...York City. A sign discreetly advises, SEPHORA MAKEUP ARTISTS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATIONS, but the customers prefer to play in the aisles. In this Art Deco universe, all cosmetics are created equal. Witness the beauty behemoth Estee Lauder occupying the same space as stylish newcomers like BeneFit and Urban Decay. And despite the abundance of salespeople in black pantsuits and single black gloves, supervision is minimal. "I know what I'm looking for, so this works for me," says Elisa Lee, 25, of the hands-off approach...

The great poet could not have imagined these neighbors, and sadly, there will be no "West Side" show to see in Amherst this winter...
...time turkeys (and a couple of years ago changed the name of its outlets to Boston Market). The hope is that the world's largest restaurant chain can corner the high end of the fast-food market, while allowing the upstart to benefit from a global marketing infrastructure. At the same time, if Micky D's can pluck the rotisserie chicken chain from Chapter 11, the public may be spared further "go healthy" experiments such as the Arch Deluxe and the McLean sandwich. On the flip side, Boston Chicken, which fell into a free fall when it added sandwiches...
