We just moved to a new apartment and didn't realize how loud it gets at rush hour. Is there someone who can come out and do some kind of sound proofing?

–Frances

Of course! Citiquiet installs soundproof windows that fit into your exisiting window openings. So there's no issue with your condo or co-op board and you'll be sleeping way better.

I have a zillion photos from before the "digital age." I'd like to have them all scanned but it will take me weeks. Do you know any place that does this?

–Victoria

Check out digmypics . They'll scan all of your pictures, put them on a disc, post them on line, make prints, and even make a video slide show.

We're meeting another family for dinner on Sunday night and want to go someplace that's fun for both the parents and kids.

–Valerie

We love Gyu-kaku , which is--follow us here-- Japanese-style Korean barbecue. They can accomodate large groups and you grill your own meat and vegetables at the table. Even better, they have a huge selection of sake!

I haven't had my piano tuned in five years. Do you have someone you like?

My daughter has a locker for the first time this year and wants some accessories to make it pretty.

First offer her the magnets off the refrigerator. If that's not what she's after, The Container Store has all sorts of baskets, mirrors, markers, message boards, and the like.

I'm stuck with snack week at my son's preschool. I'm in a rut. Aside from Pirate Booty, what can I bring?

–Stacey

Alyssa likes mini bagels and cream cheese. Hilary likes push-up yogurt. When Alyssa and Hilary are alone, they prefer Buffalo wing-flavored Pretzel Crisps by the bag full.

I'm having 25 people for Rosh Hashanah dinner and I need tables and chairs. I called a couple places and they won't rent such a small amount. Is there any place that will rent just a few things?

–Heidi

Try Granny's. They rent just about anything, including just a few tables and chairs and even kids' tables and chairs.
