Polymath and curmudgeon. Currently living in Wolfville and working as a winemaker while deciding what I want do do with my life.

  • Looking for a post-theatre dinner in NYC on a Monday night.?

    Two weeks from now I'll be visiting NYC, and a friend of mine is 'surprising' me with tickets to Avenue Q. Naturally, this means I'm going to want to surprise her back with dinner afterwards (probably around 11pm). Any recommendations?

    Ideally, I'd like somewhere reasonably classy, with a prix-fixe menu (three courses preferably) and a well stocked wine list. Veggie friendly (she may still be one, I havn't checked) is good, but it needs to have meat as well (I'm not, and never have been a memeber of the vegetarian party).

    Cuisine-wise, French or fusion would be great, Spanish or Italian very nice as well, but I'm willing to try anything that's new, exciting, and well put together.

    I'm hoping to spend about $150-200 for the meal, tip, tax and a bottle of wine included.

  • What happens if there's no party with a US Senate majority?

    Because the GOP hold the White House, they need 50 Senators for a majority; the Dems need 51. We can assume that Lieberman will sit as a Dem, but Bernie Sanders, who has been an Independent for over 20 years, isn't likely to. As a result, the Senate totals may end up at 50 Democrat, 49 GOP, and 1 Independent - denying anybody a majority.

    What happens in a situation like this? Does whomever eventually controls the Senate have to settle for the title 'Senate Plurality Leader'? Has it ever happened before?
