Food in Mouth

Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place is just another food court

Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place is this fancy new food court by Two World Financial Center. It has as much charm as a titanium hip replacement. Yes it's bright and clean. Whereas last summer Steph and I were able to try hawker center food in Singapore that had charm and allure, here in New York this summer we have food courts that appear sanitized. We visited on a weekend and it felt spacious but left me wondering how a food court like that would survive if not for the normal week day lunch crowd.

Fortunately, I do not sell shoes and I'm not remotely famous. Some people might be hesitant about politicizing their blog in fear of alienating a segment of readers. I really don't see the point of having a blog if you're not going to say what you mean. Plus, people who don't like this can leave for all I care. This week's haiku comes courtesy of my sister and it very accurately represents how I feel about the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. I want Obama to win. And the truth is that I have unkind words for that other candidate. I won't litter this with those unkind words but I think this is shaping up to be an important election....
