Oh, What a Tangled Vine

By Linnea Covington Walking into a wine bar can often feel a little daunting. You see a full list bursting with promise, but only a few names ring a bell.

One Year, Two Record-Breakers

Written by admin on March 4, 2010. Posted in Uncategorized

Inside the main gym at The Dalton School’s athletics building, there is a large banner listing the 1,000-point scorers in the school’s basketball history. The list stretches back decades and includes roughly a dozen entries. But until this year, it featured only one girl, a 2006 graduate named Mia Gliedman. This season, within a month

Ride ’Em, Cowboy

Written by admin on January 28, 2010. Posted in Uncategorized

Any time bulls come to Madison Square Garden, you usually know what to expect: A walking advertisement for big-and-tall clothing purveyors, some intense above-the-rim athleticism, a healthy dose of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah and, if the past decade is any indication, a loss for the Knicks. The bulls came to the Garden the weekend

Brief Break from the Courts

Written by admin on January 8, 2010. Posted in Uncategorized

Right now, Curtis Roby is enjoying a much-needed break, one that he hopes will help heal his balky shoulder. But it won’t last long. Just like the professional version, the world of college tennis offers little rest during a truncated off-season. After only 10 weeks of recuperation, Roby and the rest of the Dartmouth men’s

Hicks’ Lucky Kick

Written by admin on December 23, 2009. Posted in Uncategorized

On rare—very rare—occasions, a soccer goalie gets to have a moment of glory on offense. Maybe the keeper is tall and plays well in the air, so he is brought up to play corner kicks. Maybe he is an excellent ball striker and is good at penalty shots. Dan Hicks isn’t used in either way

Chowder House Ahoy

Written by admin on December 3, 2009. Posted in Uncategorized

As I’ve written before, given the tens of thousands of hungry people who come to the Lincoln Center area, it astounds me that there aren’t more really good restaurants there. Yes, Jean Georges is great, but it’s a bit pricey for most people; ditto A Voce, Per Se, Masa and Picholine. But the clever forces

Feeling the New York Love

Written by admin on December 3, 2009. Posted in Uncategorized

To the Editor: Nice article, and the timing couldn’t be better (“Let’s Hear It For New York,” Nov. 26). We tend to get caught up in the whirlwind that is our great city and forget why we are here. A friend who’s a former New Yorker but now an “outta towna” can help remind us,

Mr. Disconnected

Written by admin on December 3, 2009. Posted in Uncategorized

As I walk to the subway during the morning rush, I wonder why everyone except me is furiously working their thumbs or gabbing into their cell phones. Do my unmoving hands and lips mean that I am unpopular? I wasn’t always so self-conscious about being behind the communications curve. When cell phones first came on
