Brooklyn's Loss is LA's Gain


My pal Brian is moving from Brooklyn to LA this week. He already started a blog about it, and will be filling in the news of how it goes for him and his GF, Jessica, on the West Coast. The deal is, she is really from LA. He is the "fake" Angeleno, which is a great idea for a blog. Brian was a big fan of dive bars, and drinking in general, so expect to read good reports from West Hollywood shit hole bars.

Yesterday he reminded me of my favorite New York movie, Manhattan. The best part of Woody Allen's classic is the famous opening montage, set to George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. If you want to see what New York looked like in the late 1970s, check out this clip. Better yet, buy the movie. When I got my first DVD player, the first DVD I bought was Manhattan.

New York will really miss Brian and Jessica. I'm super bummed they are leaving the city.
