Great meal at last week Marlow. Epic meal at WD for Valentine's. Will write about them soon. But finally went to the new (-ish) sushi place in the hood tonight and: O. My. God. Sushi UO. 151 Rivington. Chef (what do you say? Sushi master?) was previously at 15 East, and Masa before that. Had several of the best things I've ever eaten. Divine. Highly recommended.
The Wine Trials

Can't find the droid thread. But got some more info. I haven't tried it, but a colleague recommended
pdanet for tethering (i.e. using the droid as a wireless broadband modem for a computer). Verizon doesn't offer that feature, but this app makes it work.
just saw a movie; trouble the water. It is about Katrina-- amazing! Has anyone else seen it?
So, due to some sort of security breach, our virtually wooden computer cracked into the Momofuko Ko rest. zone and snagged two spots for last night....I was clicking away on their site like a fucking Rhesus monkey to confirm and all, given the stress that ensues when dealing with their system....After I calmed down only then it dawned on me that I had to figure out how the hell I was going to pay for this...Anyway, would have to say was totally worth it...I don't know, maybe I don't get out much, but this was pretty great. Ten or so courses, best maybe first 6- vibrant fresh sushi/crudo items, tiny amazing oyster (dont ask what kind) came first..Then various little tortelliini w/duck in pretty crazy salty broth which worked best w/intense basil leaves,,,def too salty on own, but had it all anyway...great torn pasta w/snail&something sausage and crispy chicken skin, raw fluke w/buttermilk poppyseed combo, now classics (I guess) soft cooked egg w/caviar and tiny chips, sweet ass onions...& the shaved foie thing delivered for sure...then some duck platter...to be continued...

Hmmm ....
Finally pulled the plug on the land line. Sorry Verizon, but $40+ a month for nuisance calls just ain't worth the "security." The pre-paid cell costs me less than $100 a year.
