06.03.06 by Widge @ 3:12 am  So while prepping for being in NYC last weekend, there's always a need to find cool, interesting places to eat. Because fast food just doesn't cut it while on vacation, right? A great resource we've found for the area is The Girl Who Ate Everything. Since tea and Lewis Carroll are both easy things to dig, Alice's Tea Cup was a natural fit. They have a new breakfast menu, so we figured why not swing up to 73rd Street and snag the first meal of the day, plus some tea? The theme of the restaurant is handled quite well: in true Mad Hatter fashion, the furniture and teacups and whatnot had no unifying theme. Our table was the base of a treadle sewing machine and the table next to us had a glass top over a display area with teacups and plates and such. The teacups might match...or might not. Around the walls were pictures of folks in Wonderland gear enjoying teatime, with quotes from Carroll here and there. The restroom also has a nice picture of Alice and the Red Queen, admonishing employees who neglect to wash their hands that they will lose their heads. Ambience factor was high.

For all the mayhem that's taking place in Milford, Michigan while the FBI digs up the place, check out the article here. We like the cupcake because if the hand's coming up from the ground--and it's green--that means we're talking Zombie Hoffa. So, you know, cool. Categorized as: Food

05.04.06 by Widge @ 10:18 am  May is National Hamburger Month. Every month is hamburger month as far as we're concerned, but if you need an excuse to eat something that once had a face encased in a lovely bun, we say go for it. Blame us. We're cool with that. Categorized as: Food

Of all the marketing tie-ins that could have worked for Sony's piece of shit Americanized version, this might have been the one. And, ironically, it's the only thing they didn't brand with Godzilla. Go figure. Headsup via Boing Boing. Categorized as: Food

08.30.05 by Widge @ 4:46 am  Let's face it, folks. Coffee is a caffeine delivery system. So is most everything else we love around here: Coke, Jolt, and so on and so forth. Sometimes you want caffeine and sugar. Sometimes you want a particular taste. But sometimes you just want to get the caffeine. No muss, no fuss. You want it and you need it fast. And sometimes you're trying to avoid excess calories and sugar and stuff. Like me, for example. I'm sick of people looking for me at DragonCon asking stuff like, "Have you seen the great ebony whale?" So I'm cutting back--but I still need the caffeine. Categorized as: Food
