ABOUT TIME!

SENATE CONFIRMS FIRST MUSLIM AMERICAN FEDERAL JUDGE The Senate voted 81-16 to confirm Zahid Quraishi to a lifetime seat on a U.S. district court, making him the first Muslim American federal judge in the 230-year history of the U.S. courts. 

Restaurants!  

Will we keep the out-of-door cubicles, a covet gift? Probably through the summer. 

Speaking of cubicles, a friend and I had lunch at Village Taverna on University Place. It was a few months ago, very chilly. The freezing waiter cheerfully delivered the food to our cubicle. Remember BYOB? meaning Bring Your Own Blanket. Their Avgolemono, a traditional Greek chicken soup was perfect. 

On 14th Street and 7th Avenue, there’s a terrific Cuban restaurant, Coppelia. The interior is charming and the buttermilk chicken is superb. As the Coppella sign says, Eat and drink because life is short.
