Ten Things that Should Be Wiped from the Face of the Earth
- Wine bars.
- Celebrity weeklies.
- Sleep coaches for babies.
- Of-the-moment phrases used to describe an ostensibly important bloc of voters, such as “Soccer Mom” (the O.G.) or “NASCAR Dad.”
- Strollers that in their bulkiness and unwieldiness recall WWII troop carriers.
- Untucked dress shirts and the men that wear them “out.”
- The Crate and Barrelization of Manhattan (and, increasingly, Brooklyn).
- The word “luxury,” and everything to which that word is attached.
- The trapper hats everyone seems to be wearing.
- Cigar bars.

Wine bars? Are there still those? Brings back college memories when hit the "wine for a dime" bars...drunk on 2 bucks...ahhh, the good ole' days.
When you say "trapper hat," do you mean those Elmer Fudd-type hats of red and black plaid with fold down earflaps and lined with coyte fur?
Trapper hats are the greatest thing that man (and beast, I guess, as they typically provide the materials) has ever fashioned.
Wear one and prepare yourself for your world to be turned upside-down and put to rest in a toasty, all-encompassing fur headpiece.
Mmmmmm... trapper hats...
Hunter - so I finally posted a new blog.
Only took me three weeks, right?
Anyway - it's there.
BRO,
scram
So people actually sport trapper hats around the streets of Manhattan?
No, I mean the type of trapper hats that look like the dog van that the guy in Dumb & Dumber drives. And yes, people are really wearing these. It's one of the stupider looks of this -- or any -- winter season.
I've gone to a Crate and Barrel with you in NY. Let it be known.
