This is a trick of some sort. When I figure out what type, I'll actually reply. Until then, I shan't.

No trick... I bought you all a pack of "fun" "size" Butterfingers and some twin-packs of Drakes Coffee Cakes, but I ate them - I apologise.

I'll ask the obvious question:
How great was your trip to New York, using only numbers that are the power of a prime.

I spent a small fortune - here are some of the highlights, and a couple of lowlights (not serious ones)
- Breakfast at the Empire Diner on 10th Avenue - always make the mistake on the first day of going here when I'm suffering from jet lag (ie fell to sleep at 1900, woke up at 0400) - not that the food isn't great, I just forget that the breakfasts are far more than I'm used to.
- Drinks at Andalucia tapas bar on 9th Avenue - great cheap cocktails, greasy but filling food, 30,000 song jukebox, and HAWT! Columbian barmaid
- Snack at White Castle and Papaya Dog - Never going to say that the Slider is a delight, but it's an experience. Papaya juice and a hotdog, however... heaven.
- Didn't make it to Katz', unfortunately, as Emma isn't overkeen on their food - however, had a couple of great reubens from the Olympic Diner at 48 and 8th - nice egg cream too, better than I can make, that's for sure.
- Seeing the Bird and the Bee at the Bowery Ballroom - they were stellar, but I left before Sia came on, as she ruined their last song with her clowning and pissed me off
- The Comedy Cellar - I'm 50:50 on US standup - it can be hilarious, but there is a bit too much 'blue' material (not that there's anything wrong with it per se, but it shouldn't be all there is) and shouting, and sorry if people disagree, but Dave Attell ain't funny.
- Great dive bars - we just can't do them in the UK, we just have crappy threatening pubs instead - the Holland Bar is classic.
- Too much damned shopping - Emma was on a footwear and makeup mission, which made us go to one makeup shop 4 (!) times.
- Fast Food Nation is the suxxors

I went to The Comedy Cellar. I had a great time, especially since it was a slow night customer wise, so they let me stay for two shows while only charge me one cover charge. I had fun, but no Dave Attell in sight.

I have a soft spot in my heart (probably due to the cholesterol) for Gray's Papaya though. I usually go for the Orange Drink or Pineapple Juice instead though. Can't beat 50 cent hot dogs. *Edit* Of course that's how much they were when I was last there 2 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the price had gone up since then.
