If Biking and Eating Don't Make You Vomit, You Should Do Gears & Grub

Personally, I'm:

  • Deathly afraid of riding a bike in NYC.
  • AND, very fucking lazy.

*BUT,* if I wasn't going to be away this weekend (READ: thank fucking gawd I am away this weekend), this is the sort of thing I could maybe get my ass motivated for: Gears and Grub.

Vendr.tv and Brooklyn by Bike have teamed up for this Brooklyn based eat-a-thon shit, and it sounds like they are going to be hitting up some great spots all around the BK.

You can Facebook RSVP herrrre.

BREAKING: EL JALAPENO IS OPEN!

This tip came in from my bud Amber, who between her and her husband Rob, have been keeping FIPS readers (and tweeters!) informed about the day-to-day goings on of our newest soon-to-fail (KIDDING! Kind of...) Park Slope restaurant: El Jalapeno!

If you'll recall, El Jalapeno went into the former Delicious on the Slope--everyone's fave Passive Agreesive restaurant on the corner-ish of President and 5th Ave.

Someone should get their ass over there pronto and see if any of their shit is good.

Cool or Not Cool: Babies In Bars? [Here we go Again]

Ok, first of all, please save your bullshit comments about how "tired" and "old" and "boring" this topic is. Duh, its been discussed before. I got it.

But here's the thing bitches: each time it IS discussed, lots of people chime in, and leave comments in forums, and clickity click on over to our fucking website, so obvs its still on people's minds.

On Brooklynian, opinions are all over the map: bebes ok, toddlers are not; bebes/kids are ok (I guess) if they are well behaved; I'm a parent and I have a bebe and I would NEVER bring it to a bar; I bring my bebe everywhere and I like it; in Europe, everyone brings their bebe to bars, but not their strollers.

Here's my take: if I'm in a bar and you're sitting off in the corner with your baby who is quiet and well behaved, I wouldn't even notice you. However, if you are sitting there with your double decker, penthouse bugaboo stroller and a screaming kid (and or one who is his running around, yelling, and spilling my water all over my fucking lap, true story), then I'm going to get pissed. Problem is, you can't exactly have a sign up that says: only well behaved kids allowed.

And since it sometimes seems like, in this neighborhood, there are only about 11 well behaved kids TOTAL (shoutout to the adorable little 6-year-old we saw at Sette last week who was quietly coloring most of the time and sweetly asked her parents if it was OK (!!??) if she got up to look at all the cool wine bottles around the open kitchen), the baby in bars things will likely continue to be a topic of discussion until the end of fucking time.

So, here we go again: Babies in Bars--Cool or not cool?

Solange Knowles Moving to Park Slope?

Uh, MAYBE! (that's what she tells Oprah today!).

Personally, I think this totally fucking rocks. B/c if Solange is here, Beyonce can't be far behind. And if BEYONCE IS HERE, THEN JAY-Z MIGHT BE HERE TOO!!!

JAY-Z, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!! HOVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Can you see it now? Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z having brunch at Rose Water (line totally fucking cut, o-f c-o-u-r-s-e). Beyonce, Jay-Z and Solange jogging the loop in Prospect Park ("what's that Mr. police officer? Black Escalade escorts ARE allowed in the park on weekends? I seeeeee"). Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z at Union Market ("I got 99 problems...but olives ain't one of em"). Beyonce, Solange at Jay-Z at Yogo Monster ("yo, yo, yo! Who wants some Yogo!?).

A girl can dream, can't she?
