Beirut

Americani-z-ation continues apace with a session of beerpong last night. For those not in the know, this is a way that underage U.S. youths can enjoy themselves in small towns where there is nothing to do. And, luckily, it turns out you can enjoy yourself in this fashion on the Upper West Side, too! Alas (but not for my liver) I left before "flipcup" started.

In other news: Anyone who's enjoyed a flourpower bakery gorgeous chocolate brownie, the amazing falafel, ostrichburgers or simply a pint at the Wheatsheaf - sign the petition! There's a chance that the amazing Borough Market will be ruined by the building of another railway viaduct through it... so please please please sign the petition if you've ever been to Borough Market - or even just watched Bridget Jones' Diary and understood how great that part of London is.
