Summer: Cookout Music!

If you do anything this summer, please attend your black best friend's family cookout. Gearing up for one of my family's own, I was asked to prepare a playlist aside from a DJ of songs that should be played. Because I'm so generous and I care about my readers, I thought it would be awesome to share my playlist with you.

Here are some songs that NEED to be played:

1) Let No Man Put Asunder- First Choice
2) Dr. Love - O'Jays
3) Just Us- The Weather Girls (Original)..might be under Two Tons of Fun
4) A Night to Remember - Shalamar
5) My Love is Free - Double Exposure
6) Love Thang- First Choice
7) Electric Slide
8) BECAUSE I HAVE TO....Rock With You- Mikey J

Fat-ass: The Coffee Bar, Union Square

Aside from their anorexic model-esque waiters who make you feel awful about ordering a burger, next time you find yourself in Union Sqaure and have a somewhat empty stomach, I recommend the Coffee Shop. While sticking true to its name and serving a wide variety of coffees, expressos, lattes, and all of the above, this eatery offers a fresh menu that isn't too overpriced (considering their $13 bagel). The service is really nice, except when trying to eat outside. But honestly, the waitresses who look to be either upgraded from working at Urban Outfitters because they got too skinny for the clothes or too fat for modeling. I guess that's a plus if you're into the skinny type. I don't know...take your pick. && while your at it try their $4 sweet plantains. YUM

fbgm,
