Most of the year, I despise the MTA with an enthusiasm that I reserve for only the most putrid members of our society, like skeazy guys who catcall and expect you to be appreciative, and Rupert Murdoch. This hatred is for the usual, obvious reasons of fare hikes and the

There was an article in the NY Times awhile ago about maximizing your freezer; apparently its good to freeze just about anything.  And  I thought it was just good for making cheap vodkas drinkable and preserving November snowballs. The first point of the article is the broad reminder to save

For some reason, being smart and cultured is considered sexy. Whether you actually are these things doesn’t really matter as long as you pretend to be, or at least pretend to want to be. And that’s where museum free days come in. Pretty much all of the best museums in
