Re: “It Sucks to Own a Food Truck”
Many restaurant owners see food trucks as a threat, which all humans are creatures of habit so it is understandable. But what they are failing to realize is that they are wasting precious time trying to fight the food trucks instead of working with them. Restaurant owners (especially those that serve alcohol and killer seating areas) could partner with 1-2 food trucks one night out the week and offer the community something that they cannot get anywhere else.
For example, they could advertise a "special" of 1 food truck item and 1 beverage for a price customers cannot refuse-$10 bucks; it would be even better if some type of entertainment or theme for that night could also be implemented. This results in a win-win for both parties and allows the restaurant/food trucks to increase revenue all around.
Due to the "gourmet food truck" industry's recent expansion, some areas are still transitioning and food trucks are being punished. As a result these areas do not offer a ready-made plan for new and existing food truck operators to navigate the permit-licensing process and end up with tickets (the short end of the stick). It is very important to do your due diligence before opening a food truck in any area.

Re: “Why I Fucking Hate Kickball”
Unfortunately, all hipsters are followers, not creators. That's why you cannot claim Burroughs, Basquiat, and many others under this term.

Maybe the writer isn't old enough, but I'd guess KO's costuming follows Mick Jagger's use of costuming from the Rich top hat statesman parody to Mr. America to court jester to disco man to Jamaican tribal chief and so on.
Re: “Should We Be Worried About This Brooklyn Measles Outbreak?”
Political correctness dictates that we let all of these ignorant third-worlders in and this is what always happens. Because they are uneducated and stupid, and breed like flies, which causes then to live in tight clusters in high-density areas like cities, disease outbreaks are common and spread to the rest of us. Our own kids are at risk b/c p.c. rules say that immigration has to continue - yes, even for those who believe in silly, bronze-aged myths over science.
Re: “It's Weird That the Coolest Songs on the New Daft Punk are the Ones With Indie Rock Singers”
They should have learned. Human After All was full of tracks that were poison on the dancefloor, when viewed alone. And they definitely didn't follow that up with the best live show of all time or anything.

I love everything you write, Kristin, but this article needs to be inspected for typos.

Re: “An evening with David Sedaris”
David Sedaris is one of the funniest authors out there, and this event also proved that he is one of the sweetest as well. It's a well known fact that he stays at the book store events until he signs everyone's books. What I didn't know until I met him at McNally Jackson was that he actually spends time talking to everyone and personalizes every book inscription. More often than not, he also gives you something when he signs your book; usually a trinket, a food item, or in my case, Bvlgari soap "to wash my patients' tears off my shoulder." I loved David Sedaris for years, and this makes me love him even more. Every Sedaris fan needs to go to a book tour and get a book signed. This was totally worth the 4- hour wait in line for me!
Re: “Should We Be Worried About This Brooklyn Measles Outbreak?”
@NYC Well, given that it's not a decision children generally make for themselves, no. Not at all.
Re: “Should We Be Worried About This Brooklyn Measles Outbreak?”
The kids who caught it don't have the vaccine either right? Natural selection.
Re: “John Catsimatidis "Feels Sorry" For People Who Live In Brooklyn”
Catsinatidis continues to be haunted by his past which include him being ordered to pay $7M in reparations to employees in a class action suit where they sued Cats for bad working conditions, bad pay, no promotions, etc.. If that wasn't enough he has been fined over and over again for foisting tainted meat and fish at his Gristedes markets and yes, he also monkeyed around with the fruits and vegetables spraying them to camouflage how old they were. Makes you wonder how much you might trust him as mayor.
