The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when

the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say

“sunshine”.

I

left

for

the

land

of

warmth

and

vitamin

C(

C),

thinking

of

beaches

and

orange

trees.

When

we

touched

down

to

blue

skies

and

warm

air,

I

sent

up

a

small

prayer

of

gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in

the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of

cold- weather root vegetables-

was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved

to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1

p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the

red- painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large,

soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed

a

broken,

(

promise,

I’ve

refused

to

buy

winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home

they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless.

But

I homed in,

with

uncert

ainty, on one particular

table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These

were

the

real

deal-

and

at

that

moment,

I

realized

that

the

best

part

of

Sarasota

in

winter

was

going

to

be

eating

things

that

back

home

in

New

York

I

wouldn’t

be

experiencing

again

for

months.

Delighted

as

I

was

by

the

tomatoes

in

sight,

my

happiness

deepened

when

I

learned

that

Brown’s

Grove

Farm

is

one

of

the

suppliers

for

Jack

Dusty,

a

newly

opened

restaurant

at

the

Sarasota

Ritz

Carlton,

where-

luckily

for

me-

I

was

planning

to

have

dinner

that

very

night.

Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou

Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality

with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among

the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly

The Persistence of Memory.

There is also

L’Enigme sans Fin

from 1938, works on paper, objects,

and

projects

for

stage

and

screen

and

selected

parts

from

television

programmes

reflecting

the

artist’s showman qualities.

The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the

world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through

the brain.

The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (

无限

). “From the

infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing

Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in

Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.

The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (

合作

)with the Museo

Nacional

Reina

Sofia

in

Madrid,

Spain,

and

with

contributions

from

other

institutions

like

Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café

La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday

night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking

and

the

“You

are

forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”

Lehann

e told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”

A caf

é society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un

-French. But

Lehanne’s

psychology

café

is

about

more

than

knowing

oneself:

It’s

trying

to

help

the

city’s

troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the

French

lifestyle-

longer

working

hours,

a

fast

food

boom

and
