Lately I've had this thing where things happen in bunches. But since I can't really have separate food events in their separate posts, they'll just both converge here. A few days ago I read about the Edible Manhattan magazine launch party. It sounded cool, and for $10 dollars, probably the cheapest party you could find with food and booze. And the second half of this post will focus on Harvest on the Square, which was a fund raiser for Union Square. The ticket for that was north of $100. I couldn't afford that one, but even from the outside, it was a good time.... [Continue reading]
Yes, once again I am way way way late on the haiku. Hey, sometimes you gotta enjoy your weekend you know? This week the haiku is from... someone. It was there on the fridge when I got home on Sunday, and it was awesome. Not gonna lie, I barely drink coffee even though I love the taste.

I need to make an effort to be more on top of it. I was also feeling a little bit lazy, luckily my roommate's boyfriend (Justin, thanks!) came through again with another haiku. This is the great thing about having roommates, because you come home and all of a sudden there is a haiku on the fridge. It is like magic, but more poetic. The apartment is like a refuge for foodie Shakespeares, dusted with iambic pentameter and couplets. Sometimes, we will even make the haikus suitable for little kids (which means I did not write it), and we always have to think about the kids, right?... [Continue reading]
The Atlantic Antic was yesterday, September 30, 2007. It was a great day to take a stroll and take pictures, so I did just that. Here is your photographic recap of antic 2007 in Brooklyn Heights.... [Continue reading]
This past Saturday there was an oyster festival downtown by Stone St. I cannot recall any instances in the past where I consumed raw oysters, and this seemed like a good enough reason to give it a shot. Stone street was pretty packed by the time I had gotten there and the party was in full swing.... [Continue reading]
Apparently there's a lot that goes towards making an apartment a home. This shit never ends. Recently I installed some window air conditioning units.... [more]

You ever do this thing where you enjoy a meal, think it's OK on the price, then later on when you think back, you realize they gave you an order of... [more]
Sometimes it's very difficult to quantify the premium you pay for being in New York City. Even within city limits, pricing changes rapidly from one... [more]
