5 Minutes in Brooklyn: DiFara’s Pizza

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: April 3, 2008
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.

I sincerely hope we can avoid any major accidents here in Brooklyn [...]

Iitha is not quite the place where James Bond might have found his man (seats just 14 people at a time), but it does qualify as interesting.

A new site that was just brought to my attention via the ueber-hip BoingBoing is Outside.in .

Nice to see so much relevant information [...]

Ay Chihuahua! Mi Estomago!

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: January 13, 2006
Lupe and I have arrived safely in Guadalajara Wednesday afternoon, after a most enjoyable 4 days in New Braunfels, Texas. We have consumed much brisket (especially at one roadside stop that the proprietor insisted on calling "Knucklehead’s"), and many tacos.
