As I’ve said before, the bike might really be the new “it” accessory. Like this guy above, it seems like the bike riders downtown are getting hipper and hipper. Just the other day I saw a woman riding her bike in a dress and two-inch heels! However, I specifically enjoy this particular bike rider not only because he braves the Chinatown traffic, but all the while he’s checking his Blackberry and eating a popsicle! Nothing says “I’m comfortable with my sexuality” like a man eating a popsicle.
First, I don’t cook. Second, no one in my immediate family really caught the cooking bug (until now, that I’ve moved far away, as both my sister and younger brother seem to have picked it up), Third, EVERYONE thinks I know how to cook and have been doing so for my whole existence when I make this recipe (which has been twice). It’s.that.good.
You can make it without the chicken and substitute organic peanut butter. etc. and the leftovers (shown in this photo) are almost better than the original batch.
Just beware, the last time I made this a friend and I came home around 3:00 am and seriously binged on the entire bowl of it. The perfect mixture of sweet and salty, it is hard to stop which is why it is one of my all time favorites:
“The topic of the exhibition – flexibility – gave me the chance to find again one of these ideas that were still unsolved. This enabled me to create open objects that, like a programme, can be modified, erased and restarted multiple times.”- Fernando Brízio
Yesterday New York City held the infamous Gay Pride Parade. (Go HERE for last year’s coverage). With all of its feathers, hot shorts, glitter, glam, and dance music the parade was by far an event to remember. The festivities began at 12 and continued throughout the day even through the rain!
With Fourth of July coming up this Friday, this party dress of the week post has gone All-American. Susana Monaco has three dresses that can easily transform from beach bum to bar babe in five minutes flat. All you need to do is change out of your flip-flops into four-inch heels. Easy as apple-pie! Susana Monaco also has the option to go red, white or blue! How patriotic! With these dresses, other guests at your various Independence Day celebrations will be seeing stars…and maybe some stripes too!
Today’s Fame Game Matchup is between Patricia Field and Rachel Zoe. Both are uber important celebrity stylists and social butterflies. Who wins the Fame Game Matchup? Field’s claim to fame was Sex and the CIty, now, she owns one of my favorite stores on Bowery. Zoe’s claim to fame is emmulating the Olsen’s and styling the likes of Nicole Richie, and Mischa Barton.
Silvano Marchetto, the owner of Da Silvano, has one of the most unique personal styles I’ve seen. Here he is rocking out some snake printed flats (as in a snake painted on top not snakeskin material), and some blue polished toenails.
This was at the cancer vixen event that we posted on last week with photos by Rob Rich. Click HERE for more pictures of DaSilvano at the event.
Today’s “Best 2K I Ever Spent” comes straight out of the east village…though you don’t technically have to pay to get a table at Alphabet Lounge, the $20 cover charge is equivalent and this weekend there were more than a few people that chose the spot as their to-go to get loose. Looks like there was even a bachelorette party there. Enjoy…

Roger Rosenblatt has been the essayist for TIME and the New York Times, and a correspondent for PBS‘ NewsHour. He was the New Republic’s and US World Report and News‘ senior editor. He’s written 12 nationally acclaimed, often best-selling books. He’s amassed a Peabody, an Emmy, and two Polks. And he does not use email. I ask how such a feat is possible in our age of round-the-clock virtual connection. “A combination of inborn stupidity and laziness,” he tells me.

Chris commented on The Eye Candy Twins At Bungalow 8: "I would still like to see where Rolling Stone named them Europe and Asia's #1 DJs. Seem unlikely, but nothing's impossible."

"Tinsley who do you think you are? Camera crews following you around. I bet the whole opera audience was clueless as to who you are. Im glad GofG shows how things really are and doesn't just post..."
