Dope Pushin’

If you’re like me, you are old enough to have lived through the debut of Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth album, the fall of the Berlin wall,the three-year window where wearing two pairs of brightly colored tube socks was acceptable, and the American Drug Panic of the 1980s.  With the advent

Brooklyn vs Manhattan: An Open Question

Ever since I moved to New York, Manhattan seemed like some sort of Oz I would never get to live in. Sure I worked there, occasionally got inebriated there and slept on someone’s futon, but I never called it home. Now that I’m moving again, and recession rents in the

Broke Ass Financial Coaching: Should I Buy a Car or not?

At one time, when I was 24 years old I was not only leasing one vehicle, but two vehicles. Wow. Really? What an ass! Ok, well at this point now, I have not owned a car for almost four years and I am super ecstatic about it. I hate to brag and everything but I ride San Francisco’s public transportation system, Muni, and I flippin’ love it. I don’t even buy a fastpass because I know that I spend less on fares individually based on how much I ride.

FREE Booze from RetailMeNot.com Tonight at Roe

I still haven’t been to Roe yet.  I think it’s a bit fancier (read: more expensive) than I’m used to.  But I’ve heard good things about it…at least I think I have.  To tell you the truth, I don’t even know what I heard about it.  I just know it

Fuck Ray’s: The Best Slices in Manhattan

Almost a year ago I gave up eating dairy. Obviously, since fire is hot, and the sky is blue and cheese is one of the best things in life, it really sucked.  Health-wise the difference has been nothing short of transformative but cheese is still amazing, and pizza in New
