• Egg, a short review.

So, in need of sustenance, and in a deep haze called The Uncommonly Terrible Cold, I made it out yesterday for brunch at Egg, on North 5th nr. Bedford in Williamsburg.
In a word, awesome. Tip of the hat to Sweeetheartfever, the blogger whose name I’ve still somehow yet to learn, as she recommended Egg as [...]

• The Daily Ritual: Coffee

“Small Iced Coffee, Unsweetened.”
That’s how I order my coffee. Usually done at the Starbucks on 23rd and Park Ave South. Which is around the corner from my office.
Preamble first, so you see where I’m coming from on this habit that most have been on forever. Before, let’s call it, senior year of college, I didn’t [...]

• Hipsters in McDonalds Commercials For Non-Conformity

And I quote:
Here’s to nonconformity!
Hipsterism, you’ve hereby jumped, and been eaten by, the shark.

• Three The Fast Way Monday

The Beast
This is Two Boots Pizza’s Bayou Beast Pizza. That’s BBQ Shrimp, Crawfish, Andouille, and a very very generous dousing of Jalapeños. This is the Greatest Least-New-York Pizza Ever. I mean it’s made in New York City, but at first sight, it’s not of the city that’s so prideful of the tomato and cheese lathered [...]

Super(ior) part 1 (or: I cannot sleep and am posting this at 5 am)

From Saturday to Tuesday, the theme of this 4 day stretch is simply: Super(ior). Chronology-wise, something I’ve been known to express thoughts based upon, it starts yesterday with a concert I’ll explain on Tuesday, but now, I focus on the evening of Super Bowl XLII.
To try and avoid alienating those Patriots fans who still read [...]

New Year’s Eve Lessons, the Henry Casey way.

Things I Learned from 12-31-07 and the first 5 hours of 2008 (reverse order):

Even if you hate Apple Earbuds, like I do, you might want to pack them and your iPod in your jacket for the suppression of the less than likable fellow train-riders at 4:30am.
If you’re waiting for food really late at night, and [...]

Sound Fixes, BarFries, and Bowling For Daniel Day Lewis: A Year In Review, Starting at the End

If you lived in a neighborhood for three fourths of a year, and never went to the local music store, what would you call yourself? Hipsterphobic fits me, I guess. I know, I know, I’ve got hipster tendencies, but the area around the Bedford avenue stop was something to rarely enter. Something to inspired cockeyed [...]

Something … Actually a lot of things … Good

So Pakistan’s going into even-more-fuckeds-ville territory for the time being, and you know I don’t have much to say about that that some of my contemporaries won’t be able to say better.
Instead, a restaurant reccomendation: Yuka. Balls to the wall all out All You Can Eat Sushi.

$20 a head. Amazingly fresh fish. The Eel Hand [...]

“Slutty Food”

CORRECTION: by ‘yesterday’ I meant Saturday, as Sunday’s when I started to write this.
I woke up yesterday about as far gone as one can wake up. Terrible hangovers don’t work well with an inability to see at all. Why was my vision so blurry? I was minus my glasses. Don’t worry though, I got them [...]
