Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them

I'd trust that list more if he knew the difference between a macaron and a macaroon.

Sadly, Ladurée is the only place on that list I've been.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I currently have three unfolded baskets of laundry just taunting me. I HATE the folding with a white-hot hate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PERKINS!!!!

My other Spoiled New Yorker Indulgence is that the roommies and I chip in for a housekeeper once a month. It's only $23 each and its amazing how well we keep it up if there is a base-level of clean.

Because books.

Wash-n-Fold, baybee, Wash-n-Fold!

Yes, this. When we lived in the city, we quickly learned this was the Best Thing Ever. And pretty cheap, at that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I agree in principle, but having been to Frank Pepe's, I can't argue with their conclusions.

Yeah, I haven't been there, so don't have an actual argument to make.

“Not dead yet!”

Cash is me. Down to the number of baskets currently taunting and the white-hot hate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PERKINS!

I love folding laundry, but I hate putting it away in the drawers.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

guys will flag "BBW" ads so they're taken down.

Okay, I had to google BBW. Damn, that is so horrifying and depressing.

Humans. Eeesh.

housekeeper once a month

We do this twice a month and OMG it is the best money we ever spent - EVER! When we go to a single paycheck, we plan to cut everywhere but there.

I imagine this is utterly delicious, but I can't read the description without rolling my eyes a bit:

36. Best place to eat: Ravioli -- Babbo, New York

"I love the oxtail ravioli with black truffles and pigeon liver sauce at Babbo in New York, my favourite restaurant. It is a simple neighbourhood Italian, but it has a wonderful atmosphere . The only problem is that the restaurant is so busy you have to book a month in advance."
