"$2 beers? Who ever heard of such things?!" = glass of McSorley's Ale at Corner Bistro...at least the last time I was there, which was forever ago since it's been invaded by the UES frat crowd.

"I think this article was trying to get younger readers to read The City section." I agree, which is why I called it "pandering". A nice break for a band certainly, but the breathless tone maks it seem like the article was written by his girlfriend. And I didn't like that even though they made reference to the fact that plenty of people have day jobs so they can pursue what they love outside of that, they make him seem like he's come up with all these original ideas. Pasta and a jar of sauce? $2 beers? Who ever heard of such things?!

I think this article was trying to get younger readers to read The City section. If this were in the Style section, you'd probably be more forgiving, lazycomet. As I like these kinds of stories, I was interested and it's a nice break for a band.

that article was one of the most useless, poorly written pieces of drivel i've ever seen. to say it was pointless, pandering and cliched would be an understatement. just a terrible waste of column inches (and 12 color photos? what for?).
