The building at 236 Nassau St. bears the scars of a long history of turnover, and The Fortune City is the latest restaurant to occupy the space.The sign of Olde English Fish and Chips still hangs over the storefront, but a plywood sandwich board advertising Taiwanese specialty drinks is truer to the restaurant's current focus.The restaurant retains elements of past incarnations.
The holiday season is second only to the summer in terms of blockbuster film releases. And as this holiday season swings into high gear, there's something for everyone in theaters now.Opening last week was the much anticipated "Spy Game", starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.

There is no need to head to New York City for a drag show to find a little gender-bending entertainment this week.Cross-dressing, drunkenness, music and revelry are the order of the day in Samara Abrams-Primack '02's senior thesis production of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."The play recounts the story of Viola (Katie Flynn '02) and Sebastian (Peter Robinson '02), a set of fraternal twins who become separated in a shipwreck and are washed upon the shores of the dreamy world of Illyria.

Princeton will be seeing a lot less of BodyHype this fall. Or, to be more precise, Princeton will be seeing a lot less of BodyHype members' bodies this fall.
I feel as though I just took a quick trip through time. Taking in the Art Museum's newest exhibitions ? "Empire of Stone" and "Camera Women" ? has left me with a deeper understanding and appreciation for my world and the artistic heroes of the past few thousand years.Beady eyes peer out from all directions, complimenting stares of confidence and grimaces of pain, curly locks of hardened stone and smooth faces of make-up.
