FULL INTERVIEW WITHMORGAN SPURLOCK

ONLINETODAY


Mayor Michael Nutter,along with District AttorneySeth Williams and DeputyMayor for Public SafetyEverett Gillison, gathered atDilworth Plaza yesterday toannounce a crackdown onteen mob violence.

First on the agenda?Curfews. Minors will nolonger be allowed out after9 p.m. in the target areasof Center City and Univer-sity City on Friday and Sat-urday nights, starting thisweekend.

Penalties for violatingthe weekend curfew, previ-ously 10 p.m. for those 13and under and midnightfor those 14 to 17, are al-ready in effect. Fifteen cita-tions were handed out lastFriday and Saturday.

But Nutter hopes to takeenforcement to a new lev-el. Those who break cur-few will be taken to police

stations and their parentscalled. If a guardian fails toshow, police will contactthe Department of HumanServices and, in addition tofacing $100 to $500 fines,parents can be taken tocourt.

The temporary curfewwill be re-evaluated whenschool begins again in Sep-tember.

The cost of enforcementwill be partially offset bycommunity partners pa-trolling the streets along

with beat cops, bike policeand the mounted patrolunit. The city is asking citi-zens to step up and volun-teer their time to act as anextra set of eyes and earson busy weekend nights.

“It’s not just a Philadel-phia Police Departmentchallenge,” Nutter said.“It’s a challenge for all ofus as community mem-bers. ... There’s still timefor you to be part of the so-lution.”

But Williams was quickto remind teens in thecrowd, “When all else fails,you will deal with us.”

No longer will courts al-low community service ordiversionary programs asalternatives to jail time forthose who participate inmob violence.

Quieter streetswithout teens?

Center City, University City off limits after 9 p.m. for anyone under 17Anti-crime advocate ‘disappointed’ about limited range of locationsMayor Nutter says curfew will last at least until school begins

Police presence in Center City and University City will beef up at night to support a curfew Nutter says will be backed byfines for juvenile’s parents.

there were more effortsto deal with neighboringcommunities, ratherthan just the targeted ar-eas.”

*Results may vary. This testimonial reflects results achieved by this patient. As each case must be independently evaluated and managed, actual weight loss will vary.

This surgery is designed for those with a body mass index equal to or greater than 40 or equal to or greater than 35 with serious co-morbidities.

Let the Weight Be Over“It has been 15 monthssince my surgery and I have lost 97 pounds. I am now able to givethese guys a run for their money!” – Angel

“Unlike most people struggling with morbid obesity, I did not find myself hindered bydiabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or any of the illnesses that strike the obese. What I did have was a family history of diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and arthritis –brought on by obesity – and a personal history of unsuccessful attempts at conventional weight loss methods.

When I topped 275 lbs, the slightest activity left me out-of-breath and out of energy. Myweight had begun to interfere with the one most important thing in my life – keeping upwith my boys! I visited the Center for Surgical Weight Loss at Hahnemann UniversityHospital. It was the smartest decision I ever made.”

Dow falls morethan 600 points

US stock market tanks in first day of trading since credit rating downgraded from AAA Plunging prices a sword over economy Obama takes podium to try to reassure country

Plunging stock prices inthe wake of Standard &Poor’s decision to strip theUnited States’ top-tier AAAcredit rating may threatenconsumer confidence andcould push the frail econo-my into recession.

While analysts say thedirect impact on the econ-omy from the credit ratingdowngrade itself is limited,a sustained drop in shareprices would have a nega-tive impact on wealth —and likely force both con-sumers and businesses tohunker down.

Consumer spending ac-counts for about 70 percentof U.S. economic activityand analysts at Albion Fi-nancial Group estimate thedomestic stock market hasdropped by about 14 per-cent since July 25, wipingoff $1.93 trillion.

“This massive move inthe equity market does dimthe economic outlook for

the next six months,” saidCarl Riccadonna, senior U.S.economist at Deutsche Bankin New York. “We would putthe recession odds at about40 percent, and about twoweeks ago they were atabout a 10 percent chance.”

U.S. and global shareshave come under relentlessselling pressure since late Ju-ly as investors took a dimview of a nasty fight inWashington over raising thecountry’s debt ceiling and astring of weak economic da-ta around the world.

Adding to the stock mar-ket’s woes, S&P on Fridaycut the long-term U.S. cred-it rating by one notch toAA-plus on concerns aboutthe government’s budgetdeficit and rising debt bur-den. Stocks on Wall Streettumbled more than 5.0 per-cent on Monday, theirworst day since December2008 during the worst ofthe banking crisis. REUTERS

Obama:We’re stillan AAAcountryPresident Barack Obamayesterday blamed a down-grade in the United States’credit rating on politicalgridlock in Washington andsaid he would offer somerecommendations on howto reduce federal deficits.

Obama stopped short ofsharp criticism of Standard& Poor’s for its downgradeof U.S. debt to AA-plusfrom AAA on Friday. Senioradministration officialshave accused S&P of goingahead with the downgradedespite a $2 trillion mathe-matical error.

“Markets will rise andfall, but this is the UnitedStates of America. No mat-ter what some agency maysay, we have always beenand always will be a triple-A country,” Obama said.

Obama said in a WhiteHouse appearance that hehopes S&P’s downgrade ofU.S. debt will give U.S. law-makers a new sense of ur-gency to tackle long-termdeficit spending and saidhe did not believe the re-ductions could be carriedout with spending cutsalone. REUTERS

Lopez isn’tsitting aroundcrying, OK? While her split from MarcAnthony has been“painful,” Jennifer Lopez isreportedly feeling goodabout her decision to endtheir marriage, accordingto People magazine. “She isvery relieved to be out of[the marriage], frankly,”says a source. “I don’t think

she is sitting around cryingor wondering if she madethe wrong decision.” Infact, far from sitting down,she’s off to Atlanta — twinsin tow — to film her nextproject, “What to ExpectWhen You’re Expecting.”“For her, it’s back to busi-ness,” the source says. “Sheis all about her career.She’s excited to move on.”

The truthbehind ColeSimon Cowell is opening upabout exactly how CherylCole’s involvement with

the U.S. edition of “XFactor” fell apart. “Aftertwo cities, I offered her thejob, which initially she ac-cepted,” Cowell says,according to Radar Online.“And then unfortunatelywhen it went public, thenegotiations fell apart, so Ithought she would bemore comfortable doingthe U.K. show than theAmerican show. For certainreasons, [she] decided notto.” And while they havebeen friends for years, thelatest episode might have alasting impact: “She is stillgrumpy with me,” headmits.

Riders, contracts on whatkind of amenities are to beprovided for celebrities inorder to perform at a cer-tain venue, are nothing newin showbiz (check out oursidebar on the most outra-geous celebrity riders be-low). But Ciara, who is nowon tour, claims her rider is“very simple.”

“I love green tea orthroat coat or pepperminttea. Fiji water is a must. Ilike raw almonds in my rid-er as well, really just to keepit simple because before Igo on stage I don’t like toeat too heavy. I have a tooth-brush on there and tooth-paste and Dove soap,” shetold Metro on the red carpetat a concert at New York

City’s Beekman’s BeachClub, where she performedas part of the Radio Mali-boom Boom Station Inva-sion Tour. “Maybe when I goon my world tour next timearound, I might beef it up.But normally it’s about thecatering for me. The rider inthe room doesn’t reallymatter as much as the cater-ing. The good food is whereit’s at.” — Additional reportingby Meredith Engel.

Austin Wright is having ayear most authors can onlydream of. Not only is hisbook, “Tony and Susan,” abest-seller in Britain, butthis week, a major U.S. pub-lisher is publishing thework in the states with aprinting of 10,000 copies inhardcover.

Too bad he’s not aroundto witness it: Wright died in2003 at the age of 80.

Here is the very oddbackstory to “Tony and Su-san”: The thriller was firstreleased in 1993 to a smallpublishing house. It gar-nered critical acclaim, but

it failed to gain tractionwith readers. However,over in England, editor RaviMirchandani, who read theoriginal manuscript twodecades ago, just couldn’tforget it. So he decided toinvestigate what happenedto “Tony and Susan” anddiscovered the book wasout of print. The staff at hispublishing house loved it,they acquired the rights toit and went on to sell world-wide rights in 15 languages.

“I’ve never had this hap-pen,” says Jamie Raab, Pub-lisher of Grand Central,who bought the rights for

U.S. publication for its re-re-lease. “I read the book andthought it was amazing. Iwanted to be a part of intro-ducing it to a much largeraudience.”

Raab knows the wholetale is bittersweet.

“Unfortunately, [Wright]is not around to appreciateit and to enjoy its success,”says Raab. “But it’s just aseamless book and workson so many levels. I justhad to try to get it outthere.”

Rescued from thebook graveyard

An author is receiving an unexpected second chance this summer afterbeing out of print for nearly 20 years The rare story of ‘Tony and Susan’

The plot

So why did all of theseeditors fawn over “Tony andSusan” enough to resurrectit? Because it’s just so good.

Set up as a novel-within-a-novel, “Tonyand Susan”follows SusanMorrow, amild-man-nered college

teacher, as she reads a man-uscript her ex-husband mailsher, a chilling thriller of mur-der and revenge.

DOROTHY [email protected]

Wright, pictured right, was an English professor at the University of Cincinnati and author of seven novels, all of which fell out of print. Eight years after his death, his masterpiece, “Tony and Susan,” is being reissued to worldwide acclaim.

Most how-to books on thecreative process tell writersto stay far away from thetime-suck that is the Inter-net. But Book Country, anew online platform, letsnew writers get exposure,motivation and, most im-portantly, feedback.

Focused on the genres ofromance, fantasy, sciencefiction, thriller and mystery,members can upload awork in progress, exploreand provide notes aboutwork already posted, andparticipate in discussionsabout the business and craftof writing.

“Traditionally, a writerhas to have a full manu-script before reviews arepossible. With Book Coun-try, he just has to upload afew chapters and he will beable to get feedback on hiswork,” says Molly Barton,president of the site. “Itmakes the whole processless intimidating.”

Book Country also fo-cuses on reciprocity. Mem-bers are allowed to uploadwork only after they haveprovided reviews for threeother works. “All the re-views are moderated. Andthe reviews by more estab-lished members will weighmore than reviews by new-er members,” Barton says.“This way, a writer cannotask his friends to join andgive his own work a ravingreview. This maintains theintegrity of our website.”

If you’re a writer, it’s timeto explore Book Country

As a child growing up inSouth Africa, Dan Ottedidn’t give much thoughtto insects. His imaginationwas focused on much big-ger game. “In first grade,our teacher said once wefinished our lessons wecould draw,” Otte recalls. “Ialways drew antelopesjumping over bushes orfences.”

It wasn’t until his under-grad years at the Universityof Michigan that Otte, nowthe senior curator of ento-mology at the Academy ofNatural Sciences, caughtthe bug for bugs. He’s sincebeen traveling the world for

over 40 years to collect andstudy insects, becoming aleading expert on grasshop-pers and crickets. And hisearly predilection forsketching animals has paidoff in the detailed draw-ings he’s made, which arenow collected for the Acad-emy’s new exhibition,“Dual Nature.”

Sketches would seem tobe passe when photographycan capture these insects inall their living glory, but asOtte explains, “Oftentimes,specimens come back fromthe field in a jar of alcoholor dried on pins — andthey’ve lost some of their

color. I’m trying to showhow the species wouldhave looked if it were alive.”

Seeing his artwork hang-ing in the institution wherehe’s worked and studiedsince 1975 is “a real honor,”Otte says. “They were neverintended for hanging on awall. It’s lovely.”

COURTESY OF MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA

Coolx3Last Fashion Week,

editors raised theirprosecco glasses atthe news of a collab-

oration between OpeningCeremony, purveyors ofdowntown cool, and MM6Maison Martin Margiela,the sister brand to themain label created by enig-

matic fashion rock starMartin Margiela. The col-lection, which hit storeslast week, is completely inline with Maison’s headydesign philosophy, includ-ing the “idea of recupera-tion, transformation andreinterpretation.”

Translation: The lineconsists of 20 separates —with a twist. Based on athree-in-one concept, mostitems play double duty, ex-panding your wardrobewithout adding more clut-ter. Unfasten the lining ofa jacket and you have an-other; with a slight tug,boots can be worn as knee-highs or ankle.

We sat down with Hum-berto Leon, co-founder ofOpening Ceremony, andRenzo Rosso, president of

Only the Brave (who in2002 became a majorityshareholder of MaisonMartin Margiela) to findout how your new travelwardrobe came together.

Whose genius idea was it forthis collaboration?Leon: “I approached them.We do this thing where wefeature countries everyyear, and we decided to fea-ture France. The Maison isbased in Paris and itseemed like a perfect fit. Ihad talked to Renzo and he

said to me, ‘If we do this,let’s do it really special.’ Inthe end, I feel we did some-thing really special. And itwas a year in the making— we had really thoughtthis through.”How exactly did the creativeprocess work?Rosso: “We give it to our de-signers, the input, of whatwe wanted to do, theycame up with the design.After, we showed it to theOpening Ceremony peopleand they put their own vi-sion. They said, ‘This is notgood, this can be fantastic.’It was really two teamsworking together and Ithink this is why the resultis very unique.”

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. If you are self-assured and persistent aboutwhatever it is you take on, this canbe a productive day for you. Shouldyou encounter any resistance, pushthe pedal to the metal.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Unless youfollow through on whatever oppor-tunities are available to you, regard-less of how small or large theymight be, you won't be successful.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Just becauseyour first effort fizzles, you shouldn'tgive up too easily. If you're ready tokeep up the effort, your probabilitiesfor success will be greatly enhanced.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Just be-cause someone isn't in total accordwith you, it doesn't mean she or hedoesn't think you're smart. Don't bedefensive; try to see the issue fromthis person's perspective.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Treat-ing others in a self-serving mannercould cause them to back off allright, but to what avail? They're aptto be reluctant to be your friend.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. An un-reasonable person can be turnedaround if you continually treat thisindividual with respect and courtesy,in spite of his or her behavior. Thecontrast will make your case.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. If youare working on something impor-tant, be sure to monitor a co-workerwho usually does things in a hasty,careless manner.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. In orderto be effective, your priorities mustbe kept in proper order. Be sure youtake care of essential matters firstand save frivolous trifles until later,when all your work is done.

Aries March 21-April 19. When thegoing gets tough, you're likely to geteven tougher. You'll refuse to be in-timidated, but instead will welcomethe chance to prove just how re-silient and hardy you are.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Don'tshoot down a great idea just be-cause it doesn't come from you.Achieving something especiallygood should be more importantthan who thought of what.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Try not tobe too much of a spendthrift when itcomes to your resources. Just because it's easy to take money outof the bank doesn't mean it'll beeasy to put any back.

Cancer June 21-July 22. Make people feel significant and respectedby displaying patience at all times,regardless of who they are or whatthey're saying or doing.BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Another debtcrisis solutionTax refunds and Social Security are taken frompaychecks earned byworkers. The real debt solution is balance: cutswith revenue. But the Tea Party applies “TaxedEnough Already” only tothe richest 5 percent ofthe population, not themiddle class, so we havecuts without revenue, andnone for the rich. It’s doubly unbalanced. I havetwo better ideas: 1) TheAmericans-First Tax: Forevery job Big Business outsources overseas(which is “unpatriotic”),tax them triple an

American’s salary plus allbenefits. 2) The GiffordsTax: raise taxes on guns,bullets, clips, magazines,etc., but make gun safetydevices and smart-guntechnology tax-free.J. ANDREW SMITH, VIA E-MAIL

S&P downgradea wake-up callThere is good reason forStandard & Poors to down-grade Uncle Sam’s creditrating. They have onlysaid publicly what manyhave been thinking: thatboth the president andCongress on a bipartisanbasis failed in dealingwith our financial crisis.

At the end of the day, wewill increase our longterm debt from $14trillion to $16 trillion overthe next two years. Thepresident and Congresscan only identify modestcuts in the billions. Theypunted by setting up an-other joint House/Senatecongressional committeeto come up with morecuts later. Significant realcuts in spending havebeen put off until 2016.The simple answer to thebudget crises would havebeen a return to 2008spending levels. Thisshould have beenfollowed by a one for onebasis; cut a dollar in directspending for every dollar

you raise the debt ceiling.To add insult to injury,Congress has adjorned forthe rest of August whilethe crisis continues. LARRY PENNER, VIA E-MAIL

Blame it on the reign I can’t conceive what voters were thinking lastyear when they electedthe current crop ofRepublican freshmen toCongress, most of whomwere spouting nonsensethroughout the campaignseason and proving igno-rant of basic civics.Anyone who complainsabout “Washington”being broken can look tothe Tea Party Republicansand their supporters, firstand foremost.

Last Friday night, in the midst ofanother thrashing by the Phillies, Gi-ants thug Ramon Ramirez decided tothrow a ball directly at Shane Victori-no. The replay is undeniable.

Ramirez rears back and fires a fastball rightat Victorino’s rear end, smacking him with aglancing blow above the right hip. Why? Oh,no reason. The Giants were losing, 8-2, and itjust seemed like a good idea at the time.

After absorbing the blow, Victorino took acouple of steps toward the mound — with nomenace in his eyes — and hothead Ramirezsaw the gesture as a call to arms. The ensuingmelee was a typical bench-clearing brawl –players racing in from all directions and cre-ating a scrum in the middle of the diamond,but inflicting no physical harm.

The incident left a mark, however, bothon Victorino’s back and on the relationshipbetween two increasingly bitter rivals. Thescars that began forming last year in theplayoffs are growing deeper with each indig-nity provided by a classless Giants team thatdesperately needs to be put in its place. Sec-ond place, that is. Far behind the Phillies.

Remember, it was San Francisco managerBruce Bochy who cast aside all baseballetiquette in the All-Star game, burning thetwo top Phillies pitchers, Roy Halladay andCliff Lee, while preserving two of his ownaces, Tim Lincecum and Ryan Vogelsong, for

the regular season. On a team of largely nonde-script players, Bochy has become the focus ofour rage.

In fact, Bochy was once described as a “two-by-four” when required to speak publicly. And

this wooden personawas evident again afterthe incident last Fridaynight.

“It's baseball andthings happen fast,”Bochy said. “Tempersflare. It's part of thegame. It's competition.Things aren't going wellfor us. . . I thought itwas fairly clean out

there.”Clean? Since when is an unprovoked bean-

ball clean? And in what world is it acceptablefor a pitcher to throw at someone just because“things aren’t going well for us”?

Considering the disappointment of last Oc-tober, a little payback was already on the 2011agenda. But now that Bochy and his one-yearwonders have resorted to schoolyard antics,they would do well to watch their backs.

Because when you act like that around here,there’s a very good chance you’re going tocatch a beating.

Pence aperfect fitfor thisPhils teamHunter Pence. The namesounds like somethingout of a bad baseball nov-el. But what Pence hasdone in his first 10 daysas a Phillie is very real,and very impressive. Hehas filled the greatestneed on the team with aflair that has given himinstant adulation in oursports-crazed city.

The black hole that wasthe No. 5 spot in the bat-ting order is filled nowwith a quirky overachiev-er who crushes left-hand-ed pitching and providesprotection for the bestslugger in baseball, Ryan

Howard. The sudden pow-er surge by Howard in thepast week is nocoincidence.

But the story ofPence’s explosion in pop-

ularity is not just aboutthe runs he’s accountingfor and the nine straightwins he helped toprovide. It was also aboutplaying the game theright way, a reminderseveral Phillies playersneed. Yet again last week,Jimmy Rollins tried jog-ging home from secondon a two-out base hit andnearly got thrown out atthe plate. Rollins needsto watch Pence play.

The other refreshing el-ement Pence has broughtin his first days here is hisappreciation for whatmany of us may be takingfor granted — a gifted teamcapable of 100 wins and aworld championship.Through Pence’s eyes, wecan see again the joy of2008, the sense of awe athaving arguably the bestballclub in the game.

Idle thoughts from Cataldi ...1Do us a favor, Asante:

smile! For someone with aprecarious status, AsanteSamuel might want to tonedown his nasty attitude a bit.The media didn’t acquire toomany cornerbacks, so why theconstant snarl? If this keepsup, Samuel might even ... no,there’s no chance he’ll hit any-one. He never does.

2Why won’t he just moveon? Donovan McNabb pre-

dicted lots of adversity for theEagles, especially with the con-tracts of DeSean Jackson andMichael Vick. He’s right. TheEagles could spend millions onthose guys and still not win aSuper Bowl. But they won’tblow $115 million, the waythey did with McNabb.

3Family of loud mouthsRob Ryan, the defensive co-

ordinator of the Cowboys,called the Eagles “the all-hypeteam” last week. Not true. Theall-hype team was the 1986 Ea-gles, whom someone predict-ed would sweep all eight divi-sion games. That someone wasRob’s smarter and more enter-taining father, Buddy.

Lurie was still his oldsmug self when hecompared the NFL to the“EPL,” as if anyone outsideof his cricket club knewhe meant the English Pre-mier (soccer) League. Andhe lost a few credibilitypoints when he feignedshock at the suggestionthat the newaggressiveness of his team

was tied to the stunningsuccess of the Phillies.

But something has hap-pened to Lurie since his in-famous “gold standard”days of a decade ago. Hemay finally realize nowthat nothing less than achampionship isacceptable, as he provedwhile discounting the re-cent “Dream Team” labelfor his Eagles.

“The only dream team Iknow about is the GreenBay Packers," Lurie said.“We dream to hold thattrophy. We're consciouslytrying to play catch-up inan aggressive way."

Playing catch-up? Hold-ing the Lombardi Trophy?Either a very talented pub-lic-relations expert satLurie down and finally ex-plained how things runhere, or the 135-day lock-out gave the owner timeto figure it out for himself.

Ouch! JoePa injuredin practice collision

The Penn State coach suffers hip and shoulder injuries after being‘blindsided’ by receiver Paterno in hospital, should not require surgery Legendary Penn State foot-ball coach Joe Paterno wasinjured during practice onSunday but is expected toreturn to the field soon.

leased this afternoon.“I expect to be back at

practice soon. I’m doingfine; tell everyone not toworry about me,” Paternosaid in a prepared state-ment. “I like the effort Ihave seen from the squadduring our first few prac-tices, but we have a longway to go to get ready forthe schedule we have.”

Injuries limited ChrisPronger to just three gamesin the playoffs last season,and it’s no secret that theFlyers missed him dearly enroute to a disappointing ear-ly exit.

The bruising defensemanis hoping history does notrepeat itself during the2011-12 campaign.

Despite the fact that hewon’t be ready for the startof camp in mid-September,the 36-year-old Pronger ex-pects to play a full seasonthis year. Injuries alsoslowed Pronger down dur-ing the regular season, as heplayed in just 50 contests af-ter playing all 82 the yearbefore in his first season inPhiladelphia.

“I’m starting to feel a lit-tle better and do a little bitmore in the gym,” Prongersaid during a conferencecall yesterday. “The goal isto be ready for Game 1 ofthe regular season. Once I

get cleared, I can start to getinto full lifting programs.”

Pronger has not liftedheavy weights in six months,and was only recentlycleared by doctors to startriding an exercise bike. Hecontinues to recover fromoffseason back surgery andadditional rehab for a priorinjury to his right hand that

plagued Pronger during lastyear’s postseason.

Though the back surgerywas more recent, Prongerclaims his back is pain-freeand that slow healing in hishand from surgery lastMarch has proven to bemore problematic. He saidhe hopes to be cleared tostart lifting weights inabout a week.

“Strength for my posi-tion and the way I play iscritical,” said Pronger, whoestimated his hand wasabout 80 to 85 percenthealed. “I have to gain mystrength back before I beginskating.”

Pronger offered no an-swers regarding when hisreturn to the ice will occur.

“I don’t know,” he said.“Until I get into the gymand start lifting, I reallycouldn’t tell you. I’m notgoing to speed up theprocess one bit. It’s goingto go as it goes.” METRO

Prongs expects to playas injuries still linger

An island of your ownNantucket may be packed with

people all summer, but there areplaces you can go to get away

Though Nantucketswells to about fivetimes its year-roundpopulation during

the summer season, it ispossible to find areas onthe island that make itfeel like you’re the onlyone there. For a truly ex-clusive feeling, you could

wait a few weeks for whatthe islanders call the“shoulder season” — thevery happy medium be-tween the crowdedtourism peak and theirdesolate winters.

If you can get into one of the12 rooms at the Union StreetInn, they can turn you into anisland insider within a day. The

innkeepers supply guests withself-guided walking tours andlearned conversation that willmake you feel like you’re on afirst-name basis with anyonewho owns a local business.

Plus, the rotating made-to-or-der breakfast menu proves anunderstanding that running atruly exceptional bed andbreakfast depends on payingattention to both B’s.

Stay

While we’re on the topic ofdelicious food, American Sea-sons is a comfortably funkyeatery a few blocks away fromthe cobblestone hustle andbustle. Those in the know

take the extra walk to delightin chef Michael LaScola’s artis-tic menu choices. We can’trecommend enough theCrispy Pork Belly and SearedOctopus on a bed ofhomemade kimchee. If youlike the pig, you may want to

go to the island on the secondweek in October forHogtoberfest. Another topchoice for dining is Corazondel Mar with Mexican cuisineso authentic that it may finallydispel the myths of the islandas a lily-white enclave.

The Atlantic Ocean is on your right, walking down Front Street in Siasconset.

Speaking of unexpected,the Nantucket WhalingMuseum has taken whatcould have been an em-barrassing relic of a crueland outdated economicengine and turned it intoan informative andentertaining experience.The island has come toterms with its whalingpast and details it withmultimediapresentations, weapondemonstrations and live-ly live narration abouthow before the islandtransitioned into tour-

ism, it was for a brieftime the center of theworld. This is all doneunderneath a giganticwhale skeleton.

If there is any part ofyour journey to Nantuck-et that is a “how the oth-er half live” exploration,

then you need to do the20-minute bluff walk inSiasconset. Stretchingalong the elbow of the is-land, the path literallytakes you through thebackyards of some of themost beautiful homes onthe island, preceded bythe quintessentiallyquaint Nantucketcottages on Front Street.
