skip lunch and call Chez Henri for a cuban sandwich to go for dinner. Mmmmm.
My favorite is probably Bombay Club's lunch buffet. I love the chaat table there. Moreover, all the Indian lunch buffets in Harvard Square are pretty good (Tamarind Bay, Tanjore, and Cafe of India). Rendang (Malaysian) is pretty good, as is Le's (upstairs from Starbucks).
This links to a recent, more general discussion on lunch in Harvard Square.
A few places mentioned that may fit the spec are Rendang (Malaysian), Tamarind Bay (Indian), Spice (Thai), Le's (Pho), Shilla (Korean), and Sabra (Middle Eastern).
Much, much better Japanese to be found a half mile north in Porter Square. The only "adventurous" tacos to be had in the area are also in Porter, at Tacos Lupita.
Good luck with the research!
In Harvard Square, there are tons of Indian restaurants. I've been hearing good things about Tamarind Bay, but there are plenty of choices in the square. One that is closer to Radcliffe is Cafe of India on Brattle St. All the Indian restaurants have lunch buffets, so they can be especially quick.
The Thai places in Harvard Square are your typical Americanized fare, but they usually have some good lunch deals. I used to go to Spice when I was in college.
Pho pasteur, which is now called Le's, in the Garage is always good for a quick bowl of pho.
I haven't been to Rendang, but there has been some chat on this board about it. I'm sure if you type the restaurant's name in the search bar you'll get a few opinions.
Takemura is on Eliot St, which is getting further into the square from Radcliffe. It's not the world's best sushi, but I have found it to be consistently fresh. They also have some interesting spicy rolls that might be right up your alley.
I know you said you weren't that interested in sandwiches, but there are some good ones in the square. One of my favorite quick bites to eat is the duck confit sandwich at Cardullo's. It's a gourmet shop with take out only, so you can grab the sandwich and take it back near where you're working. Pinocchio's has great Sicilian pizza and subs, especially the steak and cheese. Darwin's is a fairly well-known gourmet sandwich shop which gets mixed reviews for service, but I have always found their sandwiches to be tasty. It's on Mt. Auburn St, so fairly close to Radcliffe.
Oh, I forgot about Shilla. I think they have some nice lunch bento boxes. It's located in the same complex as Bombay Club and the Staples, but it's in the basement.
For something a little on the expensive side you could try Om. I've panned the lunch there, not because it's not good (it is, mostly) but it pales in comparison to Om's dinner, which, when it's on, is incredible. A lot of the sandwiches are Asiany and the truly stunning upstairs (and the cocktails) can be a nice break from studying. A menu sample: Broiled Unagi, Shallot Biscuit, Preserved Plum, Petite Salad Of Daikon, Kaiware Sprouts, Chili-Lime Vinaigrette, for $16. Tell them you're in a rush though.
Otherwise, I'd second Takemura and Tamrarind Bay. The cafeteria at the Law School can also be pretty good sometimes.
re: sailormouth
I'm going to reply to my own post, which I imagine is a major faux-pas, anyhoo. . .
I went to Om for lunch today (I'd been good all week on my food budget and needed to repent). I got beef momos with a mint/jalepeno sauce, excellent. Followed by their new duck confit salad, which is ducked cooked in duck fat and then pan seared, served with a (tiny) arugala salad in a nice little dressing thing (sorry, why I'm not a food writer) with some pecan brittle as well as a slice of Spanish blue with pear mostarda. It was all very good, assembled nicely and complimented each other very well. As it was lunch, I would have appreciated some starch somewhere to make it more filling, given me a slightly larger slice of cheese, a little more arugala and I wish they had served the duck confit with the meaty part towards me. Total food bill was $24.00. Add in an $18 Bordeaux, was nice but would have been more appealing at $15 or with a heavier pour. Total food bill before tip but after tax was $44.10.
Service was excellent, knowledgeable. Overheard gossip of new sous-chefs being hired.
re: sailormouth
You said you wanted quick. How quick was it, Johnny?
I really liked the sound of this until the part about the $18 glass of wine. Too rich for my blood at lunch. I know that isn't logical but it is what it is.
The duck confit salad sounds great, tho.
re: sailormouth
Woops. You didn't say quick, the OP did. My apologies. Still curious... is it a relatively quick lunch a la Tamarind Bay or more along the lines of Upstairs, which I've never found to be particularly speedy, except if eating at the bar.
re: yumyum
All together lunch was about 45 minutes or so(I was solo), perhaps a tad longer, but I didn't tell him to hurry it up. I wouldn't go if I HAD to be back in less than one hour, but hour-fifteen would be plenty, and two would be very nice indeed. The menu is quite small though so you might run out of food (the cocktail menu is long).
I was pretty happy with it, the momos in particular on this trip, and you know if I'm complaining about the position of the confit on the plate then I'm really grasping. They had some $10 and $12 wines, the bottles looked like reasonable deals, but of course the Bourdeaux, the most expensive glass they had, called my name like a siren.
Tamarind Bay is great for a fast lunch but there can be a line, in which case I go to Bombay Club if I'm committed to Indian.
If you'll be here for a week, and you've gone to all the good places suggested above, I'd add Casablana and Daedalus at Harvard Square, Plough and Stars down Mass Ave, Miracle of Science further down Mass Ave toward MIT, the Burren heading away from Harvard Square on the Red Line at Davis Square, and both Bukowski's and East Coast Grill at Inman Square.
I was one of the Rendang-recommenders on the previous thread, and I'd second Le's for a quick pho.
Darwin's service is often foul, but the sandwiches are great, they have Lakota Bakery cookies, and there is usually room to sit down at a table (I think).
What about the Mexican (Tex-Mex?) places on Mass. Ave.? Boca Grande and Forest Cafe? Sorry if I'm not remembering previous posts -- I haven't been to either of them in eons and don't remember much except for cheap and filling.
Although it's not a lunch place, save room for a mid-afternoon Burdick's break for hot chocolate and/or pastry.
re: Dizzied
What's with Darwin's service? (I've only eaten there once, a couple years ago. The roast beef was good, but nothing to e-mail home about).
re: Prav
The counter staff is usually more into their own hipness then into customer service. The ordering and payment systems are chaotic and depend on whose eye you catch first...or who you flag down more vigorously when you're the only person standing there and they're too busy discussing their music or love lives to bother with a customer.
That said, I end up there more often than I should since it's right next to my office and I love the vegetarian sandwiches, especially the Hubbard Park, which has about six different kinds of veggies, apples, and hummus on it. Plus there's the aforementioned Lakota cookies...
Forest Cafe is a bit of a hike from the Radcliffe Yard, but they do make good Mexican. At dinner they have evenmore specials, which change frequently.
If you need a sugar-hit after lunch, go to Burdick's, near Café of India, for hot chocolate, or anything chocolate you desire.
re: peregrine
Not such a fan of the Forest Cafe personally. But if you're in a Mexican mood, I strongly recommend a burrito at either Boca Grande (Mass Ave) or Anna's (Porter Square). Not too many adventurous fillings, but the burritos are easily the best I've had on the east coast...far better than Tacos Lupita IMO.
re: a_and_w
I'd agree that Boca Grande and Anna's are the best places for burritos, but if your mexican craving leans towards tacos or tortas, I think Tacos Lupita is much better. I think Tacos Lupita (and most of the other mexican/salvadoran places in the area, as opposed to cal-mex places) just have burritos on the menu because people ask for them, but they don't put a lot of soul into them.
re: MichaelB
That may be right re tacos and tortas, and I concede the fillings at Lupita are more varied and interesting. I think at the time I went there I was a bit fed up (literally and figuratively) with Salvadoran-influenced Mexican. Something about the niblets in the rice really turned me off...

The combination of succulent fruit and peppery arugula is especially effective in salads, and the variations are endless. The blue cheese is a deluxe addition; its rich pungency and creamy texture are an excellent counterpoint to the sweetness of the pears and the spice of the greens.
|1/4 cup
|pure maple syrup
|just-ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears (peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges each)
|Sea salt
|Freshly ground black pepper
|2 tablespoons
|balsamic vinegar
|1/2 teaspoon
|Dijon mustard
|1/4 cup
|extra-virgin olive oil or walnut oil
|5 ounces
|Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Arugula
|1/2 cup
|crumbled Stilton, Roquefort, or other blue cheese
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, Silpat, or aluminum foil and set aside.
Place the maple syrup in a bowl and add the pear wedges, stirring gently to coat all surfaces. Remove the pears from the syrup with tongs and transfer to the prepared baking tray. Reserve any maple syrup still in the bowl.
Season the pears lightly with salt and pepper, and roast until the fruit is browned on the bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the slices with a spatula or tongs, and continue cooking until the pears are tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and let the pears cool slightly.
Make a vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, mustard, and olive oil in a small glass jar. Shake vigorously to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add a teaspoon of the reserved maple syrup to the dressing, or more to taste.
Just before serving, place 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Add the arugula and toss to coat the leaves. Add more dressing sparingly, if desired (leftover dressing can be refrigerated for up to 4 weeks).
Arrange the greens on a platter, and add the blue cheese and roasted pears. Serve immediately.
