Luis keeps asking so I'm going to put it where he can always find it.
My favorite BBQ place (which will get it's own entry in the near future) is:
Fette Sau
354 Metropolitan, Brooklyn NY
Take the L-Train to the Bedford stop and walk. Sorry Luis you have to do the directions yourself.
They have good food, great atmosphere, and a fabulous bourbon selection.
My favorite two shoe stores in Manhattan are:
Forecast Footwear
510 Broadway, New York, NY
I always seem to come out of there with a great pair of shoes.

Fluevog has the curious distinction of being the only shoe designer I actually have two colors in the exact same shoe for. They are comfy and they look great and chicks dig em.
