I wasn’t around for The City Bakery’s annual hot chocolate festival last year, so I’m hoping I can make it up by attending it this year as The City Bakery is throwing their 17th annual hot chocolate festival beginning January 31st.
If you’ve never been to a hot chocolate factory, the idea is that The City Bakery will be making a special hot chocolate drink every day for the month of February. They’ve posted the calendar of drinks in case you want to plan ahead, but if you’re a real chocolate connoisseur, you’re probably just going to hit up The City Bakery every day for 29 days straight.

Gothamist pointed to a very sad story from The New York Times about how LaGuardia High School might need to cancel their Fall musical because of budget cuts.
What I didn’t know was that the fall musical — which I’ve been a part of in some form or another for 4 years straight — can cost anywhere between $45,000 and $70,000 just to produce.
School officials are considering replacing the fall musical with “Rising Stars” (the LaGuardia HS annual talent show) instead and say that if parents and students can raise enough money, they will try and put on a Spring musical. This is a major blow to LaGuardia school spirit and I imagine that the school will likely lose some sort of reputation as a result of it.

Nicholas Felton of megafone design studio, has released his annual Feltron report. The 2007 edition details his spending habits, his travel destinations, his food consumption, and a bunch of other personal statistics all in a very beautiful and clean poster design.
I’m a sucker for seemingly useless statistics, so this Feltron report is right up there on the list of things catching my attention at the moment. It’s so amazing how one can organize so much information in such a way.
Check out the 2007 Feltron Annual Report here.
