I thought it was time to blog/comment on Cafe Deville, seeing as that I go there by myself at least once a week. Some times I will have friends who will join me, but in the event everyone is busy? I have no issue with dining alone at the adorable French restaurant. Located at 103 3rd Avenue the outdoor seating at Cafe Deville is really the attraction on days when it’s not disgustingly hot or trafficky of course.
If you go there for anything, I really suggest you try the French Onion Soup, or the Shrimp Cocktail if it’s the right season. I am a “French Onion Soup Connoisseur” by this point and Deville is definitely in the top 3.
Very moderately priced French cuisine, with typical dishes as well such as my favorite Chicken with a simple sauteed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes. If you live in the East Village or a big fan of a casual, mid-priced French dining experience I would recommend this joint.
Today Adam sent me a You Tube clip… in a nutshell, 3 million viewers have tuned into see what happens on a daily basis here in NYC. I will post the clip just so those of you who are unfamiliar with these crazy people can see what we have to deal with.
I’m sure for those of you who reside in New York City year round or even for us interns who are only here for a few short months, you have come upon some characters. I will give you a quick glance at the daily crazy people I encounter:
- THE WHITE FAIRY: On 2nd Ave, usually between 13th and 14th, there is a black man dressed in white bell bottoms, a white fur vest, white top hat, and to finish off the look white eyelashes and gloves. I kid you not. He is smiling, no matter how much money he gets in his coffee cup each day. He gets an A in my book of crazy people because he doesn’t require people to donate, nor is he a “rambler”.
- THE TYPICAL HOMELESS WOMAN, A GUITAR, AND HER SAD LOOKING DOG: Residing on the ground right next to the Subway station on 14th, in the middle of Union Square I come across this woman daily. She is strummin’ on her guitar.. this is not what impresses me. What catches my eye every day is the “pristine condition” of the dog! I have to wonder, do these people really stay there all night, as their board says they do? Or at 6 PM, do they pack up their work and go home?…. I think it is the latter of the two. I cannot imagine this dog is malnourished whatsoever. If anything he looks healthier than my pugs. Because I think she is lying? I will give her a C- in my book.
THE CRAZY GROCERY CART GANG: These people are my all time favorites. Every Wednesday on West 30th, the local Church has a grocery give away, if you will. These people that are eligible for this food are obviously under privileged and in need of any thing they can get their hands on. It could be 145 degrees outside with no humidity and I truly believe these people would still be there, with their little grocery carts and paper fans waiting in line for their food. What makes this my favorite is the way this “grocery give away” is run…. The man in the front who dictates this CLEARLY has no idea what he is doing, all he does know how to do is read off numbers, and those are the lucky few that get the “goods”. For all of the other unfortunates ones? They are left empty handed, over heated, and well… hungry! A+ in my book.
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus: I can’t have a normal life
Miley Cyrus, one of the world’s most famous teenage stars, has admitted to yearning for a “normal” life. The Hannah Montana franchise is worth an estimated $1 billion and has turned Cyrus, daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, into one of the most famous teenagers on the planet.
First off, who the hell is this girl honestly? I am from the wrong era, apparently her fan base was born after the 90’s began. Whoops! Fix your crooked teeth, put on clothing that isn’t easily identified as clothing from The Limited Too, and get rid of the trashy highlights. Thank you. And 1 Billion dollars in assets? This is a joke right?
OK, I do come from the “Britney” era so I don’t have much room to rant, however, this girl lacks most of the talent from what I’ve seen in brief clips and she sure does not have the dance skills Brit “Trainwreck” Spears had in her prime. I assume the mentality of both is to exude a sense of innocence while still giving off the sexual vibe?
The problem with this “sexually innocent” popularity is CLEARLY the fallout. Let’s check out below what happens to girls that are “just bein’ Miley“…
