Best Food Trucks in the City

Perhaps the only reason to paste and look at this link, is if you are coming to the City and want to have a food truck experience. [If you live in Portland, OR it’s a moot point.] The list includes: ice cream, donuts, steak pies, tacos, middle eastern, pupusas, to name but a few.  And the list does not include those in Brooklyn.  I would not be surprised but that the city Portland has more and greater diversity.

Was One of Those

Caught the A-train last evening after tech with a group of actors from the show.  We were chatting about the film Disruption.  Got to my stop – I thought.  Jumped out in a hurry, as I was a bit late getting to the open door,  right in my face saw the signage 23rd – [not 14th] turned around and jumped back in.  Have seen others do that and always wondered what happened.  Now I know.  One gets to chatting and doesn’t pay attention to the details.

The Race of Gentlemen

Why the ’32 hot rods were on my street.  In anticipation of the Race of Gentlemen.   It is I believe a[n]  eu·phe·mism.     http://www.theraceofgentlemen.com

In the years I lived in “buttscratch” Virginia, these were known as “Tractor Pulls”.  The folk there didn’t know to fancy up the name.  They weren’t tractors either.  It was a fun event to watch young guys burn out the engines of their hot pick up trucks.

We Won

Did I report that the competition in which the new play “Call Raul” was presented, we won our round.  We were up against four other plays.  Now we compete with 5 other plays in a final round  October 2nd.   I attended two sessions of 10 plays, two of which will win and be part of the five.  That added to the afternoon of sitting through six new plays for one of the theatre companies of which I am a member.  Only in the City.

ps   After sitting through 10 plays, 5 each session, the two I voted for as best, indeed won.  The audience does vote with integrity.  Not always the play with the most laughs.

Make On-the-Cusp Wine Better

Opened a bottle of Cabernet that should have been better.  Had on hand fresh raspberries that were juicy.  Added 6 of the to the wine in the bottle, making certain the juice was released and voila, a whole new experience.  And it didn’t taste like berries, it just tasted like I  expected the wine to taste originally.

 

Outside My Window -part 3

These I recognize, and they are the most disconcerting.  There were three of them, and the fire appeared to be in the 4th building unit of my building.  Most of our units have fireplaces, but if the owner hasn’t remodeled the fireplace in your unit, then it is beyond unsafe.  Every year a new tenant has to find that out by trial and error.  Scares the rest of the street silly.  But I asked around and found that the reason for this show of NYFD was some tenant had left the gas stove on, and the smell of gas was noted by a neighbor.
