NYC - Not the Real America

But, despite the chain's gracious offerings and encouragement of "current and former members of our armed forces to let loose and have some much deserved fun," he, and all of his fellow veterans, should steer clear of TGI Friday's in Union Square.

The TGI Friday's at Union Square (a 646 number, natch) told me that it was not participating in the Veterans Day promotion. This appears to be the norm in New York.

I called a random selection of "respectable" Big Apple eateries including the Gramercy Tavern, Le Bernadin, One if by Land, Two if by Sea, Mercer Kitchen, and Brooklyn's The Grocery. All told me the same thing; there are no specials for veterans, currently serving or otherwise, on Veterans Day. This included TGI Friday's Union Square-mate Blue Water Grill. The receptionist at Per Se asked me, "What day?"

Death of an Acting Giraffe Raises Science Question

A giraffe named Hamley, who regularly appeared on the British TV series Wild at Heart (which inspired the short-lived CW show Life Is Wild), was killed in a South African reserve on Monday by lightning strike. Lightning strike. Does this happen all the time?! How does an animal avoid lightning strikes when its neck is as tall as a tree? [BBC]
