Some love it to the point of being freakishly cultish. Others don't see what the big deal is. But everyone can agree on one thing: you can do plenty of productive things with the time you spend waiting on line to get a burger at Shake Shack.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Everyone's in a tizzy this week about Puff & Pao, the new cream puff/Brazilian cheese bread place opening in the West Village, owned by a former lawyer (eh . . . all us foodies are former lawyers, big whoop). But we've also noticed another cream puff addition to the neighborhood -- Choux Factory, on 8th Street between 5th & 6th Avenues. Between those two and Beard Papa over on Astor, the Village might just be cream puff central. According to their website, another West Village Beard Papa is in the works over on Carmine Street. Thankfully, there are almost as many New York Sports Clubs in the neighborhood.

We've already told you about Beard Papa coming to Broadway near Astor Place in the near future, but we've got two more openings on the horizon. First, around the corner from the future Beard Papa, Cold Stone Creamery on Astor Place, in the former home of Astor Place Haircuts. Between the two of those, we'll be busy for a while, but there are days when Gothamist is looking for something slightly more healthy and less creamy than cream puffs and ice cream. For those times, there's a Juice It Up opening on Sixth Avenue just north of Tenth Street. We had never heard of this place before, but following the instructions on the sign below, we visited their website. This California-based chain serves smoothies, fresh squeezed juices and nectars, and organic coffee and tea. Welcome to the neighborhood, gang!

- Beard Papa cream puffs will come downtown

Beard Papa has a website in English! It explains much ("") and makes us hungry. And Gothamist on our visit to the Upper West Side Beard Papa location. More food on Gothamist Food and in our food archives.

And the week in full

Cream puff, thy smell and taste is divine.

And the week in full.

And Katy Sparks, whose Quilty's in SoHo is sorely missed, is now running the kitchen at Compass, the acclaimed restaurant (only after it dumped its Marika trapping) at 208 West 70th Street. Gothamist remembers reading that Sparks was going to go into catering as well as look into opening a new place, but she tells the Times deals fell through. And the big front room, that alternates as a bar or extra seating, will be a wine bar. Excellent!
