USQ and Strand Bookstore host Jay McInerney as he reads from his latest non-fiction book, The Juice: Vinous Veritas, followed by a chat with Ray Isle, executive editor of Food & Wine, and wine tasting. The Juice features more than 50 articles of McInerney’s adventures in oenology,…
Wooga, wooga, it’s the Great GoogaMooga, a self-described amusement park of food and drink. And it’s happening May 19 and 20, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. So imagine this: sitting in the springtime sun, with bites from big name restaurants (Red Rooster Harlem, Blue Ribbon, Luke’s Lobster, Momofuku Milk Bar…), refreshing glass of wine (selections organized by our friends at Terroir + Summer of Riesling), ice-cold beer (Oktoberfest-inspired theme curated by Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery), and hedonism-focused friends.

Dutch Domino’s Electric Scooters Say ‘Vroom’ and ‘Pizza’
Domino’s in the Netherlands thought they’d go ahead and be all green and whatever by buying a bunch of electric pizza delivery scooters, but then it turned out the things were totally silent when running and were dangerous for pedestrians and bikers. Way to save the environment, guys. Anyway, their solution to the problem was to record a guy saying things like “vroom” and “pizza” and “lekker” (Dutch for yummy) and “Dominos Dominos Dominos” and play the audio as the scooter tooled around town. Watch as the so-called Safe Sound scooter surprises unsuspecting Dutch bikers.
Let’s watch some hamburgers.
