F4tF: Hahm Ji Bach, Authentic Korean in “Eating Alley” Flushing, Queens

One of the things about New York City being one of the great food cities of the world is that if you get OUT of Manhattan and head to different neighborhoods to try the local ethnic foods, you get the real deal! Recently I had the pleasure to meet an old friend from high school who took me to a Korean restaurant in Flushing where the food and service were both outstanding. The place we went to was Hahm Ji Bach. For the record there are two Hahm Ji Bach’s.

Thursday at Bonnaroo 2011

Attending a comedy show at Bonnaroo is a dubious proposition for a music addict.  There are at least a couple of hours of waiting time involved with gaining entry, thus many veterans and greenhorns alike have never even seen the inside of the air conditioned theatre.  A great opportunity presented itself in the form of Henry Rollins’ performance.
