2018 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 8 years, 1 month agoIf you want to get away from the conference and eat the best/cheapest South Indian food, go to Temple Canteen. Take the 7 train to Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Ave, Woodside, or Citifield & catch a cab/Lyft from there. The ride won’t cost much & you’ll save $ on the food. Seriously cheap & you can get a feast. Open daily 8:30 to 9:30.

Alexa Alice Joubin deposited “Review of The Taming of the Shrew.” Shakespeare Bulletin 35.4 (2017): 700-703 in the group

Shrew is one of the Shakespearean comedies t…[Read more]
