Miracle Grill Closing?

Hells to the yeah, according to OTBKB:

"I just heard from a very reliable source that Miracle Grill, the Tex-Mex restaurant on Seventh Avenue and 3rd Street, will be closing. Sunday is their last day. My source was  told by an employee at the restaurant."

Also, HOLY SHIT!: Bobby Flay was the original chef there??

Anyway.

I was always kinda meh about Miracle, though it def sucks balls if their shuttering is recesh related.

That's a pretty hot piece of real estate ass they've got though on that corner...if this shit is true, wonder who will take it over next?

Platinum Babies [My Tivo *Just* Threw Up]

Thank fucking gawd I saw this post on McBrooklyn last week...otherwise it could have taken me months of googling and channel surfing before I came across this majestic new TV series from WE: Platinum Babies.

If you've ever seen their barftastical series Platinum Weddings, you can pretty much guess what we're dealing with here, but just in case, let me spell it out for you anyway:

"Tatyanna, a hip and eco-conscious writer, is not afraid to spend on her second child. Her family belongs to a trendy private lifestyle club in Soho, her friend invites her to a trunk show to preview exclusive maternity wear and the baby's christening happens on a Mediterranean island where the family is flown."

Oh, and you also should know that Tatyanna and her husband live in Brooklyn.

'Where Am I Going to Move? Brooklyn?'

I don't normally do this cut-n-paste shit, but this is just too good to pass up:

"Don't feel badly for your friend who's been out of work for months. Or the one who got laid off recently. Clearly, they're no match for this investment banker who's taking home a $1 million bonus this year, but has realized he'll have absolutely nothing left after accounting for his mortgage, Hamptons rental, private school tuition, ballet and fencing lessons for the kids, housekeeper, babysitters, gym memberships, and three psychotherapists (one for him, one for his wife, and a couples therapist). "Where am I going to move? Brooklyn?"

Delicious On The Slope's Passive Agressiveness Lives On

After my one poor experience at this lame restaurant, I concluded that they needed to spend far more time on the "delicious," aspects of their cuisine...cause it pretty much blew.

Needless to say, I haven't given it a thought since. So when I heard that they were shutting things down, I wasn't exactly surprised.

But this goodbye note is simply made of pure awesome.
