Kids-only section on airplanes?
A fussy baby makes everyone anxious on a plane. Passengers are angered and sometimes even sent into a rage by the sounds of a crying child. The actual parents are uneasy because they know the noise is annoying, and then there are the flight attendants who are serving drinks to a plane load of edgy people. What’s the solution? A kids-only section on the airplane, according to a recent survey conducted by Skyscanner, a fare-comparison website. Nearly 60 percent of more than 2,000 travelers polled say they want airlines to create such a section, according to USA Today. Nearly 20 percent went as far to say they’d prefer child-free flights.…

When Balthazar first opened in 1997, the wait went around the block of this Parisian-style brasserie full of pretty young thangs. 13 years later, the wait is still there, but the tables are now populated by young families and Euro expats. Nonetheless, this Keith McNally joint never misses a beat. Its kitchen continuously sends out classic bistro fare that is en pointe. I have always been a big fan of Balthazar.
