If you are as big a fan of reality shows as we are, Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Sunday, 8:00 p.m., WNYW 5) is very welcome. Thanks to the WGA strike, there will be only eight episodes, but still this looks like an action packed romp based on the popular film series. Despite being based on the space time continuum bending robot filled movies, this has an all new cast with Lena Headley and......

This week in the Times, Bruni one-stars Sam Mason’s Tailor. Loves the design of the place, and—along with everyone else—the pork belly, the arctic char and the drinks. Overall? “[Mason’s] infatuation with his own imagination doesn’t leave room enough for a self-appraisal of the results… a duck-and-eel terrine in a chocolate consommé tastes like cat food splashed with Yoo-hoo.” Hee. In Dining Briefs, Bruni goes to Toloache. Calls the upscale Mexican restaurant a “welcome addition”......

The Post has another article about Patrick Moberg and his flower-girl Camille Hayton today. What's new to report on the two-some since they are apparently, really, for real, turning off their spotlight now? Well, not much. The two shared the B train to Brooklyn after appearing on GMA yesterday and got some underground recognition (one straphanger hollered, "You are my favorite story this year."). Beating out an awww-struck ABC anchor Chris Cuomo as their most......

After making a big, illustrated statement on his website yesterday about not speaking another word about his underground love, too precious for the press -- Patrick Moberg talked to the New York Post. People read that newspaper Patrick! And word is the Blackbook employee who found her is going to be on Good Morning America tomorrow. Could Patraussie be next up to hit the small screen? (UPDATE: both are confirmed to be on GMA tomorrow!)......

Well, that didn't take very long. Turns out New York's Subway Cyrano, Patrick Moberg, has found his lady love. Or rather, Blackbook outed her as one of their very own interns. Patrick apparently got a tip from a friend of hers prior to that, and updated his website with a big 'ol "FOUND HER!" illustration. A little about the girl: she's an Aussie, her apartment burned down a few days ago, and she's currently on......

Heathe St. Claire, Aussie chef-owner of Avenue C's Sunburnt Cow, has long had his mind set on bringing a little of his home town to the East Village. Already known for their unlimited $15 brunches, their "moo juice," live showings of rugby games, and bangers and mash, St. Claire has recently added three-course, $16 nightly "counter meals," live music, an an extended happy hour to the restaurant's repertoire. The Counter Meal, a waitress explained......

Kingswood: Aussie owner of Nolita's Ruby's takes the leap from sandwich shop to sit-down restaurant. With the feel of an indoor garden, Kingswood serves up dishes like cured duck breast with fig chutney, a roasted peach salad with crispy prosciutto and white balsamic or a rack of lamb with tomato orzo. In late October, the space will expand to include a downstairs lounge. 121 West 10th Street between Greenwich and Sixth Avenues. (212) 645-0044. The......

What’s worth watching, food-wise, on TV this week? Be warned: it’s the dog days of summer, so there’s not much new on the air… Tonight on No Reservations (10pm on the Travel Channel), Bourdain goes to Cleveland, Ohio, where Michael Ruhlman shows him around town. Serious Eats recaps last week’s ep (visit to French Polynesia), shares the recipe for poisson cru. Top Chef is a repeat this week. It’s the “All-Star” episode where top competitors......

Looking for the country's best barbecue? Look no further than your own backyard. The Business Journal ranked New York City the nation's top destination spot for barbecue. Memphis is number 10. Ouch. Ever since Mario Batali blasted food bloggers on Eater, the food blog community has been up in arms, as one might imagine. Off the Broiler and Blogsoop are the latest to chime in. NYC Nosh visits Eight Mile Creek to try to shed......

THEATER: A revival of Patrick Hamilton’s thriller Gaslight has just begun at Irish Rep; some may remember the award-winning 1944 film version starring Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury. The chilling study in domestic domination to the max concerns a diabolical husband who, not satisfied in exploiting his wife’s savings to buy their house, plots her murder. But while he’s out the police inspector comes in to warn the poor bride that her husband is suspected......

Sandwiched between Park Slope and Gowanus, along 4th Avenue, the Sheep Station bills itself as an Australian restaurant even if the bar seems to get the most attention. It has none of the kitschy video games, dated beer posters, or anything really that might muck up its design. It’s all straight lines and clean surfaces, and in that respect feels a little like Gothamist favorite Bocco Lupo in Cobble Hill. Like that enticing wine bar,......

Today in New York anchorman, Rob Morrison, has gone and turned in to a music blogger overnight. In one of his latest posts he declares that Wolfmother does in fact rock. "Attention brothers and sisters of Rock. If you, like me, feel as if you are drowning in a sea of sensitivity; awash in the moody minor-chords of bands like Coldplay, The Fray and that guy who jumped off a cliff because he saw a......

Named for the fish & chips shops found just beside Bondi Beach in Australia, the Lower East Side's six month old Bondi Road assures you don't have to travel all the way around the world for flaky fried fish and real Aussie chips. Heathe St. Clair, also owner of the Australian hangout on Avenue C, The Sunburnt Cow, has brought surfer chic to a neighborhood hungry for fresh fish, a comfortable atmosphere, and a......

Bruni joins the chorus of unenthusiastic reviews for Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, awarding it no stars. The best he has to say is that chef/owner Tim Love "seems dedicated to getting first-rate cuts of meat" (which the kitchen then overseasons). The Eater boys are off by a star, having put their money on Tim Love's credentials and the assumption that Bruni's visits would improve over time. They didn't. Also at Eater, photos of the dining......

Imagine this bit of sci-fi: A mad scientist decides to put his dinner, a chicken pot pie and a slice of meatloaf, in a teleportation device. The experiment goes awry of course, and what comes out is a melding of these two stalwarts of American comfort food. Behold the meat pie. In fact, the meat pie is not a Frankenstein amalgamation, but a favorite snack from Australia. It's the specialty of Tuck Shop, the Aussie......

"I love this dirty town." Oh, Page Six. Gothamist can't imagine why, but it seems like some people really just plain don't like Rupe Murdoch's gossip hounds. We mean, Nobody was surprised yesterday when the Daily News broke the Page Six payola scandal all over its front page. But crazy, either it was an incredibly slow news day yesterday, or the Times gave a very generous gift to Six Editor Richard Johnson on his......

Gothamist's favorite drunk columnist, the New York Post's Steve Dunleavy, was pickpocketed last night. According to Newsday, he admitted being "very drunk... .comatose." Ah, just the way we like that bombastic Aussie. Dunleavy claims he "kicked the guy in the ass" but it was the police who later arrested the men. A great Frank DiGiacomo piece about tabloid journalism and Steve Dunleavy. Gothamist now knows that when we're done blogging in the middle of the......

I always look to the grizzled, drunkard Aussie STEVE DUNLEAVY when I need a dose of real inflammatory editorial: "I know some veterans who would say that if the French are in training, they are training to throw up their arms in surrender." Of course, in this case, I happen to agree with him.......
