Don't blame yourself. Gothamist was fooled too. We thought the fancy-schmancy food court at the Time Warner Center was going to be the second coming. But with Thomas Keller's Per Se going up in smoke in its first week, Frank Bruni's one-star spanking of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's V Steakhouse, and openings for Charlie Trotter and Gray Kunz still months away at best, things are looking glum on the upper floors of the Columbus Circle über-mall.

I was looking to get myself a set of those Iraq's most wanted playing cards that they are giving out to soldiers, and I had found a bunch of auctions on ebay for them with bidding going into the hundreds of dollars. Turns out you can buy them for $5.95 - they claim to be printed by the same company that printed them for the government, although these were not actually issued by the government (which if you read the fine print on the auctions on ebay, is basically the exact same thing). looks like its just a bunch of people buying decks for $5 and reselling them for $200.. quite an ebay scam...
