A mecca of the media power lunch, your food is served Chinese-style on large communal platters. Don’t let that deter you – the China Grill remains a hub of media maneuvering, and what better way to sweeten the deal than with its delectable pan-Asian fusion offerings. Among the starters the duck pancakes are delectable and the calamari salad quite remarkable, while the Sichuan beef under crispy noodles shouldn’t be missed among the entrees. Deserts are back in fashion in Manhattan, these days, so don’t be shy about tucking into that key lime meringue pie or the seductive chocolate fudge cake.

Real Madrid-Celta clashes have become something of a classic as the visitors have earned themselves the reputation of being Spain’s most attractive side in the last couple of seasons. Both teams are currently riding high, Madrid in Champions’ League positions and Celta, only one point behind, just outside the UEFA zone. Real’s is somewhat off colour of late. Celta’s firepower, from Brazilian Catanha and Russians Mostovoi and Karpin, could make them good for a point although a home win is more likely.

The images are riveting. A soldier crossing a river in the Mekong Delta is totally submerged, the photo shows only hands holding a weapon clear of the water. ‘Requiem’ commemorates the 135 photojournalists who gave their lives while covering the conflict that began with the French Indochina War of the 1950s. Because the Vietnam War was covered without censorship, these images present an exceptionally frank and terrifying portrayal. Work is included by the great photojournalists of the century, such as Robert Capa, Larry Burrows and the celebrated female pilot and photojournalist Dickey Chapelle.
