I admit it. I couldn't resist the Loose Caboose Sandwich Depot's (934 Park Row, 422-7169) catchy name. This quirky joint is decked out with locomotive paraphernalia: Posters, postcards and railroad signs plaster every square inch of wall, and toy trains hang from the rafters. I was half expecting the servers to be; decked out in overalls and engineer's caps. Speaking of engineer's caps, a pastrami-on-swirl rye sandwich ($5.95) is named for this train-centric icon. Other themed sandwiches include Conductor's Whistle (turkey, tomatoes, lettuce mayo on sourdough, $5.95) and the Boxcar (salami and American cheese on a French roll, $6.45).

After four years of exile at the end of the Grande Galerie in the Louvre, the "Mona Lisa," arguably the world's most celebrated portrait, returned to her traditional place last week.

CHICAGO (HedgeWorld.com) - Here at HedgeWorld we have dusted off our crystal ball to see if we can get some insight into what's in store in the year ahead. Our oracle came up with a number of predictions for 2007some of which may even come true. But readers should be warned: While our soothsaying tool seemed as reliable as just about any other method we could think of, we must admit that even after extensive polishing, the dust on our crystal ball is still quite thick, and our visions may therefore prove somewhat distorted.
