DRINK: The raucous and ribald cabaret duo Kiki & Herb may be on semi-hiatus, but they’re resurfacing tonight for a very special ‘Eclectic Salon’ event at Bottlerocket, the “dog and child friendly” wine shop in the Flatiron district. It's not exactly clear what kind of performance is planned tonight, but the boozy surroundings are sure to provide ample inspiration. Playfully dubbed “The Year of Magical Drinking,” the evening features free wine tastings to wash......

Gothamist has a thing for cook-offs. There’s something about the sincerity of it all—just a bunch of honest folk sharing their love for chili, casseroles or, in the case of Sunday’s event, winter squash. This weekend’s Great Squash Cook-Off drew twenty amateur cooks to Park Slope’s V-Spot restaurant to compete before a panel of local food authorities (among them KalaLea of organic café and wine bar Smooch, Vikas Khanna of Tamarind and Isa Chandra......

Last week, the Jets warmed up for their road game against the Vikings by showing up on Sesame Street. Head Coach Eric Mangini has a son who loves the show. Chad Pennington, Laveranues Coles and, most interestlingly, Australian punter Ben Graham all shared the Queens sound stage with Elmo. The Jets make their only Monday Night Football appearance -- and will probably get higher ratings than the Seasame Street episode -- when they face the......

Well, stick a fork in Monday Night Football, because just about the only thing you might recognize next season is the theme song and maybe Hank Williams, Jr. Only a few short days after Al Michaels called Superbowl XL, ABC and Michaels have parted ways. Michaels has been with Monday Night Football on ABC since 1986 and was reportedly reluctant to move to ESPN's MNF coverage after most of the MNF team decided to move......

So far we've found nothing funny about the month of January, hopefully things will change starting this week. Check out our comedy picks: When something is called Bar Mitzvah Disco (the Variety Show) you just have to go. The BMD is brought to you by the one and only Movable Hype 6.0 host Nick Kroll, who may or may not be going by the name of Enrique Goldfarb - Northern New Jersey's #3 name in......

Dominated every which way it seemed, the Jets managed to make a 31-21 loss to New England look a bit closer after two late TD receptions by Laveranues Coles, but it was clear that Monday night's broadcast was interesting for one reason only – it was the final Monday Night Football on network television. Think about that - no longer will Monday night games be able to reach every TV set in America. Sports fans......

When the Jets host defending Super Bowl champion New England tonight, it will be the final Monday Night Football game as we know it – ABC will move the longest running show in prime time over to ESPN at the start of the 2006 season as NBC's Sunday night package becomes the league's new showcase, with an contractual ability to move choice games from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night on short notice. As expected, Wayne......

Sure, Jets fans collectively feel the need to “Just End The Season”, but at least the team keeps showing up. Maybe all the excuses are legit. Maybe they’re not that bad after all. At least not as bad as other 3-11 teams are. Maybe they are just true professionals with a particularly loving huggable coach. Well, they certainly get paid enough to be. Regardless, they lost again Sunday, 24-20 at the hands of the Dolphins......

It will be a surreal scene at Giants Stadium Monday Night. Because of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints were unable to play in the Superdome and the NFL decided to move the Saints “home” opener to New Jersey. So, you will see the Saints logo in the end zones and the Giants wearing their road uniforms while playing at Giants Stadium in a game that will start at 7:30pm on a......

The Yankees beat Tampa Bay 6-2 Monday Night, but that was only a prelude to the real story; the complete shake up of the current team. Reliever, Steve Karsay, was designated for assignment and Bernie Williams has been made a designated hitter because of a sore elbow. Second baseman, Tony Womack will now be the new leftfielder with Hideki Matsui taking over in center and rookie, Robinson Cano, will now start at second. Last, but......

Yesterday, Marv Albert and Cablevision parted ways, ending his affiliation with the New York Knicks and Madison Square Garden, both owned by Cablevision. In the process of negotiating a new contract, the two sides seemed to disagree over the value of Albert's contract and over his criticism of the Knicks. The Post reported that management was fed up with Albert's criticism and Albert was fed up with the complaints, while The Times reports that Albert......
