Jet Blue Terminal – NYC – passengers loading for Orlando – i.e. – Disneyworld –

Woman waiting on line – reacting to Jet Blue’s policy of not providing food beyond snacks and soda with the flight – holding pizza to eat on-board – not the usual single piece package – instead – full size 18” pizza – in full size pizza box –

Two quick thoughts –

Did she share it with her fellow passengers –

Did she leave off the anchovies –

Anxieties rose as large snow flakes fell from the sky and thousands of New Yorkers rushed to their local markets to stock up on supplies (food) before the fury of the BIG STORM struck with its full force - Chicago was being buried - the storm raged in the background of a CNN newscast from Washington recaping the politics of Irag which seemed meaningless at the moment - Jetblue cancelled 50 flights so as not to repeat the disaster of a week earlier - even NY City Parking Violations cancelled Alternate Side of the Street Parking - in advance of the BIG ONE -

Made it home as the fluries intensified - cooking a warm comfort food supper - enough to last if the storm shut down the city - settling into a deep cushioned chair as the Oscars from sunny Los Angeles began - getting totally sucked into the broadcast -

The night progresses - took a look outside a few times - an inch - maybe two - but news flashes between movie stars reassured me that the store was about to hit - morning would be a disaster for those who would have to go to work - a joy for hundreds of thousands of kids who would get to stay home -

Marty got his Oscar - flurries still hitting the ground - sleep -

Awake at sunrise - glance outside - white but no mounds - let the dog out - an inch - maybe two - same as the night - no school closings - no tragic paralysis of the morning rush -

What will be media whip up for next weekend - Orson Wells - where are you -

“Knowing somebody″ - used to be the sure way of getting a table at the “hottest” restaurant of the moment - add to that - opentable.com - and you could book the reservation online - provided the table was available -

Now - for $450 per year/ $45 per incident - primetimetables.com - promises to get you “in” - can the auction site - eFood.com be far behind -

January 22, 2007 — FORK IT OVER ONLINE FOR HOT RE - Braden Keil & Leonard Greene - If you don′t mind answering to someone else’s name or dropping $45 before you even leave home, you, too, can get reservations at such current hot spots as Daniel or Per Se.

PrimeTimeTables.com promises - for a fee - to take the pain and frustration out of getting into the city’s most popular restaurants, including new ones.



Also available is access to places in the Hamptons, Miami and San Francisco, with Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia on a future menu.



Diners can pay $450 annually or an as-they-go fee, usually $35 to $45 per reservation.
