Though a total non-fashionista, Gotham Girl loves street style & checks out the sartorial streets of London & NYC. Last year, New York beat London hands down on the street food front – this time around, London gets a bit of it’s own back.

Today marks the first Friday of the season on Governors Island, as well as the return of its Free Bike Fridays. This is the most awesome of awesome and I can’t wait to get back out there. It’s always a summer highlight for me.

If Governors Island isn’t quite your thing, maybe Coney Island is? If so, the folks at New York magazine have out together a list of Coney Island’s Best Food Under $5 to help you avoid spending all your “splash cash” on Coney Island comestibles.

Speaking of food, the New York City Council seems to have gone all anti-food truck on us and while I’m sure some of the situations that this law purports to address and seems to be in response to are valid – this seems overly harsh and WAY too quick.  And not for nothing, why is that the City Council is fully prepared to move quick and come down hard on stuff like this but on big stuff, they adopt a lethargy that makes sloths envious? Just wondering.

Will we have the first government shutdown in New York history? We shall see but let me just say that the New York State Legislature is a bunch of no good, no account losers who squandered  any chance I would ever listen to them or place any trust in them to do what was not only right but what needed to be done when they spent over a month doing nothing but acting like a bunch of ill-behaved brats. Shut up, sit down and DO YOUR JOBS!
