Playa/Cabana Bar 2.0?

Photo: Rob BlattOur bud Rob Blatt sent us these photos, and unless I'm still hungover from last night: looks like there's some construction activity in the old Cabana Bar space!

Not sure if they're working on both the old Playa AND Cabana Bar space, or just the Cabana Bar space, and it's hard to make out who's coming in (though they do already have a liquor license).

photo: Rob BlattPersonally, I'd also suggest that they immeds call a vodoo doctor, or one of those peeps that Jeff Lewis from Flipping Out hires to "cleanse a space" that he can't sell, cause according to CNN that spot is soooo cursed.

Anyone have deets??

VANILLA ICED, ICED COFFEE...

You know how sometimes you're just sitting around, and then you think to yourself: "I wonder how much every single solitary fucking cup of iced coffee in Park Slope costs?" Like EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Yeah, me too.

Well, wonder no more, cause @bumpershine figured allllll that shit out for all your asses in their Park Slope Iced Coffee Survey. And this shit is like more comprehensive than wikipedia.

Check it.

Ode To The Fresh Squeezed OJ At La Bagel Delight

I drank it too quickly to take a real pic...oopsOk, so yes there are spots in Park Slope that *might* have better bagels, and yes the store was clearly laid out by an evil, blind, anti feng shui advocate, but I will fight ANY motherfucker to the death over defending the honor of this fact: La Bagel Delight has the most amazing, other-worldly, resplendent fresh squeezed OJ that has e-v-e-r crossed my motherfuckin lips.

This stuff is like the blow-job of beverages. And this is coming from someone who used to reside in Florida...THE SUNSHINE STATE. The place where almost all oranges come from.

I'm not even really normally an OJ person at all. Like I'll never buy it at the supermarket, and I never order it at a restaurant, but I swear to gawd: I almost committed suicide last weekend when I hopped over to La Bagel on Sat morn and I ordered my juice and they were like "sorry, we don't have any today."

I may have actually started weeping at the counter.

And that's why yesterday, I was sooooo excited to, yet again, be reunited with my OJ and it feels so good, I forgot to take a pic before I drank it all.

Oopsie.

So have you tried this shit?? Can I get a holla??

Cupcakes-n-Muffin Tops

Ok, FUCK IT.

My Blog Vacay was pretty much an epic failure, so I may as well throw in my towel a day early. I JUST CAN'T QUIT YOU BTCHZ, BTCHZ!

Anyhoo, a new Crumbs Bakery opened in Brooklyn Heights. I don't really care cause I think Crumbs cupcakes suck a dizzle (they look gorgeous but taste like crap on a stick---Robicelli's all the way!). That's mildly interesting news in and of itself, but I was scrolling on through the comments on Brownstoner and I came across this little gem:

I swear this year every single woman in Park Slope is pregnant.

uhh.. im pretty sure that isnt the case. most of them just let themselves go when they snagged a nerdy husband.

someone should open up a shop called Muffin Top. that WOULD do quite well in park slope. they could sell not only muffins, but unflattering overpriced clothing.

*rob*

Oh SNAP! I don't even know what the fuck this *means* but I love it anyway.

If I've told you once, I've told you a million fucking times: all the best shit is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS in the comments, ppl. Live and learn.
