Vegan Treats Doughnuts at Atlas Café
Atlas Café at 73 2nd Avenue 2nd Ave in Manhattan is now carrying Vegan Treats doughnuts! So we went down there with our buddies Isa and Eppy and ate some. You can eat some too by going to Atlas on a Tuesday night. That's the day that they're delivered and, from what we understand, they're gone by Wednesday!
Boston Cream
Boston Cream was always my favorite doughnut! With sweet chocolate, tangy custard and fried dough, how can you go wrong? Well, I was nervous that the vegan version might not be the same, but my fears were unfounded. It was awesome and very authentic! They got everything just right, even the custard which seems like it would be tricky to do vegan. -Jim
Rainbow Sprinkled
Mmmmmm. Donuts. This was the simplest and my favorite of the bunch. Good enough to fool Homer Simpson. A classic, undeniably donutty flavor and texture, lightly glazed and topped with colorful sprinkles. I loved it! It even smelled like heaven. (This, of course, is based on my assumption that heaven smells like dessert.) -Ev
Coconut Cream
Ok so imagine this, you take the Boston Cream doughnuts I described above, but instead of chocolate, you put sugary sweet glaze and toasted coconut on top. The end result: an even better doughnut for a coconut lover like myself. Coconut is one of my favorite dessert flavors (as evidenced by the ChoCofCo, my brilliant contribution (ok, not so much a contribution as a suggestion) to Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World), so this doughnut was like heaven to me. The same awesome custard in the same awesome doughnut, but coconutty! Yes! -Jim

High end recession dining deals. Includes my fav Perry St. lunch deal, but *tons* of others. Damn. I think there are going to be lots of places going under at these prices.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jeff Krulik: Nuggets
Tuesday, January 6, 2008 at 7:30 pm 55 33rd Street, 3rd Floor Brooklyn, New York
Aficionados of pop culture detritus know Jeff Krulik as co-director, with John Heyn, of the legendary Heavy Metal Parking Lot, the definitive fan-thropological study of drunken Judas Priest devotees cavorting outside Marylandıs now-defunct Capitol Centre arena in 1986. But true heads acknowledge the Krulik as Washington DCıs underground auteur of weird Americana; his oeuvre of over fifty documentaries take on everything from the secret history Lancelot Link, to a Congressional Librarianıs gargantuan porn collection, to the true tale of how Adolf Hitlerıs top hat ended up in some guyıs closet outside of Baltimore.
Light Industry kicks off 2009 by inviting Jeff up to New York to present rarities and tidbits of hidden rock history culled from his personal archive and current projects, including...
Heavy Metal Picnic: Created from a recently unearthed trove of fan-made video, a look at what was going on in the Maryland suburbs a full year before the genesis of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. ³This guy went to a big party in a field with hundreds of metalheads without any policejust a giant bacchanalian party with local doom metal bands,² says Jeff. ³He took a camera and a stolen mic from CBS News and basically made a home movie.²
Led Zeppelin Played Here: 1969 was the year Led Zeppelin broke, and their first Washington area concert was a local youth center gymnasium on the night of Richard Nixon's inauguration. Seeking out evidence for this historic show, Led Zeppelin Played Here uncovers the truth behind the tall tales of local rock lore.
Ambassador Theater Psychdedelic Memories: An oral history of the Ambassador Theater, Washington, DC's psychedelic concert and dance hall, which opened in the Summer of 1967. It didn't last long, but its short memorable run included five straight nights of Jimi Hendrix for $2 admission, the Hollies, Moby Grape and a drunken rant by Norman Mailer.
Plus, other surprises to pepper the evening. According to Jeff, heıll also have Heavy Metal Parking Lot cued up if people really want to watch it again.
Followed by a discussion between Krulik and critic Michael Azerrad, author of Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991.
Tickets - $7, available at door.
About Light Industry
Light Industry is a new venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New York. Developed and overseen by Thomas Beard and Ed Halter, the project has begun as a series of weekly events at Industry City in Sunset Park, each organized by a different artist, critic, or curator. Conceptually, Light Industry draws equal inspiration from the long history of alternative art spaces in New York as well its storied tradition of cinematheques and other intrepid film exhibitors. Through a regular program of screenings, performances, and lectures, its goal is to explore new models for the Presentation of time-based media and foster an ongoing dialogue amongst a wide range of artists and audiences within the city.
About Industry City
Industry City, an industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, is home to a cross-section of manufacturing, warehousing and light industry. As part of a regeneration program intended to diversify the use of its 6 million square feet of space to better reflect 21st century production, Industry City now includes workspace for artists. In addition to offering studios at competitive rates, Industry City also provides a limited number of rent-stabilized studios for artists in need of low-cost rental space. This program was conceived in response to the lack of affordable workspace for artists in New York City and aims to establish a new paradigm for industrial redevelopment--one that does not displace artists, workers, local residents or industry but instead builds a sustainable community in a context that integrates cultural and industrial production.

Will Ferrell plays Alec Gert, an egotistical, obnoxious bocce player at the top of his profession. He and his sidekick, played by Chris Parnell, seem invincible until their dominance is threatened by a new rival. Alec Gert's excessive pride causes him to spiral downward to comical lows. When he is at the depths of despair, he removes his shirt and bellows, Praise Delilah. My tower is a galloping trapeze!
After a wacky training process featuring a surprise cameo by Owen Wilson and a marginally-developed romantic subplot, he enters into a climactic showdown with his rival and emerges victorious - but not without learning a thing or two about friendship.

Indeed, watching her lecture for an hour without once referring to a specific work of art while combing through the rebus of her career made me think of Smith as Papillion as memorably portrayed by Steve McQueen: bars, tests, drudgery and deprivation cannot contain her.ha ha. dead link. "this video removed by user." got to be a damned good reason.

As to her own distinguished work, Roberta is both humble and jejune, saying that "she doesnt mind being a consumer guide for art" and that art criticism itself is "pure, strange and peculiar." Hard to imagine, considering the unique power that Leo Castelli famously claimed for her ("all you have to do is read Roberta Smith on Friday morning to know what shows to see"), but Roberta maintains that dealers often say to her, "Why dont you just review shows that you like?", to which she confesses to enjoying writing negative reviews as much as raves (here! here!).
