Hey! So what’s the deal with brunch?

You might know this picture as Monks Diner on the TV show Seinfield- There’s also a terrible Susan Vega song about it too- It’s about as good as the food.  The diner is actually a real diner on the Upper West Side of New York.  The place is called Toms diner, They only ever seem […]

Guggenheim – just like Geelong

New York has one – what a pitty Geelong hasn’t  (at least it gave a lot of people on council a free trip over here at ratepayers expence).  Perhaps we should turn Malop Street into Time Square.

We came across the Trump Tower on 5th Avenue and thought we should pop in and see if Donald was on the turps in the bar, but no..he must have been off counting his billions. We had a beer in the fancy bar- thinking it would cost us all we had but all turned out […]
