“I didn’t take my first trip to Gotham City until I was 28 but up until that time one of my main images of the city – besides, ya know, people having harsh violence inflicted on them – was locals and tourists alike standing pleasantly in front of a hot dog cart while the hot dog vender garnished dogs with condiments (of course, a minute later they were probably pummeled and robbed by New York thugs). I’d seen the image of people buying frankfurters in New York on TV and in movies so many times that it just seemed like the thing to do when one visits or lives in the Big Apple.”

“What makes you enter an unfamiliar shop in a new city? An inviting window display? A big crowd (or lack thereof)? How about a funny sign like this Brooklyn shop, which advertises, ‘delicious free booze poured by a crazy French guy’?” (via Photo Of The Day: Wine Tasting | Gadling.com)

When Gadling wrote about the Apple Store cube in April 2011, it was because it had become the 5th most photographed landmark in NYC. After the passing of Steve Jobs yesterday, I think it’s safe to say this will be one of the most photographed landmarks in NYC for some time to come. RIP, Steve Jobs. You really did change the way we work, play, and travel. -MR (via In the world of tourist destinations, the Apple store is king | Gadling.com)

Behold…the avocado cilantro margarita garnished with a habañero. I recently enjoyed this delicious concoction at Oficina Latina, one of the many bars in New York City serving spicy cocktails. Gadling has put together a list of the ten of the top places in NYC where you can tempt your taste buds with tingly tipples. Consider Oficina Latina #11. I also recently tried Sueños, one of NYC’s best Mexican restaurants and the home of the $69 margarita. -MR
