 In the Steps of Rufus Porter, Yankee Original - ExploreNewEngland.com
Born in 1792 in the prosperous farming town of West Boxford, Mass., Porter was 9 when his family moved to the barely settled community of Flintstown, Me. The move was the first of many for Porter, who remained a wanderer both physically and intellectually for the rest of his 92 years.
Despite his enormous output, Porter was all but forgotten until the mid-20th century, when the historian of American folk and primitive art Jean Lipman rediscovered his charm.
Lipman painstakingly retraced Porter's steps, visiting many of the buildings he decorated and in 1968 publishing "Rufus Porter: Yankee Pioneer." What she found was widespread neglect.

In 1949, after several months at Yaddo and some time in New York City and Milledgeville, O'Connor moved into the garage apartment of Sally and Robert Fitzgerald in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where she boarded for nearly two years.
Faulkner and Porter were strong influences, as were Nathaniel Hawthorne, Joseph Conrad, and the French writers Georges Bernanos and François Mauriac.
These last four reinforced O'Connor's emphasis on original sin, guilt, and alienation, especially as she focused on the twentieth-century tendency to find in technology and in the idea of "progress" the panacea to life's ills.

 Porter House New York - New York Magazine Restaurant Review
The venerable, timeworn genre was invented here (New York is the home of the porterhouse cut), and the steakhouse is to meat-hungry, expense-account-fueled New Yorkers what the bistro is to Parisians, the clam shack is to Cape Codders, and the barbecue joint is to the sauce-slathered residents of North Carolina and Tennessee.
There’s also a settled formula to the old New York chophouse, which even the greatest chefs deviate from at their peril.
The former occupant of the Porter House space was Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s much-maligned V Steakhouse.

Although plenty expensive, Porter House is populist enough to give customers the chance to keep tabs on sporting events and news, but what we saw on the screen were pictures of meaty chops and starchy sides, arrayed in ways that looked familiar.
But while Porter House has a pleasant amber glow, STK is so dark in spots that the candles on tables have to double as flashlights, without which the menu is almost illegible.
Of course most of the city’s new steakhouses come with at least some kind of conceit, and Porter House follows suit, making good on its name by presenting what it liberally calls porterhouse cuts of not only beef but also veal, pork, lamb and monkfish, which is served on the bone and wrapped in pancetta.
