Kate Heffernan: Archive

Dear Canada, You're Pre-Approved!

pile: Articles of Confederation; Article 11: “Canada acceding to this confederation, and adjoining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this Union; but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine States.” I imagine this was the first “You’re pre-approved!” junk mail. Early American...

Vague-ish

juliaheffernan:On my geography test we were asked to explain the Spice Trade. I had forgotten what exactly it was, but I figured I had a pretty good guess. So I wrote “The spice trade was between islands with spices and other countries without spices. The islands were exploited.” For this response, my teacher gave me full credit with a side comment of “a little vague.” That is almost as good...

FiOS coming to Sty-town. I live 400 feet from... →

This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me as a business move. Isn’t Sty-town mostly older people? War vets etc? I don’t think this is exactly the target demographic (especially when your dealing with the pool of New York City) for super high speed internet… (via pile)

Dexter and Weeds

juliaheffernan: So I have started watching Dexter. So far it is pretty good, a little creepy (I have to watch it with the lights on), but overall pretty good. But then I got to thinking that the other Showtime show that I watch is Weeds and realized that neither of these shows could possibly end well. Both are about “good” people who do bad things and even though I am rooting for the serial...

Cash Cab

joshmohrer:Yesterday at 7pm on 20th street between 5th and 6th ave, my brother and I helped contestants in the Cash Cab correctly answer on of their questions. I forget the question exactly, but Daniel correctly answered “Stratosphere.” We’re going to be on TV! Hooray! Oh my god I’m so jelous! Cash cab is literally my favorite show. I hesitate everytime I get into a cab that is not a minivan...

I'm Lost!!

annamarie: Last night I watched with a sizable group of people. Here’s what I learned: Jeff Rubin would follow Locke, NOT Jack, if he were an Oceanic survivor David Cho is good to have around during Korean money exchange scenes. Jin paid about $180 for that second Panda! Kate Heffernan defends Kate Austin Sahid and Desmond have the same haircut Sarah wants Juliet dead as much as I do Rosie...

Results 1 - 10 of about 763,000 for nyc...

Three to five times a week I spend countless hours stessing over menupages.com and nymagazine.com trying to figure out where to go for dinner. With over 18,000 eating establishments in New York City proper, to say making a choice is difficult is a gross understatment. With the average cost of dinner from a Zagat rated restaurant being $39.43, a wrong decision is something that you could beat...
