Georgia luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a crash on the eve of the Games.
Steaks at Peter Luger are well worth the trip across the Williamsburg Bridge.

Serious carnivores should make the pilgrimage to Brooklyn's Peter Luger Steakhouse.
Certainly the Luger is an unusual item but more common to Switzerland where ex-army personnel were allowed to retain their weapons.
And Peter Luger 's chops and steaks are simply the best anywhere.
But it is thought to be a Luger, an early model issued to the Swiss army before World War I, a collector's item.
The start of the Games was overshadowed by the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili and there have been ongoing problems caused by unsuitable weather.
British luger Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski was killed during practice two weeks before on the Igls Olympic track, and Australian skier Ross Milne died during training for the same Games.
With an injury doubt surrounding Dan Luger, Northampton wing Cohen will be looking for an impressive performance after being dropped for the first Test against South Africa in Pretoria.
Dan Luger wears the England jersey for the first time since his return from a seven-month injury lay-off in a backline which boasts only one other capped player, fullback Tim Stimpson.
England will be without their most potent weapon at Pretoria, winger Dan Luger, but his replacement Ben Cohen is champing at the bit to impress after losing his place to Luger.

Bronze medallist Alex Coomber, the women's bobsleigh team, luger Mark Hatton, speed skater Debbie Palmer - and of course Fiona MacDonald's husband Ewan, were whistling and cheering every time our girls blasted the Swiss stone or added another point to the scoreboard.
You can order direct from some steakhouses, like The Palm or Peter Luger (which for the record, I have never liked), from some local butchers who specialize in it, or from a place like DeBragga that specializes in both aging it and shipping it.
