RIP Chango

As many of you may have heard by now, Chango is closed. out of business. doneski. It is a sad day (well, technically it was a sad day 2 or 3 weeks ago when it happened, but I only found out last wknd, and have been kinda busy since then).

As I reminisced with friends here in NY about all the wild, drunken afternoons spent pounding mimosas (btw, i know that sounds girly to anyone who hasn't been - but 20 mimosas is 20 mimosas), I was saddened by the fact that I didn't get to enjoy one last brunch there with my friends. Chango was like the girl next door - comfortable, fun to be around, and there whenever you needed her. Unfortunately, she was also taken for granted. Then, you wake up one day and poof, she's gone. No note, no explanation (no "one last time").

So, while it's long overdue, thank you Chango for all you've done for me and my friends over the last few years. We'll miss you. (Big Daddy's Diner, btw, can go to hell)
