The Mermaid Parade
June 19th, 2008
The Mermaid Parade is coming to Coney Island this Saturday. Look for costumes galore from the sea, land any everywhere else in between. Lets hope the trains won’t give us too much grief this weekend so that we can enjoy some sea air.

IKEA’s the word
June 18th, 2008
Just in case you don’t by now, IKEA is opening today in New York City by way of Brooklyn. The selection promises to be just as extensive as the Elizabeth store and the delivery fee is better too.
(The store also listed the IRT 2, 3, 4, 5 from Borough Hall. We think that this is too far from the store, but since IKEA did list it and they are providing shuttle bus service, we will list it for consistency’s sake.)

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice
June 11th, 2008
by jenniferw
So sugary sweet to look at that it might actually make your teeth twinge, Vivi is the place to go for good bubble tea in Chinatown that won’t hurt your wallet. Their bubble-gum pink store front along with their princess-skull logo vividly stands out on Bayard Street; the small tea and snack shop essentially embodies quirky cuteness. Currently outside the door is a giant Homer Simpson statue, making it equally hard to miss. Once inside, you’re greeted by mannequins of Jack and Sally from Tim Burton’s film “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, who are more often than not adorned with drink specials. Although there isn’t much room for seating and the place can get rather crowded, the staff is very friendly and efficient. Besides traditional milk and flavored bubble teas, they also make slushes. Snackwise, they carry eclectic Asian fare such as puddings, cereal, (spelled serial on the menu), yogurt, jellies, popcorn chicken, fried yam, and thick toast.
More likely than not you’ll want to make a habit out of stopping by here once you discover it, so you’ll want to ask for a VIP card. With every drink you get, you receive a stamp, and after 5 drinks you receive one free drink, and then 20% off all of your drinks after that! I’ve been there several times and have nothing negative comment to say other than to stay away from the Sour Plum flavor. My friend reached the free drink on her card and offered it to me, so on a whim I tried the unfamiliar flavor. It tastes strangely like barbecue sauce. Nevertheless, I highly recommend that any trip to Chinatown include a stop here.

Sex and the City goes Underground
June 9th, 2008
For those of you who saw the movie, how kool was it when Sarah Jessica Parker, as Carrie stepped out of a subway station!
For those of you who didn’t see the movie yet, don’t despair. From the reviews, we can expect for it to be in theatres for at least a good while longer. For those who don’t feel like trekking to the movies you can still get your SATC fix either via your local TV listings or by getting the Sex and the City - The Complete Series (Collector’s Giftset)

The Little Red Lighthouse
June 7th, 2008
During the memorial Day holiday weekend, a few friends and I walked along Riverside Drive in New York City to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. Along the way, we discovered the Little Red Lighthouse besides the George Washington Bridge. Little did I know, the lighthouse is popular in its own right. Read more about the lighthouse in the book, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge: Restored Edition
Or better yet, visit it on a nice clear day by going over the foorbridge at 181st.

Gonzalez Y Gonzalez
I know that the food at Gonzalez is good as well as filling. I remember entertaining an out of town visitor several years ago when it was not “Cinco de Mayo” season. I had the pollo al frito (fried chicken) with black beans and rice and I didn’t end up eating again until the next day for late lunch.
Also, me and my gang had tried to get in for “Cinco de Mayo” and the line was like 50 people long” so if you go there today, go at your own risk, but I’m sure people have already started celebrating over the past weekend, I’m also sure that people will continue to celebrate throughout the week.
