Anti-Bush T-Shirt Performance Art
On Sunday, Toby Joe and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge in order to check out the 9/11 WTC memorial in downtown Manhattan. I knew it was going to be an emotional day and figured I should try and make the best of it by throwing myself directly into it. It took us about an…

Pure Food and Wine: The Post Where I Sound Uber Snobby and Talk Entirely Too Much About Food
Yesterday, after a discussion about food with a woman I work with, Toby Joe and I took her up on a suggestion and headed to a raw restaurant called Pure Food and Wine. Pure Food and Wine is pricey, but it’s well worth the splurge. Located on Union Square East, it has to fight with…

We are trying something different this weekend on Self-Portrait Day. I have opened up the site to New Yorkers who experienced 9/11/01.
