the brownstone diner in jersey city SUCKS! go to hard grove, vips or als but do NOT GO TO THE BROWNSTONE DINER!!!!!!!
i noticed via the futon critic that dirt was premiering tonight on fx. ive seen stared at a million ads featuring some old peter gabriel tune which i can nearly conjure but cant name. i thought it would be some funny cosmic joke if the impressionistic ads kept running but the show never actually aired (this way it can never be panned. canny career move) and that wed forever be pondering the hardening lines of courtney cox emaciating skull.
this time we've gone too far

HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we're going to get him. Still don't have him. I know you are saying there's successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That's a failure.
TOWNSEND: Well, I'm not sure -- it's a success that hasn't occurred yet. I don't know that I view that as a failure.

4) Aburiya Kinnosuke 213 East 45th......Cooked Japanese places have been poping up all over in 05/06, and some like Sakagura have been open 10 years. This is my fav of the bunch w/amazing chicken meatloaf, tofu many ways, and plenty of other tasty treats (r u ready for grilled dried fish??)....

jamon imberico
Until now it has been unavailable in the U.S. Finally last fall the first producer in Spain was approved by the U.S. Government to export Iberico products to the U.S. Of course it takes a couple of years to produce a Jamon, so we are taking deposits on the scarce first shipments which will arrive in 2007-2008.
Christopher Hitchens on why he thinks women aren’t as funny as men, (ok, with the exception of rita rudner - ah hahahaha)
i hope the money they offer him for rocky 7 will bring him back out of retirement.
what the fuck is an "embargoed" interview? is that like self-censorship or was woodward hoarding this so hed have some fresh quotes in the event of fords death?
5) Sripraphai (aka Super Thai) 6413 39th Ave, Woodside....here is also tied for "dishs of the year"; fried soft shell crabs and fried watercress salad apps, both amazing....this place makes for great leftovers, sauces rock....it is spicy, $10-$15 corkage, bring very fruity wine, I like to order "medium spicy" to be wine friendly...GO!
6) Trestle on Tenth 24th corner 10th Ave.....love this place for the well priced "natural" wine list plus the hearty food...love the crepinette which is tied for "dishs of the year", lamb saddle, ribs, and at lunch the chicken Vol au Vent is not to be missed.....
7) Tia Pol....even though the menu stays the same I love this place, and almost all the menu (the lovely owners are opening in thier own words "a real tapas restaurant" next spring, I am going everyday for a week!! And I know it will rock the 07 charts)
