I actually disagree about Katz's Deli. It is delicious, but it seems like a horrible place to eat alone. It's crowded, loud and impersonal. And I don't think they serve booze? That being said, I don't really have any suggestions for you. I go to a different place every time that I am in city. I am more of a "let me walk around until I see something that interests me" type girl. Sometimes I use Yelp- less for the reviews themselves, and more to see the options nearby and pictures of the inside. I've never done brunch and I don't think I've had Pho in the city either- at least not any time recently.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Yeah I can't help you out too much. I don't really remember ever dining solo in NYC. Jersey kid. But I really don't think you'll have too much trouble! So many options. I just googled and found this article in the village voice for you:
"She asked how old I was again and when I stated 27 not 25 she noted that she’d lied too: she was early 40s not mid 30s. I’d only shaved a couple years but she’d backed herself into to a brand new decade. I considered this change an upgrade."
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

My first rotation show for KCOU (the student radio station at Missouri) is next Thursday from 10 AM - 11 AM CDT.
So if you wanna get through your late Thursday mornings by listening to one of your fellow Inforooers be a DJ, that starts next Thursday. YAY! The station's website is kcou.fm, and I should be on either one of the streams. (I'm also on every Tuesday at 5:15 PM CDT as a sports guy, so there's that; I do a lot with college radio).
Now I have to figure out which song I'm going to play first. I put a ton of personal stock in to my very first song for some reason. It seems like my first song should be sort of an introduction to not only the show, but me as an individual so people know what they're getting when they tune in, insomuch as I can make a mid-morning rotation show my own.
I've already started thinking about it. I'm leaning towards some songs more than others, but there can only be one....eye. I want to go for a song that has a great intro, or one that could fit at the beginning of something.

I don't think I've ever listened to a Will Smith song.
How is that even possible?
Well the majority of it came out before I was born. I've probably heard a few songs in passing and didn't realize it was Will maybe? Honestly I don't know I didn't know he was that popular of a rapper.

These are my awesome friends from my old job at Carnegie Science center launching a weather balloon with an HD camera attached 18 miles above PNC park. Theres some pretty awesome visuals. Fun fact: The balloon expanded from 6ft to the size of a school bus (36 feet) before the low pressure caused it to burst
The Pittsburgh Pirates, with help from the Carnegie Science Center and Stratostar, launched a mini-version of the team's mascot to the edge of space Sunday afternoon. You can watch the journey for yourself in the video above. The parrot doll and Pirates flag were attached a high-altitude, helium-filled weather balloon. Also on board were special HD cameras and sensors to measure temperature, altitude, speed and spin rate. The mission also sent back real-time data about the stratosphere, the ozone and solar radiation. This Stratostar launch is in preparation for an aerospace show, currently in the early stages of development, for the Science Center’s outreach program, Science on the Road. The balloon rose to 96,000 feet, about three times higher than most commercial airplanes fly, before the low pressure caused the balloon to expand and pop. A parachute guided the payload back to Earth, where it was recovered from a tree in Cranberry Township. The flag, the electronics and the Parrot all survived intact. It gives a whole new meaning to "Raise the Jolly Roger."

It'll just be a standard rotation show. Quite a bit of newer material, but some older stuff is in there as well. There's no real set "vibe" to it, but I wanted to make this first song special.
I do love the idea of ending it with NYILY, although that feels like a song better suited for my last rotation show at the end of the semester. I was actually thinking of ending this first one with OBH or A Certain Romance.
Come to think of it I could do NYILY and do a talk break before hand about how I sort of relate to Chicago/the suburbs, and begin with a talk break about how OBH is how I viewed college, especially the lines about escaping.
I just realized that I haven't looked in this thread since Sept 24th....
This is the first thread I check each day unless a new interesting thread or an old favorite had been bumped recently and catches my eye first.The only time when I am behind on Random Thoughts is when I don't check into Inforoo at all!

"At my utopian film academy I would have students do athletic things with real physical contact, like boxing, something that would teach them to be unafraid. I would have a loft with a lot of space where in one corner there would be a boxing ring. Students would train every evening from 8 to 10 with a boxing instructor: sparring, somersaults (backwards and forwards), juggling, magic card tricks." - Werner Herzog
Apparently I've been watching the wrong boxing matches.
