Oh, the things you find in Hot Topic…

I stumbled across these critters on a recent trip to Hot Topic and, being the foodie I am, they were just too bizarre to pass up! The verdict? Not nearly as strange as you might think, and actually pretty darn tasty. The mealworms tasted a bit like spicy porkrinds, and the crickets had the texture [...]

The Prep/The Performance/The Party

Unfortunately, we were not permitted to take pictures inside Carnegie Hall… legal stuff… blah, blah, blah. Anywho, I will offer you a glimpse into the evening as best as I am able.

I think there were as many people walking around Time Square as there were people sleeping in Ashland. To celebrate being in the neighborhood, we decided to [...]

After finding out that their hotel was a brothel (yes, there were ladies hangin’ out), they came and left their suitcases in our room while they booked another hotel. After that was taken care of, we went to Central Park, and Kelly [...]

Dave Brubeck at Blue Note

After an incredible dinner at Morimoto, we hopped a train to Greenwich Village, and arrived at the Blue Note Jazz Club.

Dinner at Morimoto

To be honest, I don’t even know where to begin this post. I suppose that I could just cut to the chase and tell you that I have just eaten what could easily be the best meal of my life. Morimoto is the namesake restaurant owned by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, and is located in [...]
