the new yorker

note: i got a bit ahead of myself!
chronologically speaking (big word, huh?), this post should have actually been posted before the Italy blog entry, but i've become rusty in my old age, so just pretend you read this first, thanks.
(not that it makes a lick of difference [why is 'difference' measured in 'licks'?])



alright! back in New York City!
...and with every single one of my NY-based friends (all three of them) being out of town for the Labor Day weekend, i was left to my own devices.

staying in Brooklyn this time, i took the opportunity to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and into Manhattan for some retail therapy -- is it still called 'therapy' when you're already in a good mood but still feel like buying stuff?

prior to this trip, i'd had a friend ask me if i was going to go to Dean & Deluca when i was next in NYC.
the same friend screwed up his face and looked at me like i was a leper when i told him that i'd never heard of Dean & Deluca:

friend: "WHAT?!"
mitch: "what? i'm sorry, i don't know what that is..."
friend: "you've never heard of Dean & Deluca?! don't you watch Sex and the City?!"
mitch: "oh, uh, well i've seen a couple of episodes, sure."
friend: "are you sure you're gay?"


so, now i can proudly report that i DO in actual fact know what Dean & Deluca is, AND i've been there.
Whew. Here i was thinking that to be liked, all you had to do was be a nice person. But it turns out, the secret to popularity lies in your knowledge of a certain deli on Broadway in New York City that has featured on a TV show about fashion, and from what i can tell, cunnilingus.

here are the photos:


stay tuned, next week: will ACTUALLY be a Parisian getaway with my boys!!


let the good times roll!!
