Dozens are buzzing outside of the tents filling up in McPherson Square as the remainders of vegetable ratatouille and rice are distributed in red plastic bowls. One man climbs atop the statue of James B. McPherson, shrouded in a blue tarp, and kisses him. Inside the tarp, a scrabble game is being played. Outside, a homeless man and an Occupier are battling each other in chess. Surrounding them are a number of supporters who have never slept at McPherson Square but have come on this night in anticipation of the police's next move.

"Hot dog french style"

SCIOLINO, Elaine, A Parisian Hot Dog, Hold the Snark, The New York Times, February 14, 2012.

Abstract : Chef Yannick Alléno revisits the famous hot dog.

Quotation : “Despite having three Michelin stars at his restaurant in the Meurice hotel, Yannick Alléno considers himself a man of the people. His parents owned a modest bistro in a Paris suburb, where they served croque-monsieurs and sliced ham on buttered baguettes. “I was born behind the counter,” he said. He hates dishes that seem as if they came out of a chemistry class.

Whenever he goes to New York, he eats a hot dog from a street vendor. “I adore them,” he said. “Even with the bad water they sit in all day.”

It wasn’t much of a leap, then, for Mr. Alléno to create his own chien chaud.

Actually it is a veau chaud (pronounced voh show) — literally hot veal — a slender nine-inch sausage made from edible bits of a cooked calf head, or tête de veau. (The brains, eyes and fat are left out, and egg white and tiny threads of veal added to hold it together.)

The sausage is wrapped in a casing and boiled in a stock of carrots, leeks, onions and cloves. Then the casing is removed and the fragile sausage put in a crusty multigrain baguette. [...]”

Le nozze di Figaro

By "Royal opera house".
February 12, 2012.

Abstract : The final production of The Royal Opera ’s Mozart - Da Ponte cycle is the glorious comedy of The Marriage of Figaro .

Extract :  "Mozart’s great score has a wealth of famous numbers and gives the chance for especially fine singing. The revival is fortunate to have an exceptional cast of internationally acclaimed singers in these roles. Ildebrando D’arcangelo plays the quick-witted manservant - under the baton of Antonio Pappano, Music Director of The Royal Opera for all but the final performance. While the attempts of Figaro to protect his betrothed Susanna from the designs of Count Almaviva provide the starting point, the action soon draws in the entire chateau household to reveal poignant undercurrents."

Venue: Royal opera house, 41 Covent Garden PiazzaLondon, WC2E 8RF.

Index terms : La nozza di Figaro, London, operas, Royal opera house.
