I have written about No. 7 Subs before. Usually, I don’t repeat restaurant reviews, but No. 7 deserves it. In my opinion, No. 7 Subs should be in charge of making all sandwiches in the world from here on out. Everything they make is amazing and as long as they keep changing the menu to…

Friday was a glorious Spring day, made even more glorious by my early departure from work. We all finished our work fast enough to leave at 5:00, which meant I had over two and a half hours to kill before babysitting. Since my babysitting job was on the UWS, it made most sense not to…

Clinton Street Baking Company was voted Best Pancakes in 2008 by New York Magazine (not to mention Best Breakfast/Brunch by Time Out in 2007) so it promised to serve some solid pancakes, especially during pancake month. I’ve heard about pancake month since I moved to NYC but haven’t managed to make it to the LES,…

I was all ready to take this weekend by storm…until I went to my annual eye exam yesterday morning. I thought I would hear the same “Your prescription got worse; you have really bad eyesight” that I hear every other year. Unfortunate, but I’m used to my near blindness. Instead, I was told that I…

My cousin Amy was in town for the weekend and although Matt and I got to hang out with her on Saturday night for a little drunken revelry, we wanted to make sure we got in some sober time. That led us to an MLK breakfast this morning during our day off work. I rarely…
