The single thing I hate about NYC

On any given day there are too many amazing fun things to do and I can’t fit it all in. Which one of my favorite bands should I go see and which can I afford to miss? Or should it be comedy? But what about that lecture and book signing? And don’t forget that party. Maybe I can fit that one in after the beach.

Dear Chipotle,

Why is there only one location in Brooklyn? We are bigger and tougher than Manhattan. Manhattan is also full of models and stuff so it would stand to reason that we probably eat more here in Brooklyn. Except for Williamsburg because they’re too cool and/or coked up to eat so don’t bother with that one. But have you seen some of those motherfuckers at Atlantic Center? I have no doubt those peeps are hungry for a giant burrito. Also, I am hungry for a giant burrito. Please advise.

“Ruslana Korshunova, 20, whose face has graced the cover of French Elle and Russian Vogue, apparently jumped from her ninth-floor apartment in her Water Street building in the Financial District just before 2:30 p.m.” - NY Post How sad! :(

Rock & Roll, Pizza, and Ltd. Ed Art. Finally I have a reason to go to Manhattan. (Paper via Brooklynvegan:) The East Village rocker boys behind Bowery Electric, Jesse Malin and Johnny T, along with Kevin Cole (of Two Boots fame), have teamed up, all in the name of pizza. The rock ‘n’ roll trio is the force behind The Pizza Shop, located on Avenue A and 7th Street, which officially has its grand opening tonight [June 25, 2008]. The spot has been serving pizza since the 1960s, but the new owners decided to gussy up the space a bit……All the pizza boxes are limited edition prints. According to a press release we received: “Around 1500 of each box style is made and then never reproduced. The first one being a photo of The Clash from 1979 taken by world famous rock photographer Bob Gruen. Each box will have a different image created by well known and local artists featuring their particular style and medium and these boxes are free with a purchase of any pizza.” As we mentioned earlier, tonight’s the opening, so if you’re in the hood, stop by for your very own signed Bob Gruen pizza box!”

Speaking of Mister Softee (and it’s not surprising to hear he does late-night drug runs - I figured there had to be something scientifically addictive added to that ice cream). Has anyone noticed the lengths the imposters go to to rip Mister Softee off? In Red Hook there is a truck that looks almost identical to a Mister Softee but plays generic ice cream music and is actually called “Mister Sof-t”. You really can’t fuck with the original. I heard they used to have actual wars - like ice cream man on ice cream man violence. Soft serve is apparently a crazy business!

If you don’t like people, all kinds of people, and aren’t willing to accept their peculiarities and their choices about how they live their lives, go live somewhere else. If you moved to Brooklyn for the peace and quiet you were only kidding yourself: go live somewhere else. If you renovate a loft but the homeless guys still seek shelter in your doorway, and you can’t stand what that does to your property value, sell the loft and go live somewhere else. The last thing New York City is about is you. Thank god.
Extremely well said, supernice!

Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit at The Guggenheim - cool but not worth $18. They’re doing renovations on the wings that house the permanent exhibits, so his work  has pretty much taken over the whole remaining portion of the museum. It was interesting, but I was out in under 30 minutes and a little bored after the first 10.
