where to [find] head in New York.

[david s]

yeah definite props to Dos Toros Taqueria...

that place is awesome

think I mentioned on the food post before... but always worth mentioning again El Maguey y La Tuna

Other question : anyone have a good recommendation on a cobbler/shoe repair place, got a couple of pairs of carpes that need some TLC, used to go to Cowboy Shoe Repair on Prince, but it looks like it was closed, permanently, when I was down there last weekend

thx -d

I got o Mina's Shoe Repair on Wall St. Excellent, old-school service and cheap.

El Maguey blows! Tastes like Deli mexican food
Good Authentic mexican food in NYc is almost absent, The new mexican on the other hand tons of great places El Portal anyone?

Cowboy has not closed just moved to Grand a few blocks down, Firm on 17th street is the Cobbler Du jour !

castros in brooklyn has some of the best burritos that i've had in nyc

minas was such a cunt to me when i questioned his work last time they rubber heeled my new julius combats. they colored polished the beautiful stacked heel to match the rubber. i asked why they did this and he chewed me out. then his daughter came out apologizing and tried to fix the problem.

never going there again...

[Faust]

which one did you go to? i go to the one on exchange place, not on wall st. never had a problem.

[endersgame]

there's more than one? i went to the one on wall st. been there before no problems except that last time.

i just go to the firm and pay their premium. alex knows exactly what i want done and we talk about who's the hot babe that owns which pair of shoes on the done shelf..

gfs bday coming up --- birthday cakes in brooklyn? or the city

[laughed]

anyone ever consider living in jersey city or anywhere else in new jersey to save some cash and just commute to the city?

[Faust]

why not just hang yourself

[endersgame]

i won't judge anyone who can't afford $2k+ rent but living in jersey and working in ny has some tax benefits from what i hear. what exactly i don't know, but you should ask your accountant..

if jersey doesn't work out, i was going to suggest the west coast, but you just came from there..

[Fade to Black]

LOL...I know it was not intentional, but after reading your post I got the impression you were trying to "suggest living in the west coast, commuting to ny for work"...ahhh thanks for that inner chuckle.

[endersgame]

yeah, maybe if laughed was a flight attendant..

i knew a guy who was commuting on amtrak from DC to New York for a job. that's just crazy...with tax benefits?

[Faust]

Some big wigs fly in from Boston daily. Also seen people commute from Philly. Americans are nuts.

[Faust]

Does anyone know of any local scarf makers? What about sunglasses? Making a gift list for Vogue Russia of all awesome things NYC, and blanking out on that one... zzzzz...
