I will start with the food though. Been a couple since I posted. And let me just start off by saying, food is fucking expensive. Even the cheap food is expensive. That being said, Mal and I went out for Valentines Day the day before actual Valentines Day. Mostly because I see V-Day as an amateur night. So I try and stay away from the people that annoy me. We also never really do anything for actual V-Day. That includes gifts. Well this year, we both decided to get each other something. Mal got me Refused tickets. Sold out Refused tickets I might add. So stoked. I got her something really thoughtful, amazing, and cute. But clearly she doesn't care about it cause she hasn't told ANYONE. Guess I will just have a good ol fashioned barrel fire.
Anyway. The night before V-Day we went to this restaurant in East Village called The Redhead. Super tasty food and drinks. I got the Hemingway which was golden rum, grapefruit, lime, and maraschino liqueur. Mal got the Tejano which was tequila, roasted pineapple, and smoked chiles. For food, we started with the soft pretzels served with Kentucky-style beer cheese. Definitely something I could eat all day, everyday. For the entrées, I got their burger. Delicious. And Mal got the buttermilk fried chicken, which was amazing. Not salty at all which is how I think a lot of fried chicken dishes get ruined. No pictures, but trust me, it was all damn good.
The next night was actual V-Day so we decided to make a dinner and a movie out of it. At home though. So I picked up a bottle of a very nice 12 dollar Prosecco, we ordered some really good Italian food from Nonna's and watched Garden State. Pretty solid V-Day.
We went to this place by our house in Lower East Side called Berkli Parc Cafe. Heard they had good sandwiches, and we all know how much I love sandwiches. I got their turkey sandwich. It has arugula, chipotle mayo, onions, gruyere cheese, and pickled mangos. Damn good.
Mal got their Thanksgiving All Year sandwich. Turkey, sweet and sour cranberry sauce, sprouts, cheese, and mayo. She didn't really enjoy it, but it sounded good.
Yesterday we decided to get lunch over in Brooklyn cause Mal needed to look for models and I was in the mood for a burger and fries. And let me tell you, DuMont is the best burger I have had in NYC. First off, it was massive. Got it medium (which is something a little new for me, as I usually go with medium well) with lettuce, bread and butter pickles, pickled onions , ketchup, dijon mustard, and mayo. So so so so good. The fries were killer as well. Wanna make a good fry? Crispy on the outside (almost crunchy) and soft on the inside. They did it well.
Got a nice Lynchburg Lemonade to wash it all down with.
Mal got the corned beef hash. Had a couple bites and it was pretty darn good.
Every plate comes with 3 little donut things. Mal ate one before I could even get my phone out.
As much as I am dreading the humidity that is gonna ravage my crotch in the summertime, I am so excited to see this view.
In all the subways trains there are these art pieces. They rotate every couple of months and this one has definitely become my favorite. It is by an artist named Sophie Black. It is basically a run down of every person that you will see on the train. I recommend looking at it for a while and you will see some pretty hilarious stuff. Mal and I have decided that she is the girl with the short black hair in the yellow jacket between the homeless guy and the fisherman. I am the guy to the left of the clown with headphones on playing his iPhone.
And now for the Dubstep portion of this post. As some of you may know, I have a job working for a company called Ledge Entertainment. I am having fun there and am learning a lot. One of the things we are starting to get into is Artist Management. One of the artists we manage is a girl from Israel named Shira. I highly recommend watching this video of her covering Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." Well she is currently playing some shows with these dubstep artists known as Masss, also from Israel. I went to one of their shows on Saturday. Let me preface this by saying, I am not a fan of Dubstep. For many reasons. But I can appreciate why people like it, especially now that I have seen it live. It is easily danceable.
That being said, UGH. First of all, I had to be there at 2 in the morning. Cause apparently all these shows don't start till 10 PM and go till like 5 AM. Aside from the raging headache the music/smoke machines/lasers raping my eyes, it was pure comedy. The people. Wow. From the girl doing the same dance moves over and over and over and and over for the ENTIRE time I was there. The 5 girls with Skrillex haircuts. The gay guys hardcore dancing/making out at the same time. How do you do that? The "professional" photographer taking pictures of the lasers on the ceiling. The random guy with a mic yelling things. The guy in the suit. The girl who looked like Jared Leto on her phone the WHOLE time. The guy who was clearly roofied. The girl who was clearly roofied. The guy standing in the corner who clearly roofied both of them. The vampire guy. The guy who clearly thinks spinning a girl around over and over is the way to get her in bed. And the super out of place grunge guy. And then there was me. The guy whose mind was being blown by all of this. This is truly a site to see. Just bring ear plugs. Like heavy duty ones.
