"Really? This is it?" That's how I feel sometimes when the clock strikes midnight on New Years or you see a really crappy fireworks display or you go to a bragged-about restaurant and it sucks. Overrated! What do you make scornful "Whatever" hands for?

I hate you. But everybody loves you. Because I am a little pompous, I think I’m right and everybody else is wrong. I’m sorry, but your coffee sucks, almost as much as your hipster clientele. Your funny signs outside don’t make up for the burnt java and your uncomfortable seats definitely don’t help your cause.

Broadway Shows

Some shows are good, and I’ve been to more than a few of these, but in general, I walk away disappointed. They are either cheezy (Beauty in the Beast), don’t really make sense (November), or just don’t quite come together cohesively (Lennon). It would be fine if you lost $12, but these tickets cost 10 times that! Luckily, I always had the broadway hook-up and rarely paid.

Pinkberry

24 Saint Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003

Don’t get me wrong, I ate it up and actually, talking about it makes me want some more… But come on! The weighing thing is so LA and that makes your popular shop annoying to me… Give me a fat bowl and save the weighing for the new girls on 90210.

Peanut Butter & Co.

I feel bad for putting this place on here, because I really wanted to like PB & Co.— I love the concept! But I was sorta disappointed when I came here— I think my PB-banana-honey sandwiches are way better when I make them at home. Although, I do have to give them kudos for making their own PB.
