WHERE WILL I PARK MY "S" CAR? The Inq's Michael Klein reports that "The Westin [Hotel] in Liberty Place is rebranding its restaurant [] and the new name will be Winthorpe & Valentine."

Okay, I've got a few questions:
  • Will they be serving pork belly, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a bacon and lettuce and tomato sandwich?
  • Will the price of a glass of orange juice change every minute?
  • Will there be a special Merry New Year party?
  • Will there be clocks on the wall which tell time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad?

    Most importantly, is 1985 Jamie Lee Curtis involved somehow?

    Is this a good place to park our favorite quotes?  Because I'm still not over: "Perhaps I'll go to the movies.  By myself."

    Will the salmon be cured in red crushed velvet and accompanied by a garnish of Santa beard?

    Will there be special accommodations for people coming in scooting on a dolly?

    I'm also looking forward to their One Dollar menu items.

    Will there be a server dressed like a gorilla?

    I hope they name a sandwich The Dukes.

    "Oh, you went to Winthorpe and Valentine?  What did you have?"

    "It was The Dukes."

  11. Honest to God, when I met Sen. Franken at Netroots Nation, I couldn't get the image of him as a baggage handler in Trading Places out of my mind.

    I'm fairly confident that they have heard of coasters.

    It should have occurred to me that the One Dollar menu won't fly. In Philadelphia, it's worth fifty bucks.

    The music?  La Boheme.  It's an opera.
