| Morgan Spurlock Splurges at Per Se, Loves Peanut-Butter Doughnuts
What do diners do when Morgan Spurlock, director of Super Size Me, is sitting at the next table? "They'll either watch what I'm eating," says Spurlock, "or they'll start to make excuses for what they're eating." No need for apologies, it turns out; though he hasn't eaten a Big Mac since the film (he's currently finishing shooting a second documentary), Spurlock enjoys a burger as much as the next guy. This week he and his wife, who just "spawned and swam across the river" to Park Slope, were especially indulgent. "You're supposed to gain sympathy weight when your wife is pregnant, but I've put on more weight since we've had the kid." So where did he pack on the pounds this week? .

And did the Georgia wild strawberry mousseline with chocolate ganache and pecan brittle taste as good as it looked? .
Downtown boom: We'd better 'hop' to it
As a longtime downtown resident, I'm gratified by the new surge in enthusiasm for the city's core evidenced by Saturday night's Downtown Hoparound. If you weren't among the thousands who came down to sample downtown's top attractions on a perfect April evening, you really missed something. From the city's oldest gathering spot - the historic tavern Arnold's on Eighth Street - to its newest - the night club Bang on West Fourth Street, which had its grand opening - places were jammed all evening with local celebs and "ordinary" folks mingling and enjoying musical acts. Others strolled the streets taking in the warm spring air, or sat on Fountain Square checking out the flower display. .
