that's so true. one time there was this guy talking to a bobblehead toy. he was yelling at it.

i like to wear pants with big pockets so i don't have to bring a bag - i hate having to carry a bag.

there are two locations:

76 grand and 28 wooster. and now one in brooklyn, at 110 n. 1st street (yes, billyburg)

in manhattan the zip code is 10013.

or to the nappy dugout. whichever you prefer.

first time i went to cbgb i told a friend ... his response was "oh, i'm sorry." haha.

kelley and ping is okay...not my pick for asian food tho.

1. sugar sweet sunshine

126 rivington street

sister bakery to magnolia

2. caracas arepas bar

east 7th st at 1st ave

tiny venezuelan joint - arepas, empanadas, dessert. filling and very reasonably priced.

3. chikalicious dessert bar

east 10th at 2nd ave

3 course prix-fixe dessert - try the darjeeling panna cotta and peach sorbet. i went there with a friend and had my own dessert and he ordered the panna cotta and i ate most of it. oops.

4. the cloisters

fort tryon park

semi-outdoor gothic museum - escape from the city within the city. closes early, so it's something to do during the day. a nice change from shopping

5. free internet at the mac store.

6. typhoon lounge

st. marks place at 1st ave

quite possibly my favorite japanese restaurant in nyc.

7. yakitori taisho

st. marks place at 3rd ave

comes in a very close second.

8. ino

95 bedford

wine bar + bruschettas, panini and tramezzini. antipasto platters. super reasonable and really really good - used to come at least once a week when i lived on the west side.

inoteca

98 rivington

sister restaurant to ino - more variety in food and wine but also a little pricier. great atmosphere.

9. chinese food

congee village

100 allen st.

good for groups. karaoke downstairs. food is good and cheap.

for dimsum, jing fong

on elizabeth below canal

10. mamoun's falafel

119 macdougal

open late, til 5am - great place to go after partying, plus it's dirt cheap.
