the latest nymag just dropped and just in time for dF's excursion back to nyc. flakez is already there while i get into the city on tuesday, followed by ben/nick on weds (of course, our party with reason and diamond is thursday). if you want to know where you should eat cheap (my fav. bang for the buck spot is the dumpling joint on eldridge of course... can't beat $1 for 5 pork n chive dumplings).
