One williamsburger, please


This is a photo of the manhattan skyline, seen from the east river waterfront in williamsburg, brooklyn. Williamsburg is a neat little neighborhood known for its coffeshops, record and clothing stores, pretentiousness, tattooed moms, kids on bikes smoking parliaments and parliaments on kids smoking bikes, among a few other things. The book store pissed me off because it didn't carry faulkner (even though I've never read Faulkner before, every bookstore should have him, no?). Instead I bought Margaret Mead's famed ethnography, "Coming of Age in Samoa" for Max, the resident anthropolygamist. I mean polagist. It's a little unfortunate that Mead was later exposed as a fraud, but who the hell cares - she was sexy. But seriously, if you ever find yourself on bedford avenue (the main drag in w-burg) stop by "Endless Summer" for delicious tacos by the side of the road.
