The Dining Room Takes to the Streets
BYLINE: By PENELOPE GREEN
SECTION: Section F; Column 0; House & Home/Style Desk; Pg. 1
LENGTH: 1467 words
THERE were 10 for dinner last Friday night, invited by Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown, partners in an architecture practice that has its offices on Vandam Street in Manhattan. A few of the guests were collaborating with the architects on a master plan for a city in China, 10 kilometers away from the epicenter of the recent earthquake, and they were exhausted from working nonstop. Still, they came, by subway and then on foot, meeting in the lee of the Manhattan-side tower of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Mr. Tsao had brought with him an old wooden card table, upon which he placed jars of iced tea and bloody mary mix, along with platters of fried chicken, French bread and wedges of Manchego cheese. They took their meal standing up, in the slip stream of the pedestrian traffic, while tourists stopped and asked to have their pictures taken, bicycles whooshed by and Olafur Eliasson's waterfalls hissed below. As the sun went down, the group raised paper cups and made a toast to summer and to the city itself, laid out like a banquet before them.

For Mr. Tsao, 55, taking over a piece of the bridge for a dinner party, as he did Friday night and likes to do at least once each summer, is an act both political and personal, a conscious gesture of civic engagement and a way to lay claim to a terrific party space.

He is captivated and inspired, he said, by the persona of the 19th-century flaneur -- ''the voyeuristic stroller,'' as Susan Sontag wrote in a 1977 essay, ''who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes.'' Being a flaneur, Mr. Tsao said, ''is all about taking in the world we've been given; we want to embrace it and engage with it.''

As long as there have been cities, their residents have spread out, outside, when the temperature rises. New Yorkers have long been in the habit of bringing out lawn chairs, card tables and mattresses -- even sofas and televisions -- turning sidewalks and fire escapes into living rooms, dining areas and sleeping porches. But there are those, like Mr. Tsao, for whom the usual stoop picnic is not enough, expansionist entertainers who are putting a new spin on an old practice, and domesticating public space in ever more elaborate ways.

Two or three times a summer, Suzanne Seggerman, president and the co-founder of Games for Change, a nonprofit group that promotes digital games as tools for social activism, holds what she calls ''Chez L'Hydrant'' dinners in front of the building on Bond Street where she has lived for 15 years. At these parties, six or eight friends share a one-pot dish like bouillabaisse (''risotto would obviously be a disaster,'' Ms. Seggerman said), two card tables, and lots of rose. The first Chez L'Hydrant was three years ago, a year before Ian Schrager began building his sleek gated condo down the block, Ms. Seggerman said, joining other ''forces of glitz'' in the remaking of her NoHo neighborhood. ''For me, it's about taking back Bond Street,'' Ms. Seggerman said, ''or re-appropriating public space in response to the invasion we've seen lately in our neighborhood.''

Passersby can be both curious and confused, she said. ''Sometimes you can tell they're thinking, Is it a new restaurant? Can I get a table?''

During her most recent dinner, in late June, Tunji Dada, a Nigerian-born, Paris-educated fashion designer who moved to New York 10 years ago, was working in his studio on the ground floor of Ms. Seggerman's building. As his bulldog puppy stretched out on the sidewalk, Mr. Dada nodded approvingly at Ms. Seggerman's guests -- an architect, an artist, a law student and a cab driver. ''It feels eccentric and odd here in New York,'' he said from his open doorway, ''like something more typical of Paris. Americans are very uptight, but if you go way uptown here, of course, everyone is outside. It's when the money hits the street that it goes away.''

Farther downtown in TriBeCa, Reno, a comedian, uses the loading dock in front of her building -- a former warehouse on North Moore Street where she has lived since 1982 -- like a front porch, dragging out beach chairs, a foot stool, her laptop and a dog bed for Edith Ann, her poodle mix. She sees her setup as a nice place to get some work done, she said, but also as a way to thumb her nose at what she described as ''the suburban rules'' that have flooded her neighborhood in the last decade. ''I was on my loading dock one day and I called my dog and somebody actually shushed me,'' she said, affronted, ''because her child was sleeping in the Ice House'' -- the fancy condo conversion across the street. ''Then I felt bad that I told the lady to go back to the suburbs.''

Reno likes the idea of what she called ''invisible theater,'' which she defined as an activity, like telling a joke on a subway or lounging on a loading dock deep in banker country with a leopard-print dog bed and a cold one, that brings people out of themselves and into a conversation. ''Last summer, there was a guy who was coming home from work, wearing the whole Wall Street look,'' said Reno, who has been performing a show about money and culture called ''Money Talks With Citizen Reno.''

''He slows down, and his head swivels and he asks me, 'You're allowed to do this?' He seemed really shocked. I felt so bad for the guy.''

As it happens, a ''rule of reasonableness,'' governs activity like Reno's or the attendees at Chez L'Hydrant, said Janette Sadik-Khan, commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the city body that regulates public spaces like sidewalks. ''Public space is the glue that holds our city together and makes it worth living in,'' she said. ''I always say the streets are the living rooms, so I guess that makes the sidewalks the front porches. We're trying to remove the barriers to enjoying that space. The D.O.T.'s priority is safety,'' she continued, which means that sidewalks need to be passable and in decent repair, she said. ''If someone wants to use the sidewalk'' -- or the Brooklyn Bridge -- ''for a casual dinner, they just have to be considerate of the neighbors.''

Sometimes, street-front parties can inspire the neighbors. For years, Maurice Margules, proprietor of Metro Antiques on East 11th Street, made dinners outside his store, using the Renaissance and Gothic furniture from inside, so that his corner of the block looked like a movie set. Brenda Cullerton, a writer who lives across the street, always watched the proceedings with awe and envy. ''He would lug out this magnificent 18th-century refectory table and chairs, light up two golden torcheres and fire up his hibachi,'' she said. ''Totally surreal. Felliniesque. I waited 10 years to be invited. One night there was even a girl playing a harp.''

On Sunday afternoons, in response, Ms. Cullerton and her husband, Richard DeLigter, and their two children, Nora and Jack, would bring out beach towels and chairs, a propane grill, and a garden hose. ''And there we would lounge,'' Ms. Cullerton said, ''read the paper, play ball, get very wet under the hose and eat hot dogs until dark -- when the Hamptonites began returning their cars to Avis across the street.''

Mr. Margules, 75, said he couldn't imagine making the same effort today (his dinners faded away a few years ago). ''I don't know how we did it,'' he said. ''You had to claim that space, and you had to be oblivious to whatever was alien, like people passing by.'' Mr. Margules remembered his childhood in the Bronx, where the street games he played were practice for his later life as a ''not-grown-up adult.''

''When I was growing up,'' he said, ''when you went outside, you had the world open to you: Johnny on the pony in one empty lot, ringalevio or capture the flag in another. It was like a carnival. As a kid, I was already being primed: the streets are your own fantasy.''

A few years ago, Amit Gupta, a photographer and Internet entrepreneur, put up a tent with two friends in Times Square, at the median triangle just north of the Army recruiting station. He was contemplating a project in which he would photograph the square over a 24-hour period, and wanted to know whether he'd be allowed to stay if he set up a temporary home there. He pretended he and his friends were photographers working for the North Face company, and the police largely left them alone, he said, till morning.

Mr. Gupta, 28, said he never pursued his 24-hour project, but he liked the message he took away from his night of urban camping. ''I do think as you grow up you lose a sense of play and adventure,'' he said the other day, ''especially in a place like modern New York where you are being told what you can't do. I would encourage people to test their boundaries. I think there are a lot of things you can do, even though you are meant to think you can't.''

OPEC 2.0
BYLINE: By TIM WU.

Tim Wu is a professor at Columbia Law School and the co-author of ''Who Controls the Internet?''

SECTION: Section A; Column 0; Editorial Desk; OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR; Pg. 17
LENGTH: 602 words
AMERICANS today spend almost as much on bandwidth -- the capacity to move information -- as we do on energy. A family of four likely spends several hundred dollars a month on cellphones, cable television and Internet connections, which is about what we spend on gas and heating oil.

Just as the industrial revolution depended on oil and other energy sources, the information revolution is fueled by bandwidth. If we aren't careful, we're going to repeat the history of the oil industry by creating a bandwidth cartel.

Like energy, bandwidth is an essential economic input. You can't run an engine without gas, or a cellphone without bandwidth. Both are also resources controlled by a tight group of producers, whether oil companies and Middle Eastern nations or communications companies like AT&T, Comcast and Vodafone. That's why, as with energy, we need to develop alternative sources of bandwidth.

Wired connections to the home -- cable and telephone lines -- are the major way that Americans move information. In the United States and in most of the world, a monopoly or duopoly controls the pipes that supply homes with information. These companies, primarily phone and cable companies, have a natural interest in controlling supplyto maintain price levels and extract maximum profit from their investments -- similar to how OPEC sets production quotas to guarantee high prices.

But just as with oil, there are alternatives. Amsterdam and some cities in Utah have deployed their own fiber to carry bandwidth as a public utility. A future possibility is to buy your own fiber, the way you might buy a solar panel for your home.

Encouraging competition is another path, though not an easy one: most of the much-hyped competitors from earlier this decade, like businesses that would provide broadband Internet over power lines, are dead or moribund. But alternatives are important. Relying on monopoly producers for the transmission of information is a dangerous path.

After physical wires, the other major way to move information is through the airwaves, a natural resource with enormous potential. But that potential is untapped because of a false scarcity created by bad government policy.

Our current approach is a command and control system dating from the 1920s. The federal government dictates exactly what licensees of the airwaves may do with their part of the spectrum. These Soviet-style rules create waste that is worthy of Brezhnev.

Many ''owners'' of spectrum either hardly use the stuff or use it in highly inefficient ways. At any given moment, more than 90 percent of the nation's airwaves are empty.

The solution is to relax the overregulation of the airwaves and allow use of the wasted spaces. Anyone, so long as he or she complies with a few basic rules to avoid interference, could try to build a better Wi-Fi and become a broadband billionaire. These wireless entrepreneurs could one day liberate us from wires, cables and rising prices.

Such technologies would not work perfectly right away, but over time clever entrepreneurs would find a way, if we gave them the chance. The Federal Communications Commission promised this kind of reform nearly a decade ago, but it continues to drag its heels.

In an information economy, the supply and price of bandwidth matters, in the way that oil prices matter: not just for gas stations, but for the whole economy.

And that's why there is a pressing need to explore all alternative supplies of bandwidth before it is too late. Americans are as addicted to bandwidth as they are to oil. The first step is facing the problem.

A Cocktail Book Renaissance, Too
BYLINE: By PETER MEEHAN
SECTION: Section F; Column 0; Dining In, Dining Out / Style Desk; Pg. 5
LENGTH: 1128 words
GREG BOEHM was galled when prices of out-of-print cocktail books skyrocketed along with the popularity of cocktails, a familiar gripe of any drink enthusiast who has been ensnared by the anachronistic charm of old bar books.

''Online auction sites have gone insane, to the point where it wasn't really fun anymore,'' he said. ''I've watched prices for old cocktail books double in the last year. I've seen books that are not good, are not in good condition, aren't first editions and aren't hard to find sell for four or five hundred dollars. I found it upsetting.''

But rather than cry into his Corpse Reviver over the scarcity of these classics, Mr. Boehm decided to do something about it. He is producing facsimiles of the books himself.

He was in a good position to do so. His grandfather founded Sterling Publishing, which produced reference and how-to books. ''My father built it up,'' he said of the family business, ''and I got out of it before I messed it up.'' He sold it five years ago when he started his own company, Mud Puddle Books.

His office is home to a collection of about 1,200 cocktail books. It includes nearly 700 titles in various editions and printings, most from before 1950.

He was hard-pressed to explain why he started collecting 10 years ago, indicating it had something to do with Salvatore Calabrese, the London barman, and a water-damaged book by Jerry Thomas known variously as ''The Bar-Tender's Guide,'' ''How to Mix Drinks'' or ''The Bon-Vivant's Companion.'' (He will publish the book later this year; it's the only one in the pipeline that is widely available from other sources.) But his explanation for republishing some of the books was simple: ''I wanted to make the information in them available again.''

Bartenders and cocktail geeks, more so than adherents of any other epicurean discipline, seem drawn to a dialogue with the past.

David Wondrich, Robert Hess and other cocktail authorities helped Mr. Boehm select the first five books to reproduce, and contributed introductions.

The books are gems, less for their recipes, which are mix of arcane curiosities and the earliest documentation of cocktails we still drink today, than for their tone and approach.

C. F. Lawlor's ''The Mixicologist,'' the 1899 version, contains a stern list of ''Don'ts for Young Bartenders,'' including the advice: ''Don't be too positive about things. You may be in error.''

''Barflies and Cocktails,'' written by Harry McElhone (the Harry of the famous Harry's New York Bar in Paris) and extensively illustrated in a cartoonish style by Wynn Holcomb, conveys a whiskey-addled sense of zany humor that seems tied to the Roaring Twenties, when the book was first published. The running conceit of the book has to do with the fictional association of International Bar Flies, the rules of which include the admonition that, ''Those seeing cerise cats with purple ears should keep it to themselves.''

Harry Johnson's ''Bartenders' Manual and Guide for Hotels and Restaurants'' is perhaps the rarest and most vital of the lot. Though the source material dates from 1900 (the first edition came out in 1882, but Mr. Johnson revised it, and Mr. Boehm elected to reproduce the latest edition of the book), there has not been as thorough a book published about every aspect of the bar business. It includes ''A Tip to the Beginner -- How to Make Money'' and ''Hints About Hiring a Boy to the Business'' as well as engrossing line drawings of everything from Mr. Johnson and his considerable mustache to the details of the design of bars in the golden age of the cocktail.

The other two books are ''The Modern Bartender's Guide'' by O. H. Byron and ''Recipes of American and Other Iced Drinks,'' a British book published in 1902 by Farrow & Jackson to promote its barware.

And while the very availability of these books is notable, the meticulous attention to detail applied to reprinting them adds another level of appeal: they are desirable as objects. These little time machines between two covers are the finest reproductions of old cocktail books that have been published.

Mud Puddle's facsimiles are nearly identical to their source material. The only noticeable difference between the 2008 edition of the ''Mixicologist'' and the original is the new publisher's stamp on the spine and the missing magic that only a century or so of aging can add to a book.

Mr. Boehm frets about the slight details that changes in book printing technology have made it impossible for him to duplicate: he could not find paper as thin as was used 100 years ago, so his books are slightly thicker than the originals; the corners on his edition of Harry Johnson's book are rounder than they were on the 1900 edition. It is clear he loses sleep over these things.

It is also clear that these books are labors of love. Mud Puddle's main business is high-volume (tens of thousands of copies), low-price ''book plus'' products, like a book about how to make sushi packaged with a bamboo mat, or a book on knitting that comes with needles and yarn. The cocktail books have been printed in 1,500-copy batches and are available at Amazon.com and cocktailkingdom.com.

Mr. Boehm said he hoped to break even on the books. If they catch on, Mud Puddle will be able to do larger print runs and lower the prices, currently $24.95 to $29.95.

But until that happens, he will press on. Mud Puddle will reissue other titles later this year, including David A. Embury's ''Fine Art of Mixing Drinks,'' one of the most literate and enjoyable books written about cocktails.

Appreciative bartenders, who will not have to spend a month's tips on eBay to secure copies of these books, may want to consult the toasts section of ''Barflies and Cocktails'' for a ''toast to publishers'' to celebrate: ''Here's to the man who disseminates brains; when the quality's bad it's the Devil that gains.''
