Overheard In Williamsburg: Glass Houses
Ordinarily I would hand something like this off to my friends at Overheard In New York but this one is too damned good NOT to post here. Sorry folks!
I was walking down Roebling Street at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon when a group of 15-something young men rounded the corner and proceeded to walk in front of me. I was trying not to pay attention to what they were talking about but after I overheard the following corker I was hooked:
…(she) said don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house. I don’t live in a glass house; I live in the projects. That’s what I told the teacher!
God I love teenagers.

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Ho! Ho! Ho!
Although I am not into this kind of thing there is something to be about the industriousness of Rush Hour’s latest viral marketing campaign. Inasmuch as I can tell they have filled every pay phone kiosk on Manhattan Avenue with these cards.

Tonight the Mister and I finally got around to giving Kestane Kebab a whirl. We were surprised by how busy they were for a Tuesday night. After we sampled their wares, however, we understood why: their food is absolutely, mind-bending delicious! Go. NOW.
