Today, Lupe relaxed at the end of the Garden Pier, in Red Hook. The pier is just across the small inlet of water that separates the pier from Fairway Supermarket, right next to the The Waterfront Museum. Enjoy the view.

5 Minutes in Brooklyn: DiFara’s Pizza

Went to Difara’s in Midwood, Brooklyn for lunch today. Best pizza in the world! Dom makes them by hand, one by one, all by himself. I have never seen any of his kids so much as touch the dough. In his day, he wasn’t an artisan, he was a pizza-maker. A true original.

Louis Theroux Meets The Israelites

Louis Theroux, intrepid reporter from the BBC, took a long, plaintive stare at Black Nationalism in Harlem in the early 2000′s (right around when Amadou Diallo was shot and killed by NYC police).

Queens Museum for a Day

Actually, it was more like an afternoon. The museum houses a wonderful scale model of the entire city presented at the 1964 World’s Fair. After the fair, “The Panorama of the City of New York” was used by Robert Moses in his citywide planning efforts. You can see his housing projects colored orange throughout the model. I remember my grandfather taking me here thirty year’s ago. Wow.

Looks like Tribe Called Quest likes to get down every once in awhile in Queens and Brooklyn, too.

OK, so it’s not Brooklyn, but it doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of respect for the Bronx.

Here’s to a Great Summer of Biking Ahead

Can you feel it? Can you feel the renaissance happening?

Having already knocked out the 5-Boro Bike Tour(click here for one man’s account), I am seriously excited about riding around the city this year. I might even take in a Critical Mass event.

I sincerely hope we can avoid any major accidents here in Brooklyn this year. Check out Bike Commute Tips for helpful reminders on safety.

Knock on wood, but I think this is going to be the best biking Summer yet.

Maahhhble Columns! – SNL w/ Scarlett Johansson

I thought SNL would be a complete dud with the hot, but wooden, Scarlett Johansson hosting. That was until I saw this skit. In the wake of the Don Imus debacle, thank you SNL for keeping ethnic humor respectable and hilarious.
