It was like a JV version of the ‘66 Beach Boys drinking moonshine with 1970 Crosby, Stills & Nash and deciding to have a sing off while wearing moccasins and wool hats.  And believe me, that’s a damn nice compliment.  This band is great.  <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Fleet+Foxes/_/White+Winter+Hymnal">Listen.</a></p>http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42062919http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42062919Sun, 13 Jul 2008 01:24:00 -0400<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/dDKXo3gXXbcprg1lbtzwmW3l_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Got these beauties at the newly opened <a href="http://www.rimenyc.com/index.html">Rime</a> on Smith Street, Brooklyn.  Very nice, cool bunch of dudes who opened this shop— a breath of fresh air after making the rounds with the L.E.S. shop heads.  I wish these guys the best in their venture.</p>http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42060507http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42060507Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:45:46 -0400<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/dDKXo3gXXbcpj9m4nmpWb50c_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Waited in line for 35 minutes on Thursday in 90 degree heat just to get in the door.  And I would have stood there three times as long if I had to.  Since discovering this landmark in ‘02 it remains the best pizza I’ve ever tasted.  After massacring my whole pie I actually asked the couple next to me if I could eat their leftovers.</p>http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42060039http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42060039Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:39:17 -0400<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/dDKXo3gXXbcoc9c3vyUwWuC4_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.gramercyparkhotel.com/">Gramercy Park Hotel</a> does not disappoint.  Extremely friendly staff, comfortable rooms, plush towels, kick-ass food & drink options and keys to the Gramercy Park gate to boot.  The GPH is like the shit-bag <a href="http://www.clifthotel.com/">Clift Hotel</a> only the exact opposite.  Thoroughly impressed by the whole gig.</p>http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42058030http://legitimatelycurious.tumblr.com/post/42058030Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:05:00 -0400
