There was an article on Gothamist today about the opening of Max Brenner Chocolate by the Bald Man.
Apparently Max Brenner wants to create a “culture of chocolate”. Well that sounds good to me.

I went to see Pirate of the Caribbean II on Saturday Night at the Warwick Drive In. Damn that place was packed! They started the film while it was too light out so a bit of the opening sequence was lost to me.
Anyway I did enjoy the movie but a lot of it left me [...]
