A week or so before
A week or so before we left for NYC, I wrote to Dara Moskowitz, the food critic at the local alternative weekly newspaper City Pages, for some ideas on where to eat while we were there. To my surprise, she wrote back with a nice list of fun places to go, some of which we tried, and some of which we didn't. Either way, it was really cool that she wrote back.
So today after lunch I picked up the current Pages and noticed in the table of contents that the weekly food column was titled A Visitor's Guide to the Eats of New York. Kick ass, I thought, she got a story idea from my note.
I page to the article and find that not only did she get the story idea from my note, but that my note leads off the article.
Behold the power of haiku.
Does all this mean I'm famous now? Uhhh, no. But seeing as I've never really had 'groupies' before, and this will probably be my last chance to, anyone interested in the job should feel free to send me a resume and a headshot.
Dara rocks.
