I Like 'Em Thick, Round and Juicy
My favorite hunks of thick, round, juicy, maple-drenched loving are located just north of Third and Market, at Blue in Green, a restaurant that boasts the highest ratio of creative, quality food and hipster clientele per square inch in the city.
Last Call
It's around three o'clock Monday afternoon in the Palladium. It's dark, with light coming in through the half-open curtains, illuminating the dust that comes off of every crevice of the old, wooden interior. The dining room is closed and of the six bar stools, four are vacant, as are two of the three couches, but the conversation rages on.
W.O.T.S.: Prude Juice
I thought if I discussed vibrators enough, if I kissed enough people, if I forced myself to use the word penis in conversation at least three times a week, one day things might be different.
Fresh Faced Grocers
Specialty grocery stores are like a box of chocolates, you never know if they're going to be filled with curry, squid or oxtails.
They Cannot Tell a Lie
David Gordon Green chose to follow up his critically-lauded George Washington with a simple, romantic film, All the Real Girls. He showed the film to Penn students at The Bridge on March 19, but made some time to talk to Street beforehand with co-writer and star Paul Schneider. PS: Do you want a lager this early in the day? No thanks.

Mission Statement
Late on a Tuesday afternoon, the doorbell rings. Through the peephole are two college-aged men dressed in slacks, short-sleeve white button down shirts and ties.
Letter from the Editor
This week my dad announced that he is running for Congress. I'm really hoping that he wins. While the fact that he could potentially be shaping national policy is thrilling enough in itself, I'm more excited about what the whole thing means for me.
Less than Basic
Any film fan can conjure up the image of Vincent and Jules standing naked while The Wolf hosed the blood off their asses.
Streetbeats
Sheep stabbed in high school classroom -- Apparently, two sheep were in an agriculture classroom when two men entered, stabbed the sheep with a pitchfork and beat them.
Relationship Advice
After watching David Gordon Green's second feature film, All the Real Girls, I was bewildered.
He'll Out-Drink Eminem
Mike Skinner, the British rapper better known as The Streets, moves across the stage, violently shaking a bottle of beer over his head, and spraying its contents all over himself and those near the front of the stage, without missing a lyric.

Throw Your Panties Down
A hidden hot spot to dress you for your wildest nights, Coeur is a lingerie palace. The chic room of wall-to-wall royal blue is a life size jewelry box, filled with imported lingerie, fancy gifts, scandalous bathing suits and racey negligees.
Hanging Gardens of Bartram
This weekend I learned a very important lesson: irrespective of the words of a noticeably frightened cab driver pulling over on 54th street, "Historic Bartram's Garden" is not the same thing as "Bartram's Village." One is a beautiful pre-revolutionary home and botanical garden set in 4 tranquil acres of Fairmount Park -- the other is a housing project, where nothing whatsoever could be described as "scenic," unless gutters full of syringes and empty 40s of Olde English appeal to you.
