Clarion Hotels: Clara Bow Meet New Orleans. New Orleans, Clara: The Clarion Grand Boutique Hotel

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 22:05:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - Just about everyone who plans on visiting New Orleans thinks about visiting one place before any other: The French Quarter. I’ve been guilty of it. On my very first visit, I stayed at a place on St. Philip that specializes in renting apartments for...

Do You Really Want To Spend Your Anniversary At First Wok?

Sat, 9 Jun 2001 00:09:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - I am very much a product of my environment. Who I am and how I approach the world are based on twenty-three years of experience (sort of. Those first years of life when I didn’t speak couldn’t honestly be characterized as an experience. Well, maybe for...

The Most Fun One Can Have While Experiencing Intellectual Torture

Thu, 31 May 2001 22:26:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - Deciding to spend a semester at another school is not a decision that one makes easily. The first year at law school is, to put it mildly, a challenging one. Like soldiers in a unit, students band together against a common enemy – first-year exams. And,...

Rare Air

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 23:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - The City That Never Sleeps. When people hear New York, their minds are filled with visions of a bustling city replete with endless excitement and assorted feasts for the senses. Now, I’m not going to deny that this perception isn’t true – I’ve...

On A Clear Day You See, Well, A Thousand Feet

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 22:36:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl -

I've always been attracted to intimate spaces - my high school only had 120 students, my favorite restaurant can only seat ten, and my apartment reaches maximum capacity at two people. Maybe it's a reaction to living in a large city or a need to...

Yes, People Eat at Home in New Orleans: A Hotel Alternative

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 20:13:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl -

Nobody experiences New Orleans in the same way. Some think of the excesses of Bourbon Street. Others, the quiet beauty of the Garden District. However you may remember your time in this city, you will remember it. The first step in enjoying your...

Six Degrees of Carl Jung

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl -

If you've read my overall review of Manhattan College, you know that this school holds a special place in my heart because of the tremendous experience I had there. A large part (but not all) of why I love this school is the Psychology Department...

Is Avoiding a Nervous Breakdown Worth a 1000 Dollars?

Wed, 17 May 2000 17:15:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - What does a person do when they are faced with one of the most difficult standardized tests administered? When I was faced with this issue, people were throwing advice at me: study on your own, take a prep course, don't study at all so that you can go in...

A Modern Classic in the Upper East Side

Tue, 16 May 2000 03:32:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - When I first go to a restaurant, I put it in a category though not the classifications one might think of (Chinese, Italian, etc...) Instead, I classify restaurants by why I should go there. There's the first date restaurant (Plug: read my review of...

Shanghai Bound

Mon, 15 May 2000 01:25:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - This is my new favorite "group restaurant." What's a group restaurant? Well, a group restaurant is a place where you can go with a group of your friends, sit, eat, and talk all evening and not feel that your waiter is waiting for you to leave...

A Sleepy Restaurant in the City that Never, Well, You Know

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 08:31:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - I don't know if I am the only person who has a place that they always go to on first dates but I do. When I was living in New York (I make my academic-year home near Palo Alto, CA), I always went to Ottomanelli's (the one on 86th and York Avenue, not the...

My Live-in Dentist

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 01:59:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - I am a cleanliness fanatic. My windows sparkle, I can see my reflection on my kitchen counter, even my curtains have a nice gloss to them (I still can't find my Property class notes but at least my apartment looks clean and organized.) So, when my best...

Why My Local Kinko's Went Out of Business

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 21:58:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - I'm a simple girl with simple needs. When I started looking for a scanner, I wasn't looking for one that could replicate high-density graphics. What I was looking for was, basically, a simple copier. Going to Kinko's every time I needed to copy my notes...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: My Favorite Bedwarmer (Sorry, Sweetheart)

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 05:09:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - When I graduated from college last May, those of my friends who were in law school (a number that many statisticians would determine as statistically impossible), told me that I had to get a laptop. So, in my quest for success, I began my research. I...

A Daily Moment of Zen

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 04:28:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl - I have watched the Daily Show since the era of Craig Kilborn. His sharp, sarcastic delivery and material provided a welcome edge to the often absurdist nature of broadcast news. When he left for his own show on CBS, I mourned the loss of him and his Five...

Great Looking, Less Filling

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 03:14:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl -

When you pick up Allure at the newsstand, you are not looking for articles on international affairs or op-ed pieces about the ills of the public school system. When I want intellectual discourse, I'll read Brill's Content or The New Yorker. When I...

A Hidden New York Gem

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 02:36:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nylawgirl -

In New York State, there are many undergraduate programs to consider. When you think of New York, Columbia and NYU are the first that often spring to mind. However, it would be an error to only look at the obvious. Manhattan College is a hidden gem...
