Spinclacity 4.16.12

Just a casual commute to work on a gorgeous spring day. Came across 3 cop cars pulling over a fancy Benz, nicely blocking a bikelane on Flushing Ave for good 8 car lengths, as well as a all time favorite schoolbus driven by the super fans of religion doing the bike lane dash so the shrimp can bob onto the sidewalk, but unfortunately the ol' memory card on the GoPro was full and didn't capture the magic. Ugh. Gotta remember to dump it regularly.

This was the first time I rode with a chest strap in the city. Its nerdy enough to have a GoPro on your bike, its a whole another level of nerdiness to have it as a chest strap. See? The fashion sacrifices we make to bring you, the avid C2D reader, cutting edge awesomeness.

The Food Life v54 - Morimoto

Went to Morimoto last week. For those who don't know, Morimoto is one of the Iron Chefs and his meatpacking district restaurant is considered one of the best Japanese spots in NYC. Had a delicious tasting menu and this marked the first time I dropped $170 on a meal for one, but it most definitely won't be the last. Everything was fresh and delicious, beautifully presented and thought out. We opted to sit at the bar- the best seat in the house.

As dish after dish was presented infront of us we couldn't help but Ooooh and Aaaah over every little detail. A tiny carefully placed mushroom here, a delicate little flower there was craftfully scooped up by our chop sticks. I'm pretty sure there was at least 8 high-fives. Some of the highlights below.

Toro tartare - osetra caviar, sour cream, wasabi, dashi-soy,
Oyster foie gras - market oysters, foie gras, uni, teriyaki sauce,
Whole roasted lobster “épice” - garam masala, lemon crème fraîche,
16 oz. tajima wagyu ny strip,
house smoked salmon ravioli - japanese sweet yams, salmon roe, yuzu gelee,
ishi yaki buri bop - yellowtail on rice cooked at your table in a hot stone bowl.

Ironboy Yard Easter Boat Jam 2012

2012 Easter celebrations went down in high style at the infamous Ironboy Quarter and Yard HQ. DJ Ruckus was there spinning records along with his brother, who got sick the second he stepped to the turntable station situation on a backyard docked boat. So everyone was like, Ooooh, you got sick on the boat, from now on we call you DJ C-Sick, like, get it? So yea, the name stuck for the rest of the night.

Yowelli team came through to ride the 1/4. Easter bunny was chopped up and roasted. Burgers, wings, sausages, tofu - it was all fired up and chowed down. Good tunes, tons of beer late into the night as a fire pit was blazing and seasoning everyone present. Good times all around. Thanks to our host James "The Bomb Driver" S. for da hook up.
