Anyone up for Lunch?

Anyone in midtown Manhattan want to grab lunch? I'm bored and hungry.

As a follow-up on yesterday's link... Harry Maryles has a good post on the subject, while R' Gil Student and Krum both discuss R' Schachter's speech saying people should report such activities to the police. As always, it would be better if people could attach their names to their statements, and while it is obviously understandable why people often do not feel safe or comfortable doing so, it also does impact how much one can trust their information and claims.

Some newish (at least to me) blogs I'm enjoying, off the top of my head:
And, one of my old faves has moved to a new, "better" location: Reflections of a Rabbi's Wife.
And, for all you hookah lovers out there (you know who you are!) - y'all may want to read this at CampusJ.

  1. That depends on whether you want to hang out with a dame who's old enough to be your mother. :)

  8. HWHL - I didn't know what happened to you since your blog disappeared... plus, I had no clue you worked around here! Put it this way - I'm usually available, so e-mail me whenever.

    The Queens SM - I live in Kew Gardens Hills.

    MiI - My pleasure! :)

  9. Ezza'le! Thank you so much for the link! Keepin' it local, keepin' it real!

    RaggedyDad's usually around Times Square, but he's rarely allowed off the compound - er, out of the building. Hope you scrounged up something good!

  12. RM - Fa shiz. :) And I know, that's part of what made me think of it. I should have credited you - ah well...

    LT - Anytime, man. Just drop me an e-mail.

  13. Regarding the hookah part:

    Hookah is not only unhealthy, but utterly pointless and unfulfilling. I've tried it before, and I refuse to do it again, because it's unhealthy and really gives no gratification. It is very popular among college students, and its health risks are often neglected. There is no reason to do it. It's bad for you, and there is no benifit.

  14. so who'd you meet up with for lunch?

    BTW, when I first read this a little while ago, I misunderstood what you wrote - I thought for a moment when you wrote hookah that it was an accented phonetic spelling of hooker.. I was a bit shocked about that and read it again and understood... :)

  15. Nobody, in the end.

    And LOL.

    Taz - Many of my friends seem to enjoy it, mostly simply due to the social aspect of it. It smelled good/looked fun to me, though I have never smoked anything in my life...

  18. at least you weren't bored and hungry in a city that has only one kosher restaurant, like where i am now (perth, western australia). but oddly enough, baskin and robbins is kosher on this side of the continent so that made for an ok lunch :)

    hope it was a good lunch even if you were on your own!
