Tribute to the Center for Global Development (CGD)

Dennis Whittle has a nice post praising DMC. I couldn't agree more, even when the accepting on all matters with Nancy Birdsall and brilliant staff hired to DMC.

I am always grateful at the intensely personal perspective. She courageously in me at DMC when I had become persona non grata in the rest of the establishment of development, after my first book came out in 2001.She took a big risk in asylumn a dissident, considered by many as a source of discord and dangerous, just as she was trying to run DMC from zéro.Cela said much about such person was and is Nancy, and she deserved every bit of his future to make success DMC the premier institution it is today.

Tavern on the Green opening as visitors center

NEW YORK (AP) — A visitors center and food court will be opening at the once glitzy Tavern on the Green restaurant in New York’s Central Park.

The official unveiling is scheduled for Friday afternoon.

Visitors will no longer be able to dine on the restaurant’s once fancy fare. Instead vendors will supply trendy eats like Turkish tacos, Chinese dumplings and chili sesame noodle salad in the spot where the Tavern’s Crystal Room stood.

The original Tavern on the Green closed its doors on New Year’s Eve after 75 years. About three years ago, it was still one of the world’s top-grossing restaurants.
