If it’s not fresh, it’s not ‘dirty’ enough for Banks
Ever since my favorite Cup Noodles was removed from the intersection of Broadway and 45th, all the advertisements in Times Square do nothing for me except justify wearing sunglasses at night.

Atticus lures hungry poets
A man in a ski cap, jeans and ratty Adidas shoes slung his backpack higher on his back and walked into Atticus Bookstore and Cafe. Finding an open spot on the floor, he rang a bell and began a poem of his own invention. “People of Atticus, I hope I will not offend when I say, ‘I don’t like poetry, I’m here for the free bread,’ ” he said. April is National...
