aaah, fat hairy guy in a speedo. just what i was looking for...

The "dive bar" in that article is in the East Village. Reading is fundamental, or so I've heard.

A) Livery cabs seems to be pure evil in black towncar packaging.

B) The article says Superdive is in the E.Village

C) The description of Superdive made me throw up a little in my mouth.

hey look, a fat guy sitting on a garbage can. let's all laugh at him. way to go, "photographer"!

if you're going to take such a cheap shot, at least have the balls to do it head-on... not behind his back followed undoubtedly by scurrying away.

I don't necessarily think its a cheap shot. I get a strange sense of zen looking at that picture, like deep though sorta zen that only a rotund man in lycra give someone.

It would have been better though if the picture was head on, I'll agree to that.
