Employee of the Week: Crista Barrasso
Congratulations, Crista! We love having you here at L&O (and we're not just saying that to get cupcakes.)
Scouting today...
I decided that "Tranny Cooler" needs to be the next new bar in the Meatpacking District. Or a roller derby name.
Its Debatable... Gallard(o)
Crista and I always get in an argument whenever we order lunch from Guy & Gallard. I turn the name Gallard into a spanish name, and change the double L's into that y noise, so phonetically it sounds like guy-yard. I couldn't understand why she didn't understand, when it hit me- I got the pronunciation from Casa Gallardo, a Missouri mexican chain restaurant. She thinks I am just making it up...has anyone else out there dined at Casa Gallardo? Please back me up here- they really do exist!

Scouting today...
This guy was licking my legs the whole time I was scouting a beautiful apartment in Brooklyn Heights. Apparently my lotion tasted good. I didn't mind it. He was cute. His name is George!
It's Debatable...
Some would say that Crista and I sit too close for comfort. I think its nice: I tell her stories, get her advice, and make her laugh. She thinks its annoying: I won't stop talking, always ask questions, and make her cry. It's debatable!
No, but seriously, we sit so close together that if I make a comment out loud to myself, she thinks I am talking to her, and will start talking back. As a result, many odd conversations have arisen, and I decided its due time to share them. Actually, the fact about 7-11's name came up from such conversations...and so did the illegality of owning small turtles (with the help of Kat). I actually don't have time to discuss a specific instance, but check back later for our next ridiculous discussion.

Apparently Size Does Matter...
Did you know that the sale or distribution of a turtle that is less than 4 inches in length is illegal? It's been banned since 1975 and you can still stroll in China town and see these little turtle guys swimming around together.
You're probably wondering why such a cute thing can be banned from buying. Well apparently all turtles carry salmonella. They (Food and Drug Administration) chose 4 inches because they thought that kids wouldn't put an animal in their mouths that is larger than that size. But wouldn't you keep an eye on your kid to make sure he/she didn't put anything in their mouths that could cause harm? Like would you really leave your kid alone with a turtle that is less than 4 inches?
Ok so sorry for the rant, but I have a pet turtle named Crush and he is the easiest and funnest pet to have! He's from China town and my boyfriend's sister got him for her daughter who is now 8. After a year of owning Crush, she then wanted to get a pet bearded dragon. She was only allowed to get another animal if she got rid of Crush. We offered to take care of him and we are happy parents of 4 inch green dude.
He eats every other day and sunbaths when his heat lamp goes on. I wish I can take him with me everywhere, but I wouldn't want to get arrested because he's ILLEGAL!

Windex Remix
As I reached for the window cleaner I almost criticized it for being a generic, but stopped to praised it for being a pun.
Law & Order: G.S.U. (Gawker Stalker Unit)
Some days on the street are less than pleasant. For instance, one day last year on Delancey Street, I saw a crack dealer getting arrested and as I turned the corner, someone pooped right in front of me on the street. Within about thirty seconds.
But other days are quite nice, like a couple of weeks ago when I first went up on the new High Line. If you haven't been -- GO! Great views, great snacks, great wildflowers, and celebrity sightings.
I was sitting on a bench when I saw a 17 year old boy scream and collapse, then get up and run. I looked toward where he was running, and it was none other than Sandra Bernhard. He just sort of trailed behind her, hyperventilating, until she walked out of sight.

Law & Your Lunch Order: New Menu Book
I just finished organizing the locations department menu book. I started with two overflowing 4" binders, weeded out the old, ugly and tasteless, and ended up with one single 2" binder. Along the way, I found a few menus I thought were worth sharing:
Best Mascot: The Ravioli King
Best Restaurant Name: A Salt & Battery (I'm a sucker for puns)
Best Recommendation and Note from Previous Experience: Chelsea Variety Gourmet Restaurant (see top right hand corner)
All New This Season: Employee of the Week!
Congratulations to Ron Stone, our first Season 20 "Employee of the Week"!

Move Over Gunsmoke...There's a New Sheriff in Town
In hopes of improving the Law & Your Order blog, we have come to the decision that it is time to broaden the scope, and move beyond the topic of food. Its been fun reviewing our lunches, but the truth of it is, we only order from a handful a restaurants, and I can only write about Spice's Pineapple Cashew Chicken Fried Rice so many times before I go crazy...and people have voiced concerns about my social life, or lack thereof, since I am able to write about food with such ease.
My biggest concern with expanding the topics was that the title would no longer apply. But Crista was quick to point out that 7-11 got its name because it was originally open from 7am to 11pm, however, most of their stores have since changed their hours to cover all 24, but kept the name. Therefore (enter the geometric symbol of a three dotted triangle) we have decided we are entitled to keep our title.
So anwyhos, enough explaining. Time to get to posting...
