Come out to our final Suspiria party at Deity this Friday (7/25). DJs Mike McGill, Ladycreme, Dennis, and Under Pressure will keep the beats bangin' from 10 'till your legs give out.

Club Deity is located on Atlantic Ave between Hoyt and Bond.

This is your last chance to catch us before we go on vacation for the rest of summer.

I have a little confession: I've never been inside Carroll Garden's Marco Polo. It seems a bit impenetrable with its valet parking and old-schoolers congregating for cocktails and dinner. But this I know: The Italians of Carroll Gardens wouldn't have kept it in business for 25 years unless it served up some tasty Italian food. And now I have an excuse to go--the restaurant is serving a three-course $19.83 lunch, in honor of the year it opened, and a three-course $25 dinner, in honor of its anniversary. The special lasts throughout the summer and includes dishes such as house-made pasta with spicy cured anduja sausage and guanciale, grilled octopus, a prosciutto and mozzarella stuffed pork chop. Anybody want a lunch date with ABL?

And if you're not in the mood for fancy Italian, I can heartily recommend Marco Polo's pizza annex. The sausage, onion and broccoli rabe pizza is just about the perfect combo.

One of Olafur Eliasson's three New York City waterfalls, this one visible from the Promenade. On display through October 13, 2008. I haven't gotten super close to any of Eliasson's three waterfalls, but any thoughts on this public art project? I want to be able to get closer. I suppose I could always hop on a Circle Line boat. Is it worth it?

Friends of our over at Flavorpill are doing a free ticket giveaway for their One Step Beyond party at The American Museum of Naturl History tomorrow night (Friday, June 27).

To all the backpacker haters: Talib Kweli has built a successful, multi-album rap career in the face of fickle mainstream audiences. Fresh from his '07 release Eardrum,
Brooklyn's favorite truth-seeking MC beams Afro-centric rhymes and conscious flows from the stage tonight. Repping for the old-heads, Bronx-born veteran producer and MC Pete Rock hits you with his signature jazz-influenced style (remember "T.R.O.Y."?), which has garnered the admiration of everyone from Kanye West and Wu-Tang Clan to the late J Dilla. And with Boot Camp Clik capo Buckshot spitting irate Bucktown fiyah, this planetarium explosion should burn bright enough to last a hip-hop light year.

Get your fill of disco, electro, and other classic at Suspiria this Friday. After this week's event, we're going monthly.

Forgot the big camera guns, so I had to make due with the iPhone for Coney Island's Mermaid Parade snaps. Here are my two best pictures from the day. And there are, of course, a ton more on Flickr.
