Gem Spa Days
When i worked in the East Village in the late '90s, i'd go to Gem Spa on the SW corner of St. Mark's Place and 2nd Ave every day. There i picked up my drinks, smokes and candy, usually on a break from work. I'm not a magazine person but they certainly do stock numerous titles. Many years later, i walked in and two of the people behind the counter went, "Where have you been?!" - i guess i was that good of a customer! I was thinking about Gem Spa because i want to try an egg cream again. Dude and i tried them when we first moved to New York and both thought they were okay. I want to give it another chance because i have a feeling i'm going to like it; i'm into seltzer and soda these days. For those who don't know, an egg cream is a classic New York drink made with chocolate syrup, cold milk and seltzer. Gem Spa makes it the best - it's all in the way you stir it.In case you wanted to try The Flying Biscuit Cafe's fried green tomatoes recipe, here it is on FoodTV.
And lastly, Method is a new company making environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. So far i like the cucumber bathroom cleaner and the grapefruit all-purpose cleaner. It's better than having a house smelling of ammonia and bleach!
