...short walk down Mass. Ave. from Harvard Square brings you to Chez Henri, a French-Cuban inspired restaurant with soooo much going for it. For starters, step inside and be greeted by K.C. Cargill, the friendly host who places patrons immediately in a small dining room at an intimate table. The interior is decorated in wine-red tones, with a romantic touch of soft glowing light. The ceiling lamps at Henri's are especially interesting--each seems to be a one-of-a-kind piece of art made with copper wire, scarlet colored glass and fiery tear -shaped bulbs. These...

The contrast between an exceptionally soft and sweet dish, and the crispy spicy flavor of the other keeps the palate on edge right up until the main course (which, incidentally, immediately follows the silent removal of empty appetizer dishes).

According to the brochure, "wildly popular rum cocktails...Joe recommends Westerhall Rum with a Renwood Cigar. Watch for details of our Cuban Rum & Cigar Tasting event coming soon!" Mon Dieu, quelle amusement...
...famous libel case--psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson against the New Yorker's Janet Malcolm--turned in part on whether an interview took place over goat cheese at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., or breakfast at Malcolm's Manhattan home. Details matter, especially when they wound real people. Reich is safe: his meals--lunch, breakfast, whatever--were with public figures. Not so the reader who thought Reich was being true to what happened...
