I cannot believe I never wrote a review for Gorilla.

It is my heart and soul.

And now that I am moving and can no longer stroll over here on a weekend morning, I think I may cry.

No really.

I stick by my older review but this review is for Milk Thistle Farms:

Your chocolate milk is the purest form of heaven in a bottle.

...I'm serious.  Go get a bottle (fyi they usually sell out) then walk down the path into the park.  Sit on the grass.…More »

Wollman Rink reminded me why I love my neighborhood.  Parents with their kids, teenagers hanging out, middle aged folks and child prodigies all skated side by side.
A beautiful thing, even on uneven ice.

Also, my legs are super sore. If you are out of…More »

I really like the Brooklyn Museum.

If you haven't gone, even if you have--go again to check out the feminism wing.…More »

Sometimes you just want to pay 3.75 for a meal in return of getting ridiculously, life threateningly, full.
For 7.50 (a small) you have a choice of 4 separate Imhotep creations.
This is not small, do not be mistaken.
For the sake of your stomach, I beg…More »
