If aliens were to come down to earth

And land next to this trash can, here's what they would learn about New Yorkers.



*McDonald's
*Parliament
*Coffee
*Losing scratch-off lottery tickets
*Broken umbrellas


Confidential to all alien readers - this one's free.
PS - any interest in taking Heidi & Spencer Pratt?

Special thanks to @BellaFoxx who found this study on the corner of Jackson Street and the Pulaski Bridge, Long Island City.

Wrong turn only

Reader @Jpstamm tells us she and her husband found this wounded soldier outside their hotel on Houston and Allen Streets (tear!), and right after snapping the shot a samaritan came along, picked it up and walked off.

Thanks for the shot!

J'adore!

We treated ourselves to our muse's fashion tome and are savoring each page with the left thumb while our other greedily scales the stack that awaits our discovery. Imagine our delight when this beauty revealed itself early on. One can only guess where Mr. Schuman will take us from here. Enjoy.

Isn't this a spot?
As they say: sunshine is fine,
But liquor, quicker.

So close

We have heard that in fine Cuban restaurants a glass of water is served to cleanse the palate. This is not the same.

Special thanks to first-timer and Facebook friend, Erin, who captured this corpse outside her "favorite Cuban joint" in the East Village. Welcome, Erin! WHAT? you're not a fan of Better Off Soaked yet?

Life less complicated

Or so someone thought.
