In Vino
In Vino: Step away from St. Mark's and all the NYU kids. Move down a couple of blocks and over an avenue and you're on one of the quieter streets in the East Village. Tucked (if you can describe the modest location any other way) on

I Buy Junk Food
My friend stellargirl just had a post about what websites she frequents a lot. I am a big fan of Lifehacker as of late. I was thinking... you get to know a lot about a person based on their web visits. What else can you attached a personality test to?

The National rocks
Since I am on a music kick (and am building back my collection one song at a time) -- Imma give a shout out to The National. Love love love their work on "Alligator", especially a track called Geese of Beverly Road. And! They're coming to

B Cup (B is for Brazil)
Yikes. Seems like they were waiting for the streets to empty before doing this shot and I just stepped right into the frame.

Snowed Out
The first night we set up camp well after dark, and after a few choice words that would make most people blush, I abandoned my efforts to pitch a proper tent and piled in with Ink and Hamlet, packed like pressed deli meats in the freezer.

Two cities
Conversations overheard absurd werd: Hipster enclave: a coffeeshop in the Village [A] Like omigod I had dinner with David the other night and like all he talked about was Elizabeth; I mean, he didn't even know her name two weeks ago and now it's non-stop, honestly.
Food
East Village meals under $5
I found two new good eats in the East Village today. Both are locally run and make their ingredients fresh and on-site. Nicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches (150 E. 2nd Street). Fresh warm baguettes, savory meats and dark coffee. Up here in Manhattan, I don't get a lot

In like a Lion..
It was 75 degrees two days ago, and now there's a snowstorm. Crazy! I don't mind. I love snowstorms – probably cause I don't have to trudge to work. Tomorrow if it holds I'll hopefully have a chance to snap some photos. Some

Grown Up
We had dinner at the Stanton Social tonight as a little thing for Marjorie's going away to London thing. I cannot say enough good things about this place.. so just take a look at their menu. Instead of ordering large portions, you can order lots of little things
