Undiscovered New York: 10 unique NYC sights {Gadling}
Jun 17th 2009 5:47PM I'm glad you liked it. The diversity of different cuisine out there is pretty amazing, isn't it? In one day I ate some soup from Ecuador, a taco from Mexico, a pastry from Argentina and then had some asado from Uruguay.
Where else can you do that?

Gadling picks the world's best "second cities" {Gadling}
Jun 8th 2009 4:37PM Hey Jeff, thanks for the comment, I definitely appreciate the feedback. I do have to disagree with your explanation regarding the origin of the phrase "second city." As I understand it, the phrase was coined in an article written by New York writer A.J. Liebling:
http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/410156.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_City#History
That's not to say your explanation doesn't also make sense; it also seems like a believable explanation. Isn't it interesting to see how these phrases develop? It's kind of the same thing that's happened when people describe Chicago as the "Windy City."
