Paperboy posted this on Stalker Facebook and I felt obliged to write about it. I can’t stress the importance of cultural marketing. This marketing attempt by Burger King to reach the who-knows-exactly-what-but-let’s-assume-night-life-driven-20-something-year-olds, has me raising a few questions..
When I was growing up bubble tea was associated with FOBs and Flushing-ass Asians that hung out in front of Koryodang. Being 3rd generation, this wasn’t exactly my thing, but after opening my mind up I’m a fan. It offers a nice alternative to going to Starbucks when you’re out late at night looking for something to do that doesn’t involve eating and getting wasted.
If you’re ever around Flushing, Queens check out one of these 3 places located on or around the strip…
Sang the Man is by far one of the most intriguing people whom I have ever met involved in the downtown scene. He has a long running resume that speaks volumes in the realm of professionalism: founding manager of Ubiq and Atmos (Harlem), owner of Outnumber Store, web manager for Rugged Sole, and much much more. He’s hung out with everyone from A-Ron to Dipset, and lived everywhere from Philly to Hawaii. Diversity and style runs deep within his blood.
The Dominican girl in question is actually a college friend of mine that decided to to teach English to the Hello Kitty-like school children of South Korea. She recently decided to go bungee jumping, which led to the recording of this rather funny video. Hope you didn’t catch a nosebleed!
Headed out to Long Island to the world famous Jones Beach yesterday for a little R&R. Caught some waves and sun rays while I was at it.
The food was eh, but I don’t expect beach food to be mind blowing. Had a standard meal of friend chicken and french fries (complete with deathly levels of sodium). Read the rest of this entry »
I had this about 4 months ago around E. 9th Street. I was picking up some props from the good folks at Asahi beer and figure I treat myself to some fast Japanese food while I was at it. For some food I had on the spur I must say it was pretty good. On the downside, my sinus infection from allergies prevented me from truly enoying it. Nonetheless, the spicy/salty flavor cooked into the noodle made it an enjoyable meal on the go.
@jaekicho, @mikeyfresh1,@rekstizzy, & @eeesong–I need your help. I’m trying to find out the name of this Korean paste/sauce that always comes with any good Korean BBQ. I went to BBQ Village the other night and no one I was with could figure what it was called. Recipes are welcome too.
This momentous homage to the iconic beer brand was assembled by @mikeyfresh1 & company at his cosmopolitan residence. I was impressed by the brand loyalty and the how well the bottles went well with the kitchen decorum. Just the idea alone is worthy of some type of endorsement by the house that Gerard built. Red Star needs to get down with Mikey 2 Fresh and have him interview artists on tour for the campaign.
