If you like Eurogames (e.g. Settlers of Catan), this is one of the best. Kind of "sequel" to Modern Art.

Everything about this place is amazing. Get the Pork Buns, Momofuku Ramen, and try to reserve a spot one day for the Fried Chicken. Yum.

It's a plugin to give Vim a WriteRoom-like mode. It's awesome.

Excellent tacos, half-off for lunch.

These guys really know their stuff, and are super friendly to boot. If you're in NYC or SF and interested in tech jobs, you should get in touch.

Also, check out their side project, LinkedList NYC: hunch.com/item/hn_3603694/

Vi Hart calls herself a "recreational mathemusician." In this series of videos, she argues that math can actually be fun (!), leading you along a chain of thoughts about mathematical concepts with accompanying doodles. No math background required!

It's a shooter. You play as the a Helvetica "A" and have to shoot other characters.

Inventive and it has great typography.

A minimalist list of movies showing in amazing NYC locations (The Intrepid, Roosevelt Island, Bryant Park…) this summer.

Stream new-to-DVD movies for cheap ($1-2). They have movies Netflix streaming doesn't have because when you stream a movie, you're actually renting a physical DVD which they automatically put in a DVD player and stream to you.

The quality isn't amazing, but the overall experience and the terms of the rental are quite good. And I have to respect the entrepreneurial gumption and simplicity.

Beautiful.

A delicious Middle Eastern/Russian kosher restaurant hidden in the middle of the diamond district. Fantastic food and atmosphere. Delightfully New York.

Delicious dumplings and tea... In Midtown?! It's true. It's like a little oasis, and best of all, the prices are pretty reasonable (especially their lunch specials).

The only model shoe I've bought for the past several years. They're a bit pricey, but if you're like me and wear them all day every they're more than worth it.

It plays pleasing rain sounds on a loop to block out distracting noise. This has replaced SimplyNoise.com for me.

Wow. They're making a movie about Florent, the diner in the meatpacking district that closed down a couple years ago. My old office was right near this place and we'd go there for lunch at least once a week. It always had delicious food and a unique atmosphere.

A simple text editor for distraction-free writing. Fullscreen + soothing music. Great for blogging.

The best intro text for CS theory and possibly the best textbook on *anything*. Incredibly clear and concise. For the proofs, it sketches out the idea/intuition behind the proof before diving into the details.

The content is absolutely fascinating and in many cases genuinely exciting.

Watch the entire thing. It's worth it.

Fascinating.
