Stephen Starr's restaurants are quite good and run the gamut (Continental, Morimoto, or Buddakan are best known).
The Chilean sea bass was incredibly tender and flavorful. The teriyaki filet mignon with wasabi mashed potatoes were outstanding — and that wasabi flavor was strong! I also enjoyed the garlic Shrimp Pil Pil. I also had grilled Thai chicken skewers, vegetable empanadas, a crispy calamari green salad, and some chicken and shrimp type of Cantonese spring rolls. I had strawberry shortcake, carrot cake, and some kind of chocolate peanut-butter cup...
I highly recommend this place. Try to sit upstairs where the chairs hang from the ceiling and swing...

I just ate at The Continental Mid-Town last night, and it was excellent.
Now that sounds more like Comair than either DL or CO.

People, I urgently need advice in how to pack something: Please see this thread that I started and if you have any (serious) ideas post them there.

The New York Yankees have indeed played professional football.The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat in the world.
Definitely go visit it.
I should have checked to see if they used Delta faucets.
Definitely go visit it.

Hopefully someone will give you an answer to your question.
However, I have been successful in securing upgrades lately, including a Boeing 757-200 aircraft this morning equipped with a Business Elite cabin...I would join you for dinner there if I could...

I'd do that for free. Hey, I would pay extra to not fly on one of those as long as they put me on a mainline flight
. The one RJ flight I was on this year that seemed to be overbook was switched at the last minute from a CRJ7 to a CRJ9.

My two bumps this year have been on CRJs - one a CRJ-900, one a CRJ-200. Haven't been bumped since February either - been close a couple of times, but they ended up not needing me
