One is often told that it is very wrong to attack religion because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. (Bertrand Russell)
Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)

Oh yes. Best pastries: Sabarsky. (I mean in a restaurant, as opposed to buying them to take out at Payard).
I haven't been to Orsay in about 6 months, and I didn't love it then (I went with SCS). But recently Steven and SCS went a couple of times and liked it. New chef I think?
Any recent L'Absinthe visits?

Best fish: Rosedale
Is Butterfield Mkt still on the go? (B/w 77 and 78 on Lex)? Excellent sandwiches. I ate them most days for lunch for 3 years running (long time ago now, 1991-1994).
There used to be a good Venezuelan (or am I wrong?) restaurant around 80th, I forget its name.

It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

Best baba ghanoush: Falafel Express (1406 Madison btw 97th/98th). [Note: I'm not a big fan of their hummus, which is too unctuous/tahini-laden for me.]
