Dinner 28th & Park?
- sivyaleah Aug 7, 2006 02:10 AM
Need suggestions for nice solo dinner after an early after work appointment. Don't want to go any place too upscale, nor do I want to sit any place too much a "date" atmosphere. Looking more for a neighborhood feel, on the quiet side.
I used to live somewhat in the area but more on the northern tip of it, so I'm not as familiar with this end.
Any type of food except for asian (but indian would be fine).
Les Halles maybe? Never been there solo, but in general I've found French Bistros pretty accommodating for solo dining
Park Bistro would probably be my choice. It's directly across the street from Les Halles - it's smaller, quieter, a bit more intimate. If I were dining alone, I think I'd be more comfortable in a place that's not quite as crowded and loud.
yeah, Park Bistro is better than Les Halles. Frankly, I'd probably walk over to Lexington Ave. and go to PAn-Asian Rice try the salmon) or one of the many Indian joints.
I've stayed a couple of times in that area, solo on my part also, and had dinner at a couple of places. I tried Les Halles and liked it. The waiter was really nice. He was French and noticed that I spoke English with an accent (I speak French also since I'm from Montreal) and he was super nice and offered me a glass of port at the end of dinner. The food was good, but the service was even better.
The best place for solo dining at that area is Campanile (29th street between park and madison). Have dinner at the bar and the owner, Slavko, will take care of you and make you feel like family. The food is really good. I'm going to NY next weekend with my boyfriend and that's the place I'm bringing him for his birthday. He loves Italian food and I know he'll love the place.
If you don't mind taking the bus, or a cab, you could go to Otto. It is on 8th street at the corner of 5th avenue. Have dinner at the bar. They serve quartinos of wine (around 2 glasses of wine) and they have a great selection of wines.
If you are on an expense account, you could go to Wolfang's which is on Park a couple of streets north. I think it is around 34th street.
There's l'Artisanal around 32nd street, between Madison and Park.
Park Bistro or Campanile sound good. I have not been to either, and I've heard good things particularly about Park Bistro here.
I've been to Les Halles, I like it but it's much too noisy. Same for Artisinal, love it, been there many times but again, too frantic. If I were going for that type of food, I'd pick Artisinal over Les Halles anyway.
Also, I'm trying to stay local since I need to get back to Penn Station to head home, so going down to Otto makes no sense, tho it sure was a great idea otherwise. I've been wanting to try it but I think my husband would have a fit if I went without him :-)
BTW no expense account - It is a personal thing I have to do. I've heard Wolfgang's is awful. Last place I'd go if in the mood for steak. Several people I know have been there and were very underwhelmed.
re: sivyaleah
I agree with the suggestions here, lots of good choices and I would go to Park Bistro myself (glass of wine, good bistro food (my fave), pleasant atmosphere), however I must repy to your Wolfgangs is awful comment. Wolfgangs is not awful... Both my husband and best friend work right there and we have all (including their co-workers) been to Wolfgangs more than a few times out of convenience and ease, lunch and after work. The food is good to very good, not the best steakhouse in the city but definitely very good if you order right. I have eaten at the bar a few times as well for more casual dining, last time with my best friend a few weeks ago...we split a salad, steak, side of onions and a baked potato. Bartenders were terrific, I am pregnant and they served the steak medium rare so my friend had her preference, cut my slices and took them away to cook through (unfortunate necessity of pregnancy). They split everything for us to make life easy, made her a terrific martini and kept my soda water filled all the time. Made friends at the bar and enjoyed the free homemade potato chips served warm at the bar. Did I mention that everything was delicious?
I would recommend it if you are in the area and in the mood for that type of place, lots of choices beside steak as well...
The best, inexpensive food in the area, in my opinion, are a handful of the Indian restaurants on or near Lex. Not all are good, but I've found these to be. Saravanaas is my favorite.
Saravanaas - 81 Lexington Ave on NE corner of 26th St
Pongal - 110 Lexington Ave btwn 26th & 27th
Chennai Garden - 129 E. 27th btwn Park & Lex
Madras Mahal - 104 Lexington Ave btwn 27th & 28th
re: sivyaleah
Chennai Garden and Madras Mahal are the best of that list.
re: xavier
I totally forgot about L'Express! Haven't been there in ages and I really like it very much. Good idea!
I would also suggest Houston's, which is located at 27th Street and Park Avenue. Great place to sit at the bar for dinner.
If you like sushi, you should try Sushi Sen-nin on E. 33 St. between Park and Madison. You can sit at the sushi bar or at a table. Service is very nice and the food is delicious!
one of my favorite places to dine alone is kitchen 22 on 22nd street between park and 5th. i get their $29 prix fixe at the bar with a few glasses of wine. yum.
re: Muffin
Is the food any better? It sure wasn't impressive when I went a few months ago.
there's a vietnamese place on 27th and 3rd called ahn. their food is hit or miss but i like their clay pot ginger chicken and you can also order a cocktail. it's never been noisy during my meals there. i also like penelope (on lex - can't remember where). it's a pretty little restaurant with light food - salads, etc. there's a small french place called cosette somewhere in the area - i've been there once and it was pretty good. very cozy.
re: jgc10
Penelope is at 30th and Lex. and is one of my favorite little places in the city. I wish they'd add something new to the menu though...its been the same thing for the 2 1/2 years I've lived in the neighborhood. Cosette is good, Trio (next door to Cosette) is also good but both rooms are fairly ugly.
How about the Bread Bar at Tabla? That's at Madison and 25th. It's not super cheap, but if you're interested on a light meal, you can get a variety of things and the overall meal won't be exorbitant. Plus, there's the added bonus of being able to sit outside. Of course, if you're at the Bread Bar, you're basically across the street from the Shake Shack, if that's more your cup of tea.
A couple of other recommendations I have are:
Vatan - 3rd Ave and 29th
Rice - Lex and 28th.
Vatan is great - but I've never been alone. No menu - it's basically Gujurati style thalis. All you can eat. You can order mild, medium or spicy, and they bring out an "appetizer" thali then an "entree / desert" thali.
I don't think food at Rice is remarkable, but I do love the jerk chicken wings and the cranberry rice krispies. The veggie meatballs are reasonable, IMO, as well. (Edit: I know you said no Asian. Rice does make a pass at Asian, so maybe you want to skip it. However, Rice's resemblance to Asian is faint enough that I initially didn't think to disqualify them when writing this.)

good servise and management,healthy breakfast,beautiful spa...
Everything was perfect except the outside restaurant.
The waitress in the restaurant didn't let us take up a table, 'cause it was for 2 persons and we were accompanied by our kid, nevertheless there were some big tables with only a couple of punters. Anyway, their behavior was quite unfriendly and we had to wait outside.
A super hotel with excellent staff and facilities. Good food is served at the Pechhütte and for something extra like a Candlelight Dinner there is The Dependance. Highly recommended for people who just want to relax.
Perfect location near by lake, one hour from Berlin by train and 15-20 min from train station by foot in the nice park. You will see the lake by the way. I booked room with bath, but our room was with sower only. Reseption kindly changed the room with any stress. Good food, perfect sauna, spa, service, swimming pools inside and outside. Welcome apples :-)
The staff at the desk and spa were extremely friendly and helpful. The gym and pool facilities were very good. Spa services were excellent and prices reasonable. The on-site restaurants were surprisingly good, if a bit pricey. Breakfast and room were all as expected. Overall and excellent stay.
The restaurants were a bit pricey, but quite good. The pillows and beds in the room were not that comfortable. The air conditioning unit was very loud, which was unfortunately on a very hot weekend.
Breakfast Piano bar - excellent service and good selection of drinks!
Hotel staff had issues of speaking English. Not good value of money, for same price I would get a business class room or junior suite in nearly any hotel in Germany. Hotel restaurant and other restaurants close the kitchen at 10pm (even in the weekends!).
Nice breakfast, friendly staff
Being asked to keep room windows shut on a warm day because of insects ... alternative was a noisy aircon. Extra 7:50 euro to park car in the hotel carpark - there is no real alternative
The breakfasts are great, the rooms clean and nice and the spa area is great. There are some nice walks along the lake. All in all a great weekend getaway.
Food at the Dependance was sub-average for the price and also for being the "fine dining" option for a 4 star restaurant, also in general the service staff at the restaurants attached to the hotel was quite slow and non attentive. The hotel staff was lovely.
The breakfast was nice!
You had to order the babysitter one week before your arrival.
Our room was spotlessly clean and very modern. SPA facilities are excellent. Breakfast is good too!:) The staff is really helpful and friendly. And we enjoyed the location very much - you can have long romantic walks on the lakeside:)
The soundproof of the door is excellent, and walls look so solid, but unfortunately you can hear TV from room next door (o maybe from room above?) Also we heard a dog barking somewhere in the hotel When we broke a mirror accidently and reported it to the reception, it was clear, that staff is not surprised at all and this is quite common incident there It's not a big deal, but just a tip: be careful with small mirror in the bathroom (better do not touch it at all), cause it falls from it's stand so easily...

The race for governor is nearing the end, and the candidates are heating up.
Trying to reach every last voter possible, Libertarian Ed Thompson and Democrat Jim Doyle made brief stops in Wausau Monday on their way to Lambeau Field in Green Bay for the Packer game.
Each asked for just a little more effort from their supporters, and each claimed to be the change the state needed to get out of financial troubles.

Ali and Dina: Soon to be Living Lohanby Mischalova at . Comments
Excuse us while we vomit...
Okay, we're back and ready to announce that the name of Ali and Dina Lohan's summer reality show will be Living Lohan.
While we were hoping this series would be based around the mother and daughter dealing with different incapacitating illnesses every week, it looks like the show will focus on Dina once again pimping out a daughter instead.
"Viewers will go inside the Lohan's Long Island home for the first time to follow Dina as she works double duty as mom and manager to help Ali try to follow in her big sister [Lindsay's] famous footsteps," a press release for the show says.
Cameras will also follow the duo to Vegas as Ali Lohan becomes the latest untalented celebrity to record an album.
"Dina is determined to help each of her four kids fulfill their dreams and refuses to live in fear of what others may think, despite being under the paparazzi microscope," the press release adds.
We'd write more, but we're too in awe of how incredible a mother Dina Lohan is.
i think shes cool i LOVE her sister but she's cool too i guess and i wouldd kill to have her lifee LUCKYYY! <3 ;)
OMG they are far from normal. I would have kicked her ass if it was my kid that brought home another dog when there is already 5 in the house. Ali is just another spoiled azz BRAT. And DINA White Trash! Just a piece of trash. She is going to get what is coming to her.
But really, what mother doesn't want to help their kids reach their goals?? I think the show is good to show that they are kind of normal!
Watched the show last night, and all I can say is..."All Aborad, Train Wreck #2 arriving on Track #1. This girl does not have the talent to be a star, she cannot carry a tune in a bucket. Although the voice can be enhanced with all the electronic technology available, Aliana is just a poor copy of another Britney wannabe. She doesn't have a style of her own, is not recording any of her own music, I would be surprised if she has any actual musical trainning. This is Dina living off of her child once again, and destroying yet another life. Dina, get in touch with an organization called a Minor Consideration, you need professional help, and your daughters need a decent mother.
her daughter is not cute
What a wretch this woamn is - and her ex-husband. She may be Cute, to some people, however, this woamn clearly "pimp's herself and her children. Goog Gief, what a very sadcommentary on America did she or her children ever do anything but be Cute - beautiful but Cute/ It's no wonder that we are hated throughout the world - this is and other no talent young adults are our culture??? "The last one leaving the U.S. please carry the flag".....
This dinah-whore must at least "USE" one daughter who will supply cash.
This because it's running out FAST!!
That kid looks like shes 50 already....

At least I´ve been harping about the ´elitist´ republicans for some time now, yet, stupidly, I´ve been short sighted too; because, I´ve looked no farther than the next election. The REAL question is, what´s going to happen if republicans win both the house and senate come November. SO . . ., let´s play, THE R´s WIN! Now what?Who believes the republican will suddenly take up Tea Party causes? Of course they won´t. They are trying to kill the tea party. They will do what the democrats are doing in a limited way. The country will continue its decline. The republicans will be blamed; therefore, in 2016 the republicans will lose the house, senate, and the Whitehouse.We had better let the democrats win come November, rightly get blamed -- we´ll be like Argentina is today. Then let the enterprising Americans rebuild this country from the ashes.Of course, in the meantime we´ll be vulnerable to attack from our foreign enemies . . ., Maybe Israel will have the ability to help us out. I´m not smart enough to figure that out.

Are you giving a restaurant a fair review?
Is it fair to go in to a restaurant with expectation based on reviews and then either not be impressed or worse yet, be disappointed? Are you being completely objective and non-partial or is your judgment somehow affected by your expectations.
Is it the same thing as watching a preview of a movie and then rating the actual movie as so-so because you already knew of the good parts from the trailer?
While I do not subscribe to my friends theory that, "if you lower your expectation, you will never be disappointed", I am interested in hearing thoughts from fellow chowhounds.
Is there a strategy that some of you are using which helps you in not getting caught up in the hype or rave reviews of a place and merely enjoying the place for what it is when you go out?
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanx.
Easy for me. I believe all reviewers have an agenda.
If I want a good overview of a restaurant, I come here or go to Yelp.
Then I try it out for myself, at least twice, and since I never lie, I always believe me in the end.
I don't think anybody can be completely objective and non partial when it comes to food. It's not a science experiment (and even with science experiments, biases can play a role). I TRY to be unbiased as much as possible. If something didn't meet my expectations, I'll say that it wasn't as good as I've heard about. I remember being disappointed by my first In n Out experience. It's been so hyped that I thought it was going to be like an orgasm in my mouth. It's a good fast food burger, but by no means life-altering. On the SF and LA boards, I have seen visitors talking about how they have to squeeze In n Out in their already stuffed itinerary because they've heard so much about it. After that experience, I try to not have any expectations and try to enjoy the food for what it is. DH, however, tends to get more disappointed if he's read a lot of good reviews. For example, after seeing Bourdain say he's had the best pig ever at Ibu Oka in Bali, he was determined to go there. So we did. All he kept talking about on the plane was that pig. I thought it was outstanding. DH, while he loved it, wasn't convinced that it was the best pig in the world. I think he had built it so much in his head that he was disappointed. I think he expected the pig to rise up from the spit and dance or something -- because it was really really good! He was also disappointed by Eleven Madison Park's famed suckling pig as well because he's heard so much about it. We're flying cross-country next month because we were able to score reservations at the French Laundry. We're going for a weekend, but we basically planned the trip around FL. So there's a lot hinging on this one meal. I keep telling him and myself not to get too excited over this meal. I think being cognizant of it helps, but as human beings, we all have some sort of expectations.
A review is just one person's opinion. I usually don't read them at all (I don't live in a place where people review a lot of the restaurants!), but I prefer to make up my own mind about a place. My expectations have more to do with what the place looks like, what's on the menu, how the place smells, how friendly/knowledgeable the waiters are, and lots of other clues.
But as far as reviews go, it also depends on who's doing the reviewing. If it's a friend whose taste I know well, that means more to me than what Frank Bruni says. Of course, someday I may find out that Bruni and I have similar taste, but at the moment his opinion wouldn't have that much weight compared to other factors.
If you're really concerned about getting too caught up with reviews (and I think a lot of people depend way too much on others' opinions about what they eat), I'd strongly suggest not reading/listening to them.
This question has come up on another board, too. There's a restaurant that consistently gets great reviews that I tried and was disappointed. I was told my expectations were too high, by fans of the restaurant (to be expected, I guess, going against CW) and that restaurants aren't always going to provide a "wow" experience--though for me, spending $300+ per couple should be a "wow" experience.
On the same lines, if you eat at excellent restaurants then you're also going to compare anything new to your experiences. When you come down to it, it's always going to be subjective and "fair" is in the eye of the beholder. How much you've enjoyed the food, regardless of baggage, is what counts. One of the best meals I've had is a can of sardines and loaf of fresh bread when I was exhausted, interrailing through Europe in college.
I typically don't read reviews of restaurants that I go to. In Garlic and Sapphires, Ruth Reichl talked about the newspaper's perception of their intended readership. She no longer focused on the reader who would be likely to go to the restaurant; instead, she provided a review that was aimed at the person who likely wouldn't go there. After all, the readership of the times is much broader than the number of people who could fit into an of these places or for that matter the number of people who could afford to go there. Her writing was designed to be a virtual experience of a restaurant. In retrospect, that's not an ideal preparation to go.
I read reviews most often in that spirit, escapist fiction. I read the Times Reviews, Jonathan Gold, even occasionally Chicago Tribune's reviews, knowing that I am extremely unlikely to go to these places.
As for local reviews, they have a less concealed agenda, and the writing is typically pretty poor, and one review looks much like another. I look around for better blogs (or chowhound) instead. There's often less of a buildup because even raves rarely lavish the minute detail of a well-crafted review.
I believe by definition reviews of anything aren't objective (or intended to be). It's one person's opinion and you (general) need to consider the source and determine if it's credible or not.
And as we see on Chowhound (and in life) different people have different expectations and different deal breakers.
I try to use a combination of sources whenever possible and locally I have friends whose opinions I give more weight to than others. I have one friend who hates to wait so being seated immediately is her litmus test. I figure if I'm not waiting at peak time (without a reservation) something is most likely amiss.
re: Janet from Richmond
>>reviews of anything aren't objective (or intended to be).
But isn't it the 'job' of the newspaper restaurant reviewer to be impartial and to not be biased by who is buying advertising space in their magazine or newspaper?
I've found out differently, and no longer believe a word I read.
re: dolores
Impartial IMO is different from objective. Obviously they should not be bought off (and in the case of my local newspaper's reviewer I definitely believe they are not impartial) but every person's 'critieria' of what makes a restaurant worthy is different. That's human nature.
re: Janet from Richmond
Exactly, Janet. That's why, given a restaurant review and even given all the helpful reviews from people here who live to eat, the final analysis (based on at least two visits) is still in the mouth of the person at the keyboard.
re: dolores
I don't disagree.
I read a lot of reviews and ask around about a place before I go, but I realize that we are all different in our expectations, and that counts for a lot. We each have our individual "buttons" that get pushed, which makes us give a good or bad review, whether it be to our friends or in a public forum. So many things factor into the equation, such as your server, the timing, the food, the crowd, or lack of one, and it could be a great place on the first of June, but on July first it is really not so good. There are a couple local reviewers that I like, but they may have gone on a really good or bad day, so I have to take it with a grain of salt, and make my own decisions. Looking at local forums, like this one, is good, as well, but again you have to try it yourself. I went to a particular place for a certain seasonal dish which was highly recommended by local forums, citysearch, B4-U-eat, etc. It must have been an off night because we were not as impressed as the others were, but I will try again. It's like asking a person if that movie was good, and they rave about it. Then you see it and are appalled. We have a running joke that if my in-laws like it (movies, books, or restaurants) then we know for SURE we won't! So if you tell me that so and so has the BEST burger in town, and I try it, and it doesn't meet my criteria, then I won't ask you again, or if I do I will be very specific about what like in a burger! A whole lot of hype doesn't make the place, it's the total experience that you have when you go.
A review like a dish should be taken with or without a grain of salt. How can a reviewer be objective and not personal. Is the food spicy? personal. presented well? personal. timing? personal. decor? somewhat personal.
Should a review take the form of a menu description? that is the only way to have it impartial.
jfood is looking for the descriptive elements when he reads a review (whether on CH, other sites or in the newspaper) to get a general feel for the place. Then he goes to the restaurant to enjoy the meal and discuss the elements with mrs jfood. they differ often on various dishes and places. And then jfood reviews the good and the needs improvement.
The idea of bucking the trend at professional reviewers favorites or CH board darlings does not concern jfood. he has written what he thinks about a restaurant on the night he experienced the restaurant. Yes, they may have a bad night and jfood has gone to great lengths to chat with the restaurantthat may be a darling where he had a bad experience. And he has found that 100% of the time, the discussion with the manager was a positive for both sides.
So in the end jfood looks at reviews written by others before he goes, but at the end of the day, it is what he likes that he writes about and what mrs jfood likes that she discusses with him.
Does jfood get caught up in the hype? Sure, and that nirvana may last for five minutes or for the entire meal once jfood arrives and is seated. Then he starts to enjoy the meal versus the hype. Sometimes he agrees, sometimes he does not.
Are the reviews impartial, no, they are personal.
Restaurant reviewers, like any other critics, have their own tastes and standards. This is true of both professionals and the many amateurs who post on Chowhound, Egullet, Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc.
For me the key is to identify the critics (both amateur and professional) whose tastes seem to be most analogous to my own, and to use them as one resource in determining whether or not to try a new place (or where to eat in an unfamiliar city). If that's not possible - when I'm on the road, for example - I try to get some general sense of what sounds good by reading a number of different responses on the boards and looking for a general consensus; I've found some terrific restaurants in places like Winslow, AZ, and Buffalo, WY that way.
I always try to keep my expectations reined in because hardly anything is ever as good as one's fantasies (a good general rule of life, IMHO), and try to enjoy my dining experience wherever I go. As a rule, that's worked out pretty well.
re: Striver
I also try to find a critic whose views seem to coincide with mine. Here in Toronto, we are lucky enough to have four daily papers. One has a food critic who actually went to cooking school in France decades before it became trendy; her reviews focus not only on the food, but also on the atmospheric extras (do they offer to take her coat, the attitude of hosts/hostesses, noise levels, etc.) that make the difference between a great night out and an unpleasant experience. Another has a "critic" who seems so delighted at getting a free meal she never criticizes anything. Guess whose reviews I tend to pay attention to?

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Perennial L.A. favorites I See Hawks are just beginning to penetrate Texas. Their pre-SXSW Wednesday-night gig at the Continental Club so impressed the staff, they immediately booked the band again for a Friday-night slot. With three strong writers in the band -- singer Rob Waller is a creative-writing prof at USC, guitarist Paul Lacques is a playwright and comic strip creator, and bassist Paul Marshall has been writing and performing since he was lead singer of the psychedelic "Incense and Peppermint" hitmakers Strawberry Alarm Clock in 1969 -- the Hawks' material can range from the poignant "She Was Raised by Hippies" to the rocking "Motorcycle Momma." In between come all kinds of whacked-out alt-country weirdness such as "Slash from Guns N' Roses" and great marijuana anthems such as "Barrier Reef" and "Humboldt," and the whole enchilada comes with a friendly Burrito Brothers/Gram Parsons patina.

Several thousand people rebutting the changes to the Constitution proposed by President Hugo Chávez are rallying on Bolívar Avenue, downtown Caracas, to begin an act closing their campaign against the constitutional reform -which will be voted next December 2.
Demonstrators began walking from several places in Caracas, such as Alfredo Sadel Square, in Las Mercedes, southeast Caracas, Brión Square, in Chacaíto, north Caracas, Venezuela Square, north Caracas, and La India rotunda, southwest Caracas. They are demonstrating to voice their rejection against the Chávez's intended changes to 69 out of the 350 articles of the 1999 Constitution.
Student leader Yon Goicoechea showed excitement at the number of people who are gathering on the Bolívar Avenue, including university students and opposition parties.
"We said we would crowd the Bolívar Avenue, and we did it! We said we would win the referendum and we are going to make it!," Goicoechea said.
Students at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), Andrés Bello Catholic University (UCAB), Simón Bolívar University (USB), Metropolitan University (Unimet), Monteávila University (UMA) Santa Rosa Catholic University (Ucsar), among others are attending the demonstration.

useful as a means of understanding public opinion, they are based on public perceptions concerning the severity of crimes, which may include misperceptions about the frequency of injuries in typical criminal events (see Cohen, 1988b). Moreover, these studies are generally unable to distinguish between the generic harm associated with an injury and the actual consequences of any one victimization. The latter would be particularly important if one were interested in the extent to which the consequences of victimization vary across different segments of the population (e.g., age or sex).
Society's ability to control criminal behavior is limited by its ability to pay for police, courts, and corrections. In an effort to reduce crime, the severity of its consequences, and the cost of preventing and controlling crime, society has undertaken many criminal justice experiments. Recent examples in corrections include intensive probation (National Institute of Justice, 1987), electronic monitoring of offenders (National Institute of Justice, 1989a), and shock incarceration programs (National Institute of Justice, 1989b). Other criminal justice policy experiments include preventive police patrols and misdemeanor spouse arrest programs for domestic violence (National Institute of Justice, 1988).
One of the advantages of using dollars as a common metric for analyzing criminal victimizations is that we can compare the benefits of reduced victimization to the costs of the proposed policy. If two options have identical crime control effects but differing costs, the choice is simple. Unfortunately, few policy alternatives are so easily compared. In a more realistic case where a new policy reduces crime at some additional expense (or increases crime at a savings), one of the key questions is whether the reduced (increased) crime level is worth its price. Only by monetizing the cost of criminal victimization can one begin to answer that question.
There have been a few attempts to conduct benefit-cost analyses of criminal justice programs. For example, Friedman (1977) concluded that the social benefits of the Supported Work experiment in New York exceeded its social cost. This conclusion was reached despite the fact that the "costs" of crimes averted by this program were largely underestimated due to the state of knowledge prevailing at the time. More recently, the deterrent and incapacitative effects of longer prison sentences were combined

|DBCC CHECKSTORAGE does not detect LOB compression flag inconsistencies in the TIPSA. With DBCC CHECKTABLE and DBCC CHECKDB these types of inconsistencies were already being reported with message 15960.
|When running REORG REBUILD against a table whose name or any column name might form part of a reserved double or triple keyword phrase it is possible for an error 156 error to be reported along with error 11934 and for the REORG REBUILD command to abort.
|When a rule is created which is not compatible with the column to which it is bound, SAP ASE generates an error message when it tries to insert a value. After raising the error, a SIGSEGV is then reported.
|Sometimes a long running transaction can be seen in tempdb for $sort_local which results in tempdb filling up if a large data set needs to be sorted.
|When the SAP ASE kernel mode is configured as process and an SSL session/connection is abruptly killed/aborted, a SIGSEGV (infected with 11) with a stacktrace may be reported in the SAP ASE errorlog. The functions drop_connection() and ssl_nclose() are likely to be seen as part of the stacktrace.
|In rare circumstances, a 3474 error, "During redo the page timestamp value is less than old timestamp from log....", may be reported during boottime or LOAD DATABASE recovery, when a transaction that allocated a page, rolled back that allocation while a checkpoint was active.
|When the SAP ASE server is out of locks, a permission check can cause the error message "ulpspinlock: spinlock order violation" to be reported followed by a crash the SAP ASE server.
|The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'cpynodes' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 's_copytmps' and 'batch_loopend' may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when a BATCH INSERT into a temporary table is executed, followed by 6103 and 703 error while SAP ASE attempts to free procedure cache memory.
|SAP ASE running on Windows platforms may report the following message in the SAP ASE errorlog early on during startup: "kernel KERNEL structure not padded correctly - size = 1736". This message may be safely ignored, and this CR prevents it being reported.
|In a long running ASE server configured for SSL, SSL handshake errors due to memory allocation failures appear for new incoming connections.
|A segmentation violation occurs when sp_listener starts an SSL listener where no SSL listeners had been started previously.
|SAP ASE running on Unix/Linux platforms only prints the top 25 stack frames in a stack overflow stacktrace report which could mask the root cause and also provide insufficient diagnostics when a stack overflow is caused by a recursive function. If the stack overflow backout code uses too much stack, the backout process can cause stack guard word corruption resulting in server shutdown. This CR removes the limitation on number of frames in the stacktrace and if the stack overflow backout code use of the stack reaches within 4K bytes of the stack boundary, it then initiates forcible termination of the task to prevent stack guardword corruption. The default value of 'stack guard size' is increased by 4K bytes to retain earlier level of stack availability. Traceflag 3687 provides a stacktrace when a transaction is aborted due to insufficient stack space that can provide additional diagnostics on stack usage by the query. Traceflag 3686 disables this change. This change is not applicable to the Microsoft Windows platforms.
|When using ALTER DATABASE, an 806 error, "Could not find virtual page for logical page < page# > in database ' < dbname > '..." may be reported if ALTER DATABASE removes more than a single fragment from the end of the given database.
|When an insert trigger exists on the target table of the MERGE statement, the wrong result may happen.
|On Microsoft Windows platforms an isql session may hang when establishing an SSL connection to an SAP ASE.
|An SAP ASE shutdown occurs after hitting a SIGSEGV (infected with 11). In the SIGSEGV message in the SAP ASE errorlog the faulting address may reference the function uppushaffinity().
|In some rare conditions, error 8201, severity 26, state 1 might be raised during high availability failover accompanied by a stack trace with des_do_get/ha_session_check in it.
|On the AIX platform, when SSL is enabled, after a few thousand connections, connection failures occur and error message "ks_falloc: Cannot allocate using ubfalloc" appears in the SAP ASE errorlog.
|Client connections to SAP ASE may hang when SSL is enabled and the network memory pool is exhausted.
|In some cases, a DML command is not correctly replicated because SAP ASE Replication Agent may mistakenly generate the table schema definition for metadata reduction for a table that is marked for replication. Schema building is needed when the table is created or altered in the same user transaction as the DML which affects the same table.
|When using LDAP, an assertion message and a SIGABRT/SIGIOT (infected with 6) stacktrace may be reported in the SAP ASE errorlog. The assertion will say "result == SYBCSI_RESULT_OK, file core/source/csimemory.c". The stacktrace will include the function login__ldapauth().
|A 213 error can be reported "Insert error: column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition." in a stored procedure, when deferred compilation is active, if a column is added to a table and there is a dependency on "select * " behavior to ignore the extra column. Trace flag 7798 will ignore this error if deferred compilation is turned on and allow normal compilation to process the statement. If normal compilation still sees an inconsistency, or some other activity causes re-resolution of the stored procedure, then errors may be still be reported.

Best Burger or Shwarma in NYC?
We are coming to NY for a visit again (we're former New Yorkers) and really (REALLY) miss the kosher food places. Can you recommend your favorite glatt kosher place? We are staying in Williamsburg with family so the city is the closest place for us to go to. However, if an awesome shwarma exists in Queens or Bklyn we''ll make the extra effort to go. Thanks for any advice?
re: craigcep
I've never had their burgers but their food is otherwise great: Gottleib's in Willy.
Prime Grill has some great burgers on their lunch menu - I'm partial to the porcini burger and the waguy sliders. I also really like kosher deluxe's shwarma.
I like the shawarma (and the falafel!) at Golan, in Washington Heights. It mostly caters to YU students and isn't the slightest bit fancy, but the food is really good.
Shwarma: Pita Off the Grill, on E 2nd St just off Ave P. (F train)
Famous Pita, cnr Coney Island & Newkirk Aves (B/Q train or B68/ B8 bus)
Olympic Pita, Coney Island Av btwn J & K. (Q train or B68/B6/B11 bus)
Burger: Burgers Bar, Coney Island Av btwen O & P (B68 bus)
Tell me where in WIlly you're staying and I'll give you public transport directions :-)
re: Kosher Critic
So i hear, but I've never been there because of the problem with the Le Marais hechsher.
re: Kosher Critic
where is the clubhouse cafe? and what problems with the mashgiach?
re: ravenport
Clubhouse Cafe is at 155 West 46th Street, between 6th and 7th Aves. It is under the OU. There were issues several years ago with Le Marais, which is across the street and has the same owner. Do a google search for it. A mashgiach accused Le Marais of taking certain improprieties. The OU never pulled its certification.
re: craigcep
I have spoken w/ the mashgiach at Clubhouse and have no reservations about eating there. BTW, to be consistent, if one believed there were an issue one would need to avoid all OU items (which I know some do to a degree). Top notch burgers! Maybe I will have one next week :)
re: ravenport
The chef has a long history of problems. And the owner values the chef more than the hechsher, and is perfectly willing to lose the hechsher rather than the chef. He lost the OK rather than fire the chef, so he went to the OU. Then the OU mashgiach (R Yitzchak Biton, who is an extremely trustworthy person) said he caught the chef deliberately making the food treif, but the OU ignored his warnings so he resigned and went public. If I were the new OU mashgiach and I saw something untoward I'd be hesitant to report it unless I was 110% sure, because I could not be confident that the OU would back me up. It seems they value the money from the restaurant too much. So I haven't been there since then, and I haven't been to the owner's new place either because the same consideration applies.
I'm a big fan of this small clean ~30 seat VHQ place in Rego Park.
under $10 you get a Shwarma on fresh lafa, fresh cut chips, and small Israeli salad bar.
you can even watch Israeli satellite TV while you fress.
they have kebabs & burgers too, but I go for the Shwarma.
a larger nicer place with great bargain priced mediteranian meat dishes is;
Hapina has an affordable "Jerusalem" lafa wrap, which is cubed meat with
Shwarma seasoning and Falafel style salad fillings, which I always order,
and it includes a wide assortment unlimited salad bar for just over $10.
sorry I can't help much with Burgers - food wise, I consider them too boring.
re: Joe Berger
Falafel Kitchen and Piyaz (same ownership) in Hillcrest has excellent 100% lamb schwarma.
Thank you all SO much! We're so excited to try these places. The place in washington heights sounds so so far away from williamsburg but I'm tempted to try it as well--the last time we had Shwarma (2 years ago) it was in Ben Yehuda street in Israel so the bar is set pretty high :) I will report back once we've tried some of these places. Another question I have is does anyone know of a "chumusia" --a place that serves fresh chummus with various toppings such as fool, eggs, pickles etc that is kosher? I was reading reviews of some place in Manhattan but it didn't mention that it is kosher...
And Joe Berger, I agree, burgers don't compare to a shwarma in a laffa but our daughter (3yo) is so excited to have the experience of ordering a burger--she saw such a scenario in a Bernestien bears book and--- so we were thinking we might as well go somewhere good!
re: ravenport
If you are in Brooklyn, you are working way too hard to find good
"Ben Yehuda" style food - right near you is;
Olympic Pita, Original Schwarma, Pita Off The Corner, Falafel Haim,
also Schnitzel King and Schnitzi.
I'd start locally first, then eat your way to the other Boro's.
Best advice it to pick a place that is packed and busy,
that makes the food fresher from the higher turn over,
and probably means the food is good too...
one warning if you are from out of town;
NY Jews can get nasty and competitive when they are hungry,
so don't be surprised if a busy place is not
as accommodating as you'd like.
re: Joe Berger
thanks joe berger, I've been to olymic many times with dh-very good food but very often had very rude service--the other places you mentioned I've never been to and we're looking to try !!
and as far as starting locally--strange as it sounds even though williamsburg is in Brooklyn, it's not very easy to get to flatbush from there.
re: ravenport
Email me privately (firstname.lastname@example.com) for public transport directions from wherever you are to the various restaurants
Just wanted to thank everyone again and report back. We got to go to Carlos and gabby's for a burger and were very pleased. Our 3 yo was so happy and the food was fresh and well priced. Wish we had time to go back and try other stuff but I guess that will be next time.
For Shwarma we wen to Pitta off the grill (or corner?) but I wasn't too delighted with it. The salad bar selection and quality was really nice but the shwarma was a bit bland and blah. Maybe because it was chicken not turkey? not sure. We also tried Olympic which was really good. again I wish we had time to come back another time for falafel or try the other places mentioned but it will have to be the next visit. thanks again for the recs!
Best burger by far is Burgers Bar on Coney Is. Ave in Brooklyn. It's fresh, its delicious, and you get all the sides and sauces known to mankind. You can get regular, spicy, homemade or lamb.
Best Shawarma is Pita off the Corner on East 2nd and Ave. P in Brooklyn. $11 for a pita sandwich and its enormous enough that I almost never finish it because its just so huge. In the neighborhood, there's also Schnitzel King, Shawarma Ave, Olympic Pita and Famous Pita but Pita off the corner trumps them all.
re: kosherinthecity
I love love love Pita off the Corner! I have to disagree with Burger's Bar, terrible service and quality has gone downhill. Now it's just another greasy kosher place.
My favorite place for a delicious burger is Noah's Ark on Grand St in the LES. I've worked my way through almost the entire new burger menu they started offering a couple years ago. All were quite good but my favorite is the Brunch all Day burger. Yes, this is a sunny-side-up egg atop the burger, as well as grilled pastrami. I don't want to think about the fat calories but this is totally, absolutely, worth it.

Sometimes, Human wanting
Is not, what we really want
And, memories, of what we had
Play, with our heart, and taunt.
All the wishing, and wanting
Can, haunt us to the grave
But, those things we desire
Is, the only worthy, slave.
At times, something simple
Like, a place to lay our head
Comfort, of arms holding you
With, no words needed, said.
To look deep, into the eyes
To see, the love that's there
Is the only thing, that it takes
To tell, how much, we care.
Miles and years may be, many
But desire, transcends them all
It can be sent on the wireless
Of the heart, and the mind's, call.

November 26, 2014
Topeka police are on the look out for the suspects behind a series of four shootings, three of which occurred in a half hour span, since Wednesday afternoon.
One of the victims was a five year-old girl grazed in the initial shooting. She was hurt when shots were fired at an occupied vehicle in the 2600 block of SE 11th around four o'clock Wednesday.
Initially no one was thought to be hurt in the incident, until the girl showed up at the hospital a little more than four and a half hours later wounded by what were thought to be fireworks. Authorities later connected her injury to the earlier shooting.
Then, at 3:25 a.m. the following morning, officers responded to a call about a shooting in the 3300 block of SE Freemont. Five minutes later, another call came of gunshots in the 1700 block SE Madison.
At 3:50, Topeka police received word of more shots in the 2700 block of SE Madison. No one was hurt in any of those three shootings.
The parties involved are believed by authorities to know each other.
The investigation into all the shootings continues. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 368-9400 or CrimeStoppers at 234-0007.

The Name-Dropper: How North Jersey honors Casimir Pulaski
* Embedded tablet in sidewalk at southwest corner of Ridge Road and Pulaski Drive in North Arlington
* Bust on Main Avenue, about 200 feet west of Locust Avenue in Wallington (photo)
* Bust in Eastside Park in Paterson
Who was Lee of Fort Lee, Votee of Votee Park and Merritt of Camp Merritt? The Name-Dropper gives you the lowdown on some of the people whose names you see on public statues, memorial plaques, park signs, highways and even some local streets around North Jersey. Have suggestions? Email them to email@example.com and put Name-Dropper in the subject field.
He was a member of 18th century Polish nobility, the young son of a count, who fought the Russian occupation of his country. Casimir Pulaski was just 19 when he joined his father in the crusade, which turned out to be a losing cause but one that spread the young Pulaski's reputation as a resolute fighter and expert cavalryman across Europe and to Britain's American colonies, which he defended.
Pulaski may lack the name recognition of other American generals of the Revolution – Henry Knox, Marquis de Lafayette, "Mad" Anthony Wayne, the beloved George Washington – but due to his exploits he is a member of a very exclusive club. Pulaski, for his service to the budding nation, is just one of seven people ever granted honorary U.S. citizenship, and his name is emblazoned on memorials in three North Jersey communities with large Polish populations that hold him dear.
With the end of the Polish struggle – it had looked promising for Poland until Austria and Prussia went to Russia's aid – Pulaski traveled to Paris, where he gained an audience with the American ambassador, Benjamin Franklin. Franklin knew of the dashing Pulaski's reputation as a tenacious cavalry commander, and Pulaski, in turn, offered his services to the American purpose.
Franklin wrote to Washington urging him to meet with Pulaski and give him command of the Colonial army's unschooled cavalry.
"He may be highly useful to our service," Franklin wrote.
The introductions made by mail were followed by Pulaski's voyage to America, where, in a letter to Washington, he offered the much quoted but nevertheless prophetic greeting: "I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it."
Washington accepted him, and successfully lobbied Congress to approve Pulaski as a brigadier general with the assignment of "commander of the horse."
He and his cavalry troop, known as Pulaski's Legion, fought alongside Washington in the 1777 ruinous Battle of Brandywine in Pennsylvania. Washington ordered a retreat and was covered by Pulaski's men, who slowed, but could not stop, the advancing British force, which eventually seized Philadelphia.
When Pulaski was forced to withdraw, he joined Washington in spending the brutal winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. As the winter eased, Pulaski led his troops in several skirmishes in southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to Michael Lee Lanning in his book, "American Revolution 100: The Battles, People and Events of the American War for Independence."
Lanning, a military historian, notes that Pulaski, for all his courage and derring-do, had to contend with his own strong ego. For one thing, Pulaski insisted that no foreign commander serving the Americans – with the exception of Lafayette – could outrank him while at the same time announcing that he himself would accept orders from no one but Washington and Congress.
Though Pulaski was revered as "father of the American cavalry," Lanning believes the cavalry charge that cost Pulaski his life during the siege of Savannah in 1779 was unnecessary.
In another account, Theodore P. Savas and J. David Dameron, in their book, "A Guide to the Battles of the American Revolution," say that Pulaski led his fateful charge to end a withering British artillery barrage against Colonial forces and their French allies.
"Armed with pistols and sabers, [Pulaski's] horsemen galloped toward the redoubt at top speed," Savas and Dameron write. "The British easily mowed them down with musket fire. Although the charge was heroic, it ended quickly and disastrously with the death of General Pulaski and many of his men."
Pulaski had been hit with grape shot. He lingered, unconscious, and died two days later. He was 32.
Two hundred thirty years after his death, Casimir Pulaski, by act of Congress, became an honorary citizen of the United States in 2009, joining the likes of Winston Churchill, Raoul Wallenberg and Mother Teresa.
Earlier, in 1929, a bust of Pulaski was erected in Eastside Park in Paterson by the Americans of Polish Descent of Paterson.
In 1955, the North Arlington Council named a pleasant residential street "Pulaski Drive." A memorial tablet is embedded in the Pulaski Drive sidewalk at Ridge Road.
