I’m sure this thing’s a giant pain in the ass, but I can’t not love it. Nice price. Read more

I didn’t know traffic congestion was a good thing here! When did that happen? Read more

Now’s as good a time as any to announce that Aaron W. Gordon has joined the staff of Jalopnik. He’s an ace investigative reporter with bylines at Vice Sports, The New Yorker, Wired, something called “Deadspin” (sic?) and a lot more. Read more

NYC minus all of those things is how I envision Toronto  Read more

Guess you missed the entire team working on stuff from Geneva today. In any case, this was an unfortunate oversight and has been fixed, and it probably would not have happened on another day. Read more

Where are you going? I feel like at every East Side bar, if your tab is $30 you’re blackout. Try Violet Crown Social Club, one of the best bars on the planet. Read more
