I love Edie like pizza, only more so


This is from People in Pizza Slice Costumes Becoming Pizzas. Do I really need to say anything more?

Spent the morning and afternoon with B, pops-in-law and bro-in-law. We went to the High Line park for the first time, was pretty amazing, though full of tourists. Any politician who poo-pooed this project should be immediately voted out of office. There is not much commerce up there, but in the space under one of the buildings that the park pierces, there was an artisanal pastry-and-coffee vendor, and a an artisanal ice cream cone vendor, both making money hand over fist. At the base of the park at Gansevort, there were two ice cream trucks parked right next to each other. A standard Mr. Softee and an indie artisanal ice cream truck. The later had a line, the former did no business, despite a large price differential.

Spent the evening out. Went to a backyard party in Cobble Hill with some nice food. Right behind the yard was the backyard for a restaurant, of which the chef is friends with the party-hosting tenant and the person whose party it was for. The chef was constantly coming to the fence and contributing stuff to the party, a couple of bottle of wine here, a plate of sushi there. Now that's hospitality, and keeping your customer base happy! Now I want to visit that restaurant to see how they are!

BREAKFAST: 9am, watermelon, 3 apple muffins, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Holy crap, those muffins are good. Like Drake's coffee cakes, but better. As Chef M said in C-school, they're magically delicious.

PM SNACK: 12, 9 pork-chive dumplings, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
From the hole-in-the wall dumpling house I like, which is next to the hotel my dad-in-law is staying.

LUNCH: 2pm, 4 beef tamales, chips and salsa, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Not very good compared to the tamale I had a week ago at the more authentic place in Williamsburg.

PM SNACKINGS 6:30-8pm, various crostini, a few cookies, pigs in blankets, fancy cheeses, a few glasses of sangria, bottle of water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
At a back yard party in Cobble Hill.

EVENING SNORT: 9pm, 1 beer, .5 bowl, hunger 3/5
Visited a friend who just bought a place in Clinton Hill, really nice.

EVENING SNACK: 11pm, watermelon, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
