NY NY

I figured it would be interesting to be in New York on 9/11, and it was. Basically the city is back to normal, except for the area right around Ground Zero. They read the names of the victims, there was singing outside the church, and there were people aggressively handing out conspiracy theory literature. There was a great article on the front page of today's NY Times, available here.

Meanwhile, 9/11/2009 will live in infamy because Derek Jeter apparently did something important! Woo hoo! (There's something about Yankees records that's not all that exciting to me.)

I'm lovin New York this time around. Before I'd just been in Manhattan and Queens, and usually under some sort of time crunch. Lounging around, going to some conference events (I'm at Lavender Law with friends from school.) The subway and the people watching are great -- and so's the fact that I can get big meals from trucks for 3 bucks.

Hi,

I'm working with a start-up for food bloggers in Washington called Tabelog (www.tabelog.us). They're a subsidiary of the largest company in Japan, Tabelog.com (similar to Yelp here in the US).
We’re bringing their annual restaurant awards to the US that are judged solely by a panel of local food bloggers (all online). The winning restaurants get a framed 2015 award and the food bloggers get an 'official judge' icons and related PR for their blog. We’re looking for bloggers from Washington to invite as an official judge. Is this something that you would be interested in? My contact email is awards_washington@tabelog.us.
Thanks in advance!
Brock
