Massively
multiplayer scabble on a *giant* board. A little slow for me, but the board is incredible. Very cool idea.
seriously yummy, but a little pricey, especially on toast with apple butter (thanks j & b for the awesome apple butter!)
Best Taco NYC (and up there for world)....while no expert on where other good taco's are, had some in Merida once, the fish ones we good at Bonita in Willy'sBurg past, folks speak of the goat ones on 10th ave in the high 40's....
Well a Mexican clan of folks whom have a place on Playa del Carmen, I am veggie these day so had only the two offerings (corn and peppers winning), but the meat looked and smelled great. The design while cool might not handle a rush well. Met the super nice owner (whom bought me a taco), and it looks like he brought all the staff with him....

Saw six very early Trisha Brown (
WikiP entry) dance pieces performed yesterday at the Whitney. Intimate and clever, the dances happened literally in and among the crowd with the exception of one piece ("Walking on the Wall" 1971) where the dancers were suspended overhead dancing on the walls. The first piece ("Accumulation" 1971) was, strangely for me, a sort of deconstructed hippie dance to the entire LP version of the the Grateful Dead's Uncle John's Band. Afterwards everyone went outside for the final piece where a traffic stopping throng of gawking New Yorkers watched dancer Elizabeth Streb walk down the exterior of the building ("Man Walking Down the Side of a Building" 1970.)
The
NY Times had a nice write up of the Thursday performance. Couple pictures in the comments.
