Middle Eastern Pipe Sucking

February 29th, 2008 | Culture, Food

Steinway. It is a pretty major Middle Eastern community that takes about 15 minutes of walking effort to get to from my house. We’ve been there a couple of times, but we usually stick to our Greek eateries right around our house. Last Saturday, not wanting to go to the city but [...]

Dunkin’ Donuts

February 27th, 2008 | Culture, Food

This is one establishment that was mostly unknown to me prior to moving to the east coast. There is good reason for this: California hates Dunkin’ Donuts. It couldn’t be less Californian. They tried to get into California and we rejected their ‘nuts! But, despite me being a Californian through and through, [...]

The Snow has ARRIVED!

February 23rd, 2008 | Weather

Finally, after so many months of anticipation of the snow and it’s associated conveniences, we got (by my estimation) SIX INCHES of the white stuff! This was yesterday (Friday) morning… what better way to start the weekend! Walking to work with no waterproof shoes was almost the highlight of the day, but then [...]

February 20th, 2008 | Culture

One of the joys of living in New York is riding the subway. Every morning I somehow go underground, between two islands, under a river and countless skyscrapers to do my average day’s work. Lucky for me, I get to share this experience with dozens of fellow residents everyday.
This morning I was fully [...]

European Football

February 19th, 2008 | Culture

I am slowly tiptoeing into the world of UEFA (United European Football Association, I think) over the past few months. This all started while roaming around the East Village, intoxicated, looking for one last stop to close out the night. Whomever I was with and I stopped off in this place called NEVADA [...]

victim of the weather

February 13th, 2008 | Human Stupidity, Weather

Yesterday something unprecedented in my walking home from work history happened: I found out dress shoes are like tiny sleds in the snow and I fell down. Yes, tragic, I know.
I was just cruising down the sidewalk on 31st ave, wondering what the fuck I’m doing here enjoying the beautiful snow falling from the sky [...]

New Yorkers Love Straws

February 6th, 2008 | General

The inhabitants of this city do something very odd.  People use straws religiously here.  It does not matter the beverage, people will use a straw to drink it. This is wrong and must be stopped before the OCD spread overtakes the rest of the nation.

I can understand the use of a straw in a fountain [...]

Have you been high today?

The Indians strike back tonight. Begin embed in page and your MIND:

Not as great as the namesake but somewhat more provocative!

This is going to be where the search and other helpful things go. Patience baldies!
