So I got one of those and now I can watch FOX. Well, FOX and City Drive Live. And with FOX's line up I have to admit I can't turn away from this new channel. This video fish bowl flashes on different parts of New York City from the FDR to Riverside Drive to Times Square displaying traffic. Just traffic. Nothing else. I hate traffic when I'm in it but as an entertainment source it's UNBELIEVABLE.

After the series finale five million fans will exclaim, "THAT'S IT? THAT'S IT?!?" and go on a Frankensteinesque rampage through our cities, ending civilization as we know it.<br /><br />Before that happens you might be interested in checking out the Vilcek Foundation's <a href="http://www.vilcek.org/#/events/">LOST exhibit</a>. It opens today and celebrates the artists and filmmakers behind LOST. The primary focus seems to be the images and biographies of 20 immigrant and first-generation contributors to the hit television show, including Executive Producer Carlton Cuse, writer Melinda Hsu Taylor, actor Jorge Garcia (Hurley), and cinematographer John Bartley.<br /><br />Yeah. I know. All five seasons I've been wondering what made Melinda Hsu Taylor tick too. In my opinion, the real draw of the exhibit is the abundance of original props from the show. For a preview of what they're featuring check out this <a href="http://tv.gawker.com/5543503/video-of-our-night-at-the-lost-exhibition">short video</a>.

A treat for anyone who loves meeting weird pet owners. The <a href="http://nycpetshow.com/general.html">NYC Pet Show</a> website boasts "an interactive experience comprised of activities, meet & greets, seminars and panel discussions." Who have they lined up for the meet & greet? Former dog beauty contest winners? The man who invented the KONG toy? Will the panel discussions focus on the important "cat vs dog" debate? Or just cover the "will your dog play fetch with any old ball" controversy that always happens at these conferences?

The funny thing about this Ray phenomena is that I'm not entirely sure that I did.<br /><br />Supposedly the original restaurant was opened by Ralph Cuomo at 27 Prince Street in 1959. There's no real way to verify the original location though.

Check it out.<br /><br />The beauty of Violation Report is that it focuses on what New Yorkers do best, publicly and anonymously shaming their fellow man. All you have to do is take a photo, file a detailed report on their site, and it will go live on their <a href="http://www.violationreport.org/violations/files.php">violation database</a>. I know, I looked through it to make sure I wasn't already reported too.<br /><br />If you don't feel like anonymously shaming people the site provides downloadable tickets you can issue in person.

He then went on to say that he could totally score two <a href="http://newyorkisridiculous.blogspot.com/2010/04/sparks-energy-drink.html">Sparks</a> for that much and high-fived his friend who tweeted "NPR u r so 2009."<br /><br />For the ever-funny SNL census skit <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/4165/saturday-night-live-census-taker">click here</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">photo courtesy of <a href="http://www.latfh.com/">latfh.com</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701292181287403695.post-6244521283455556792010-04-14T10:10:00.003-04:002010-04-14T10:10:00.696-04:00NY Mag declares New Jersey Most Livable Neighborhood in New YorkJ/k!

What is Sparks you say? Why only the number one best-selling alcoholic energy drink in the city of New York featuring malt liquor, taurine, caffeine, guarana and ginseng.<br /><br />Apparently after corporate America (hate you corporate America! you ruin everything!) found out that kids love energy drinks and secretly drinking alcohol and Sparks is an energy drink and has 7% alcohol content in it they were like "Dagnabit! No more caffeine in Sparks!" and MillerCoors was all like, "Yes sir. Right away sir."<br /><br />So the bad news is that in early 2009 everyone got all sad because Sparks was going to die without it's caffeine boost. Now the good news: we're here a year and a half later to point out that it did not. Sparks may exist in other cities but it in New York you can find it everywhere milk is sold. <a href="http://www.sparks.com/#/locator">See?</a><br /><br />So while it may not carry the same kick it used to it still tastes gross and makes you look homeless.

At some point someone would have to notice all of the successful Upper East Side teenager-does-drugs-and-has-sex TV shows and say, "I know. I'll be the 43975304976 person to do a movie about that." The movie, Twelve, received horrible reviews at Sundance and may not see much success but we had to bring you this trailer.<br /><br />Why? Because it was not enough to just reference Upper East Side shows like Gossip Girl and NYC Prep, they had to deliberately pluck the stars from those shows to fill their cast. Check out Chace Crawford (Nate on GG) being moody or just zoom ahead to the 1:18 marker to watch PC from NYC Prep cum in his pants. What a way to break into the entertainment industry.<br /><br />In our opinion it would be a simple editing fix to make this movie a great success: just switch in Chace selling his body to 50 Cent for drugs instead of that Blair Waldorf rip-off. Ta-daa.

For most of us New Yorkers it's a simple act of leaping into traffic with your arm upright (I prefer the thumb in, four finger method myself) but what once was an art can now be called science.<br /><br />Using GPS wizardry a detailed map on the best spots to get a cab at a given day and time has been developed. Topping the list for 9 a.m. Monday cab hails are, not surprisingly, Pennsylvania Station and Grand Central. However, at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, passengers stumble into more cabs at 10th Avenue and 27th Street in Chelsea than anywhere else in the city. Is Bungalow 8 making a come back?
