Just heard the news from SeriousEats.com that Midtownlunch.com blogger Zach Brooks is moving to LA :( sad now what are we NewYorkers going to do without our beloved foodie?
We've known for awhile that we'd be losing friend, former Serious Eater, and Midtown Lunch mastermind Zach Brooks to Los Angeles, but it looks like the word is officially out: he'll be leaving New York City by the end of January. Expect Midtown Lunch to go on without him, covering street carts and steam tables in NYC's Midtown and Downtown, and, soon, Philadelphia—plus Los Angeles, of course, as soon as he's settled. Best of luck, Zach. We'll be reading!

Use any cheap plastic to build your designer lampshade!
One simple cut-out shape lets you build all sorts of different designer-looking lampshades! You can make dozens different geometric forms using various numbers of the cut-out shape made from paper or plastic. All the standard mathematical polyhedrons and such are possible.
The pieces just fold together by hand into rigid forms, and you can take them apart and build into new shapes any time!
this is fun and educational for kids and adults alike, and you get a really nice lampshade when you are done.
The Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden located on 29-19 24th Avenue, Astoria is by far the best bar in New York. I don’t care what anybody says about Queens, and what a bitch it is to get there, - just get there. The season is just right for that extra large pint glass filled with Staropramen, Czechvar, Brouczech, Erdinger, Hoegaarden, Krusovice, Stella or Spaten, side of Klobasa grilled on a bar-b-q grill.

What Pays the Rent: working for the government ...
Favorite Kind of Food: how much time do you have to talk about food?
come on now, i have a food blog. i love love love food ... all kinds.
Favorite CheapAssEats: pizza by the slice, hot dogs, happy hour
specials ... if and when you look for CheapAssEats, there are some
great options! the longer i live here, the more i realize that DC is a
"happy hour" town and you can get some CheapAssEats at all sorts of
places during happy hour. but if i had to choose one, the first thing
that comes to mind is julia's empanadas (i go to the one in dupont
circle) - delicious!
Favorite Place to Eat in Manhattan (not cheapAss): seeing that i don't
live in manhattan (someday, someday!), it's hard to say what my
favorite place is. however, if and when in manhattan, there are 2
places i feel as though i have to stop by in order to make my trip
complete - koreatown (yes, there seem to be koreatowns wherever i go,
but there's something about the one in manhattan that reminds me of
seoul. yes, my love/hate relationship with my ethnic identity
continues) ... and koronet pizza (i love pizza!).
Secret hole-in-the wall you can't keep in the vault anymore: down here
in DC, there's a place called "the hitching post" - soul food that is
definitely worth the wait. it'd probably be considered CheapAssEats as
well, but the trek down from NYC would negate that. but if you're ever
in town, that's one place to check out.
What makes you a cheap-Ass: while quality is most important, quantity
has a special place in my heart~
What you're making for Dinner: depends on the day. today? maybe pasta
(i haven't had pasta in some time ... in your face carb-haters!),
maybe tacos, i dunno ...
What is the weirdest food you have eaten: i'll pretty much try
anything at least once. and heck, i've been to asia, so i've eaten
some pretty rank things. among them: fried crickets, beef knees, and
pizza with pepperonies and strawberries as toppings
