FEATURES
Where to Eat Now
BY ADAM PLATT
So the mayor's telling you to go out to dinner. But with the delicious number of options these days -- restaurant owners all over the city are actually happy to see you -- choosing the right restaurant is a culinary challenge. With that in mind, our restaurant critic went to town: from perfectly seared steak at Strip House to the quintessential slice of Coney Island pizza to succulent shrimp dumplings at Nam. He even rubbed elbows (and sipped a green-apple martini) with the hordes at The Park -- all with the noble end of making your job that much easier. Dig in.

Forgive Me, Father
By JACK NEWFIELD
Al Sharpton's opponents in his presidential bid may be men like Tom Daschle and John Edwards, but the most charged rivalry is the one that has smoldered for the past year between Sharpton and his mentor and role model, Jesse Jackson. "It is Freudian, it is Shakespearean," says Sharpton -- before going on, as usual, to say a great many other things. A character study of two eloquent men with absent fathers, and their Oedipal struggle to lead black America.
