“ Coney Island-bound N trains run express from Pacific to 59 Sts
Sep 26 – 27, 12:01 AM to 6:30 AM Sat and Sun
///
95 St-bound R trains run express from Pacific to 59 Sts
Sep 26 – 27, 6:30 AM to midnight, Sat and Sun
So says an MTA alert. In case you don’t live in Brooklyn, that’s a really fucking long distance. Obviously, the MTA knows there’s nothing I’d rather spend my weekend doing than taking trains five stops past mine and waiting for a local back. Oh hey, F/G: love you, boo, and your normal service. •

Nigeria Demands Apology For District 9

“With scenes like the one in this clip, where a local gang pulls the “cat food scam” on the hungry alien prawns, you can see where the Nigerian Ministry of Information might get offended. Then again, it’s funny because it’s true.”

“ The legislation also has provisions to … cut down the number of questions on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or Fafsa, the form that families must complete to apply for financial aid.
House Passes Bill to Expand College Aid. I did my own taxes while in college, but sought help with the FAFSA. The maximum Pell Grant was also frozen during my time. Oh, to be a few years younger. •

“ The Self Storage Association notes that, with more than seven square feet for every man, woman and child, it’s now “physically possible that every American could stand — all at the same time — under the total canopy of self-storage roofing.
The Self-Storage Self. As someone whose family has been through all this over the years—the foreclosure, the downsizing, the multiple storage units, the timer-lights and frigid hallways, the realizations that something has to give and stuff has got to go, the painful process, the moving into smaller units, the padlock put on when you can’t make storage rent by the due date—and finally broke the cycle and got out (hopefully for good) last year, I love these sorts of articles. •

The Un-Arepa

Venezuelan-style arepas and scallops tie for my favorite foods. Naturally, it follows that my favorite restaurants in the entire world are Taverna Kyclades (Ditmars Blvd., Astoria), a Greek fish joint, and Valencia Luncheria (Norwalk, CT), a Venezuelan cafe. When I read Mark Bittman’s column and saw the photo today, there was a lot of “wtf?!?!??” Because that sounds and looks good enough, but it’s not an arepa. Not even a Colombian-style arepa.

Imagine my delight at reading the comments on Bitten. He got TOLD by venezolano after venezolano, and a colombiano or two for good measure.
