Big City - 12-Year-Old’s a Food Critic, and the Chef Loves It - NYTimes.com
Big City - 12-Year-Old’s a Food Critic, and the Chef Loves It - NYTimes.com: "That’s why David Fishman, an Upper West Sider who turned 12 last month, decided to take himself out for dinner one night last week. His parents had called him at home to say they were running late, suggesting that he grab some takeout at the usual hummus place."

Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies: "See?I only know how to expect the worst. I can only hope that at some point in my life, I'm legitimately surprised by an outcome. I want to experience a shock to the system that keeps a smile on my face for days. I want to tell people I'm a Philadelphia sports fan and not get a 'Sorry' as a response or, in most cases, a look of utter disgust. I don't feel like I'm owed a championship. I don't feel like this will alter the course of my life if the Phillies win the World Series. I won't contemplate hanging myself if they don't. But I do want to win. Now that I'm an adult, I want to know what that feels like. Even if it only happens once."

Coat check girl: Last night Michael came in my eye and it was all puffy and red.
Stripper: Why did he do that?
Coat check: He said he didn't mean it. Usually he goes for my nostrils or my ear. We couldn't go out for dinner for two hours until it died down.
Stripper: Wow.

The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae: Eagles Fans: Best in Congress!
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae: Eagles Fans: Best in Congress!
On Wednesday, the House passed a resolution congratulating the New York Giants on winning this year’s Super Bowl “and completing one of the most remarkable postseason runs in professional sports history.” The resolution passed by a vote of 412 to 1.
Murphy, a diehard Eagles fan who worked at Veterans Stadium as a security guard when he was 16, was the only House member to vote against it. “As a former 700-level security guard and lifelong Eagles fan, I couldn’t, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants,” Murphy said Thursday. “The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.”
Truly awesome. We solute congressman Patrick Murphy for this tremendous act of patriotism.

mmmmm food
Slashfood Bowl: New York street food puts all other street food to shame
Growing up in Portland, OR, there wasn't much in the way of street food available around the city. Sure, there were a select few carts located directly around the big downtown office buildings, but they had very limited hours and were spottily placed. One of the things I looked forward to experiencing each summer, during our annual trip to Philadelphia to visit family, was the all the food carts on the street. They scented the air, lending the aroma of hot dogs, pickle relish and frying beef to the air in their direct proximity.
I'm currently in New York right now, attending a conference and hanging out a bit with some family. When I was getting ready to leave her house this morning, my cousin Betsy asked me where I was going. When I gave her the address, she seemed to shuffle through an index file stored in the back of her brain. Then she said, "There's a terrific Halal food cart on 53rd Street, right off 6th Avenue, with great, cheap food." I was a little boggled at her ability to pinpoint a food cart in a city the size of New York, but as she's lived here for the last 30+ years, I believed that she knew of what she spoke.
