Yup, I was just at Comic-Con San Diego and there's a Dunkin by/in the Embassy Suites. I'm a New Yorker and was working the show — I NEEED my big cup of Dunkin in the morning, especially when facing the angry horde of nerds. I made a few other con workers's days when I showed up with my Dunkin cup, they all

Three friends with similar coloring stopped by our booth in OB cosplay. They weren't perfect matches but they were the only OBs I saw and it was pretty fun.

Ahhh! Late, but thanks for this! I'm about to descend into the hell that is San Diego Comic Con week for work and I knew there was one of these about to open up right after last year's SDCC near our usual hotel, but could not for the life of me remember the name. I will be making the 1 mile trek to eat here for lunch

I agree with the snarky remark in the VF piece that perhaps it was revenge because his wife Claire Messud's novel of earlier last year, The Woman Upstairs, didn't fly off of the shelves. I really liked The Last Life and The Emperor's Children but the premise of The Woman Upstairs left me ambivalent and I never picked

Growing up in a dry climate we kept our bread in the breadbox. Moved back East and it took me a while to figure out that it was the humidity causing my bread to go moldy after two days, and then I started keeping it in the fridge. And then when I started living alone I kept it in the freezer and took out one slice at

I hate my bottom freezer so so much. (Came with the apartment, we obviously can't afford to replace it). It's basically a big drawer full of crap piled on top of other crap (ie things like half-used bags of frozen corn, and individual breakfast sandwiches because there's noplace to store a square box.) I waste so

The far right '70s dress looks almost exactly like the one my mother made for herself in 1972. It had bracelet-length sleeves but otherwise basically the same. I wore it to play Juliet for an English class project in 9th grade.

My sister in law is allergic to everything on the planet, and one of her bad allergies is certain types of mold. She can't eat celery (apparently celery is the moldiest of veggies). I can imagine melons that sit on the ground could have microscopic mold spores on them too...

I once heard my two kitties wrassling in the living room. (I was lying in bed reading) A few minutes later, I looked down and saw the Big One sitting at the side of the bed, staring up at me. A large tuft of her sister's gray fur was sticking out of the side of her mouth. Diabolical!

I just have to share something hilarious I was told over this past weekend. I had just had my eyebrows down and my mom's hairdresser complimented me on them. I casually complained about how I work so hard at maintaining my brows but one of them always looks off. It can be one or the other but on any given day I hate

Yeah, I was there. The room exploded. I couldn't even hear the the "get your shit together" line. It was definitely a joke. There was a good amount of laughing-to-crying during this, for me.

Lifesavers! I think you can still get those — pretty sure I've seen them at the Duane Reade. I almost never eat candy (I have a salt tooth, not a sweet tooth), but I could suck down a roll of those jelly Lifesavers in about 7 seconds.

I didn't like the Black at all but the White is lovely —I'm trying to find a special scent to wear on my wedding day (so that every time I smell it after that, I will remember the day). I'm strongly leaning toward the Nirvana White, got a rollerball to test it out.

Our building is full of musicians, and some of the recent grads at my work who 15 years ago would have moved to Williamsburg or Prospect Heights to find cheap rent have found rentals near us. I used to live in Windsor Terrace and rents up there are definitely skyrocketing but down near us the gentrification is still

How about Babb? (My dad spent a night in the Babb jail when he was 16 after getting nailed for underage drinking)

This comment is the most Brooklyn thing that has ever happened on the Internet.

Dude. I live in Kensington and was standing in line in Duane Reade 2 days ago behind a beardy dad-type dude who was full on Nerding because they were shooting "Girls" up the street. He kept telling the Pharmacist "I just saw Lena Dunham!"

The taste is almost identical to ramps and they look similar too. Which reminds me that I once had a pickled ramp dirty martini (I love sour/pickled/vinegary stuff, as well as savory cocktails) and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. I need to go get me one of those this weekend.

He's bulking up to play this guy. (Chris Kyle, Navy SEAL)

Never in a million would have thought to comment that Mary Kate & Ashley were my favorite... but they were, so there you go. They killed it.
