Eating Your Way Through the Big Apple : Chapter One
This is my first installment of, Eating your way through the Big Apple...
I'm a self-proclaimed foodie and I want to share with you mine and my peers favorite places.
Do you recall that survey I emailed you, you know the one you didn't respond to. Riiiight well I asked you all those questions to help compile a master list of "our" favorite places to dine. Living in New York City really allows you to explore the world through your taste buds and at any price range. I'm hoping to encourage you to try some of these places and hopefully suggest new ones I have yet to enjoy. These restaurants, at least the ones which I can vouch for are consistently superb. I don't f' with places that can't always get it right.

Armin to Get You Hammered: Bungalow 8 Doorman Is Opening His Own Joint
Armin to Get You Hammered: Bungalow 8 Doorman Is Opening His Own Joint : From the New York Observer
Those who have been waking up and night-shivering and sweating, possessed of one thought: Where in the world is irrepressible Bungalow 8 doorman Armin Amiri?—can rest easy.
“I’m shooting a movie with the Weinstein brothers called Crossing Over,” said Mr. Amiri, reached by phone on April 10. Oh, but there’s more: “I’m opening my own place on Jane Street and the West Side Highway. It’s a Cuban lounge in the style of 1940’s speakeasy.” The ground floor, he said, will be a “1930’s-style peasant café,” for all those million-dollar peasants that now populate the meatpacking district.
“It’s called Socialista!” said Mr. Amiri with gusto, adding soberly: “I believe in a healthy balance of capitalism and a socialism.”
Mr. Amiri is not aiming to recreate the exclusivity of Amy Sacco’s Bungalow 8, where he worked the door for five years. “I just want it to be really, really down low and quiet,” he said of the new place.
But the doors of Socialista, which is scheduled to open mid-May, will definitely be shut to one person: onetime “It” boy Fabian Basabe, currently suing Mr. Amiri after the doorman allegedly slapped him on June last year.
“Fabian is absolutely not allowed,” Mr. Amiri said.

Today's Office Humor
Some young woman in this office just came by desk and she asks Meredith (a co-worker). "Sooo you went to Boston this weekend. Isn't that South of us. (notice I used a period not a question mark)"
I interjected with .. "Are you serious? You really have no idea where Boston is!
Then I quizzed her asking her where DC was she said, "umm in Virginia, I mean I know you have to go through Jersey to get there." and I said, "Ok, then what geographical direction is that in from here, North, South, East or West?"
She says..."Ummmm West." Are you fucking kidding me. Her excuse was, "I'm from Florida" I said, "That is NO excuse." You should know basic geography.
This chic is employed?
A fucking JOKE.
And friend this is my anecdote for the day.

:Press Release:
Cutting edge cultural dialogue - Acclaimed British Muslim artist teams up with Arts Council England in groundbreaking US "Arts and Islam" tour
Mohammed Ali's unique fusion of aerosol art with Islamic calligraphy has taken an urban art form from street walls to galleries and spiritual art into new dimensions. His art has been reported as a "bridge of understanding" between faith communities across the world, and has been featured in international media ranging from CNN and the BBC to Al Jazeera. He has showcased his work across the UK, Dubai and Denmark and is looking forward to his first visit to the USA.
The tour is supported by Arts Council England, the national development agency for the arts in England. The Philips Academy, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), along with other cosponsors are hosting the Arts & Islam USA Tour featuring the acclaimed "urban Islamic" artist, Mohammed Ali of AerosolArabic. The Arts and Islam team will be visiting universities, arts organisations and community bodies across Chicago, New York, New Jersey and Boston.
In addition to the seminars, Mohammed Ali will be producing a series of commissioned spiritual murals, including a special mural in New York City commemorating the tragic death of 9 Bronx children who died in a blaze recently. Working with young people from all faith backgrounds, Mohammed will create wall murals reflecting the universal themes of spirituality and unity that connect people of all backgrounds and cultures. Mohammed has already produced a series of stunning murals across the UK which can be seen at the official Arts and Islam website http://www.artsandislam.com/murals
"The goal of this tour is to elucidate Islamic themes and messages through a medium which can universally be understood and appreciated by all. Mohammad Ali's work transcends artificial barriers such as ethnicity, nationality, class, and perceived religious differences which prevent us from understanding one another" said Azeem Khan, ICNA's Assistant Secretary General.
The schedule for the Arts and Islam USA programme is as follows:
