  9. Personally, I would not recomend this place. But I suppose that's the beauty of it being America.... The Burg, however, I would give a thumbs up...it's my family's "ancestral home" and it has great food. If it's still around, there's a great Italian place by the Trenton Train Station...anybody remember the name of it? Expensive but excellent.... right across from the train staiton is lorenzo's ...steak place....excellent in the 60-70 ealry 80's....now very overpriced for what you get and they last 3 times there very disapointing...but a very attrractive bar with good cocktails..when i was a child they had water running under the bar ...it may have call a trough (sp)

  23. I think you lead a sheltered life -- sheltered, at least, from the kind of spectacularly boorish arrogance that can be produced by the combination of 26-year-old male + ridiculously inflated salary + aggressively hierarchical corporate ethos that constantly promotes the message that one is either a "player" (i.e., somebody who "matters," and thus whose every whim shall be indulged) or pond scum. The financial industry is particularly gifted at putting together this combination of factors, though large white-shoe law firms also field a strong team. The arrogance tends to be particularly unpleasant in the case of young men, because within the context of their offices, it is they who are the pond scum, regularly peed on by (and required to indulge the whims of) the real "players," who are typically at least 10 years older, with even more inflated incomes. In the time honored way of things, the young men then go looking for people that they themselves can pee on. It's not a pretty sight. Editing for spilling i had a boss like that in 80's..he was "IT" and everyone ellse was pond scum...i always knew when he got home at night, however nasty he was to me, his wife was 10x nastier to him...probably kicked his dog in the wee hours when i was not around
