Genghis Cohen…this tops Shalom Hunan even.
Monday, March 31st, 2008Oh my god. When I saw this, I made Josh turn the car around so I could take a picture of Genghis Cohen (which opened in 1983 as a Chinese restaurant, but also now serves as an acoustic lounge). The Jewish-Chinese connection marches on.

My book on world tour (well…only to the UK)
Saturday, November 24th, 2007So my galley went on a trip to the UK and friends sent me a photo of my book galley from Oxford… It also went to Scotland (and maybe Wales too? actually I think it skipped Wales) on this trip.

I found this scene incredibly New York. I wonder where the owner is, what happened, and how (he? she?) felt when the screen hit the ground.

The fortune cookie writer is getting a little saucy…
Friday, August 17th, 2007This fortune found on Flickr shows that the fortune cookie scribe was running out of ideas, no?

General Tso’s Kitten? Only if He Misbehaves
Thursday, June 28th, 2007My friend Jennifer sent me a picture of her cat named General Tso!
I’m sure the Qing Dynasty Chinese warrior would be amused to learn that he has pets named after him overseas more than a century after his death (yes he actually existed, watch this blog for more details. I’ve even met his family, which […]
I <3 flickr wordpress widgets
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007I just installed Josh Gerdes’ SimpleFlickr Plugin to display Chinese restaurant photos from Flickr and it was breathtakingly easy. When I saw the line of code I was suppose to drop into the page, I thought, “Is that it? That can’t be it.” It took maybe 10 minutes and it comes back with this beautiful […]
