• The Brooklyn Kitchen First Birthday Party & Bodega Challenge is TONIGHT!
• Especially relevant to me: Curing Insomnia Without the Pills [nytimes]
• Adrian Grenier: Hot or Not?* The Entourage cast held a book signing yesterday and there were like 20 people standing in (on) line, as compared to more like 200 for The Sopranos book signing. I love the show but am simply having difficulty categorizing him as hot or not. Thoughts?

*As Adrian Grenier (the actual person), not as Vincent Chase (who is obviously hot)

A chilly fall forecast. Get cozy!

Few Showers / Wind
High 50° F
Precip: 40%

Windy. A few showers from time to time. High near 50F. Winds N at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 40%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

I think it might be a perfect day to go see American Gangster, which was partially filmed in my old ‘hood in South Williamsburg. I walked through the set a few times and once had meaningful eye contact with some guy, then seconds later realised it was Russell Crowe. But it was too late for me to go back. Now after revisiting his oeuvre, I understand why so many women wanted to hit it from 1998–present.

Lastly, Meatloafing on Ice was a tremendous success. Read on for a video preview of the event. Complete coverage tomorrow Monday or Tuesday!

My weekend reached its high point during a trip to DiFara, where the best pizza ever is artfully made by the most loveable man ever. The genius of DiFara is pretty well known and documented, but this time I got a little closer to Dom, when I was invited behind the counter to put my arm around him and smile gleefully.

The Sex and the City movie has been filming all over New York—notably in Midtown, where I work—for the last few weeks. Today in Bryant Park, I caught a glimpse of Mr. Big, SJP, Charlotte, and Miranda. Wheee! Security was tight and so are these photos.

Brooklyn band Child Abuse put on a great show tonight at Cake Shop. Whether or not they actually hate children has yet to be confirmed, but you can find out in our forthcoming interview. The cuddly trio begins a U.S. & Canada tour (in a biodiesel van!) next week, so for now: a brief photo recap of tonight’s performance.

Luke usually makes scary/weird faces and/or consumes the mic.
