President and the card
Does the US President carry a business card? He sneaks into Friday's and puts it into the "free lunch for your office" jar. Goes home and crosses his fingers for free lunch! I bet he does.
FoodDotOut doesn't stop! Awesome dinner again
Last night fooddotout made dinner for a few of his friends and it was good. So good I'm writing a post about it. We were blessed with the presence of eatmeouttahere who brought a Japanese spongecake of sorts. 4 words - figs, pancetta, goat cheese and salad = Crazy delicious!
Unfortunately there weren't any pictures taken. We'll just have to do it again.

Veaux - Fresh Talent Market
I had the pleasure to meet with Savannah and Kayla of Veaux.org last night. Veaux "is an online talent market that helps fresh creatives sell themselves, and picky buyers find the choicest cut of artistic goodness around." I started scrolling through the site and they have some nice stuff up. Here's a sample. Check it out!
LVHRD - BR CRWL-69
Last night = fun. Met a lot of cool people. We had a solid crew with us and started at the Brooklyn Brewery, hit up Royal Oak, Larry Lawrence and ended at Bushwick. Petron shots with the LVHRD crew never hurt. I only have one picture from the evening. My friends and I ended up at 69 and I had their famous oxtail stew over rice.

summer of debauchery
I repeatedly tell people about SOS. It's a phrase coined by TunnelAngel and I when we use to go out and party a lot. Summer of Sin. There are seasonal variations. Spring of Sin, Winter of Sin, and of course Fall of Sin.
I think we should celebrate hardcore days such as Spring Equinox. Hmm... We'll play with that idea later on.
As I'm winding down the the summer I have to say it was eventful. It always kicks off with my cousin and I having a big party and ends with Labor Day. I haven't done this much in a summer for quite some time.

First dibs - Red Mango
Guess who was first in line today at the grand opening of Red Mango on 32nd street. President Bush? Ghandi's cousin? Michael Phelps??? No way! It was ShittyChef and CakeWardrobe Suckersss!
We arrived at 12:45 thinking it was opened. There was no line and the door was locked. A sign on the door said free froYo! We hung out for about 20 minutes. Looked like they were having trouble with the registers. I wanted a medium but had to settle for a small with one topping. So rich and creamy. Thumbs up!

ShittyChef needs to work out!
I just jogged from 24th street to St. Marks. and back. I'm completely out of shape. According to Yahoo Answers I burned something close to 300 calories. How did I let myself go like this?
"Fuck you Jobu. I do it myself" - Cerrano
What a weekend! Friday - Korean food with Cakewardrobe and her buddy Tina. It was oober good. Cakewardrobe was kind enough to hook it up. We actually walked out of the Shilla first before we went into a cafeteria style Korean joint. At Shilla I asked for a seat upstairs which they ignored. Then the host stuck us in the way back of the restaurant. There was no service attention at all. NONE even after all three of us tried to wave down a server. We decided to leave and head to the other spot. We had fun and chatted politics.
I broke my chopsticks.
Lets go JETS!
Friday evening was fun. Things were looking bleak at first and it looked like a night that no one was going out. Then things came together and a bunch of us headed out to Amber, Azza and then to Cafeteria. Amber always seems to be a nice place to start the evening off. The vibe is nice and there were nice big screens for me to watch Michael Phelps win another gold medal. My friends finally came. They were all running on CP time. When you say 10pm. It usually means something closer to 11-11:30.
Lets go JETS!
Saturday night was fun. We were suppose to go to a bday party at HOME but ended up at TOUCH. A bunch of my old friends were there and it was fun. Met new people including an Israeli that was leaving the next day at 2:30. She was adorable. We ended up in the DJ booth and the lovely DJ asked for a request. I asked her to play Bon Jovi and we totally rocked out. Afterwards we headed to WoHop where a quote from Major League came out from left field. We were in the cab when Frank and Gaurav started yelling "Fuck you Jobu. I'll do it myself."
Sunday I made my way down to Chinatown with fooddotout. We had some Vietnamese food. Beef cubes on rice is oh so good. On my way down I snapped this shot on the 6 train. Reebok pumps rule.

New Poll Suggests New Yorkers Love "Sex Messaging" - Straight from Gothamist
I'm guilty of sex messaging. I think we all are at one point or another. Enjoy the read. I'm thankfully not alone.
The NY Post has released the results of its latest sex survey where 79% of those polled admitted to sending flirty and dirty text messages. Other amusing finds: Staten Island comes in as the borough with by far the largest amount of confessed cheaters (67%), Central Park was voted most desirable landmark to make whoopie in, and an overwhelming 84% of those asked said that implants were not sexy. The saddest dose of reality for some will come from learning that over half of those who took the online poll "would not date somebody who lived with their parents."

Noodles - Ippusode one (get it! get it!!!)
Ippudo! Salty but good. I'm a fan and plan on going back. The service was great and the chefs were fun. I've heard a lot of hype about this place. I've definitely had better but it was all round goodness.

Declaring my Love for Noodles
According to Wikipedia a noodle is food made from unleavened dough that is cooked in a boiling liquid. I've always been a big fan of noodles of all types. Varieties in culture such Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Italian so on and so forth extend far and beyond from what I've tried. This particular post is just a declaration of my love for noodles.

Fun weekend! Happy BDay Albert & Samantha - Sunday with the Sis
Did you catch the Olympic opening ceremony?!!? Whoaaa that was awesome. Catch some of the pictures here and here.
The great part of the dinner was Cakewardrobe, fooddotout, Wongster, JDub and myself helping out with the cookies and cupcakes. A LOT of prep work was involved in making Albert's cupcake baseball field cake. Cakewardrobe did a great job with setting up the numbers, organizing and getting people together to put the cookies together. You can see the process here and the results here.
After dinner I had another party at Providence. Samantha had a huge party for her birthday the same evening. I was glad to invite a few friends out for that one and we all had a blast. Nina Sky was Dj'ing that evening. It was a fun positive vibe.
My weekend started off with a lot of Chinese pride. We had a great birthday dinner party for Albert at Amber. Jenny took care of setting it all up and Henry, the manager, made sure everything in the back took off smoothly. We were all very happy with the results and everyone ate well.
Happy Birthday Albert!

Rollin in the Kia, JJ, Pink's and Sharkeez in Hermosa - LA Day 2
I woke up at 7am Pacific time. Couldn't adjust to west coast time yet. It was a little hazy out. Smog? Sea mist of some sort? I wasn't so sure. The plan was to drive Alex to work and roam around LA. My trusty iPhone guided me through town. LA is a very easy town to stroll around in. You MUST have a car though. It's nothing like Manhattan. I didn't try out their mass transit system there. There were plenty of buses but I never caught sight of a subway system.
After dropping Alex off I was craving for some Jamba Juice. Acai with an energy boost was what I needed to start the day. I plugged it into my phone and off we went. I parked the Kia and noticed something I've never seen before. Meters that accepted all change! Not just quarters. I happily plugged in some change and picked up an original Acai. It's almost $2 cheaper in LA vs the one I regularly go to on 5th ave between 33rd and 32nd.
So the night before I noticed a Supreme store in LA. I'm not a sneaker head or anything but I do like my nike SB's. I recently purchased a pair of Nike New Castles. Like the beer! Anyways I get there at 10:45 and they're not opened until 11. Boo, I waited for 5 minutes and decided to go to PINK's down the road. You know when something isn't all that but you still want to go just to say you experienced it. That's what Pink's is all about. I'm going to make a list of places that equivalent to that experience. I got, I wait 20 minutes, I order, I pay, I take pictures and admire the cuties on the line. It wasn't all that. The chili dog was awesome but nothing special.
I drive around, check out the touristy scene equivalent to Time Square and meet up with Alex for Lunch at Le Petit Four. Had an excellent niçoise salad. What made it even better was the nice cool breeze, sitting out doors and a chill atmosphere. All was well in the world.
I drop Alex back at work, I hit the pool at the Shapiro residence and off to Hermosa Beach to meet up with some old Vegas buddies of mine. I meet my friends at the beach and we headed to Sharkeez. Aparently Sharkeez had a fire earlier in the year but they reopened a couple weeks before I arrived. My friends were telling me how it use to smell like a mix of piss and stanky beer. Now the place smells like new paint! Thank goodness.
We caught up, drank, caught up some more, drank and rocked out to some music. It was a good time. All pics below! Enjoy.

Rollin in the Kia. Don't mess around. Alex's summer rental. Thing actually had a rockin sound system.
I wanted this hot dog but thought it was too cheezy to get.
Peak inside Pink's. you can see all the hype on the walls. It's like a Wo Hop for LA.
