Joey Ramone - New York City [iTunes link]
From his just-released posthumous album ‘…ya know?’
An instant NYC anthem.
This one has Nick-Swisher-stepping-into-the-batter’s-box-in-October written all over it.
The album is really good.
I love the crescendo at the end of ‘Rock ‘n Roll Is The Answer.’
‘I Couldn’t Sleep’ is classic Ramones.
And ‘Life’s A Gas’ will make you cry.
Enjoy.
From the inbox:
A few days ago we received a heart-wrenching email that we feel is important to share with you:
“I am a soldier who is currently deployed. Recently I have been pretty depressed. I see just about everyone here getting care packages from loved ones.
But I don’t have any loved ones back home.
Well, except my dog…But someone poisoned her on Thanksgiving when I showed up here.
Every day I would go to sleep and wish I didn’t wake up. On my way back to work I would hope to catch a mortar round in my chest. I spoke with the Chaplain about some of these issues but nothing seemed to help. Every day I would go through the same steps: work, lunch, work, bed.
Same thing, every day.
Then a soldier came to tell me I had a package to pick up. They told me it had been sitting in the mail office for some time now. For the whole walk over there I wondered, ‘Who could it be from?’ I heard talk about care packages being sent from private organizations back home, but those were from a list you had to put your name on. I never did that because with my job I was always too busy and time was never permitting.
When I saw the box, I saw ‘Operation Gratitude’ on the side. When I opened the package and started looking through the contents a lump grew in my throat, my lip started to quiver and the tears started to flow.
I had an overwhelming feeling that someone really does care.
I am feeling much better about myself now. I don’t know how I can ever thank you for what you have made me feel. Thank you so very much for what you and your team have done!
Sincerely, J.C.”
There is no way to quantify the invaluable morale-boosting impact our care packages have on the men and women who receive them. But letters and emails like this one from J.C. confirm that what we are doing is important. With your help we will continue this work, positively affecting Military letter-writers like J.C. and the tens of thousands more whom he represents.
Go.
Now.
Your donation pays for the assembly and shipping expenses of $15 per care package. Tax deductible.
Do it.
The Story Behind the Series:
I was having lunch one day at The Napoleon House, as I often do, when Joe came in and sat at my table, as he often did.
Uncle Joe was 98 then and had been proprietor of The Napoleon House for most of the 1900’s.
Suddenly he popped up from the table like a piece of toast and went to greet a lady who had just entered the café.
And he seated her at the table in a way I’ve never seen a man tend a lady.
Her name, I later learned, was Marjorie.
They had known each other since the 1930’s but this unexpected rendez-vous was the first in a long time.
“Louis,” I said, “put down the muffaletta and go get your camera.”
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. THIS.

The most provocative part of this piece: the amount of Holocaust deniers among the commenters.
The Nazis kept records, gang.
And then there’s the token “But, ‘Night’ was a great book…” from the character whose extent of knowledge and learnings on foreign policy likely ended when he/she graduated high school.
Ugly, ugly stuff, FP.

And, for reference, I mean that in the most denigrating way possible,
If Plan A in your retirement scheme is Social Security, it’s time to start working on Plan B.
Based on reports last week from the folks responsible for the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds, Americans—especially those under age 40—need to reconsider their retirement plans.
Absent major action by lawmakers, the annual reports say the combined assets of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and the Disability Insurance trust funds will be exhausted in 2033—three years sooner than was projected last year. The Disability Insurance fund will be exhausted in 2016, two years earlier than last year’s estimate.
Come 2033, just 21 short years from now, Social Security will pay just 75% of scheduled benefits, just 75 cents on the dollar. So, instead of getting, say, $1,000 per month from Social Security, you’ll get $750 per month come 2033.
The trustees forecast that Medicare’s hospital insurance fund would begin to run out of money beginning in 2024.
In the 1999 NBA Playoffs, after splitting the first four games to set up a decisive Game 5, Miami was seconds away from eliminating the eighth-seeded Knicks. Knick shooting guard Allan Houston proved to be the hero of the deciding game, as he hit a running one-hander with 0.8 seconds left to play to give New York a 78-77 victory. The win propelled the Knicks to their second Eastern Conference Championship of the decade, and to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs.
We’ll always have this.

“Intersection: Babel” is a documentary short looking at a place that’s all about leaving it.
The busy intersection of 14th Street and First Avenue in New York City may seem unremarkable. But people have a lot to say about it. And the crossroads create an inspiring place for dance.
“Intersection: Babel” hearkens to Genesis 11, which documents Babel as the birthplace of alienation.
It premiered at the LABA Festival at the 14th Street Y on May 17, 2012.
Directed and produced by Karen Loew, videography and editing by Cory Antiel, dance by Julie Gayer Kris.

Smithfield*, NYC’s newest sports bar in a class of its own, celebrates its Grand Opening this Tuesday, May 22, 6-8pm.
Built by veterans of the New York bar biz (Lunasa, Nevada Smiths), Smithfield emerges as a premier destination in the heart of Manhattan, just a few blocks from Madison Square Garden (Go Rangers!).
Smithfield is located at:
215 West 28th St. (btwn 7th & 8th Ave)
The product of nearly two years of hard work, the three floor tavern greets you with beautiful reclaimed wood, exposed brick, and warm lighting. State of the art LED HDTV’s are strategically placed throughout the ground floor bar for an unfettered view of your favorite sports event no matter where you sit. The Market Bar on the second floor, with windows opening on to 28th Street, has a more intimate atmosphere whilst retaining the vintage theme and is perfect for private parties and events. Finally, on our mezzanine, we have The Wallace Room, named after the famous Scottish rebel, Sir William Wallace better known to most as Braveheart. Rich mahogany and leather couches with a private bathroom and service bar are features of the room.
In addition to all local sports teams, Smithfield will show all live soccer games from around the world and will offer locally produced food at reasonable prices. The classic American menu — read: seriously, not your average bar fare — will feature locally sourced products wherever possible and the draught will focus on local craft beers. Check out the extraordinary menu here. Teaser: The Smithfield Burger — Angus beef, candied foie gras, shaved truffles, 100 year aged balsamic reduction.
And, read this glowing review for more.
Smithfield…combines classic elements of the football bar, traditional Irish pub and lounge, and fine restaurant into a beautifully designed and thought out package that is unique, friendly, and affordable.
Please join us on Tuesday! Bring your friends!

I once got chased by a homeless man carrying a jumbo jar of mayonnaise in Tompkins Square Park.
Overheard.The city’s first million-dollar parking space is on the market.
The private garage at 66 E. 11th St. costs six times more than the national-average price of a single-family home.
“It’s for someone who wants complete privacy,” said Prudential Douglas Elliman Vice Chairman Dolly Lenz. “You can drive in and not be seen again. It’s for the type of person who finds that attractive. It could be a celebrity or a business person who is camera shy.”
The hot space is about 12 feet wide, 23 feet long and more than 15 feet high.
The spot could be “duplexed” if the buyer decides to install an elevator lift so he or she can slide both the Maserati and the Lamborghini in at the same time.
The parking space isn’t the only amenity: the shower water will be pumped full of vitamin C and aloe, and the apartments will have heat reflexology flooring.
It’s gorgeous out today. Why not take a stroll through some of the neighborhood’s many wonderful Community Gardens?

Fried chicken is my greatest food weakness. If someone told me I would die in the next half-hour and I had to have a last meal, it would be fried chicken, no question. When I randomly checked the fried chicken reservations on Momofuku Noodle Bar’s website and saw the open 6 pm reservation for a Saturday night, it was like discovering the Holy Grail. Naturally, I grabbed my credit card, filled the reservation form, and invited three of my friends to come.
The day of, I was so incredibly excited and freaked out about coming late and losing the reservation that I came an hour ahead of time. I got my nails done at a place two blocks down to kill some time (ask for Kelly at Galleria!) - which I subsequently ruined digging into the massive pile of fried chicken (sorry Kelly).
Before the fried chicken even came, we had the famous Momofuku pork buns, which totally live up to their hype and fame. The pork belly melts in your mouth like butter. I would have been just as happy eating a meal out of the pork buns alone. But we came for chicken, and the chicken did not disappoint.
The fried chicken is cooked two ways, Korean style and old-fashioned Southern style with a buttermilk batter. In addition to the chicken, you get a bowl full of lettuces, fresh herbs, carrots and radishes, four dipping sauces (hoisin, garlic and scallion, chili paste, and jalapeno olive oil), and mushu pancakes. You can eat the chicken as it is, or you can use the sauces, veggies, and pancakes to make a ssam-style wrap. Overall, thanks to David Chang’s special cooking method of steaming the chicken first before frying it, the chicken meat was juicy and tender. The Korean-style fried chicken was a hit by a long run: sweet and spicy at the same time, with toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on the sticky coating at gave it a nice nutty flavor to round out the seasoning. This tasted amazing wrapped in a pancake with Bibb lettuce, basil, and a smear of scallion-ginger sauce.
The southern-style fried chicken wasn’t as successful in my opinion: I found the heavy use of Old Bay seasoning in the batter unpleasant and flat. I’ll stick to my guilty-pleasure Popeye’s for regular fried chicken. Personally, I think David Chang should just make the Korean-style fried chicken as the meal - but then why not just go to Bonchon for a meal? Having the fried chicken two ways, I guess, is part of what makes this an eating experience.
I loved the idea of eating fried chicken in a different way and sharing the experience with friends; I think the very familial-style of serving this dinner was the most unique aspect of this dinner. My friends and I were quite full by a little more than halfway through the plate of chicken. I could have easily invited four more people for the maximum reservation size and we all would have left sated. That huge plate of chicken and all the sides cost $100 before tax and tip. It seems like a wild splurge to spend $100 on chicken, but if you’re inviting 8 people, it comes to $12.50 a head which is quite reasonable in comparison to other places. And, there aren’t that many other restaurants in New York City that will offer this kind of dining experience for $12.50 a head. It’s well-worth at least trying it once.
