    Triangles peaked in popularity last year. Now, all of the kids in the suburbs fight schoolyard wars over scalene versus isosceles loyalty. Urbanites have moved on and embraced the sphere. The purest way to interact with that hallowed, round, geometrical shape: play billiards. Proportionally epic, The Academy is the most refined stick, slate, and ball spot in the city (perhaps the country). Housed in a historic post-factory building, the Academy space formerly belonged to the Brunswick/Samuel May Company (the billiard table manufacturers (apropos)). Now, with four elegantly appointed rooms, running the gamut from cavernous and fine to fine and stately, AS of A caters to chalkers and diners of the well-pressed ilk. -S.T.

    The curried lamb tapas was delicious and perfectly spiced but too large as we were stuffed for our main course. Steak with purple potatos and chicken supreme were good. The service was good and the billiards was great. Would go there again for a casual dinner.

    I have attempted to do business with them numerous times in the past but have always been directed to someone's voice mail I have also left emails. After 2 months of trying I received an extremely bitchy call from someone and since then have only heard bad things regarding their customer service and "unfresh food" I have to agree! From now on I will attempt to get my customers to choose different venues.
