Mamoun’s Falafel

May 31st, 2009 | Uncategorized

Falafels are basically my taco/burrito substitute here in NYC. There are a few places that I would recommend to a visitor and one of those would certainly be Mamoun’s. I was first introduced to Mamoun’s by some guy on a bus and have been a fan for many months. Last fall I ate there a [...]

Please Don’t Tell

May 27th, 2009 | Activities, Nightlife

On my buddy’s very last night in the colonies before returning to the UK, my buddy Graham, myself and a couple of others had a real random night. We started off with Thirsty Club, went to get free pizzas at the Croc, found ourselves in a penthouse looking over the city, got some Dudes at [...]

Taco Trek

May 26th, 2009 | Culture, Food

You know me and tacos. I love them, but can’t find many worth uno peso here. It’s a never ending quest for me to find redemption in this city, sometimes going to great lengths to fill the void in my life.

Fine Champagne

May 24th, 2009 | Culture, Food

On Mother’s Day we upped the class level and drank some Francis Ford Coppola champagne. Unfortunately, our attempt to elevate our status was halted due in part to the fact the champagne came from a can with a straw glued to the side!

Now if using the same packaging as a Mott’s Apple Juice doesn’t promote [...]

The Shake Shack Shackburger

May 14th, 2009 | Culture, Food

People fill you full of hope, ambission and ultimately, LIES! Well, it’s not quite that dramatic, but for me, the Shake Shack’s Shackburger was supremely hyped up by people who claim they know burgers. These people claim the Shackburger is on par with the gold standard of fast food burgers: In-N-Out. Finally, after two years [...]

Sorry for the recent neglect.. been super busy with not a lot of blog-worthy things, but I’ve got a few I’m working on and a very active weekend coming up, so you’ll have plenty of bald seal fodder very soon.
In the meantime, check out my Flickr Photostream. The pics there are all, 100%, taken on [...]

Cherry Blossom Festival

May 5th, 2009 | Culture, Escapes, Weather

This wasn’t my idea to go to this event, and I went with two women, so don’t judge my appreciation of it
The Brooklyn Bontanic Garden has apparently the largest concentration of cherry blossom trees outside JAPAN. Hence the need for a festival and therefore a large gathering of hippies. Yes, read that right, [...]

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