Bat Cake!

This awesome-looking Bat cake was made by an obviously talented baker/cake decorator in Italy, but I couldn’t find the recipe or decorating instructions anywhere on the interwebs. So if you are feeling ambitious and want to make this cake for Halloween, you will have to “wing’’ it.

Evolution of The Limelight: Former Church-Turned-Nightclub Becomes a Shopping Mall for Urban Douche Bags


Architect’s Rendering of The New Limelight Mall

Hey, remember back in the day when all the cool rock hipsters used hang out at The Limelight – the pseudo Goth nightclub-slash-den of iniquity located in an abandoned church – to dance to awesome music, take crazy drugs, have anonymous sex in the bathroom and plan grisly murders (see Michael Alig)?

Rocks Off Concert Cruise, A Very Fun Time!

If you like to drink, rock and be on a boat, I know an activity that you would really enjoy, and that activity is going out on a Rocks Off Concert Cruise. Oh my god, it is possibly the most fun thing that I think you can do on a summer night in New York City. The Rocks Off Concert Cruise happens a few evenings each week on a massive boat called the Temptress, and costs between $20 and $40; depending I guess on which band is playing.

Personally, I couldn’t give a crap about the Super Bowl. This evening I’ll be watching some Netflix, then Big Love and Flight of the Conchords in a blissfully Football-free wonderland. And I already had a big lunch at Gonzalez Y Gonzalez (hey, $5 Margaritas at the bar!) so I won’t be eating again tonight. But if I were to attend a Superbowl party (say, because I lost a bet) I sure would be happy to see this stadium made of tasty snacks waiting for me to sample. Here’s what’s in it:
