Here are shots of Kirsten and I running around NYC with our pals Naowna & Annie in October ‘09. We stayed with them in Bushwick and ate amazing food…some highlights include Roberta’s pizza, Diner on Grand St (their bone-in ribeye killed me, ah so good with a shot of Gosling dark rum), brunch at Moto and arroz con gandules from the restaurant around the corner from the apartment. The taxidermy-wolf-pictures are from Nan’s place of employment, Alexis Bittar. We walked across the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges, checked out Brooklyn Flea, walked some more, ate, walked, etc. I had a great time and I think I can sense why Brooklyn has pulled so many friends into its orbit over the years. I don’t have a great description of this feeling yet…
Our pal Naowna took us out to Diner on Grand last night…I died from pleasure sharing a bone-in ribeye while Kirsten dined on bass. Our appetizers were also amazing…roasted Brussels sprouts with a maple syrup & bacon fat glaze, muah ha ha. This was a nice way to end a rain-soaked evening…the finest food & catching up with old pals. Now we’re having brunch at Moto in Williamsburg…Naowna loves their grilled doughnuts. I am excited about a breakfast beer (Guinness & a shot of espresso).
If I moved to Brooklyn I would eat arroz con gandules every day, damn…muy sabroso. Then again, I could just buy some Goya gandules at Safeway back home & make ‘em every day. Having ‘em available at a corner restaurant is quite romantic & convenient, claro que si.
Bugged-out with Flying Lotus’ “Los Angeles” record, en route to Chicago, grateful for catsitters, wish I’d skipped a doughy bagel & had spam sushi instead

Not sure your geek friends will “get” your Kate Gosselin costume? Think ghosts, witches and slutty cats are for Halloween n00bs? Be the (internet) sensation of any Hallow’s Eve party with Know Your Meme’s Hallow-meme Costume Builder. Our internet scientists have crafted easy-to-follow costume recipes for your favorite memes, from Afro Ninja to Zombie McCain.
Last Halloween Kirsten went as an Om Nom Nom Nom image and I went as a poster child of the Stuff White People Like blog (clad in one of me three trusty Pea Coats, of course). We didn’t have the Hallow-meme Costume Builder to help us. This year we’re going to our friend’s costume party with outfits that require a little less explanation. I will be your friendly neighborhood ’50s Wolfman and Kirsten will be a very charming Mummy.
