The last time I was in New York I got mugged outside of the Sbarro' on Times Square at 3PM. No one helped me. I didn't lose a lot of money but my wallet with a few precious pictures, a couple of credit cards were taken from. No one helped me as I struggled with the beast who kicked me in the side after I was beaten in the face and thrown to the ground. Utterly humiliating. All this justified for a few french fries after midnight? I guess those really expensive small ass apartments with unmotivated supers makes up for all of that... along with the throngs of beggars, thieves, drug addicts, dope pushers and talentless musicians cluttering the streets day and night in front of those shops selling pommes frites to all hours and all manner of men, women and thugs.

Mohawks rule, man!The only flick where Jody Foster was HOT. If it weren't for this film I never would have moved to NYC.

I totally agree. Best pizza in New York is V&T, up by Columbia. Best pizza anywhere, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but I've lived here most of my life and I've NEVER been mugged, assaulted, or anything like that.

Yes, Alex, other cities do have druggies, pimps, whores, thieves, maggots and other bits and pieces of flotsom and jetsom. However, they are not the thundering heard they are in NYC nor are they considered part of the normal social landscape as they are in the big apple. What kind of person loses his shit just because they can get a corned beef sandwich made to order at three in the morning? I guess it is the same kind of person who can't see that it's the same place where there is a rape happening in broad daylight in front of a subway car full of deaf dumb and blind folks every fifteen minutes.

Oh, Orca. I did not think I could get much more excited than the imagery of Mission of Burma in close proximity to Famous Ray's, but you had to then bring up KATZ DELICATESSEN!!!!
My goodness, and all the "Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army" imagery.

Worchester seems to have a lot of Noize stuff going on.
Also, thanks for the Dresden Dolls tip kephm....

The BraveryThe Bravery are New York's latest coolest band and they're making their TV debut on Later. Their band name & songs are born out of the post 9/11 fear ridden NYC.
Does this band have a reputation back in NYC or they just a bunch of lucky chancers with good management?
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 8 November 2004 22:20 (nineteen years ago) link
Seemingly having come out of nowhere, they've pretty much knocked the City upside its unsuspecting head with their four week sold out standing room only residency at Arlene's Grocery
Which says everything, I suppose. I've never heard of them. I'm going to assume they're the kind of bland band that has the right haircuts, get's hyped, get's on Conan and has a record deal before anyone actually listens to the music. Then everyone will forget about them in a year. It happens all the time.

I heard a Bravery track today on BBC 6 Music sounded a bit generic dancey-punkfunk-rock circa 2002 - like an inferior version of Radio 4.

and there are 10 or 12 seats/barstools scattered about, so you've got to bring in AT LEAST A DOZEN PEOPLE before it truly becomes standing room only. do that four times in a row and you too can have a major label deal.
