happy monday!

this morning, while waiting for my daily latte (soy. "like 900 calories," as sarah silverman pointed out), i noticed a sandwich for sale: peanut butter, banana, and honey on health bread.
the irony wasn't lost on me.

on the way from the coffee shop to work, i stopped to photograph another neighborhood gem: a fried chicken/bakery/health food restaurant, if, by restaurant, the definition is satisfied by the presence of tables and chairs.


in other news, the dixie chicks, whose music i am not particularly familiar with but whose infamous statements i am, happily swept the grammys, most notably for 'not ready to make nice'; barak obama, as i earlier mentioned, is running for president; and the weather here in new york is, if only temporarily, tropical compared to the last few weeks (or has it been days that felt like weeks?) of bitter cold we've been experiencing.
happy monday!
