Birthday, Part 3: Whose Streets?

I don’t work on my birthday. It’s kind of a rule. I usually flee town, hitting the road for vegan eats and roadside attractions. But times are tight. With cash flow low, I planned to spend the day in my city, New York City, enjoying the sights on my own clock and armed with my [...]

Hello, East River Ferry

I don’t find myself above 14th street on the east side very often. Besides the senior I visit, there is no reason to be. I also dislike the 4/5/6 train. I dislike the screech of it entering stations; I dislike its path… how it’s always at an arctic temperature of -12 degrees. I try to [...]

1998 Called…

I did most of my growing up in the 90′s. I did a zine. Worked in record stores. Went vegetarian. Fell in love with misfits.. often who listened to The Misfits. Had an amazing record collection. Listened to Riot Grrrl. [Balanced that with Lou Barlow. Balanced that with Unwound.] Music was my everything, the score to a [...]

Snow Days and Nights/Pantry Turnover

My buddy and I woke up to the chime of my phone. 10 minutes before I received the NYC Alert text, The Electrician delivered the sweet, sweet news of the snow day. I texted the other 5th grade teachers and went back to bed, lulled by the exclamations of the ambitious shovelers outside and the [...]

Night of the Freegans [Part 1]

My friend Karen has one eye on the curb at all times. She rescues abandoned furniture, peruses through bags of clothing, breaks in our conversation to quickly scout a heap; palpating a bulbous black bag, can feel new life. She knows the trash days, the recycling days, the apartment buildings that seem to be clueless [...]

Starting to say goodbye to Summer

Stop. Remember this moment. Summer has peaked. We’re about to descend down its slope, quickly. Halloween is already in the stores. We’ll pass through September, transitioning into the swift sweep of Thanksgiving and into Christmas and 2011. And repeat. But now, stop. Commit the clam behind your knees to memory, the sticky layer on your [...]

Lunch: It’s What’s For Dinner {Dunch Report}

It’s too hot for 3 meals a day. Here are my recent dunch highlights. Urban Rustic makes a mean Club Sandwich, the all-vegan Unclub. I’ve gone on about it before, yes. [Tofurky, Vegenaise, Dijon mustard, strips of tempeh bacon, local tomatoes and sprouts in between three slices of soft, toasted spelt bread.] Nothing fancy, I know, [...]
