The Hungry Cabbie And The Vicious Circle
In this week’s New Yorker, Kate Julian writes about the release of the Not For Tourists Queens Guidebook in “The Talk Of The Town” section. The release party about which she writes happened about three months ago. And she makes some snide jokes that are harder to get than a New Yorker cartoon. But she quotes a couple of lines penned by yours truly (anonymously, thanks for that Kate). So here’s the link to Crashing Queens: A Borough Celebrates The Arrival Of A New Guidebook.
If that tickled your fancy, go to my Published Food Writing and read the whole Driving In Queens Page that I wrote a couple of years back when I was the lone Jew on the Irish Riviera (Rockaway Beach, Queens).

Is it me, or did that article stink? It was snarky…and you are right about her “jokes” (I thought you were kind to call them THAT….) and for quoting you anonymously…isn’t a blog considered “published” and therefore your own work and you are due a reference? I thought it was rude of her….what do I know, I am only Brooklyn once removed…heehee
Love the blog!
