Nothing more humbling than facing someone with a significantly lower LSAT and realizing you're out-smarted, out-classed and of course, out-gunned. Having transfers around shatters the deilcate illusion that you are where you are because of some ineffable gift.

I personally never had a problem with any - some were cool, some weren't, just like the rest of the student body.

Can we stop doing these podunk second cities and cut to New York? Seriously?

11:33 - I've worked and lived in Chicago and New York - wish I could agree, but you're wrong on all counts (except cost of living).

11:43 -

As far as women go, New York is an actress/model hub - in fact, New York has some of the best-looking women (and people) in the world (second to handful of international cities and perhaps L.A.).

As far as pizza goes, that's really a matter of personal taste - I prefer thinner crust, lighter slices than Chicago-style pizza (which I do appreciate from time to time!).

I'll grant you steaks and beaches, and the summers are less garbag-ey in Chicago.

But overall, the energy here (in NY) is just unbeatable. The diversity, the sense of scale, the options - it's why NY residents pay the (admittedly *high*) price to live here.

12:25 - I grew up in the Bronx actually, lived here most of my life, but made plenty of time to live and work abroad. I have nothing to prove, and if you actually read my post(s), you'd see that I think Chicago has a lot to offer. It isn't New York, but it's a wonderful city in its own right.

I have a complicated relationship with New York - I'm a big advocate, but I'm also the first to count its (many) shortcomings as a functional metropolis. What it lacks, it lacks in spades, and what it has, it shares with few - but it's the single best place in America to live, work, and play.

Sonnenschein conclusively puts to rest any notion that it is not a TTT. Despicable.

"Liberal douch anti-capitalist screed"? Clearly your understanding of "capitalism" is as lacking as your intellect.

A few that spring to mind:

Four Seasons
Lever House
Donatella & David Burke
Del Friscoe's (standard steak power lunch)
Bar Americain

Aquavit sucks for lunch - I have never been happy there.

Anyone seriously advocating you take summers to Per Se for lunch must have an obscene budget - your prix fixe will run at least $250 per person.

Never been to the Modern but it seems to be highly recommended.

Vong = also sucks.

This is some pretty intense material, Lat.

Great news - v. happy with this result!

Roy Pearson was devastated to learn that his bowtie lawsuit would also be doomed.

I would have liked a splice of SDO and the girl with the lollipop.

102: As you say.

Fail.

18 - get a life. Rock Band is awesome.

338 - Obama
200 - McCain

I cannot believe the state of the economy right now. Friends who left firms to clerk are having very tough times getting interviews at other firms and no guarantee whatsoever of going back to their firms.

Those with jobs - HANG ON TIGHT

To the rest - GOOD LUCK.
