12th Annual Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Festival – Eldridge Street
June 13th, 2012 by Mr. C
(corner of Canal & Eldridge Streets) I can always tell the summer season is just around the corner when two of my favorite block parties come a knockin’ to NYCs door, the BIG APPLE BARBECUE Block Party and the EGG ROLLS AND EGG CREAMS Block Party! It is no coincidence that both of these festivals […]

10th Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party!
June 11th, 2012 by Mr. C
The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party came, conquered, and then drifted into the hog smoked gotham sunset this past weekend but not without creating some kind of slow cooked-carnivore frenzy! About 17 BBQ pit masters from all over the U.S. converged into Madison Square Park in NYC on friday night to setup for the weekend […]

The Planet Chocko Zine skeletons — October & November 1997
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
About once a week or maybe even more – depending on if we have to run the TPS reports at the Office Space or shrink wrap the pallets in the warehouse, we’re gonna drop a few Kaity Tong updates from our dusty & crusty planet chocko vaults. This week Chocko gave us the 411 on […]

The Great GoogaMooga (An Amusement Park of Food & Drink) weekend happened last week in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Shout out to Joey Teacups for hooking me up with a ticket for Saturday!

Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver
May 22nd, 2012 by Mr. C
While still on the pedestrian bridge tip after recently visiting the Walkway over the Hudson in New York State, we figured we might as well add some photos of a more death defying and cooler bridge that the Planet Chocko freaks have quivered across in February of 2009 while in Vancouver for a Broken Social […]

Walkway over the Hudson
May 21st, 2012 by Mr. C
The Walkway over the Hudson is a 1.28 mile pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie to Highland, NY. This bridge was converted from an abandoned railroad crossing over to this pedestrian bikeway-walkway-Historic Park which opened in October of 2009. The smooth walk over the Hudson is not overly exciting nor challenging, […]

Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair
May 13th, 2012 by Mr. C
The Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair, NJ is a beautiful oasis open to the public usually from May to June when the Irises are in bloom. I’m definitely not a plant expert nor do I have any aspirations for acquiring a green thumb, however being familiar with the area – every year I […]
