  1. Cobble, I am definately wrung out from dealing with it and it probably isn’t as bad as it seems today. I don’t say this for any other reason than it has been my experience with this f**king brownstone that I meet people who are great with technical things who have no freaking aesthetic sense at all. And you are dependant on them. I actually looked at a few stoops and thought that the color we had (which they tried to adjust) was the right to match but whether it was the execution of the color or what I don’t know. I didn’t pay the guy the final payment since they sprayed cement on the face of the building too. He is supposed to come Sunday to clean up. 🙁

  2. We went to Le Cirque last night.

    Very good, but not revelatory. What was revelatory was the price of three mojitos, $18 ea.

    There was a service glitch early on, then the service was great. kens, the sommelier was a somewhat haughty but quite attractive Russian woman.

    Weird wine list, only two Rieslings on the whole list. Do they figure the fashion folks that are said to hang out there will have trouble with them?

  3. what was that old story about the pied piper who led the rats out of somewhere and somewhere? there needs to be a bedbug piper who leads them all into the river. is that even possible? theoretically it is!

  4. Nice, but too gothic and not so catchy, jb.

    Right now it’s either the sax coda to Thunder Road or the chorus to Sandy. Maybe The Band’s version of Atlantic City. Oh, and if you’ve got good sound connected to your youtube source, there’s always Bruce with Roger McGuin doing Turn Turn Turn live.

  5. dona, it ALWAYS looks MUCH darker wet. That said, my stoop and all the repaired areas don’t match the original. Go have a look at the biggest brownstone of all…The palace Hotel on madison & 49th St…their repairs are similar.
