bonnie lenore kyburz replied to the topic Restaurant recommendations and more in the forum
2014 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 12 years agoYeah, Christy’s right. I’ve heard RAVES about Girl & the Goat, and I am dining there for the first time with a colleague this week. So while I don’t yet have first hand knowledge, I have only heard about the love. Same for Little Goat; when we passed by on our way to Au Cheval, it seemed like a super hip and chilled out scene. Must go! Finally, if…[Read more]

In the same neighborhood, I’ve gotten strong recommendations from friends for Avec, Blackbird, and Maude’s Liquor Bar.
In other…[Read more]

2014 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 12 years ago(Abstract) If the defining task of an ordinary language philosopher is, in Stanley Cavell’s words, to “express, as fully as he [sic] can, his world, and attract our undivided attention to our own,” Virginia Woolf undoubtedly qualifies as such a philosopher. The novel in which she most explicitly thematizes acts of visual attention, To the Light…[Read more]
