  1. i had the best pasta ive ever eaten at carnevino. lamb ragout. unbeleiveable. also, if you get in on the discount, theres a 2000 cain concept that comes out to about $80 and is fucking epic with red meat. i sent my brother there when he laid over n his bday and called the maitre d to comp his meal on my behlaf, they were so accomdating it was unreal. i fucking love that place.

    check aureole. its pretty good for upper-middle-contemporary-french-leaning-nouveau-american-seasonal-all-truffle-everything cuisine.

  2. just finished this:

    A great book by a smart, sharp writer. It's about this mountain in Las Vegas called Yucca where the government was planning to store nuclear waste. Also about the city Las Vegas, suicide, humanity, language.

    my bookstore dude rec'd that to me the otehr day, i i picked it up for later on but it seems promising. i might have to bump that ahead in my list.

  3. theres an issue of monocle on every surface of every living space in my apartment. people just pull them off shelves and leave them everywhere.

    i keeo glenn o briens book on my toilet tank and it finds its way around my apartment. noone sits on my couch so a cofee table book wouldnt get looked at. i guess i have the house everyone comes to to take shits or something.

  4. i actaully think vegas is a great place to dine. ive been looped into going to some places that ride on some tv chefs rep but ive had some amazing meals. carnevino was fucking increible. and if you go after 9pm amd sit in the bar, food and wine is all %20 off. which is actually sweet if youre gonna be out al night to have a huge fucking meal that ends around midnight.

    ive eaten at aureole twice and loved it both times. smith and wollenskys isnt exactly cutting edge, but its an experience in its own right.

  5. Only liking amarone is like saying you only date strippers. Is this a flavor preference or that your pallette is too unsophisticated to catch the nuances of a wine that isn't a dried out juggernaught of body and richness? I assume that's not the case if you also like ripasso, but maybe you should take another step back and try a really good valpolicella. Try a quinterreli valpolliciella superiore and you'll see how an off vintage wine by a great producer can trump a decent wine by a less stubborn producer who relies on all that extra smoke and mirrors to make his wine palatable.

    Having said that, the genre of wine you're in is kinda a shitty one to start from as amarones are typically way more expensive and have much more quality fluctuation that's hardly relative to pricepoint. You're drinking bottles that are probably between $25 - $100 that aren't really as good as what you'd get forthright price if you focussed on somewhere like Tuscany. Plus Sangiovese and Italian grown bordelaise varietals are just way more versatile than rondinella and corvina.

    Just try different stuff. Put a guildalberto up against your zenatto amarone and see what it is your liking more/less from one or the other and then find that characteristics in other varietals.

  6. Negro please.. You must love Korean fobs if you're putting the Capitol of uggs/lulus/fakebake over TO. We have the white girl market cornered as far as anglo provinces are concerned. All you have is hockey riot grrls.

  7. Heflys: good looks on those lemar tracks. I'm almost a fan. He's one element away from some great shut and ima relisten to those and try to pit my finger on it for you. There's definitely potential but I would still say it's half baked. Let me bump on some real speakers and come back at you.

  8. The last thing I want is cats dumb enough to live in the beaches having access to the real world though. You bout to fuck up my whole everything if that happens. I pray gas gets infinity tomes more expensive just to curb that shit. I'll declare jihad on rob ford if they bixi out beaches, straight up.

  9. That weeknd shit is crazy good. I only heard the Kendrick track posted a few posts ago, if there's an entire tape, shoot it to me and I'll get to it and cone back with a more informed opinion. As far as weeknd goes though, it's been a long while since I've been hyped about some rnb shit. I expect epicness. Some friends that know the vocalist and guitar player have told me they are being courted with some highly lucrative but generally wack record deals. So they could go either way. I just want 2 more free albums of smooth gloom and then they can get paid like Kesha And i won't say shit.

    Cool kids is whatever whatever. That Lamar joint is Nah, not yet. Too half baked. There's potential there, but it's not complete yet. That intro is str8 butt, though. Come again.

  11. The bike depots just aren't accessible for locals. If you live in the core you can walk, if you're slightly outside, you're fucked. If you're a tourist, it's incredible. They need a more off-subway friendly system. Niggas in the finance district are too baller to cycle so don't put them there. If Bellwoods doesn't constitute a hub over anywhere else in the city, the city's straight fuckin up. I foresee this program not growing to where it needs to be because Ford would rather put more gas stations downtown than solve a traffic dillema.
