Planting trees created money in New York.

A peculiar spirit behind your local cocktail bar is having its moment.
by Tim Hyland
From that initial NyQuil shock to the down-the-gullet burn (it's 110 proof — 55 percent alcohol), Green Chartreuse presents a challenging drinking experience. Which is probably why so few Chartreuse newbies become Chartreuse regulars.

All the news we care to print.
by Jeffrey C. Billman, Brian Howard and Holly Otterbein

Man Overboard!
If we are going to start drafting up clever new taxes, we'd first better make sure they're fair.
by Isaiah Thompson
The proposal, which would tax retailers 2 cents for every ounce of "sugar-sweetened beverage" that they sell — soda, Gatorade, frappa-mocha-chinos, and (I checked) tonic water, among others — may be multipurpose, but it's not equa-purpose. Nor is it equa-burdensome.

Three directors tackle the Yorkshire Ripper in the Red Riding trilogy.
by Sam Adams
The Red Riding trilogy, adapted from a series of novels by David Pearce, offers some of the satisfactions of its more costly cousins; it's not a heroic coming-of-age tale but a dense, sprawling tapestry that finds its way into every dark and seamy corner of the north of England.

City Paper Grade: B
by Sam Adams
Set largely in a French cell block, Jacques Audiard's A Prophet is less a film noir than gris, its scuffed-up surfaces suggesting a world where everything and everyone is just about spent.
