August 2010

A going-away dinner for a friend at Old Shanghai Deluxe in Manhattan’s Chinatown (by request — she was going to miss Chinese food like that).

New Long Island City items: Hook and Ladder 66, The Foundry, Metropolitan Building (funny story — I attended an art opening many years back and assumed for all this time that the people lived there and that this wasn’t actually an event space), Taxidepot (combines LIC’s two biggest industries — taxis and the film industry), Tom Cat Bakery (that’s where your bread comes from) and Z Hotel.

A page for the Queens-Midtown Tunnel compiles the ever-evolving billboards along Vernon Boulevard that are visible from the Manhattan-bound tunnel entrance (more to come as I get to them):

Tagging along with Jen on a work-related function at La Plaza Cultural in the East Village; never been inside there so I was excited about that:

Also, an aborted outing to the Prospect Park Bandshell.
