Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2008 June 21

# (1) 21 Jun 2008, 09:48AM: Zurek Tip: If you want sourdough soup in New York City, use the MenuPages find-a-food search and search for "white borsch," "white borscht," and "zurek" in Brooklyn, the East Village, and the Lower East Side.

In general, HopStop, MenuPages, "Find businesses" in Google Maps, and WorldCat are great resources for New Yorkers and visitors. They aggregate information and make it easier to use, so I use more public transit, eat out more, and borrow more books.

The Cody's that I loved, the location at Haste and Telegraph (where I worked for ten months just after college), closed last year. But this is the final death, the final vanishing. Here's hoping Moe's is doing well.
