Chicken? Lining Up For .99¢ Two Piece Fryers at Popeye’s

I can’t quite attest to the quality of Popeye’s, as that when I have that fast food fried chicken itch to scratch, I generally pay a visit to the colonel. I have noticed, however that Popeye’s fans are ardent in their loyalty to the one-eyed mariner’s chicken shack, extolling the

Apple Picking and Brooklyn Hippies

Being that it’s fall and all, I’ve been itching to embrace all sorts of Autumn-y activities. I’ve drank every variety of Pumpkin beer, watched numerous B-horror movies and now I’m going to tackle apple pie. If you missed the Apple Pie bake off at Enid’s yesterday, shame on you, but

Wonderland Exhibit: Life in the Tenderloin

Go to Fish Bar and be Happy

My friend said he was “free like a bird.” I pointed out that we were at Fish Bar, and he shouldn’t be talking about birds. He then claimed to be “free like a fish?” We decided it was best to stop changing cliches to be about fish. Then he said,

Grandma’s Saloon

Grandma’s clientele mostly consists of old people, poolsharks and pukers.  Patches from police, firemen and paramedics line the wall behind the bar while an old mid 80’s video game keeps a silent vigil over a dismal scene.  I hope I’m not drinking in places like Grandma’s in 30 years.  It’s
