Granola & Pies
Finally I have found some decent granola in New York. It's not particularily sweet and tastes like crumbled oaty biscuits. You can only get it on Saturdays at the Union Square Markets. I stocked up today - and got lots of mega clumps (the best part). It's really yummy and has to serve as a subsitute for my dearly missed 'maple nut crunch' from Macro in Sydney.

Nude Party
After attending a BBQ on Roosevelt Island a few weeks ago, I joined Paul and Giselle late that night, to go out to Long Island to go to a Pirate themed party a friend was having.
It was a beautiful, warm evening and this house was out in suburbia somewhere. It was a huge property with a giant garden and swimming pool. Most people were not wearing anything at the party. Despite the confronting nudity (which was actually not confronting at all) it was a lovely, serene night........

Wooden Beads
I've always had a bit of an obsession with wooden jewelry.
Today I was walking down Broadway from Herald Square and found a store that sold individual round wooden beads in three different shades with holes through the middle. I bought a packet and some leather string and voilĂ ....

The autobiographical fiction
Bret Easton Ellis reading and book launch at Barnes & Noble Union Square
Last night I went to see BEE read from his newest book Lunar Park. I also had him sign it and another old one just after the reading.
The only things I asked him about was the movie version of Glamorama and I also asked him to write something random inside one of my books. He looked up to the B&N man over seeing the event where strict rules were made very clear before the reading ("Bret will only be signing his name, there will be no personalisation") and intimidated by the B&N man, BEE shook his head and said "Sorry, I'm not allowed, if you come to the reading I'm doing at Coliseum Books, I can do it". Who would have thought a man who is renowed for his texts of violence and misogyny is actually scared of the B&N man.
BEE seemed like someone on anti-depressants. He had this totally fake persona, seemingly really enjoying the reading, responding to tedious questions and having hundreds of books to sign for his sadistic fans. He seemed 'troubled' almost to be there. I was very suspicious of his enjoyment of the evening. To me, he really just seemed like someone who had stepped right out of his books.
I did however start reading Lunar Park this afternoon and I love it. I've only read 25 pages so far, but it seems like a Charlie Kaufman (as in the whole Adaptation thing) meets classic BEE.

The Enchilada
The best cheap mexican I've come across...out of Mexico that is....
It's a very basic eat-in, take-out, delivery dive just off University Place.
I recommend the beef tacos and salsa, all you need is spare change.
28 East 12th St (just off University Place)
Also check out the Pita Pocket kosher joint across the road they do a great felafel and hummus pita for $3.50
