in praise of poor taste...

i was intitially extremely displeased by the new additions to vanderbilt, not seeing any need for budweiser and sports, or crummy over-priced pizza. but then i had a little epiphany, reminding myself that it is a good thing that there are people of poor taste and places to serve them... simply because that means more of the good stuff for the rest of us! let plan b and the pizza factory draw those with no taste, and leave amorina, bar sepia, etc, for those of us with some class. its like cruise ships - i dont see the appeal, but i am glad so many do, because it keeps them away from the places i like to travel. and glad so many nyc tourists are coralled in times square or confined to their double-decker busses. etc, etc. maybe i should change my moniker to 'the misanthrope.'
