Thought it was going to be a chill summer with every other store being a “Zaza bodega,” but now I fear there will be people who wouldn’t dare step foot on a public beach getting lit up on top shelf versions of the recipe.

It just dawned on me that I saw The Blues Brothers when I was 3 and Belushi going "Sell me your children" in the Eastern European accent to the boring stiffs sitting at the table behind him is basically the Rosetta Stone for my entire sense of humor.

I see the potential library budget cuts in NYC and I think how important it is that we keep libraries open and invest *more* than we do in them, but I also think about how much the city keeps taking away, how little they care about the people that live here. #NoCutsToLibraries

Today is the Day of Action for Libraries to save weekend service. Libraries are just 0.4% of the city budget, but their benefits are enormous. & should not cut New Yorkers short. Our libraries are vital. #NoCutsToLibraries investinlibraries.org

“Fearless Chutzpah” could also sound like a Weird Al take on a George Michael song or how you describe your great uncle Maury eating a third helping of cholent with too many beans.

The present scene at the Midtown Potbelly I’m at is a family of confused tourists from some Scandinavian country, a man in a suit with his tie over his shoulder as he eats, and an unsupervised child who may live here.
