Not Really News, or What Makes NY Mag Readable

El Sombrero is no longer doing take out margaritas. This happened in 2004 but they started up again once the hype died. I've never had a more potent margarita. Rumor has it they are made of tequila, dishwater and lemon juice. Still the best place to get cheap pitchers ($20 last time I was there) and I can still outdrink most (Mike not included).

I love Gawker and the new editors finally stepped it up since the guest editors have been a bit of a snooze lately. While they are also obviously ranting on about former college acquaintances like me (like EVC, this chick doesn't deserve more attention then the Gawker post), they've continued to make their intern comment on NY Mag's Look Book, this week delivered in video form. This dude should be voted into their Douchebag Hall of Fame. He's the epitome of a perpetrator and couldn't be crying for approval any harder. If you don't feel like watching the video, the comments say it all, including a jab at "hith lithp". You should really watch it to fully understand the fullness of his douchebaggery.

Finally, money is the topic of this week's issue of New York and there are some great articles that had me absorbed for hours today. It hit a nerve with me, starting with the article about how money can get between friends whether they realize it or not. I can relate on all ends of the situation. There's also a terribly heartbreaking article about a guy who makes $10/hr as a security guard. I could only hope that someone who can offer this poor guy a better job reads this article. The wealth discrepancy in NYC is outta control and this issue covers it all. Check check it.
