Please note: there’s a good and bad way to duct tape your kids. For everything else, there’s birth control.

Food Parc: Because Chelsea Needs Another Ginormous Freaking Food Court

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:29:00 -0400

Is it because food is the only thing former big spenders can afford? Because nobody actually wants to be in Chelsea, Flatiron or the Meatpacking District so there’s plenty of available space? Perhaps the motivation behind the recent food mega-mall explosion involves psychology more than economics: New Yorkers have recently realized that they’re skinnier by far than the vast majority of their fellow Americans. Recent visits to Connecticut, Ohio, Massachusetts, Florida and other Weird Places That Aren’t NYC have opened Big Apple residents’ eyes to the fact that the inhabitants of less boldfaced burgs have them outsized by, in some cases, several body-widths.

New Yorkers don’t like to be outdone at anything. So top McChefs like Mario Batali, Todd English, Joseph Bastianich and others have been stuffing as much of the latest and greatest in meats, cheeses, baked goods and cupcakes as they can into airplane hangar-sized halls in increasingly avoidable neighborhoods with the hope that New Yorkers and the tourists who love them will do likewise. And since most of the actual good restaurants are now located in Brooklyn, space-hungry Manhattan gastropreneurs are free to focus on sheer quantity, which means that football fields worth of pizza, acres of artisanal bacon and burpy oceans of local craft and specialty beer are coming soon to a seven-block radius near you. Get your scrawny ass in gear–never mind that the hike to the West Side will devour a ton of calories–you’ve got a ton of catching up to do.

Skybarn: Are New Yorkers suddenly starting to believe that they are angry even...:

Are New Yorkers suddenly starting to believe that they are angry even though they are not, in fact, angry. It reminds me of my twins when they were infants. One would cry and then the other would cry because they thought they were the one that was upset. It’s no fault of New Yorkers who have never…

All My Friends Are Dead:

A kids’ book for budding curmudgeons.

(via Laughing Squid)

If you’re a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you’re a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you’re a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children’s book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character’s unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.
