Confronting a Bad Writer at the Strand and HMart Love.

Well folks another wintry week (or two) and we're back at it. This week we look at:

-HMart the suddenly semi-ubiquitous Korean grocery. Asian shopping minus the toads and loogie hockers.

-Phil considers hijacking a book panel at the Strand.

-You know all that street construction? Is it all bullshit? And other street perils: dangling steel girders, Mexican scaffold workers, and double parked Ubers.

-The depressing list of mayoral contenders.
