Wow! No wonder McCain has so many houses: his wife has the price of a Scottsdale split-level hanging from her ears.

Because Everyone Loves New York in His Own Particular Way May 31, 2008

“I love New York because we order pizza from the Italian place across the street and have our laundry delivered. We take a taxi to the gym. We know exactly what we want out of life and careers, but can’t decide where to eat brunch. We make plans and don’t keep any of them. We think a studio for $1,500 a month is a steal, but get pissed when the coffee guy raises his prices 25 cents. We fight with cabbies about their driving skills, but we are 35 and have never had a driver’s license.”

Starbucks may have “put an entire adult population through Coffee University,” as the restaurateur Danny Meyer recently said. But third-wave coffee shops — and their cuppings — are the graduate schools.

i think the personality map is really interesting, especially that the most neurotic people are centered around NYC and the northeast, haha.

very, very well said. it’s stupid to push these girls to act all “parent-approved” when they’re at an age where it’s natural for them to be exploring their sexuality and the like. unfortunately for them, it must play out in public.

i don’t know classical music very well, but from the video i could tell that he was GOOD. still, when i’m in the metro i usually just like to get where i’m going, so i don’t think i would have stopped.

most of these are in NYC, which is completely unsurprising to me.  i mean, i know that the mcdonalds across from the nederlander is insane, and the whole foods in columbus circle, and the barnes and noble in union square is enormous.
