Review: American Cut Bar & Grill in Englewood Cliffs

The restaurant, part of a small chain, specializes in classic dishes, including a huge porterhouse and a cold seafood bar.

Opinion

The Albany Pols Who Love Plastic Bags

Citing dubious principle, some legislators appear determined to undo a significant environmental benefit for New York City.

A deposit would be more effective.  I almost never see beer cans.
The scavengers would make trash collection almost impossible.

The fee may be the best way to discourage use.

Bretagne, a golden retriever who was believed to be the last search dog who was a responder on Sept. 11, 2011, was euthanized at 16. She served her country for over a decade, which included assistance after two hurricanes.

A woman who stopped to help resisted the urge to pick up and cradle the screaming child and instead held his head in place for a half-hour, his mother said.

This is a very lucky kid.
He not only survived but retained mobility.

Hundreds of members of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have passed through the doors of the residence on East 15th Street since 1948. Now it is all but empty.

It is out of my range.
The work has not gone away.
There must be a reason recruitment has failed.

Yes. 
I would like to get further out.

Snow in June? It’s Forecast for the Adirondacks

The higher peaks in northern New York, along with the Green Mountains in Vermont, are expecting up to two inches on Wednesday night into Thursday. This weather is unusual, but not unheard-of.

I like to visit for a few days.  I do not want to live so high and far north.
The place to settle requires thought.
