Here's an idea I basically ripped right off of Bowery Boogie. With the wife & kids out on Long Island, I've been ordering in a lot. Last night, as I was attempting to decide what to get for dinner, I started pulling out the menus from the numerous now-defunct establishments around our neighborhood and setting them to one side. As they've amassed over the years, I keep meaning to throw them away, but my wife likes to hold onto them for some reason (which is odd, being that I'm the more sentimental one). In any case, here are a few of the places that simply won't pick up the phone if I try to place an order for delivery.

Noteworthy Photography
- Burning Flags Press
The website of Glen E. Friedman. Renowned for both his work with musicians like Fugazi, Minor Threat, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Slayer (and many, many more) as well as his groundbreaking documentation of the burgeoning skateboard phenomenon in the late `70's, Glen has been privvy to (and has summarily captured on film) some of the coolest stuff ever. He's also an incredibly insightful and nice guy to boot. - SoHo Blues - Photography by Allan Tannenbaum
Allan Tannenbaum is a local photographer who has been everywhere and shot everything, from members of Blondie hanging out at the Mudd Club through the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center on September 11th. You could spend hours on this site, and I have. - Robert Otter Photographs
Amazing vintage photographs of New York City, specifically my own neighborhood, Greenwich Village. - oboylephoto
Just some intensely cool photographs of abandoned places. - Rikki Ercoli's Legends of Punk
Much like Glen E. Friedman (see above), Rikki Ercoli has managed to catch some amazing bands in their manic element. - Lost & Found Film
A fascinating website devoted to undeveloped film found in vintage camers. A curious mixture of interesting and spooky. - Pinhole Photography by Veronica Saddler
NYC landmarks shot through a pinhole lens. Neat-o. - Satan's Laundromat
My new favorite website, really. In its own words, "a photolog of New York, with an emphasis on urban decay, strange signage and general weirdness." What's not to love? - Eugene Merinov
Compelling shots of Punk, Post-Punk and New Wave band performing live in various long-lost venues in a pre-sanitized New York City. Great stuff!

Ex-Stimulator and erstwhile Cro-Mag leader Harley Flanagan's tribute to Hardcore. - The Tod Hole: A Firewater, Cop Shoot Cop, and related band depository

Hugely entertaining or insufferably dumb, depending on your sensibility. - The Weblog of Spumco's John K.
The weblog of cartoonist John Kricfalusi, crazed mind and frantic pencil behind the original "Ren & Stimpy," as well as "The Goddamn George Liquor Show." Surreal, unapologetic, uncompromising genius. - Favourite Captain Haddock Curses

What ever happened to Bendix? ;)

It looks a lot like my pile, except you have far fewer sushi and Fresh Tortilla menus. What a difference a few blocks make in menus. I didn't know Chickpea closed, didn't it just open a few minutes ago?
