Ad Rock!

I met my niece on Tues night and she is an instant classic... She has perfect fingernails and the cutest tummy ever.
SO... I tend to gauge the beginning of summer, not by summer solstice, but by the opening of the kiddie pool on Thompson... And thinking of Ad Rock, I can't wait to take her for a splash!

DOC/ CELEB CRUSH

I watched a doc on PBS last night called DISHING DEMOCRACY about the affects of Satellite TV in the Arab world... The film was really informative, and I was surprised of how repressed the culture is... Almost every home has a dish and, according to the film, the majority of info from outside the household comes from the 250 channels offered... One of the most popular shows is KALAM NAWAEM , a show based on The View... They explore taboo subjects (especially in their religious culture) from masterbation to 9/11 to divorce... very controversial...

Anyway, watching this show on these amazing women I kinda slipped and fell hard for Ms. Muna Abu-Sulayman ... Besides her physical beauty she is a PHD educated, divorced mother of 2, extremely successful TV personality and devout, forward thinking Muslim... Ok, I'm officially a STAN ... need to snap out of this...
Chk the doc out on PBS when u can...

3CHAIRSonAstoop

NYC is made of many visuals, some BOLD, and some lost in the details... I'd say after 12 yrs, I'm more of a detail person (Although, 1 glimpse of THIS would shatter this theory!)...
Anyway, peep these 3 chairs. Someone cut the legs off and set them on a stoop... My dad says ' You gotta love people who keep thinking...' and he's right!

Yesterday was a beautiful day in NYC, so I fixed the tube in my back tire and hit 'dem streets! The mission was simple - clean up my route to the Owls Head Greenway in BK, which ushers you into beautifully under the Verrazano Bridge and into the one and only Coney Island... The project was a success and 4th Ave was to thank... Below is the route and a cpl phone cam flicks...
ENJOY!

OWLS HEAD PROMENADE - There were a GANG of really young skaters RIPPING a picnic table. The locals, not only left them alone, but enjoyed their talent - RARE!!!

ILLY, MASSIVE FREIGHTER FLOATING UNDER THE VERRAZANO BRIDGE - I love that these huge ships float in and out of our ports everyday and the average NY'er never get's a glimpse...

HEADED HOME VIA OWLS HEAD GREENWAY - Damn the City looks far away! Guess what buddy, IT IS!

Babbo

Let me begin by thanking Tra for the treat, thanking the recession for hooking the rese and PRE-PAUSING the following!
DISCLAIMER: I do not judge spots by the price of their dishes, the effort of the rese or the star power involved. If Lugers', steak for 2, was 15 dollars, it would still BODY every spot in NYC in the dark with its chubby arms tied behind it's back. We ALL know a lot of the best Vietnamese spots are VERY inexpensive... WORD.
So, 11 years after opening, Babbo is still THAT SPOT that helped to make Batali a singular name chef... Upon sitting down, a Chic Pea Bruschetta was served - imagine Red Pepper flakes, INSANE Olive Oil and some ?tangy something a top a Baguette slice, simple, solid & to the point - VINO PLEASE! Grabbed a clean crisp white, sommelier suggested, from some ill region I didn't have time to write down... BACK TO THE VITTLES! The 2 antipasti dishes we ordered was not as simple as the chic peas - the 1st was 2 Large, grilled, Soft-Shell Crabs on a bed of Scarlet Runner Beans & the 2nd was Octopus that was outrageous! Cooked to a perfectly firm texture w creamy Borlotti beans and a Spicy Limoncello Vinaigrette, the oct blew my mind... For the main course Tra chose the 'Spaghettini' in a Tomato sauce w/ Chives and a ONE POUND LOBSTER for good measure (OH, AND 'NUFF BUTTER)! I chose the whole Branzino, filleted and served w a side of grilled Radicchio wrapped in Pancetta (WOWSERS)... The fish was accompanied by a sweet, tangy jam made from oregano and lemon... The Branzino was PERFECTLY cooked, lightly firm, moist w/ a earthy, grilled skin... And the Radicchio must have been grilled on the same grill as it was smokey and solid... We finished the bottle and decided to skip desert only to receive a final treat with the check: almond biscotti, chocolate baci cookies, and almond meringue cookies...


DAMN.
JOB WELL DONE. PRETTY IMPRESSED THAT THIS MANY YEARS LATER A RESTAURANT STILL CARES AND HOLDS ITSELF TO SUCH A HIGH STANDARD - THANK YOU.

"'Dude, this band is awesome,' said a bandanna-sporting guy next to me. 'Who are they?' asked his buddy. 'The Knux!' said the first. I glanced around for hidden cameras, but no, it appears that sort of exchange really does happen in real life. Nice."
