...JOHN BIRMINGHAM, 43, author If I was visiting, I'd stay at the Emporium Hotel, tel: (61-7) 3253 6999, so I would be close to its cocktail bar, which is very chichi. I'd throw down some nice champagne and then head out for dinner. If I was looking for a loud Sydney-style restaurant I might go to Era Bistro, tel: (61-7) 3255 2033, at West End, where the food is edgy and there's plenty of hubbub. Or I might try an old favorite in the city, E'cco Bistro, tel: (61-7) 3831 8344, where...
...wouldn't expect a guy wearing muddy boots and worn moleskin pants to saunter past the formally dressed footmen at London's Fortnum & Mason, the famous Piccadilly food emporium that's a favorite of the British royals. But Steve Benbow, 38, is not your average fancy-food consumer. He is one of many urban apiarists, or beekeepers, in the British capital, and although he usually enters Fortnum's by the staff door and heads to the roof, where he oversees four beehives, some days he can't resist stopping on the grand ground floor for the thrill of seeing...

Then it was off to Formaggio Kitchen on Huron Avenue, about a 15 minute walk from the Yard near the Quad, where I picked up a block of Greek halloumi cheese. My third stop was Cardullo’s in Harvard Square. I had to gather a few items...
Shenzhen may be a lovely place to visit, but I wouldn't know. Like many tourists to this southern Chinese boomtown, I barely got past the first shopping mall after the border crossing, Luohu Commercial City, an emporium of counterfeit goods at bargain prices. On its six floors, you can purchase nearly anything: handbags, golf clubs, watches, couture dresses, even pharmaceuticals. But be sure to hit the ATM first...
...quibbling already, I'm getting ahead of myself. I acquired my iPhone shortly after 6:00 on launch day at the Apple store in midtown Manhattan, a subterranean emporium located underneath the plaza in front of FAO Schwartz and accessible through a crystal portal leading to a spiral staircase, befitting the fairy-tale mood. The crowd was astounding, hundreds of people (granted, many of them were TV crews) gawking and yelling and cheering the first customers to emerge with their iPhones. In a way it's disturbing to watch America fall in love with a piece of technology again...
