Buying Eyeballs at Party City



So my daughter and I are in Party City buying party supplies, filling our basket with plates, cups and tablecloths decorated with big bloodshot eyeballs.  We get on line at the cashier and the lady behind me very nicely asks me if we're having a Halloween party.   I answer truthfully, "no, acutally it's for my daughter's sweet 16 party." 
Well, the lady's jaw dropped and just about hit the floor and she was left totally speechless.  It was almost worth the price.

The Best Thing About the San Gennaro Festival.



The best thing about the San Gennaro Festival is biking up a deserted Mullberry Street at 8 a.m. this morning. No cars, just a few pedestrians and a delivery truck or two. From there, the bike lane up Lafayette took me up to 14th Street, where the bike lane ends and you're thrown onto Union Sqare East with no room between you and the cabbies. OK, they may look prettier with their floral hoods, but they're still just as wreckless.
Also, I read today that the NY Post is planning a Page 6 magazine. OK, so does it just have page 6? Then isn't that really page 1? Will all the pages be page 6? And if so, what good will the table of contents be? I'm so confused.
