Ace Hotel NY is the city’s leading hipster hotel and hotspot. KAYAK members looking to stay in New York City will be delighted by the whimsical touches and the out-and-out coolness of this property. Even the unpretentious lobby manages to be one of the coolest places to hang out in the city.

You’re doing it wrong.

Heat 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and, using heatproof spatula, transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 4 tablespoons butter into hot butter until completely melted.

So You’re Watching the Winter Olympics

Since I was nine years old I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the Winter Olympics.  It was 1980, the year the Games were in Lake Placid and thus well-televised.  I grew up in Oklahoma, which featured neither mountains nor heavy snow, so all the sports were essentially unavailable to me except for the indoor ones, and as for those I never got to any Tulsa Oilers games (at that age I was barely aware Tulsa even had a hockey team - soccer yes, hockey no) and I didn’t particularly care for figure skating.

But in 1980, two sports in particular appealed to me:  hockey and bobsled.  Hockey should be obvious here, since that was the Miracle On Ice (and I remember how the euphoria of the victory over Russia was tempered by the fact there was still ANOTHER GAME to play, and what a nail-biter that was).  Bobsled, though, appealed to my nine-year-old, Oklahoman heart as only something unattainable could.

And just what does “at least half a dozen victims in the past decade” mean? If it is half a dozen over 10 years, which I doubt, that does not exactly sound like an epidemic to me, particularly since we have no comparison to how many alleged killings take place in karaoke bars when other awful songs are being sung. How many people are killed singing Jefferson Starship’s “We Built This City?” How many during Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight” or Lobo’s “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo?

Kill Me Before I Sing Again

Heh. “Journalism” exposed! But also: how have there not been more “We Built This City” killings?

PERMANENTLY or a couple weeks. Whatever.

PERMANENTLY or a couple weeks. Whatever.

This is, I think, the fourth time I’ve PERMANENTLY opted out of that “feature.” Don’t tell me it’s PERMANENT if it isn’t. Jerks. Idiots.
