This weekend, we visited the monument to fashionable pretension that is RL, the Ralph Lauren restaurant. The first time we dined there, about a year ago for lunch, our level of suspicion was high – can a fashion designer really create a restaurant concept worth bothering with? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. RL, despite a few flaws, is a competent restaurant and, more than that, showcases many dishes that the rest of the food world......

This prompted Anafador, whose lease on the café runs through 2013, to file a lawsuit fighting the eviction notice. Anafador's lawsuit throws a wrench......

After 9/11, the school of thought was that restaurant patrons wanted something that would soothe the mind as well as sate the belly.
