What is This World Coming To $5 Coffee ?

$5 for a SMALL COFFEE

"WHAT The FUCK" ?

MARLON BRANDO

"DRINKING COFFEE"

Me TOO !!!

MINE COST $5 !!!

WHAT DID MARLON'S COST

.20 CENTS or LESS ? FOR SURE

This PICTURE LOOKS Like it Was TAKEN in the 1960s

Back Then - COFFEE was Just .10 CENTS a CUP

FIVE DOLLAR FUCKING COFFEE !!!

"WHAT is This WORLD COMING TO" ?

$5 for a Fucking cup of Coffee? You gotta be Kidding? "No"!!! That's the price. At Carmela's Toast & Coffee Bar on 8th Street in New York's Greenwich Village. "Outrageous" !!!! Normally I pay more. But that's at a beautiful boutique hotel, and it's for a cappuccino. Over there, I'm paying for the privilege of being inside a beautiful boutique hotel in New York. Carmela's is just a coffee cafe, non descriptive. It's not bad. I'm not knocking the looks of the place, but it is low-end, not high like the hotel. This coffee should be $2.90, not $4.90 !!! More than five dollars with the tip for the counter-person. "Outrageous" !!!! Three years ago, this was the price ($2.90). And that was fair. But $5 just a couple years later? A total "Rip-Off" !!!! What is this World coming to? I't just not right. Everything is "Out of Whack" !!! Everything : gasoline, groceries, coffee, everything ! And there's nothing we can do but pay. "Pay the Damn Piper" !!! We have no say in the matter. That's the way it is. But it's not right.

I have at least 10 -12 coffee out a week. Meaning in a cafe, coffee shop, or at the boutique hotel. So when a small coffee goes from $2.90 to $5 in to short an amount of time, it pisses me off. It pisses a lot of people off. "It's just not right" !!! What am I gonna do? I guess I have no choice? I write, and I write in cafes, and I have to buy coffees. I gotta pay. Pay The Piper. I have to pay, but I don't have to like it, and I don't. "Fuck this Shit" !!!

BASTA !!!!

LED ZEPPELIN "RAMBLE ON" and Why Is Nobody Making Any GOOD MUSIC These DAYS???

Ramble On, Song of the Week!!! Without-A-Doubt one of Rocks All-Time Rockingest Rock Songs Ever, "Ramble On." This song Rocks like you can't believe! back in the Day when there was an abundance of Great Music being made by Hundreds of Great Artists, The 60's and 70's !!! Can someone tell us why there is "Barely Any Good Music" being made at all these Days!!! Just a bunch of a lot of Crap! Probably because the younger generation has such awful taste? Or is it just an Abundance of Lackluster Performers, or a Combination of both? I doubt seriously if there will be more than a handful of Musical Artist from the last 15 years or so who will Stand The Test of Time and be Loved 40, 50, 60, and 70 years down the road as artist like, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, led Zepplin, Elvis, Dianna Ross, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Stevie Wonder and on and on are doing and will do. The music of this Day and Age is quite literally Crap.

Someone please Kill Hip Hop the way you Killed Disco (which is Superior Music to Hip Hop Rap) so long ago. How much more of this Shit do we have to endure! Are there any Good Musical Artists out there at all? Please step forward and do your thing!!!

CORNER BISTRO Voted # 1 and New Yorks "BEST CHEESEBURGER"

Happy to see Corner Bistro's Burger can still make it to # 1 Best of New York list these days. I've been eating Cheeseburgers there since 1984. Yes 26 Years of Bistro Burgers. Back then, the Burger at the Corner Bistro was for Year-After-Year thee perennial favorite, # 1, Top, Best Burger in New York, rated by the Top and most Powerful food Authorities of the day, New York Magazine, The NY Times, Cue Magazine, The Post, The Village Voice, GQ, Bob Lape on 7's Eyewitness News, The Daily News, so on and so forth. Nine out of ten people, newspapers, and news agency's, The Bistro Burger was always "Tops," # 1. It no longer is. And it was tops for some 30 years. Quite a run. Sadly the quality of the Burger has gone down a bit, and there are numerous chemistry better, tastier Burgers in town. Shake Shack get my Vote for the Top, New York's best Burger, with Bills Bar and Burger and Peter Luger not far behind. But the Shake Shack Burger has all the proper elements that come together and make for perfect chemistry of, dear I say, "The Perfect Burger." Well if not the perfect Burger, New York's Best, or at least amongst the Best, everyone has their opinion. Some not as qualified as others. As I've been eating the East Coast's Best Burgers since childhood, and being a former Chef Culinary Professional, I have greater qualifications than most.
The Shake Shack Burgers elements that make it so good, are: Top Quality Beef, Just the right size and thickness, not too thin nor too thick, which unfortunately many think makes a burger is better, the thicker it is. Not so. A 6 oz., 3/4" Burger is Best and it has to be cooked on a Flat-Top Grill cooking in its own fat to qualify amongst the best. Cooking on a grated grill, just won't do. You'll often get terribly overcooked hard spots, losing all important beef fat for the burger to cook in. You'll need a good hamburger bun, toasted preferred, not too fancy, and a major No-No is the use of an English Muffin. Though i Love them for breakfast, English Muffins are a terrible choice, pairing to a Burger. the Burger has to be properly cooked
And one of thee most important rules to a great Burger, it can't cost more than $6.50, and about $4.50 is even better. The Shake Shake burger meets all these requirements, even exceeding them.
Back to the Bistro Burger. For nostalgias sake and Price to value ratio, combined with the great old New York Bar ambiance, The Bistro Burger always makes it on my Top 10 List. As the Post states, to be able to get a great burger for just $6.50 with Beers at $2.75 in one of New York's few remaining Bohemian Bars, and in Greenwich Village? A combination that just can't be beat.

"The SCENE" in The Lobby of The ACE HOTEL, New York

Yes, Makin the Scene at the Ace Hotel. Got my Coffee, "Stumptown" of Course, my Laptop, iPod Tkouch with Camera, my Cel, money in my pockets, I'm all set.
The "Scene" in the Lobby of The Ace Hotel, New York, 29th Street between Broadway and 5th Avenue. Great Lobby, the equivalent of the Alogonquin Hotel Lobby when it was front and center, New York's Literary Hotel in the days of Dolly Parker and days of yor.
Yes the "SCENE" in the Lobby of the Ace Hotel. It Rocks. Supposedly this is thee Rock-N-Roll Hotel, Home Base, Seattle.
This place is filled everyday, from Dawn to Dusk, with Writers, wound be writers, Screen Writers, Playrights, Web and Mobile Delepoers, tourists, and dear I say "Rock Stars." Don't know. All I can say is I've delt with quite a few Rock Stars in my days as Maitre'd Manager at the Once "Hottest Celebrity Spot in Town," Da Silvano's.... Yes it was, until Graydon Carter (who Frequented Da Silvano 5 or 6 Times a week) opened the
"Waverly Inn" and stole a Most of Silvan's immense Celebrity Crowd. Everyone went there: Movie Stars, Rock Stars, the Fashion Set (Designers & Models), the Movers and Shakers in Publishing, the Magazine Business, and on and on!
David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, Gwyneth Palthrow, Calvin Klein, Uma Thurma,and Richard Gere, to name just a few. Everyone went there.
