Indeed, whenever she is asked where she lives, Ms. Katz answers Murray Hill, “but I say it with a sarcastic tone because I’m making fun of myself.”

This unfocused superficial story (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/23/fashion/weddings/23FIELD.html?hp) actually asks whether Prince WIlliam is getting married now because his rapidly receding hairline could soon lose him his heartthrob status. Never once brings up the fact that, you know, being heir to the throne of England might work to his dating advantage, hair or no hair.

That was a tiny big overwritten, but it wasn't annoying and he doesn't seem personally unlikable. And I was interested to read about what being fired from Harper's is like and I had never heard of these green not-virtual offices. I don't think we're supposed to feel sorry for him. The surreal-confusion thing he used to anchor the piece didn't totally work, but the article is like 500 words so whatever.

Yeah actually I don't mind this guy. Also I do appreciate his subtle takedown of the misuse/overuse of the word "surreal," regardless of whether it fit.

I dunno, I like that one? It's pretty archly self-aware.
I don’t normally believe in love at first sight, but at the end of that first lunch, I wanted to offer Victoria my sperm.
And I like the little details.
On the outside Victoria was poised, like the banker she is. But the cuticles on her elegant fingers were cracked and scabby, so I knew she had been nervous. I held her hand. She let me.

I swear by Doughnut Plant's tres leches doughnuts. Or was that dulce de leche? Whatever. It was awesome.
Haven't been to Peter Pan in ages. When I moved to Queens there was a place called Alpha Donuts that was just like Peter Pan, but then the donut guy moved back to Greece and they started buying them wholesale, leaving just an archaic charming shitty diner.

I recently ordered from then went to "Real Sante Fe Steakhouse". Weird place. Going for the gringo chips and margarita crowd but still authentic at the same time. They have tacos al pastor, on a spit with pineapple on top, and in the window they had this weird big pan in which they were cooking pig's ear for tacos. I had a good burrito and an ok steak. Decent delivery alternative to De Mole.
We should probably start a Queens thread.

we always walk by there on the way to de mole, it looks nice but maybe a little pricey?
