Last night was the final game in the history of the Meadowlands, a stadium the New York Jets have called home since 1984.
The weather was unfathomably cold as the NFL decided to move the game from 1 pm to 8 pm, and the stadium was unfathomably dry, as the Jets decided it was not wise to sell alcohol in an environment that could have become chaotic at the drop of a hat. As if there wasn't enough emotions running through all the frozen fans, if the Jets won the game, they are in the playoffs, if they lose, they're out, and have shamed the stadium, like some not to be named team did a week before.
The new Downtown STAT cards will be a part of a fun show this week. Check it out:

Our offices are located right near Whole Foods––which is both a blessing and a curse: A blessing, as it's so damn convenient to pick up a sandwich or some coffee; A curse, as it quickly became the only spot to hit up for lunch. After a while, we got sick of it. We decided to break away from corporate organica and explore our amazing, culinary–diverse surroundings. In this new series, we explore local treasures, document our findings, and report back ASAP. We seek out the cheap hot spots––anything with bang for our buck.
New article on Lola Sports Talk, putting the Knicks current situation into perspective and offering some friends advice for Knicks fans.
After months of planning and preparation, the Third Annual Art Rocks charity silent auction benefit took place on Thursday evening at The Bowery Hotel. Over 750 guests came out to dance, drink, and bid on the two dozen pieces of artwork James and I put together.
LOLA New York is named in honor and loving memory after an abandoned, overgrown plot of land known as Lola Prentice Memorial Park. Using stolen wood from construction sites of nearby houses, a home-made skate-park rose out of nowhere within a month. It was organized, run and enforced by dozens of twelve and thirteen year olds. The park became a legendary refuge and playground for unsupervised youths. Around 1998 it became too popular and boisterous and the police decided shut it down unannounced; destroyed the ramps, dumping gravel over the park and building a police station on the grounds.
Through the designs, music, artwork, events & clothing the values of Lola Prentice Memorial Park: loyalty, freedom, creativity and camaraderie are able to live on and blossom.
