You Talkin' To Me?

So the Chairperson of the Harbor Commission, Helen Marchetti, wrote to the AH Herald to "set the record straight" on the rebel band of commissioners who wrote to the NJ DOT criticizing the proposals re: harbor redevelopment (without seeking debate or consensus with the rest of the harbor commission). She wanted to make sure that residents understood that these three commissioners had not formed an ad-hoc committee and were not narrow minded in their criticisms but rather were simply part of a "special committee" that handles these types of things. To which I replied on the AH Forums, "well, isn't that...special." And in return I get, "Why don't you go back to the place you made better when you left!" Which, judging from the fact that an exclamation point was used rather than question mark means this was not a question but fightin' words. Kind of like when you ask tell someone "why don't you take a stick and shove it up your @$$!?" Sheesh. Not only will I need lightly buttered popcorn and some cold brewskis for the NJDOT meeting on 5/26 but now I'm being forced to schedule a consultation with Trachel Inc. to organize my security detail. Which is just as well as the carney folk are coming soon and we need to come up with a game plan to secure the town.

I encourage anyone who reads the AH Muse and commutes to NYC on Seastreak to consider boycotting Seastreak the week of 5/16. I know any change to your commuting schedule is a bummer but even if Seastreak doesn't feel a financial pinch for a week's worth of not riding you can at least make a symbolic gesture. The company suffers from unbelievably incompetent management and will continue to raise fares regularly while continuing to cut service as long as they feel they can get away with it. I know there is some good support behind the boycott effort and more updates will be posted tomorrow. I also know that "seastreak boycott" is a pretty popular search term on Yahoo and Google these days as the Muse has seen a big bump in website traffic from people using search engines and ending up on the site.

Read Lynn Azzolina's restaurant review Gianni's: Exotic Creative Italian Cuisine in Cozy Ambiance. Sounds pretty tasty, anyone know where Gianni's is? Is it the sister restaurant to Gianna's? In the review, Chef John Mandica decided to mix it up with Julia's by saying, "I'm no chef of the stars but I provide my guests with quality, quantity, and authentic Italian cooking." Let's see how the Julia's crew responds. Maybe John Valentin will show Mandica that he's still got a pretty good swing with his Louisville Slugger.
