My PimpZilla kept me dreaming about BGIC so I followed a reader NOMination to Union Square for my first Bea Arthur – vanilla ice cream lined with Dulce de Leche and topped with a blanket of crushed ‘nilla wafers.

I spent my last Saturday at Photoville’s last Saturday @ Brooklyn Bridge Park and was met by equal parts Photo-aficionados, and StreetGrub-enthusiasts, making for a 100% happy camper. As I’ve said before, I’m a fauxtographer, but a combination of genuinely great ingredients and happy grubbers always makes my...
