This story is crazy, Taken from the "NY Post"  I do have to say that I'm going to try his little trick for the crispy sandwich. 

This was a shocker when I saw it in the "Post", Cono's is a restaurant that's very popular in our old neighborhood.  Anyone with a half of a brain should know not to try and steal from ANY Italian place in that 'hood.  Recently I've been watching a lot of the TV show Mobsters on the Bio channel and let me tell ya it all takes place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

"This" makes me so sad.  The famed Tavern on the Green has been turned into a snack bar.  After the restaurant filed for Chapter 11 in September 2009 the new owners and the union haven't been able to negotiate a contract that will get it up and running again.  It seems in desperation Michael Bloomberg, mayor of NYC, is trying to make the best of a bad situation and decided it should be made a tourist center and snack bar.  On Regis & Kelly last week Regis said Donald Trump should take it over, and I have to agree that it's the best idea.  The Donald was quoted as saying “If I could help the city and the city wanted me to get involved, I could be open”. “It really is a special place. Only a person with a lot of money can rebuild and resurrect Tavern. And I have a lot of money.”

As you all know I love Jackie O!  She is one of my favorite style icons.  She made looking chic so easy because all you needed were simple lines and a pair of huge sunglasses.  That's totally the way I dress.  Anyway, The Post had an article titled "Jackie 2.0" so I decided to check it out figuring they were talking about some new socialite on the NY scene.  I was right, in a way.

The article is about Rose Kennedy Schlossberg the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Granddaughter of Jackie Kennedy-Onasis.  She graduated from Harvard this month and they are saying that she will be impossible to ignore since they look and act alike.  From what the article said Jackie made it a mission to see Rose every day to instill lessons she thought were essential to life until she died in 1994 when Rose was 5.  It also said that she's a leader in the Kennedy clan and has a bit of an independent streak, just like Jackie.  It'll be fun to see what she takes on.  Talk about big (and fashionable) shoes to fill.

I read this "article" in the post and almost fell over laughing.  If only this had been in place when we lived there.  Lanes have been painted in NYC so there is a 'fast' lane for people who live there and a 'slow' tourist lane. 

So did you ever think to yourself while you were watching Lost 'I wish I could have one of those Dharma beers they are always drinking', well now you can! 

The website Profiles in History is hosting an "auction" for items from the TV show.  So far only 100 items are listed but I've read that people are expecting up to 1000 show items to be listed after the finale on Sunday night.

This driver is on the road to hell.

A 20-year-old woman has been cited for running down Lord Jesus Christ -- in a crosswalk, no less.

Officers responding to the accident in Northampton, Mass., checked the 50-year-old victim's ID and found that that's his name. He suffered only minor injuries.

So I used to love Jill Zarin from the Real Housewives.  I even considered switching fabric stores and going from Mood to Zarin Fabrics, and Mood is one of my favorites stores in Manhattan.  
In season 3 of RHNY since her and Bethenny have become distanced she's become a demanding bitch.  It's pretty cold when you hear a person you were friends with had a family member die and you were worried cause you weren't the first person who knew.  I even read that she announced Bethenny's babies birth before she did.  That's just rude.

According to "Page Six" she showed up at an event in NY going from booth to booth trying to pick up all the freebies she could.  Don't you love rich people who take as much for free as they can.  Makes so much sense. A source at the event is quoted as saying 'She had such a sense of entitlement, as if to say, 'You need to give me things for free because I'm Jill Zarin'.

I wasn't planning on writing about this because I could care less.  I watch her reality show on E! with her sisters, Pretty Wild, because it's on a lot.  She seems pretty sincere about not being involved with the "Bling Ring" but if anything this whole ordeal should be a lesson learned for her.

Anyway, the article in the "NY Post" has a picture shown of her sister, Tess, while they are discussing the six month sentence given to Alexis. 
I've just come across so many mistakes lately in articles and finding one like that in the Post is unbelievable.  Tess is a model and this probably won't help her career.

Officially sanctioned bunny outfits are for sale from Playboy for only $68.  For any of you who watch the show 'The Girls Next Door' might remember an episode around Halloween where it was specifically mentioned that these do not get handed out because Hef doesn't like the idea of them being used for anything other than their original purpose, being the Playboy clubs and Playboy functions.  I wonder if the rumblings about Playboy bring in financial trouble are really true?

“It’s  my biggest expense,” says Brandi Irwin, a former-model-turned-foot-model and  photographer from Park Slope. “But it makes me feel beautiful.”

Welcome to Gemini 14 on 14th Street near the West Village, home to  the city’s most expensive hair extensions — which cost $10,000 a pop.

According to the "NY Post", Irwin has hers put in three times a year. Add to that her color sessions  every six weeks at about $300 per appointment and $65 blowouts twice a  week and she’s forking out roughly $47,000 a year to achieve her  Rapunzel-like mane (including tips). In short, what most of us would pay  for a car, Irwin blows on her crowning glory — every year.

The Mets have won their season opener with help from my David who hit a 2 run homer beating the Marlins 7-1 on Monday for their fifth consecutive win.  Hopefully they can keep it up and have a season that takes them to the World Series.  

The Rockies, won their game 5-3.  I really can't wait to get to a game here, I've missed it so much.  I would guess it's been over 2 years since we've gone to one.

is suffering from thyroid problems and it will be affecting his playing time this season.  Since he's been hurt on and off since he started playing in the big-leauges with the Mets in the spring of 2002 I'm really not surprised that he'll be on the DL.  He is one of our best players when he isn't hurt so hopefully things will turn out OK and maybe we can make it to the post season this year.

I'm glad that the games aren't in Shea anymore, then I would really want to go when we head back east.  I found this old pic of Shea on a sports blog.
That huge empty parking lot is now where the subway station is.  I can't believe how underdeveloped NYC was back in the day.

Citi Field, where the Mets now play, is crazy expensive for tickets.  We usually go about $50 for seats if we didn't get them for free from someone.  In the new stadium that will get you nosebleed seats.

Now, if we go to a Rockies game here, and the Mets do come and play here, we can spend the same amount of money and get seats right behind the plate.  And I don't care about all the amazing cuisine that is being served throughout Citi Field cause the only things that I eat at a baseball game are Hot Dogs and Beer.  Why would you need anything else?

Tina Fey is one of my favorite comediennes. This clip is her on Letterman talking about 30 Rock, her daughter, being on the cover of Vogue and her new movie with Steve Carell, Date Night, which I can't wait to see. 



Since they cut the movie footage from the YouTube video I've added the trailer.



And it cracks me up when she does Sarah Palin

A photographer takes a picture of a wooden house built upside-down in Gettorf, Germany. The fully furnished so-called "crazy house" has a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a sleeping room. Visitors have to pay a fee to enter this tourist attraction, which is set up at the local zoo.

I guess the 80's are really back. I thought that we had learned how to tint our eyebrows by now? Guess I'm wrong, according to an article in the "NY Post"
