[ Krieger ] Betel , a new Thai restaurant from Australian restaurateurs, opened in the old Wild Ginger space on 51 Grove last week. Designed by the man behind the Upper East Side’s sleek Le Caprice, the space itself is a looker, and people in the neighborhood seem happy with what he’s done with the landmarked space.

TravelManager has just spent the past week in Austin, Texas at the SxSW conference and its been great fun! As expected there was lots of activity in the social media space as well as in Mobile – two sectors TravelManager is working hard in. An interesting stat which passed our way whilst there was that there will soon be more Mobile Internet users in China than there are people in the USA. That is an impressively huge amount of people surfing the Internet on their mobiles – and a lot of people who are climbing up the social ladder looking for holidays etc.

We were sorry to learn recently that the riverside research station of Iain Douglas-Hamilton, of Save the Elephants , in northern Kenya, was destroyed on the morning of March 4, 2010 by a flash flood, which resulted from a storm several miles upstream. Save the Elephants is an organization, that, as its name indicates, works to research and protect the elephant population in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve, and it was featured prominently in “Family Ties: The Elephants of Samburu,” a story in the September 2008 issue of National Geographic written by David Quammen. In the piece, Quammen describes the reserve and the elephants’ role within it: The reserve is a relatively small area, just 65 square miles of semiarid savanna, rough highlands, dry washes (known locally as luggas ), and riparian forests of acacia and doom palm along the north bank of the Ewaso Ngiro River.

Cartoon is a rare creation that wraps art, portraiture and comment in the same picture. It appears funny but the message it delivers is hardly that. There are many famous cartoonists who specialize in drawing cartoons by applying the traditional method of sketching rough pictures by pencil

[ Curbed ] To be honest, it would be weird if Danny Meyer hadn’t toured the prospective restaurant spaces in the upcoming Brooklyn Bridge Park , given he has restaurants in both Central and Madison Square Parks, considered bidding on the Tavern on the Green space, and holds a slew of operations at CitiField. But yes, he was there last week to tour the Pier 1 facilities along with the owners of Red Hook’s destination restaurant The Good Fork , mini Asian chain Rice , Dumbo’s Superfine , and at least 30 others (and one blogger plant )
