Reviews are where an experience meets ideas. You go to a concert, a movie, an art exhibition, a restaurant,
and it makes you think. Maybe the experience is a 21 for a brand-new idea; maybe it 22 something
you’ve been thinking about for a while. It becomes something worth writing about.
The job of the reviewer is to get both the experience and the ideas into words — and into proportion. In
some ways, a review is the same as reporting: The facts have to be correct and presented in a coherent way.
And in some ways, a review is 23 reporting: your subjective experience and your reactions —
intellectual, emotional, visceral — are a big part of it.
A review is not about the reviewer. A reader does not care about when the reviewer got to a location or
his mood or the weather that day. It’s about what a person experienced when he met his work head-on with full
attention: what his knowledge tells him about the work, what his immediate experience added to that and where
the work can lead next. You might be writing about something your readers don’t know about 24 you
have discovered; help them share that sense of discovery. Or you might be bringing a new 25 to
something familiar. Make it convincing. It’s about feeling, learning, thinking, judging, and making all that vivid
to your reader.

businessmen of the times, he expected his eldest son to follow him into the family firm.
But Louis Bernstein, known to everyone as Lenny (he officially changed his name to Leonard as a
teenager), had different ideas. The family had no musical roots, but ten-year-old Lenny found himself drawn
obsessively to his aunt’s piano. No matter that his father remained vehemently 27 the notion that he
should make music his life, there was but one path ahead.
For all his early misgivings, Samuel later 28 that his son was a genius. In his passport, Leonard
Bernstein simply called himself a “musician”—characteristic humility from a man whose broad 29 are
unique in musical history. Bernstein was a conductor whose interpretive gifts over the course of five decades
shone light on the classics from Haydn to Mahler, Bartok to Stravinsky. He was a fine concert pianist and
pioneering broadcaster; an educator, Harvard lecturer, writer and humanitarian; a husband, father, lover. Such

With the growing number of solo diners, hotels and resorts are making sure they are comfortable. The
Plume restaurant in Washington, D.C., created a program for solo diners last fall; several of its 18 seats are
dedicated to diners who want a sense of privacy yet a feeling of inclusion. “The seating for this type of diner
doesn’t include being in the center of the room,” said the restaurant’s manager, Sean Mulligan. “We make sure
they are not near the entrance or exit for privacy and 31 while making sure the diners have items like
newspapers and magazines delivered to their table if they need it.”
At Metropolitan by Miami Beach, a dinner-for-one menu made its 32 earlier this year, with
recommended seating at the corner of the hotel’s terrace and the Traymore bar 33 for people-watching
along a pedestrian area of Miami Beach Drive. At the Atwood Restaurant in Chicago, which was renovated
last year, the general manager said an extension of the bar area was intentionally 34 into the lobby to
attract the solo diner.
