Fight the Power: NY MAG Cheap Eats

I have a goddamn beef with NYMag Cheap Eats.  First of all, they should rename it Everything Below 59th Street Mag, because all the ink stained NYU wretches who intern and write most of the articles haven’t ever ventured to the bright light of the UES and UWS. Last time I checked, there are a couple of million people who living above Columbus circle who would like some articles mildly pertinent to their daily existence.

So yes, I have beef with NYMag because their Cheap Eats “researcher” can’t get off their lazy duff to offer some decent options in other parts of NEW YORK. This is the grand total of New  York establishments in their “Cheap Eats 2008″ section that were located in the Upper East Side: ZERO.  That’s right. About 70% were south of Midtown and the other 30% were in Queens and Brooklyn.  About 15% were repeats from last year. 

Sorry to rant, but this is exactly the kind of sloppy PAID work that makes me believe that NYMag is a subpar, poorly copywritten magazine.  Yeah, this blog needs a good copywriter too, but I don’t get paid! And it’s a hobby, not my damn job!

All right now.  I declare a rebellion against NYMAG
