Great meal at WD-50 last night. First time I've been in about a year I think. The place was packed! Apparently that thrid star really helps fill the house. Thanks to the Big D for squeezing us in.
We did the tasting menu. Highlights for me were the "Eggs Benedict," the Busted Foie, and the Duck, along with several of the desserts (especially the yogurt stick thingie.)
What an amazing strange great place it is.

fact of the day:
95 percent of the water supply is delivered to New York City by gravity alone. The downhill flow creates enough pressure to shoot the water as high as six stories in most parts of the city without electricity or pumping.

Math is haaaarrrrrrd.
splurged on a
shave and a haircut today. wish the haircut was a little more even which is why i splurged to begin with instead of going to the much cheaper place on st. marks. but i really like the place as barbershops go. and they do a fair amount of business so im not alone in thinking that.
also, apparently there is no such thing as a trim. barbers only know "cut." get a pair of scissors in their hands and theres no stopping them.
