I could never accept that Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte represented the modern New York woman. But I still left Sex and the City: The Movie laughing and entertained.

It doesn't matter than Gray's Papaya endorsed Obama, the essential issue is about our freedom of speech. So the Papaya Man wanted to enter the political conversation -- who doesn't?

I thought I had been summoned into Huntington's presence to discuss artistic matters. Instead, he remarked upon the title of the magazine and asked me what I thought of "Theatre."

If someone mentions the title of a book, A New York Woman may not have read it, but she probably has met the author.

My wife was a puddle of tears at Herb Alpert's show with his wife, singer Lani Hall, at Joe's Pub in New York last week. If you know Herb Alpert's music, you know it's not the type of thing that starts people spontaneously weeping.

While urban farmers often share the ethos championed by Michael Pollan, they're getting their hands dirty for a more pragmatic reason: They can't find quality, fresh food close to home.

"This primary is a good thing. Democrats have developed a way to raise $100 million, 80 percent in donations under $90. We have millions more registered voters, 50,000 new Democrats in Nevada."

I did a doubletake when I arrived home tonight to see the cover of New York magazine's "This Is New York, 1968 - 2008" issue. Apparently the cultural titans among us are very white and have penises.

The CEO mayor's logic may work in terms keeping a company's stock price afloat despite "belt-tightening" or lay-offs, but it doesn't fit one bit for schools.

What Bloomberg is prepared to dish out for New York's West Side is an ecological and aesthetic disaster, screwing our city in ways that even poor Eliot Spitzer could never think of doing.

As far as traffic goes, the lower half of Manhattan is sick and it's going to get sicker. Have you been to Times Square on a hot August day in this decade? It feels like being inside a grizzly bear's mouth.

My Swiss-German world did not promote cross-cultural values -- most of my schoolmates looked pretty much like me. But something was different about the way my parents raised me.

The play crashes and careens around the lives of this family in Oklahoma. From the pill-popping mother to the three daughters each with their own dark secrets, it's a play where the women take center stage.

It is increasingly unseemly for superdelegates to stand by as the Clinton campaign resorts to techniques that would have made Jesse Helms blush 20 years ago.

International Women's Day therefore needs to grow in importance not just to celebrate the achievements of suffragists but also to extend these rights -- in the United States and globally.

However unfair it may seem, I am blaming Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan for making NYC unlivable, unless you've got mad money or no conscience whatsoever.
