I’ve been seeing her for years and definitely never seen her smile! I still don’t know her name!

Will Tiffani Amber Thiessen [of White Collar] be on State St?
by Matt
The show White Collar, which I’ve never heard of, is monopolizing State St. between 3rd and Flatbush Wednesday and Thursday. What does interest me, however, is that Tiffani Amber Thiessen just might be there.

Donna Da Vine Opening Some Kind of Gourmet Joint [Atlantic Ave.]
by Matt
Popping up right next to their current spot, Donna Da Vine is opening Da Vine Provisions the second week in May. [via Brooklyn Based]
Apparently, Oprah gives Da Vine the thumbs up so they’ll probably be retiring to the Hamptons soon and selling the place to some old man from Williamsburg.

Ignore certain users on Brownstoner with this script for Firefox
by Matt
Due to some consistently obnoxious people on Brownstoner.com, I took some time to create a script for Firefox’s Greasemonkey plugin. This script will hide comments from people that you want to ignore, letting you browse the site in peace!
So to use this script, you first need to have Greasemonkey installed for Firefox. Then you can click here to install the script.

Overheard in Boerum Hill
by Matt
Mom: Can you say “hi” to daddy?
Child: Hi, daddy!
Dad, gruffly: Can you please look at daddy when you say hi to me?
A Gentile Yuppie: I once dated a Rabbi’s daughter, in the Hamptons. I went to a family barbeque, and he asked me, ‘Do you want cheese on your hamburger?’ and I thought, ‘Ah–this is a moment of truth–one of those key moments in a relationship, where the family will judge me–what should I say?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I would’–and then the Rabbi responded, ‘Great! Then Cheese for Everybody!’”
– Bar Tabac, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn
20-something woman: You’re going to worship my mother when you meet her.
Man: I will?
Woman: Yes. Because I do.
Man: Is this where I can get a date? ‘Cuz I want mine Priority!
Woman at counter: Um….
Man: That’s okay. I’ll take door number two!

World’s Oldest Subway Tunnel Under Atlanic Ave
by Matt
This runs like every other Sunday or something. It’s interesting because of the history. Nothing that interesting actually in the tunnel. I was hoping for bats, skeletons, pirate booty, etc.

Nicky’s Vietnamese Sandwiches [Atlantic Ave]
by Matt
Classic Vietnamese Sandwich: pate, vietnamese ham and roasted ground pork.
Nicky’s Vietnamese Sandwich shop, for some reason featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, is pretty good but not cult-following good. I’ll definitely be going back to try the soup. If you have a decent appetite, you may want to get two sandwiches.
