I'm looking at you, Ben

¡Ay, Papi! Someone broke into Los Pollitos II

The Brooklyn Paper

Mas cervezas!

A thief broke into Los Pollitos II on Fifth Avenue on March 21, apparently hoping to steal some cash, but settled for some beer.

The owner of the eatery, which is at Douglass Street, told cops that he left the joint at 1 am. When he returned seven hours later, he saw that steel gate had been hoisted and that the doors had been forced open. But the thieves found nothing in the register, so they settled for the next best thing: an assortment of booze worth $88.

Details for: Art leads the masses


In his ever-constant quest to prove that he actually is Mexican (see image above for example), Artie-party/Tuti/Tutu/Tutes McGutes is leading an expedition to Sunset park, this FRIDAY, for tacos and margaritas. Will post more details, but would be awesome to see you guys. It's been forever.

UPDATE: Raju wrote: "Art says 8PM @ Tacos Matamaros - 5th Avenue and like 40s (google it). Invite cool people. Yep. Word."

I googled it: 5th Ave and 45th St. http://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-matamoros-brooklyn

IT'S BYOB so bring it!

Right now its me, Art, Raju, Mike, Muna and Sol/Ash(?). Come if you can. Tacos await...

A couple of you have asked about my new refrigerator-magnetic spice rack... So here are the DIY instructions.















Materials:
Jars& Lids - quantity depending on how many spices you'd like to store. I bought 60 for $50 incl. shipping
Magnets 2 per jar: I ordered the 1/2" x 1/8" but I ended up needing 2 per jar [perhaps you could upsize and get away with 1 per]. Paid $25 for 100 w free shipping.
Spices
Sharpie marker
Refrigerator or stainless steel plate: check out this guy's spice rack for a metal link
Pug (optional)







Instructions:

1. Label the underside of the jars with Sharpie corresponding the spice you'd like to fill with. The beauty of the Sharpie is that - on glass - it's erasable with water, so when that '10's craze for smoked paprika is over, you can change the jar.

2. Put 2 magnets on the underside (spice side) of each lid. These suckers are strong and hard to pry from their stacks.

3. Fill up your jars.

4. Make sure each one passes pug inspection.

5. Stick them to the fridge.

BIG DAY FOR FRIENDS OF JJ8

Sorry to post on top of Tze's exciting news, but I thought I'd give an update on another friend of the Family. My friend/former roommate Clayton understudies two roles in "Next Fall," a new Broadway play, produced by Elton John, that just opened on Wednesday. The New York Times gave it one of the best reviews I've read in a long time (HERE).

Having seen it twice now, I can say it is definitely great.
Funny, sad, and thought provoking.
See it if you can.
