Tony M sent in a PDF of that NYer Gary Snyder profile I mentioned before. The restaurant in question, by the way, appears to be the New Moon Cafe. (Thanks, Peg)
Recession Special
October 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment
AP Keats tipped me off again today to an interesting, mostly already faded Craigslist NY trend: The Recession Special furniture/shoe/office supplies/knick-knack sale. In other words, businesses and civilians selling off their limited edition Sex and the City: The Movie Carrie Bradshaw–inspired Manolo Blahnik happy meal toys to pay their mortgages. It all makes me sad and nostalgic for more financially sound times and the original recession special: Two dogs and a drink at Gray’s Papaya.
Apologies to this dude, whose picture I stole

Show them to me) public television series with Gwyneth Paltrow Spain… on the road Again.
Come join us Wednesday, October 29th from 6–8pm where Mario will be signing copies of the book, which was published by the Ecco imprint of HarperCollins. Wine will be provided by Frexienet and Barneys in–house restaurant, Fred’s, will be serving Spain–inspired Mario concocted (What, no hyphenation for “Mario concocted”?) appetizers from the book.
See you uptown!Bartalio
