Lime Rickey International is the outrageous alter ego of performance artist Leyya Mona Tawil.  Shipwrecked in our time from the future, she performs fictional folk dances, creates noise (I'll say!), and sings to a homeland that doesn't yet exist.  I don't know why no one has yet called Tawil's work as Lime Rickey International Arab futurist -- but I'm doing so now and hoping it sticks.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Can't keep from touting ramen master Shigetoshi Nakamura's new mazémen spot Niche, featuring those dry ramen that I, for one, love so much.  If this tiny place is slammed, you can go next door to Nakamura for excellent -- albeit not dry -- ramen of the more standard variety.
