How to Find The Best Restaurants in a New City

When most of us might ask a few friends, look up restaurants on Yelp or just try a random new place when we are visiting a new city, Anthony Bordain has his own unique suggestion to find the best restaurant in a new city:
Get online and write something along the lines of, "hey guys, I just had the absolute best chicken rice at [restaurant x] in Singapore, no questions asked, hands down, everything else pales in comparison," then sit back and enjoy the show as the internet foodie elite each jump into the fray to defend their own picks to the death. You'll get a much bigger response, more passionate praise, and it'll probably end up being a little fun to boot.

Have any of you ever tried this? Or do you have your own method for finding new places in new locales?

The Parasitic Cabin of San Francisco



Parasites are rarely adorable, but this tiny little cabin in San Francisco certainly is.
The structure, which measures approximately W7 x D8 x H11 feet, takes on a 19th-century architectural style. Constructed from vintage building materials - it has a welded aluminum frame, with an exterior finished with 100 year-old reclaimed barn board from Ohio - the dwelling is meant to be an homage to the romantic spirit of the western myth and a commentary on the arrogance of westward expansion.

Sure it might not be lived in, but it does seem to be functional and could actually become someone's home at some point.

The Real Life Lady and the Tramp


(Video Link)

Disney released this great real life version of the classic moment from Lady and the Tramp to celebrate the upcoming release of the film on Blu-ray. While Tramp doesn't look quite right and the spaghetti slurping isn't exactly the same, it's still pretty true to the original, which is pretty impressive when it comes to directing real dogs to act like animations.

How to Troll Someone Else's Computer



Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a great prank if you're moving offices at your job or if you're leaving...it's not doing any real damage, but it's certainly leaving a mark. Of course, if they aren't too computer savvy and don't have an IT department, this might affect your future reference when they claim you trashed a computer before you left.

Could This Line Get Any Longer?



"I've got two moles to attack, a cub to feed and a field to frolic in, can we get this line moving already?" Just be patient Mr. Fox, be patient, you'll get to use the ATM eventually.
