Customers Are Talking; Search Engines, Listening
by Laurie Sullivan on Jul 31, 2:00 PM
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Our ability to post content on the Web and influence others through opinion gives a lot of people that power. And aside from sharing a point of view, the content also contributes to search engine query rankings and optimization. Negative and positive comments and blog posts influence what we see in search queries. It will only become more pronounced as Bing, Google and Yahoo move toward push search services, rather than pull.

Socially Acceptable Leads Facebook To Sponsored Ads
by Laurie Sullivan on Jul 26, 2:38 PM
Sponsored Results could become the newest advertising offering in Facebook's search box, where ads appear alongside organic results linked to specific pages or places on the social network. Reports suggest that testing on these cost-per-click ads began last week. No doubt social data will also play a role in the type of ads that serve up.

What Makes Consumers Click Through From Emails?
by Laurie Sullivan on Jul 24, 2:15 PM
If Google acquired Sparrow, the creator of the e-mail client for Mac and iPhone, the media must still hold promise for marketing. Email click-through rates averaged 5.4% in 2011 and year-to-date in 2012 -- up from 4.5% in 2009, according to a recent study.

Trusting The Brand Enough To Click On The Search Link
by Laurie Sullivan on Jul 24, 12:44 PM
With so much information being uploaded or available on the Web, trust becomes a more powerful filter for sifting through the data. Consumers must trust a brand and its ads before consumers will click on the link, watch a video, or make an online purchase. The findings are apparent in The Trust Factor study recently released by About.com.

Data Behind Day- And Time-Parting Mobile Campaigns
by Laurie Sullivan on Jul 23, 11:47 AM
Similar to targeting search and display ads based on the time of day and day of the week, serving the correct ad to consumers on mobile requires research and skill. Mobile ad network Adfonic, which supports about 5,000 campaigns monthly, focused part of its second quarterly Global AdMetrics report on pricing and performance for verticals like automotive, retail, travel, style and fashion, dining, social and dating, and more. The report also breaks down the findings by time- and dayparting campaigns.

Here's where I'm at now:
34 x 12 room (main HT is 14 x 12 in the middle - 10 feet open on each side, walls all four sides)
Onto to the pressing issue I'm having. I'm leaning toward in-wall speakers but would want to buy enclosed speakers or install enclosures. Which is better? More bang for the buck?
What about enclosed speakers? All the searching is racking my brain. What are a few great choices for $300 each LCR and surrounds? Again, best quality for the dough? Budget is $1500.
Loving the idea of either 1 or 2 SVS PB-1000s or 1 SVS PB-2000 for a sub choice. What's better? One 2000 or two 1000s?
that is a really big room for in wall speakers.
dont know what you mean by enclosed speakers.
Two 1000's in my opinion.
that is a really big room for in wall speakers.
dont know what you mean by enclosed speakers.
I guess I'm looking/wondering if in-wall speakers should be set in enclosures or be the enclosed back (steel) style speaker. I don't know how the open cavity affects the quality.
NO in-wall speaker the I have ever seen has a properly-designed enclosure, and the performance is badly compromised.
That's not what you need for a room that large.
Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers are $350 per pair. I suggest that you get four of those, and the 10CC center speaker ($249).

This week, the World Food Programme (WFP) and their partners convened for the 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, united in their common goal to improve the nutritional status of children everywhere.
It was announced that a new project to establish best practices for tackling stunting has been launched in Malawi. Recurrent food insecurity, poor dietary diversity and repeated illness are among the root causes of stunting (low growth for age) among nearly 1 million Malawian children under five.
This project targets children up to two years of age, and their mothers, over a three-and-a-half year period, and is designed to reduce stunting by 5-10 percent, as well as build evidence for the best ways of tackling the problem. Later in the year, the project will be introduced to Mozambique. By helping children to first survive, and then thrive and grow into adults, this programme should ultimately contribute to national development through greater productivity and higher lifetime earnings.
Funded by the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) at a cost of US$10 million, the stunting prevention project is supported by the Government of Malawi, WFP and other members of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative. World Vision (WV) has been selected by WFP as the lead NGO partner for project.
This 'innovative' project claims to be founded on the latest evidence about the most effective nutrition and hygiene interventions. 'This project will deliver the right foods at the right time and aims to improve education about feeding practices as well as access to proper nutrition.' A stunting-focused communications campaign has been initiated to increase awareness about the best infant and child feeding practices, hygiene, and the use of a lipid-based nutrient supplement, Nutributter, which will be provided to all registered children aged 6 to 23 months.
No one disputes the evidence showing the potential to make the greatest difference in the lives of children lies in the crucial 1,000 days between conception and two years of age, but WFP's and WV's record of delivering 'the right food at the right time' is highly questionable. When WFP Representative, Coco Ushiyama, states, "Through strong partnerships, multi-sector engagement, a strong evidence-based approach and IT solutions, we want to show the world that we can and must address stunting," I too feel excited, but let us look at the evidence.
One of the main reasons that people are undernourished in the first place is the ubiquitous consumption of refined cereal and sugar. Monoculture and NPK farming has already ensured that our cereal crops contain only a fraction of the nutrients they used to contain. We then compound the felony by refining them. This process removes most of the important micronutrients. What is left is best described as 'empty calories'.
It would make sense to stop refining cereals, but that is not on anyone's agenda. Instead, we attempt to fortify these empty calories with chemicals, courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry. This is on everyone's agenda, despite the plethora of evidence that phytic acid in cereal grains forms insoluble and non-absorbable complexes with these added chemicals, and the overwhelming evidence from South Africa that the fortification of maize and wheat flour over several years has achieved little, if anything.
Despite this, the distribution of corn soya blend (CSB) – a refined and fortified cereal blend – continues to be promoted by WFP and WV.
Another approach, for which there is little evidence of benefit, is the use of Sprinkles. The idea here is that one can sprinkle the micronutrients that are missing from the diet directly onto the food. The Soofi study in Pakistan was a large and authoritative RCT within the SUN 1000 Days initiative. It used Sprinkles to get micronutrients to the study group. Intervention was for an extended period. But the results were appalling. Haemoglobin improved in the treated groups but they all remained anaemic. The improved growth in the one group was paltry. Serum zinc and retinol showed little change. One wonders what happened with the Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Folic Acid because, although they were in the intervention, they never got another mention. Side effects were serious and militated against any benefit. These included diarrhoea, even though zinc is believed to be important in controlling infant diarrhoea. This is not an intervention that anyone would wish to recommend and it comes as no surprise to those who understand the importance of nutrient form. The Nepal UNHCR research also showed no benefit.
Despite this, the use of Sprinkles enjoys widespread support.
But the big gun in our armoury is apparently Plumpy'Nut. In the Malawi project, a specialised, ready-to-use product, Nutributter, will be provided to all registered children aged 6 to 23 months. For Nutributter, read Plumpy'Nut.
Plumpy'Nut is promoted and marketed across Africa as a major breakthrough in the fight against malnutrition. Manufactured by the French company, Nutriset, it was designed by Dr André Briend to be used for a maximum of two to three weeks in cases of severe acute malnutrition. This may well be appropriate, but it is not the reality on the ground, where Plumpy'Nut is hailed as a miracle food and as the solution to malnutrition, particularly in Africa. This is complete nonsense, but it goes unchallenged as a claim.
Plumpy'Nut is a combination of powdered milk (30%), sugar (28%), peanut butter (25%), cotton-seed oil (15%) and vitamins and minerals, as chemical isolates. It has the consistency of a paste. The dangers of high levels of refined sugar and fat for young children are now so well understood that the British Government recently banned all advertising to young children of such products. This ban would include Plumpy'Nut. Furthermore, high levels of protein in malnourished children can cause diarrhoea.
The only scientific evidence that I can find anywhere is that Plumpy'Nut increases body mass index (BMI) and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC). As I have stated, this may be useful to rescue someone who is dying, but increases in BMI or MUAC in the moderately malnourished tell us nothing about nutritional status, unless we believe that fatter kids are healthier kids. I have not seen any evidence that it makes children nutrient replete, or that it improves nutritional status. As far as the vitamins and minerals are concerned, Plumpy'Nut uses a micronutrient mix of chemical isolates that will have little impact addressing the nutritional needs of the malnourished.
The project protocol, entitled 'Formative research to develop culturally-appropriate, supplementary feeding programs for children 6‐23 months in rural Mozambique and Malawi', states, inter alia, that it will identify potential barriers and facilitating factors to appropriate complementary feeding, and that these findings will be used to develop culturally-appropriate message and communication strategies based on local food concepts and behaviour to successfully promote age‐appropriate, energy‐dense foods, including but not limited to Nutributter, which will yield appropriate and sustained usage among children 6‐23 months.
It frankly horrifies me that 'developing culturally-appropriate, supplementary feeding programs for children' is a euphemism for weaning them onto daily high fat, high sugar 'treats'. In Davos 2013, Marc Van Ameringen, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), highlighted the links between under-nutrition and over-nutrition – or obesity – and how many emerging countries suffer from what is referred to as a double-burden of malnutrition.
So, wake up and get real. We should not be intervening in the diets of children unless we have solid evidence that our interventions improve their nutritional status. We need to measure the deficiencies and show that our interventions have corrected them. None of the interventions mentioned above are evidence-based, and none of them will produce nutrient-replete children. Nor will this so-called research add anything useful to our body of scientific knowledge, but then I suspect it was never meant to. The children will continue to suffer, and we will have failed them yet again.

Bryan Eisenberg | November 18, 2010 | Comments
What is the return on creating and strengthening a relationship and over what period do you measure it?
Few would argue about the impact of social media. The voice of the customer has never been so powerful, so connected, nor so frequently measured before. Customers are obviously engaged in conversations with brands. Customers choose to affiliate themselves with brands and businesses they "Like" while others consume the content (i.e., reviews, videos, etc.) produced by their fellow customers before and after they make purchase decisions. Social media has tremendous impact on brand perception.
One trend concerns me. So many marketers obsess about the return on investment of social media. I'm a big fan of ROI - always have been - always will be.
So what is the return on creating and strengthening a relationship and over what period do you measure it? Here is how it's broken down:
Measuring the short-term sales attributed to a tweet, YouTube campaign, or Facebook "Like"-athon might demonstrate "return," but it is the wrong end of the telescope to be looking at measurement from.
Social Media Can Not be Measured in a Snapshot
Social media is about relationships. And anyone who has ever had one can tell you that you cannot judge a relationship from a snapshot; you need to observe a relationship over months or even years to get any sense of the quality and value of that relationship. Sadly, most of the social media analysis tools in the marketplace don't provide this viewpoint.
When a brand chooses to participate in social media it is an investment in customer experience. Any investment in customer experience should be part of the cost of any marketing program today, but its costs should be amortized over the long term.
Irrational Hype Will Lead to Irrational Expectations
"If you torture the data long enough it will confess," is what we learn from British economist Ronald Coase. The question to ask is what are the "social media pundits" trying to get it to confess to?
The McLie of Foursquare
McDonald's first reported a 33 percent increase in overall foot traffic (and later clarified it was actually a 33 percent lift in check-ins) on a $1,000 Foursquare campaign. Have you seen this story? There has been quite a bit of analysis on this already by others, but here is the summary:
Even if this case study from McDonald's was misunderstood, the point pundits are pushing is the same. Too many people are trying to look at these relationship building tools as a direct response vehicle. Can you get a direct response from a relationship medium? Sure you can. So why not put your customer relationship management (CRM) initiative on commission and then insist that any communication with customers that doesn't directly contribute revenue be cancelled? No more smiles for you! Online, those virtual smiles are visible to everyone. Do you want to be that company who only smiles to those customers transacting right now?
Take it from someone who loves measurement, conversions, and improving responses, you ain't going to get any satisfaction trying to measure the short-term impact. You will get a lot of noise, false signals, and opinions.
Measuring the long-term impact is what you need to look at and hopefully the tool vendors will catch up with this. However, it's not probable. It is especially challenging considering the volume of data they would need to go through to do this properly, the false hopes they've spread, and the "experts" they've endorsed.
There is a ton of value in engaging with your customers in social media. No doubt about it! Please get realistic about what it takes to build real value. Only then might you deliver the type of happiness Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com, has acheived by leveraging great customer experiences and nurturing real brand evangelists. That is how you can experience the true ROI of social media!

2 Megapixel (and up) Camera Phones
Samsung A970 The Samsung SCH-A970 is Verizon's only 2MP camera phone, but we hesitate to recommend it because of the slow autofocus. Unless you really want to play with the optical zoom or the speech-to-text dictation, the LG VX9800 and Motorola E815 are better alternatives.

Leadership communications — four steps to authenticity
Authenticity is the most important quality in leadership communications today. With it, you can move people to action. Without it, you can't even get a hearing. Where does it come from, and how can you achieve it? Every communication is two conversations. The first conversation in every communication is the one you're aware of: the content. The second conversation is the one that most humans are unconscious experts on: the nonverbal one…. Read More
Is Q&A a good idea? And other questions
Why go to all the trouble of preparing a speech when you can just take questions? I've been asked that question many times by executives I've worked with that aren't comfortable with the idea of all that focus on themselves, or the work involved in getting a speech ready, or simply can't think of anything particularly earth-shattering to say. If you're not sure what you want to say, Q&A can seem like… Read More

Abisko Washbasin from Eumar is a totally new concept for our modern lifestyle. In these environmentally-conscious times the cast mineral marble washbasin Abisko brings us back to nature. Inspired by the unspoilt waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko, the sink is unfettered by pipes. Nor does it allow water to accumulate in a big tub, something designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström deem unnecessary. Rather, one should be aware of just how much water one is using, and catch it with careful consideration. An extraordinary, sculptural piece, the Abisko washbasin captures the freshness of mountain streams as water cascades down the length of the sink to slip away down a discreet floor-level grill. Living with an awareness of our limited resources, surrounded by cherished objects... these are the keys to happiness offered by the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar.

Hedgehog Foods of NYC: Chelsea Market Cluster
Simple but effective grilled cheese sandwiches from Lucy's Whey.
After a few spotty years, Chelsea Market, the block long shopping arcade that runs through the old Nabisco Building at 75 Ninth Avenue, seems to have settled in and hit its stride, if you"ll pardon the contradiction. While it is too small to really compare with the Pike Street Market of Seattle of the Reading Market in Philadelphia, it seems to have achieved a similar equilibrium, providing specialty shopping and lunch to New Yorkers and culinary entertainment to throngs of tourists. To those who would dismiss the Chelsea Market as a mere tourist spectacle, I would point out that the Manhattan Fruit Exchange is probably the best fruit and vegetable market in the city, considering its combination of high quality, encyclopedic inventory and reasonable prices, and that the Lobster Place fish market offers a range of seafood that only Citerella and few others can match. (Its prices, however, are pretty high.)
A big part of Chelsea Market"s current vibrancy is provided by several recent additions to its complement of hedgehog food operations. This line-up now offers places dedicated to Australian savory pies, vegan sushi, crepes, fried chicken, tacos, boiled lobster, raw shellfish, grilled cheese sandwiches, Cambodian sandwiches, conventional sushi, and soup. Chelsea Market has a number of worthwhile restaurants with broader agendas, including a fine street-style Thai takeout place, as well as some interesting, single-minded dessert and beverage sellers, but here we limit the discussion to those meeting a narrow definition for hedgehog purveyance.
Let"s briskly list and comment:
Tuck Shop has been in Chelsea Market for some time selling Australian meat pies maybe five inches in diameter. The nice thing about these is that they can really be held and eaten out of hand without a high risk of disaster; they"re sturdy. There"s something appealing if not exactly refined about the woody crust but the fillings are sort of undifferentiated goos, for the most part.
Beyond Sushi offers "sushi" rolls without using conventional sushi rice, its defining characteristic (you ought to know). Instead of white rice, either a kind of black rice or a combination of several varieties of rice, rye and barley grains is rolled around utterly vegetable fillings. I was fully prepared to despise this place with the contempt I always feel for any aspect of veganism, but really, the textures of the mayo roll I had were quite nice and I couldn"t suppress the thought that there was something wholesome about the experience.
Bar Suzette is the creperie in Chelsea Market, one of a growing corps in New York City of late. I think crepes are inherently disappointing, in New York or Paris, for that matter, and did not try theirs. Given the more attractive alternatives available the Market, I probably never will.
Hybird? is Roots drummer Ahmir Questlove"s vanity fried chicken place. The question mark is very relevant, it turns out. Why indeed? The heavy batter coating on the chicken is oddly seasoned and a bit sweet, as well as being very close to burned, as least when I was there. Also strange was the apparent absence of any hot sauce option. I say celebrities, even benign ones like Questlove, should keep their personae out of the food.
Directly across from Hybird? is Los Tacos No. 1, which is the best taco stand I know about in the city right now. While Hybird? appears to be largely ignored by lunch-seekers, Los Tacos always seems to have a line. It offers a range of taco, tostada, quesadilla formats with nicely charred pork and beef fillings, a bit of salad topping and a very nice array of salsas and condiments, the sort of thing that is often conspicuously lacking in New York taquerias. Of particular interest is the paste-like tatemada salsa, made with charred chiles and tomatoes. They have a nice system. You order and pay at the register, then hand your receipt to an individual down the counter who fills your order. The chain of responsibility is never unclear.
The Lobster Place is a complex within the larger complex of the Market, offering several hedgehog operations along with its extensive fish market functions. There is a "boiled lobster by the pound" stand about which nothing mysterious can be seen or said. Boiled lobsters at a reasonable price are served with melted butter, and Japanese tourists experience them in great numbers. There is a raw shellfish bar with a fine selection of very fresh oysters for standing customers only. Prices are reasonable but the selection of condiments offered with the bivalves is not good; no horseradish, only cocktail sauce; the vinaigrette sauce is sweet and distracting. A narrowly seafood-focused sushi bar makes good use of the raw materials close at hand. Everything considered, the Lobster Place is a smart operation that keeps several balls in the air with seeming ease and confidence. It exploits its own resources very effectively.
The Cambodian sandwich shop Num Pang is discussed in the previous entry to this column. It has expanded to several other locations from its original store on E. 12th st in the past year or so. Again, this is a wonderful joint; its versions of banh mi are distinguished from most conventional Vietnamese sandwiches by a luxurious richness that would be foolish to resist.
The oldest hedgehog operation in Chelsea Market is a link in the extensive chain of Hale and Hearty Soup. I suppose it meets the definition of a hedgehog operation by most objective criteria, but there is something about the franchise store nature of it that puts me off, perhaps unfairly. Let others judge for themselves.
Finally, at the minimalist end of the hedgehog spectrum is Lucy"s Whey, a small, artisanal cheese store that offers only one hot prepared item, an elemental grilled cheddar sandwich with two variations. One is sharp cheddar, butter and bread; the other is sharp cheddar, fig spread and bread. The bread is a thin, flatbread loaf of some kind that crisps up beautifully in a sandwich press. It"s very nice.
Hedgehog Foods of NYC: University Place & E. 12th Street Cluster
By Gerry Kagan
At the intersection of University Place and E. 12th Street is a cluster of hedgehog food establishments that almost perfectly represents the hedgehog phenomenon in Manhattan at this particular moment. Literally within a stone's throw of each other (if a thrown stone could pass through a building) are an old school pizzeria, a falafel stand, a Cambodian sandwich shop, a creperie, a hummus restaurant, a hamburger place, a taqueria, a "tortaria", a ramen shop and a yakitori operation. This particular location is an ideal habitat for the hedgehog, wedged between NYU and Union Square; lots of students, lots of folks in the market for a quick, inexpensive something to eat. Clearly, there are gaps in the coverage, and one could quibble, as well as nibble around the edges of this assertion, but these ten eateries include hedgehog types that come to us from several eras and several continents and together they form a microcosm of the larger universe of contemporary New York single-food purveyors.

older pizzerias in the City. It has been around since 1966, a perfectly okay representative of New York slice pizza. One might say that the tomato sauce is a bit sugary. Pizzerias are surely the most common of New York hedgehogs, vastly outnumbering whatever category might be The live-streamed Beta application offers Live Baccarat, Live Blackjack Early Payout and both Live American and Live European Roulette games. in second place. (We'll hazard a guess further on.) Interestingly, as upscale, artisanal pizzerias have continued to appear in growing numbers, they have been accompanied by a proliferation of down market 99 cent slice pizza joints. Pizza, decades after establishing itself as a staple of New York life, continues to be a dynamic and vital street character.
- University Falafel is on the newer model that builds a falafel sandwich, burrito-style, on rolled up flat bread, and includes such things as pickles as a standard ingredient. Older Lebanese style falafel stands, exemplified by Mamoun's on MacDougal Street, rely on the more assimilated pocket pita and a simpler plan for assembly. This place is fine even if the falafels themselves are undistinguished, lacking both exterior crispness and interior moistness.
- Num Pang serves a Cambodian variant of banh mi, otherwise known as a Vietnamese sandwich. Banh mi shops are one of the leading new types of hedgehog operations, perhaps the most numerous type of those that were completely unknown ten years ago. Num Pang's sandwich differs from standard banh mi, often including unusual pickles and very rich meat or fish fillings, rather than the cold cuts that usually are at the core of a Vietnamese sandwich. Num Pang is quite terrific and there is usually a line of people on the sidewalk waiting to place their orders.
- The quintessential Parisian hedgehog food is the crepe. Suddenly, years after the last of several restaurants specializing in crepes in Manhattan seemed to fade away, more than a dozen creperies opened in Lower Manhattan, seemingly at the same time. Among these are several stores of a small chain, Vive La Crepe!, which has four locations, including one on University Place. I have nothing to say about it. Crepes are a lovely idea, delightful to watch being spread thin on their special pan, then peeled, shining and golden, to be folded or filled with savory or sweet toppings. Fifteen seconds later, this pancake loses its delicate quality and becomes gummy, doughy wad. The magic of the crepe is that its magic disappears like magic.
- Another species of hedgehog unknown ten years ago is the hummus restaurant. Although, like the falafel, hummus was borrowed by Israelis from their neighbors and rivals, the idea of basing an entire menu on hummus alone seems to be an Israeli innovation and export. Other Middle Eastern devotees of hummus partner it with a range of other salads (tabouli, baba ghanoush, fava bean salad, lebneh, etc.) collectively, as mezze. In the modern hummus restaurant, however, hummus rules as lord. Some other mezze are permitted, but the focus is on variations of hummus. Nanoosh keeps to this model, featuring a hummus that is almost purely sesame tahini. It lacks the texture and balance that chickpeas ought to contribute to the mix. Neither lemon juice or olive oil seems to be much in evidence, although they can be added at the table. The flat bread that comes with the humus is dry and dull, neither crusty or chewy. A tabouli salad ordered to accompany the hummus was heavily tilted towards bulgar wheat and away from parsley. I prefer them in equilibrium. The tabouli also lacked lemon and olive oil. and gained character solely through the addition of pomegranate seeds, an odd variation in my experience. The seeds added sweetness, a quality that seems irrelevant to a good tablouli salad.
- One cannot easily keep track of the resurgence of interest and activity in the hamburger. The hamburger is the centerpiece, the most characteristic American hedgehog food. Along with the frankfurter, it is the defining hedgehog of prewar America. [There is a way of thinking of the hot dog as the food of baseball and the hamburger as the food of football, with the hamburger surpassing the hot dog in popularity, much as professional football eclipsed major league

baseball as the American pastime in the 60s and 70s.] Without anyone taking much note, after decades when the hamburger seemed doomed to franchise chain mediocrity, countless revivalist hamburger joints emerged in New York like so many mushrooms after a storm. Many of them make a point about using better quality, better sourced beef than is offered at Wendy's, some do not. Stand 4 makes no such claim, but it does a fine hamburger with a good char to its crust.
- It is difficult to be scientific about this, but it seems likely that the most common hedgehog food in NYC after pizza is the taco. And yet, young people can have no idea how recently the presence of Mexicans and things Mexican was a rarity in New York. Well into the 1980's, there was no visibly Mexican neighborhood in the City and the only place to buy ingredients to make Mexican food was a single store on West 14th Street, Casa Moneo. This absence was a mystery of cosmic proportions but it has been corrected with a vengeance, for which we are all grateful. Dorado Tacos and Quesadillas is of a particular type of taqueria, one pitched towards the general downtown population rather than an immigrant community–but nothing like Taco Bell. The tacos are quite small, built on two unfried tortillas and they feature more colorful and varied fillings than would be in a traditional taco. Interestingly, Dorado offers no salsas other than commercial, bottled hot sauces. Be that as it may, the tacos are lovely, fun and inexpensive, and this place is the best of its kind I've found so far.
- Several yards and a world away from Dorado is Tortaria, another representative of the Mexican invasion of New York City. Tortaria is based on its interpretation of the torta, a particular type of Mexican sandwich, and it is a compendium of bad choices and poor execution in that effort. For some reason, Tortaria decided to use a hamburger bun rather the larger, crustier bread that tortas are typically made with. Its fillings are miserable and thin. The fried chicken cutlet in the Milanesa de Polla, probably the best known torta variation, was the thickness of poster board and no more palatable, at least on the occasion I was there. The prices were disturbingly high for oddly small portions of food. Go to Dorado.
- In the contest for the most quickly proliferating type of hedgehog food, ramen must be considered a contender. Ramen has broken out of its East Village Japanese hipster and midtown Japanese businessman confines and is establishing itself in many neighborhoods, following sushi to become a routine dining option for the masses. Ramen Takumi is a fine representative of the ramen shop. Its noodles are particularly good, chewy and springy. The broth is straightforward, not as complex as some places strive to make it. The pork in the bowl I sampled was generously portioned, though perhaps not as intensely flavorful as its counterpart at Momofuku.
- Finally, we come to Bamboo Tori, a good example of the creative energy that characterizes this moment of expanding horizons for hedgehog food. While grilling meat, seafood and vegetables on skewers is a standard technique in many Japanese restaurants, including those that specialize in yakitori, the idea of an inexpensive, quick outlet for Japanese kebabs to the general public is something new in New York. The centerpiece of this place is an automated yakitori grilling machine on display in the storefront window. The skewers rotate through some high tech zone of grilling heat on a conveyor that also dips the skewers in sauce en route. The results are quite good. I was especially impressed by the meatball yakitori. The additional sauces and salad side that comes with a combination of skewers are also nicely done.
Hedgehog Foods of NYC
By Gerry Kagan
The 20th century social philosopher Isaiah Berlin introduced the idea of classifying thinkers and writers into two basic categories. Berlin designated those who know many things "foxes" (Shakespeare and Aristotle) and he characterized those with one defining idea as "hedgehogs" (Dostoyevsky and Plato). (Berlin himself was emphatically a fox.) This metaphor is quite often used in political shorthand, as in, Reagan was a hedgehog (government is the problem); Bill Clinton is a fox. Restaurants too can be divided into these two categories; those that serve a lot of things, like a classic diner, and those that concentrate on essentially one thing, like a taqueria.
Bubby's is clearly in the den of foxes. Although it has (we like to think) a clear focus, American home and neighborhood cooking, we're interested in almost every aspect of it, from oysters to oatmeal. But many of the foods we feel most passionately about often find their finest expression in operations dedicated to making one specific dish.
This blog is intended to glorify the hedgehog food providers of New York– stands, shacks, shops, parlors, joints, trucks and carts defined by one idea, and to celebrate the hedgehog foods themselves, those handy, inexpensive, beloved dishes that lend themselves to hedgehog operations.
Let's discuss the hedgehog foods that are available in New York and their shared characteristics. First, a hedgehog food is generally (but there are exceptions…) directed at a clientele that knows it well and that has a well defined set of expectations for it. Since this is New York, these clientele groups are typically ethnically based; and "American", in this context, is just another ethnic group made up natives and of all those assimilated enough to have a liking for American foods. Hedgehog foods tend to be inexpensive and quickly served and consumed. A large number of them can be broadly considered sandwiches of some kind, foods that are at least theoretically hand-held and can be eaten standing or while the eater is in motion. Hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos, burritos, falafels, banh mi, arepas, Jamaican meat patties, empanadas, doner kebabs and even pizza are part of this super continent of hedgehog foods. The great exceptions to the sandwich model in New York are Asian hedgehog foods, dumplings and noodle soups, clearly because East Asians are mostly bereft of bread. (Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) are an exception to the exception, thanks to French colonialism and the imperial baguette.) Another significant group of non-sandwich hedgehog places are chicken joints of one sort or another, rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, Korean fried chicken, hot wings.
Every region of the country, probably every region of the world, has its own set of hedgehog foods and their single-minded purveyors. American examples that are not available in New York include spiedies, kebab-like chunks of marinated, grilled meat that are served on the bread used to grab them off their skewers. A couple of spiedies stands are found in Binghamton, NY and almost nowhere else. All-you-can-eat fried catfish parlors are scattered across the South. Cincinnati has chili parlors that serve a particular style of Greek or Macedonian inspired chili, usually combined with spaghetti, grated cheese and minced onion. Chicago and cities of the southwest have birria or birrieria places, which specialize in goat tacos. Certainly hundreds and perhaps thousands of hedgehog dishes are prepared around the world by tiny operations in the street and markets and holes in walls. The vast majority of these foods remain local phenomena but some are exported, usually by emigrant populations, initially for their own consumption, then for the locals as well. Some few, like pizza, tacos, ramen and hamburgers have spread across the globe without the aid of local immigrant customer bases.
It is our observation that we are witnessing the flowering of a golden age of hedgehog foods, at least in New York City. A detailed survey of Lower Manhattan would reveal that dozens of hedgehog food outlets have opened for business in recent months and that the pace of expansion is accelerating. Dozens of neo-hamburger-joints and dozens of creperies and swarms of hand pulled noodle shops and Vietnamese sandwich places have lately materialized. This phenomenon is energized by two factors. One is the still growing intensity and confidence of New York's immigrant populations. The remaking of the City that began with the new, non-discriminatory immigration law of 1965 has steadily gained momentum as Latin Americans, East and South Asians have established neighborhoods and visibly projected their cultures. The other factor doesn't really have a name but is partially expressed by the terms "Brooklyn culinary movement" and "artisanal food". The idea of creating foods using organic/local/farm raised ingredients and either innovative or antique processing (or some combination of the two) has given rise to many hipster outlets based on a single re-invented food.
Let's start this column with an intentionally incomplete list of NY hedgehog foods paired, almost randomly, with one of their providers. [These
places are not being nominated as the best, or even a particularly good, purveyor of its particular food, just one that fits the definition we're using.]
A couple of qualifications:
1) We are not including desserts or beverages–ice cream, donuts, coffee, juices, etc., in this celebration/survey. Let's stay with savory hedgehog foods. And, 2) admittedly, there's a lot of grey area between foxes and hedgehogs, and most hedgehogs serve a few things outside their specialization. So, there's a bit of subjectivity involved in deciding whether a given place is sufficiently Ahab-like to belong in this column.

Update on NarantuyaMrs. Narantuya, 39 years old, lives with her husband and four children in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. The family resides in their own small wooden house on fenced land. She and her husband have been rendering a taxi service to local people since 2005 and accumulated a vast amount of experience in this field.
During spring time when the graduation ceremony of university students occurs, demand for flowers and souvenirs increases drastically so she is requesting a loan of 2,500,000 MNT (Mongolian tugriks) to order the above mentioned items from China.
Narantuya, using her previous loan, has built a small barn as an extension to their house for heat preservation and paid each installment on the established schedule without delay. The borrower is a very hardworking and trustworthy individual who strives for a better future.
Previous Loan DetailsNarantuya is 38 years old and has worked as a taxi driver nonstop since 2005. Her husband is running a taxi business, too. Her family consists of six members: her husband and four children, They live in their small wooden house in the ger district, an area with no running water, minimal roads, ...

Additional Information
About Credit MongolCredit Mongol is the largest non-banking financial institution (NBFI) in Mongolia. Its mission is to contribute to the prosperity of Mongolians by providing high-quality, affordable and varied financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It prioritizes serving remote, rural populations that have typically lacked access to credit and other financial services. Uniquely, it offers solar panel loans to nomadic herders, most of whom live without electricity.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

This was my third pair that I ordered for 2015 GMC Sierra Crewcab Diesel. This was the only set that fit and looks good. I didn't want composite nerf bars and these were Stainless Steel and look great!
