I dunno, I like that one? It's pretty archly self-aware.
I don’t normally believe in love at first sight, but at the end of that first lunch, I wanted to offer Victoria my sperm.
And I like the little details.
On the outside Victoria was poised, like the banker she is. But the cuticles on her elegant fingers were cracked and scabby, so I knew she had been nervous. I held her hand. She let me.

new one in chelsea!
I swear by Doughnut Plant's tres leches doughnuts. Or was that dulce de leche? Whatever. It was awesome.
Haven't been to Peter Pan in ages. When I moved to Queens there was a place called Alpha Donuts that was just like Peter Pan, but then the donut guy moved back to Greece and they started buying them wholesale, leaving just an archaic charming shitty diner.

I recently ordered from then went to "Real Sante Fe Steakhouse". Weird place. Going for the gringo chips and margarita crowd but still authentic at the same time. They have tacos al pastor, on a spit with pineapple on top, and in the window they had this weird big pan in which they were cooking pig's ear for tacos. I had a good burrito and an ok steak. Decent delivery alternative to De Mole.
We should probably start a Queens thread.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
we always walk by there on the way to de mole, it looks nice but maybe a little pricey?
def need a queens thread, what should it be called?

that would tell you that 54th Street is your cross street. See, easy? Or 54th Road. Or 54th Place. It's hard to tell sometimes.

Larry Garfield, 95, of Key Biscayne, Fla., worked in the carpet industry until he was 83. Asked why he recently ate a rare calf’s liver with mashed potatoes at Joe Allen’s restaurant in Miami Beach (even though he shouldn’t have, given his diabetes), Mr. Garfield said: “You ever walked down the street and seen a pretty girl and thought, ‘Mm! That’s for me!’? Well, I looked at the menu and thought, ‘Mm! That’s for me!’ ” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/dining/02Elder.html?hp

The potato, because the starch raises blood sugar levels.

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/can-exercise-keep-you-young/The potential benefits have attractions even for the young. While Dr. Tarnopolsky, a lifelong athlete, noted with satisfaction that active, aged mice kept their hair, his younger graduate students were far more interested in the animals’ robust gonads. Their testicles and ovaries hadn’t shrunk, unlike those of sedentary elderly mice.Dr. Tarnopolsky’s students were impressed. “I think they all exercise now,” he said.

Foppish scions in their 20s ascended the grand marble staircase, and sipped champagne in couture gowns, velvet dinner jackets and tuxedo slippers rakishly embroidered with Chinese characters. Those disinclined to formal wear still looked clubbable in Burberry check jackets, bow-ties and Hermès scarves.Set against the intricately patterned oak parquet floors and the robber baron-luxe red velvet sofas of the Rose Club, the affair took on the air of Mrs. Astor’s Four Hundred — if Mrs. Astor had been conducting a casting call for “Gossip Girl.”But this was no ordinary cotillion. The black-tie party was for the Native Society, a new club that is limited to native New Yorkers, many of them city dwellers who might reside in 10021 — the ZIP code of upper Park and Fifth Avenues — or be graduates of certain prep schools.“You can’t apply,” explained its founder, Oliver Estreich, 24, the son of an architect and interior designer who grew up on East 85th and Park Avenue. He formed the society in October with a few friends from prep school whom he refers to as his “administrators.” It quickly grew to several dozen, mostly by word of mouth, and now claims nearly 400 members.“It’s the second-degree-of-association,” Mr. Estreich said. “If one of my administrators knows you, likes you, thinks you have the native sensibility, we’ll reach out.”

To Anne de la Mothe Karoubi, 24, who went to the Marymount School, it’s an intellectual precociousness. “When you grow up in New York City, our minds develop faster,” she said. “You’re not from Wisconsin, you’re not from the middle of America. We’re international, we’re focused, we’re driven.”
