A bit too many Asian-themed articles on this site?

I really enjoy the "Asian-themed" posts, because I've seen so many other places handle the subject matter less well and in a manner that's not as nuanced nor as fun. I think quantity-wise, it's actually more balanced and the effect is that the site doesn't treat Asian/Asian American food as some weirdo, exotic thing.

This also just reminds me of Aziz Ansari's bit on Slumdog Millionaire - at around 1:30 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO6oNlierSQ

Any kid-friendly restaurant suggestions around Lincoln Center?

Seconding Alice's if your niece likes fairies and things. Also, you can't go wrong with pizza and Rigoletto's on 69th and Columbus is pretty good and right by Magnolia Bakery for a little dessert treat.

Trichinosis in Free-Range Pigs: Cause for Concern, or Sloppy Editing and Writing?

just FYi the editors decided to append a note disclosing the funding source of the studies used:
"Editors' Note: April 14, 2009
An Op-Ed article last Friday, about pork, neglected to disclose the
source of the financing for a study finding that free-range pigs were
more likely than confined pigs to test positive for exposure to
certain pathogens. The study was financed by the National Pork Board."

I think it would be interesting to find out where these stores are closing and whether it's purely because of rising costs etc etc or if there are other factors like new coffee places providing competition.
