Kottke's got a great, long post on Shopsin's, the "eccentric" NYC
diner with a long menu that reads like the label on a bottle of Dr
Bonner's soap. Kottke links to lots of great supplementary material
but the gem is the

the menu itself.

The declining state of diner dining
The declining state of diner dining
07/19/2004 07:57 PMA rather disheartening article in the week's New York magazine, The
Death of the Diner: What’s killing the cheeseburger deluxe?
Sad but true: The classic New York coffee shop is fading fast. The
recession is part of the problem; according to Pan Gregorian
Enterprises, a purchasing co-op for coffee shops and diners that has
475 local members, revenues were down 20 percent last year. But there
are other forces at work, from skyrocketing rents to Starbucks
hegemony, that are forcing coffee-shop owners...into retirement.
Some of my favorite Manhattan places to eat are diners: in Tribeca I
frequently had lunch at the Square Diner (at the intersection of
Leonard and West Broadway), closer to my hood I like Joe Jr's on Sixth
Avenue and the Bonbonniere on Eighth Avenue. And whenever I go to the
movies up on 34th Street, I like to have a pre-theatre meal at the
Cheyenne, at Ninth Avenue and 33rd Street.
One of the things I missed most about the east coast during my tenure
in San Francisco were diners, and one of the highlights of my first
return to New York City after an absence of many years was our trip to
the now-demolished Jones Diner. It might have been the final push I
needed to move back east. I've never tasted a better grilled cheese,
or a worse cup of coffee, or had a nicer time on a cold winter's
afternoon with the light fading into a cruddy January grey. There's a
lot I could do without in this world, but I can't say that I want to
live a life without my diners.

02/01/2005 10:09 PMI had to go all the way over to LISNews<
/a> to find out that a sister Library System here in Illinois has
started a totally awesome project called Libraries Matter. Here at home,
our kids saved up some money to buy the 10–pack of Lance
Armstrong yellow wristbands because they’re all the rage at
school. Can you imagine if we could start something similar with these
blue ones for libraries? Brilliant job, Alliance Library
System!
One thing, though – how about offering packs
smaller than 50 so that ordinary folks like myself can buy some and
give them out to friends, kids, etc.? Let’s get some grassroots
support going, not just top down from the institutional level! Then,
let’s think about how we can use these on Advocacy Day this
year.
Tangent: When visiting the ALS web site tonight,
I realized they’ve added blogs to the home page (kind of, sort
of). Sweet! Unfortunately, no RSS feeds to be found anywhere, which
means I won’t be able to add them to my aggregator, which means
I’ll have to keep relying on other web sites to highlight ALS
projects for me. Not sweet. C’mon, ALS, show us the RSS!

Neither Red Nor Blue
Neither Red Nor Blue
12/26/2004 12:55 PMI like politics. I follow it the way some people follow sports. The
Democrat Party and Republican Party are major league teams. They
battle each other in national, state and local contests. They have
mascots, both created by the same person. They have fanatical
supporters just like any sport. Like minor league teams, there are
also minor political parties to watch that sometimes play spoiler and
sometimes gain enough strength to influence the major parties.
Some operate only locally, some statewide, and some try to operate
nationally. I also enjoy following individual personalities. People
love and hate them like they love and hate sports teams and athletes.
I'm sometimes startled by the degree of blind adoration or blind
rage that politicians can inspire in otherwise calm, rational
people. Lately, I've noticed that there's a growing tendency to
divide the United States into red states and blue states. People seem
to think that it's possible for an entire state to be Democrat or
Republican. How can that be if it's difficult to even categorize
individual Americans into definite camps? Now, although once
restricted to politics, the idea is spreading to other arenas. I
saw a suggestion that Hollywood start targetting states as red or blue
audiences. I've seen statistics that compare red states versus
blue states on categories such as religion, income, and even gifts to
charity. The division of the United States into red and blue states
is overly simplistic and misleading.
