10/11   Are there any CSUA'ers in NYC, or who know things to do in NYC? steven
        and I are doing the tourist thing.
        \_ I thought the Empire State Building was much better than I
           expected it to be. The museums are all stellar, especially the
           Met, MoMA, and Natural History Museum.  Lots of good
           plays/shows/concerts. Top notch restaurants. Worth seeing the Statue

        I have never been to Paris. What should I do with my time? The
        Orsay Museum is open until 10pm Thursdays and I will be there on
        a Thursday, so that is one option. I heard a Seine cruise is nice.

4/21    Which restaurant allows bringing your own wine bottle?
        \_ McD's usually seems cool with it. Homeless winos do it all the time.
        \_ Most restaurants that serve wine will let you with a corkage fee.
         \_ But unless you are bringing a high end wine it is considered
            a bit tacky to bring your own.

PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION AP A rat runs between chairs inside a KFC-Taco Bell restaurant in Greenwich Village in New York in this Feb. NEW YORK -- In the first complaint the city health department received about a rodent-infested fast-food restaurant, someone said a rat fell from the ceiling as he or she was eating. Greenwich Village earned a passing grade following a February inspection. The reports cited systemic failures and a health department inspector's "lack of diligence." The inspector resigned the same day the reports were released. A report from the health department found plenty of shortcomings, such as the city's lack of an "adequate mechanism" to respond to repeated restaurant complaints and for focusing too heavily on signs of rodent activity rather than conditions that foster infestations. Department of Investigation, however, did not hold back in its criticism. Its investigation "found a disturbing lack of diligence on the part of the public health sanitarian who inspected the restaurant as well as a breakdown in the supervision of the inspector," DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said. The department said the inspector, Cemone Thomas, "underreported the rodent-related findings and failed to take proper action ... The next day, video shot through the restaurant window of rats scampering throughout the eatery before it would have opened for the day surfaced. The city dispatched a second inspector, who ordered the place closed. The department said evidence in the case suggested that Thomas simply couldn't be bothered to do a more comprehensive report because she might have been trying to "avoid the additional time it would have taken for further enforcement steps." Thomas' lawyer didn't return telephone messages left by The Associated Press at his office Monday. A Department of Health spokesman, Geoffrey Cowley, said Thomas was a "superb inspector who made a very serious mistake." Thomas resigned before the contents of the rat reports were released publicly. She would have been fired if she hadn't quit, Cowley said. In response to the KFC/Taco Bell fiasco, Cowley said "a lot of things are going to change." The parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc. YUM), said it had asked a leading rat expert to review company standards at its New York outlets. The company apologized for the rats and said it was working to ensure another infestation didn't happen again.
