Vol. II

• Avenue Q - believe the hype. "Everybody's a Little Bit Racist" would be an early contender for song of the year if it weren't from like four years ago. Not always ahead of the curve here at Hurricane Eye.
  
  
• Berger's Delicatessen - everything you would expect it to be. Matzoh ball was a little too fluffy for my taste, but the egg salad sandwich (you gotta mix it up - Katz's provided pastrami on Monday) was divine. Knishes were strange. Quick service in the middle of the Diamond District - can't be beat.
  
  
• Tenement houses - sound crappy because they are crappy. The tenement museum has a kick-ass shop, though.
  
  
• Rebuilding the burned-down Central Synagogue (c. 1998) - how hard can it be when the principal donor is the family of Estée Lauder?
  
  
• Harold and Kumar were right.
