    Best - or favorite - bars in DC

    I like the Round Robin at the Willard and the Reliable Source at the Hay Adams myself, or the Cosmos and National Press Club when I'm in town. But, I enjoy a cigar in Dc so that's the game changer--hence, the Patio outside the Round Robin or the garden at Cosmos(if you know someone) work if...

    Best Burger Ever!

    Try the Apple Pan in West LA--- their cheeseburger w/ hickory sauce is delightful; another good spot in LA is Father's Office(Santa Monica, actually) for their superb roquefort burger. On the east coast , I still have a hankering for the burger at "21," but not for it's price tag...

    Wardrobe for BigLaw?

    Cheesus: Then stick to the UVA look--crisp buttondowns and khakis and penny loafers. Silicon Valley VC's/ law firms etc are more forgiving than their Wall Street analogues. In the Valley, ideas and execution are of paramount importance and firms I know and deal with place a premium on the...

    Wardrobe for BigLaw?

    Bear in mind , gents, that the economy--especially the financial sector that includes 'Big Law" --has changed for the worse. In times like these, firms--indeed "Big Law" firms--are cutting back on everything from fresh flowers to hiring 2 nd year summers and full time, "fresh meat" associates...

    Wardrobe for BigLaw?

    Ok, first off, congrats. If you landed a summer stint at S & C, Cravath, Wachtell --firms of that tier-- well done. If not, still, well done, for you got a summer job in the midst of a recession. And that was a serious statement--just ask one of your amigos down the path at the B-school who got...

    Do you have a favorite soup?

    I had some Moravian garlic soup in Prague that was simply fantastic, with the slight downside that your breath can ignite the next shuttle launch; a wild boar soup in Germany that was so rich and thick you could eat it with a fork - and use the leftover for plaster-of paris; and a chicken...

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    and any kind of yoga-speak:"..honey, I need to 're-center', so can we skip sex tonight"?

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    and the use of "task" as a verb: "...Jack...do you know how a big a deal it is to re-task a satellite"?

    Is black suit an acceptable business attire?

    It's really idiosynchratic: if you are pale white, with blue eyes and blond hair, a black suit and a girlfriend named Heidi will get you a lunch reservation at the Eagle's Nest lickety split, or a callback on the next casting for the Six Feet Under sequel. If your complexion , build and hair...
