Is New York the intellectual and cultural hub of the planet, or is it just where you come when you want to be called a bitch and have a cat thrown in your face? Last night, How I Met Your Mother explored the positives and negatives of NYC and NJ.

Have you noticed any Britney Spears stickers on the subway or sidewalk recently? The simple black & white design is littering the city, and it's not part of Brit's plan to gain some street cred.

Oxford Collapse make music that sounds made to play over a montage at the end of a weekly Primetime Drama. A cool one, though. Like How I Met Your Mother or The first season of the OC. It's not sappy or overintellectualized, but pleasantly upbeat and refreshing. The vocals are a bit rough and hysteric, not unlike the Walkmen or Modest Mouse and everyone, but the contrast with the sunny, hopeful music backing them up is what makes it work.

Having enjoyed the first season, we've been watching How I Met Your Mother again this season. Tonight is the third episode so far, and we're hoping Marhsall and Lily get back together already so the show can go back to being what it was last year. It's pretty much the only good representation of 20-something's in NYC on television. But really, we just love the Barney scenes, it's really his show (check out his blog here).

With the vice president shooting people in the face and everyone still getting over their chocolate hang over from Valentine's Day, this week it's hard not to feel a general malaise and slight discomfort about the new releases line up. However as always, New York's repertory film scene comes through in the clinch keeping Gothamist inspired when it comes to movie viewing.

As you may or may not know, we love the show How I Met Your Mother (one character even has a blog - not an entirely new idea, but we like it). Last week two of the characters on the show went to a lazer tag park and declared that the game was totally making a comeback within 2 months. So we wanted to get prepared, because we actually think lazer tag could be fun!

Somebody got a case of the Mondays? Yeah, we just said that. Luckily there is plenty going on tonight to provide a happy transition in to Tuesday...
