Interpol Takes Us to Their Favorite Downtown Haunts.

bbook:

            

“Interpol lead singer and guitarist Paul Banks sits in a windowless lounge in the Soho headquarters of Matador Records, his face obscured by aviator sunglasses and the brim of a black fedora. He’s joined by his bandmates, guitarist Daniel Kessler and drummer Sam Fogarino, each dressed in somber tones that, were it not for their impeccable tailoring, would make them indistinguishable from the trendy young New Yorkers sitting around the office.” [read more]

We Tried It: $7 Two Course Lunch

The first day you join the Postabon team, not only do you get cool branded t-shirts and water bottles, but our whole office goes to lunch together.  In natural fashion, this lunch has to be a deal.  Here’s where we ate lunch on the cheap when our two new engineers, Jason and Bill, joined our team this week.

The Deal: Postabon memberwross informed us that Thai restaurant Peep in Soho offers a 2 course lunch special for just $7.  You get your choice of an appetizer, and then you can pick your entree.  

Is It Truly A Deal?: I ordered dumplings to start and a plate of pad thai.  If I came to Peep for dinner, this would have cost me $5 for dumplings, and $9 for pad thai, or $14 total.  By coming to lunch, I was able to get the same large portions for only $7, so 50% off.

Pros:  This deal is advertised right on the menu, so you don’t have to feel shady about asking for your free appetizer.  Usually when ordering from a lunch special, the options are limited, but Peep offers 10 appetizers to choose from and 15 entrees. In addition, this deal is available if you’d like to order Peep for delivery.

Cons:  Everything about this deal is perfect.  The only con is that the service could be improved.  

Overall:  If you work in Soho like us, you know the options for an affordable lunch are pretty slim.  Luckily, Peep’s lunch special is a bright spot in this neighborhood.  In fact, this two course meal is cheaper than our local salad spot!  We definitely recommend giving Peep a try.

Hey, what happened to the McNally Jackson bookstore bathroom? Does anyone else remember when it was nice (forest wallpaper! chirping birds sounds! lemon-verbena soap!), before the toilet syringe issue? Now it just looks like an extension of Mars bar.

McNally Jackson bookstore bathroom is the new Pioneer Chicken stand by Alvarado Street.

So sad that the Kitchen Club is being replaces with a Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

Nick Denton enjoying the World Cup Finals in 2006 on the streets of Little Italy. (check out the 2006 photo editing skills).
He looked absolutely delighted to be out there on Mulberry Street, surrounded by common folks at every angle. He seemed almost to be intoxicated by the presence of regular folks, and had a huge grin on his face. He derives his strength from the pleebs.
Soon though, the novelty wore off, and he became bored with it all. Moments after this photo was taken, he left the crown, retiring back to his loft on Spring Street where he finished the mint julep he left on a coaster, atop his stainless steel counter prior to leaving.
