After seeing Avenue Q, we hung out with my sister then headed off to dinner. Just by coincidence our car was up on 56th, so we ended up walking around there for dinner. We ended up at Topaz, a Thai restaurant on W. 56th St. I don’t have much to say, except that both entrees we tried were excellent. It’s been a while since I’ve had great Thai food, probably since I left Boston. This was great. The decor was alright, the service was very good, and they had a good selection of entrees. Heidi had the Massaman curry, which she loved, and I had the Tofu Pad Basil, which I devoured. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s worth swinging by.

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.
