So what if she was desperate, psychotic and completely ruining my long-dreamed of vacation to Central America? all that mattered to me was that i had a stalker! and it didn’t even matter that my stalker started stalking me the day after her previous victim successfully left town aboard a helicopter in the middle of the night, leaving no trace of his whereabouts. Nope, all that mattered was that i was the object of some screwed-up chick’s obsession and that i must admit was pretty cool.

This Week: Some love for a special cocktail; some disgust for loose New York women who flirt with immigrants; and lots of advice, criticism and anger expressed for someone named Armond White.

The Bitch is Back
Linnea Covington’s story about spicy cocktails, “Hot Sauce” (Dec. 16-22), provoked a couple of readers to share their drinking views, such as: “The Dirty Bitch is to a Bloody Mary as Balenciaga is to Old Navy. A cocktail of elegant balance and harmonious proportions, it is lovingly crafted, a brilliant conversation starter, and absolutely worthy of a destination visit to the Dressing Room’s cozy bar. Do not underestimate the Bitch.” Another wrote: “If James Bond and Thomas Crown were meeting on a yacht off the coast of Spain, [The Dirty Bitch] is the drink they would have. It’s the bold flavor of a Bloody Mary with a lighter more drinkable texture… It has a fresh garden feel that would make it work as a great summer cocktail too.”

This Week: Someone who used to engage in anonymous sex, decided to send us a four-page handwritten letter explaining it. Thanks!
November 18,2009
I read with great interest your article “How Much Is That Dignity in the Window” (Mark Durane, Flavor of the Week, Nov. 11-17). Anonymous sexual pursuit seems to be all too many gay men’s drug of choice. This is why so few of us are truly content. We smile at everyone but cry inside.

Another reader wrote: “It’s hard enough to read one of your reviews when you hurl your thoughts into these incoherent, blithering tirades. Lets keep it one review...one movie. Also, the idea that Armond White uses the words ‘bad journalism’ in an accusatory tone is the most hysterical irony I’ve heard all week.

This Week: The reason endorsements are always problematic; and Armond White’s “fans” continue to offer their undying support.
September 16,2009
So let me get this straight. [In your endorsements, (Sept. 9-15)], [y]ou cite Bill de Blasios effort to be an aggressive watchdog on development, making sure that affordable housing, landmarks and neighborhood context are given adequate consideration in the approval process as a key reason you are endorsing him for public advocate.

This Week: Last week’s cover story about the changes at Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village, “Welcome to Stuy Town U,” turned into a heated discussion forum for people on both sides of the argument.
August 11,2009
Excellent summation of the problems that beset Stuy Town/Peter Cooper Village these days. Unfortunately, MetLife chose to abandon their support of a very well conceived urban project because their stockholders demanded more return on their investment. Tishman Speyer was stupid enough to buy in at the top of the market.

This Week: Readers chime in on the Christine Quinn campaign; an ice coffee lover shares a home-brew method; An Pierlé’s biggest fan directs Kathryn Bigelow to direct a music video; and a lesson in Morse code.
August 5,2009
Our cover story last week,“A Second Date?” (July 29-Aug. 4) sparked some online discourse regarding the two candidates running for the District 3 City Council against Speaker Christine Quinn. One reader wrote: “Kurland will win this election.Ydanis Rodrigues will win in upper Manhattan, Chin or Gleason will win in the South, Daniel Dromm will win against the incumbent in Queens. This is going to be a serious wake up call for those arrogant politicians who think their power comes from their position not the people they represent. Go get them Yetta! And I am not a lesbian or gay!!” Another person, calling himself UhDoy, responded with a prediction: “Quinn 73 percent, Derr 18 percent, Kurland 9 percent.The idea that either of these jokes stands a chance is really laughable.

This Week: Our look at Brooklyn’s The Shank gets some reaction; Lydia Lunch has at least one hater; Armond White has many haters; and another latenight lady tells all.
July 29,2009
I got a laugh out of the interviewees and the general subtext of this article [about The Shank]: “No matter how much we bitch about the city’s stale night life, don’t—under any circumstances—give us something genuinely fun to do because we’ll just fuck it all up for everybody.” —Jens Carstensen

This Week: Paul and the Patients deserve major label time; Armond White receives plenty of flack from Harry Potter fans (and Twilight haters); and one reader thinks a Holocaust-themed film is a violent, sexy time.
July 22,2009
Our music feature regarding Paul the Patients (The Doctor is In, July 15- 21) piqued one fans interest: Paul Holmes is a major labels dream come true...as a songwriter he is prolific and the songs are consistently high-calibre. Hope he and the Patients soon get the recognition that they deserve.

Tops is Tops
“Although I enjoyed the article on Brooklyn Bodegas (“Brooklyln Bodegas vs.The Brothers Khim, May 6-12),” one online reader commented, “I can’t believe that it didn’t mention Tops Grocery Store! I’ve lived in Williamsburg for 20 years and have been shopping there the whole time. About 15 years ago they started carrying organic vegetables (and related healthy products)—to please the shoppers but also because the owner actually believes that they’re better for you! Now with all the newbies coming home on the subway with bags from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, I always have to laugh— there are way more organic vegs at Tops than one finds at WF. People like that tend to go for appearances rather than substance. For anyone who wants good local shopping, check it out on N. 6th between Berry and Wythe.
