BOOK, ARTICLE, or STORY: While at the beach I read “Here Is New York” by E.B. White. This beautifully written piece illustrates how much has changed but yet still remains the same in the city that never sleeps.

MUSIC: Arcade Fire’s new album “The Suburbs” was released last week. I’ve listened to it a good bit and it is definitely worth your money.

Also, I saw lots of amazing performances last weekend at Lollapalooza. I’ll recap my highlights on Tuesday or Wednesday night along with an awesome video from The National’s aftershow I attended.

VIDEO: In honor of Shark Week enjoy this little video.

FOOD: Let’s just say, Chicago has some amazing food!

Friday night after Lollapalooza we picked up a meat lovers pizza from the famous Geno’s East Pizzeria. Honestly, this was the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this pizza was so to better help you understand Geno’s greatness watch this video from Man vs. Food.

On Saturday morning I had an incredible breakfast at Ann Sather’s. I went on a cinnamon roll overload! For starters, I had a side of their amazing cinnamon rolls followed up by the main course, “French Toast Fantasy”. The “French Toast Fantasy” is 2 giant marscarpone-filled cinnamon rolls dipped in french toast batter, grilled to perfection with granola, blueberries, and strawberries on top. If you’re ever in Chicago you have to check out Ann Sather!

Hello all! It’s time to recap my favorites in music, food, tv, movies, and more from the past week.

Music: I’m really loving Arcade Fire’s new single “Suburbs” from their upcoming album by the same name. LISTEN HERE.

I also spent a good amount of time listening to the new (old) album, “The Medicine“, from John Mark McMillan. Great, honest stuff.

Books: I haven’t had too much time to read lately but I have been slowly moving through Seth Brogan & Julien Smith’s book, Trust Agents. Highly recommended for anyone working in social networking and online media.

TV: Mad Men returned tonight and was without a doubt the TV highlight of my week. I also spent time catching up on my favorite cooking show, Dinner With The Band. DWTB airs Tuesday nights at 10:30 p.m. on IFC

Food: I swung by Twin Oaks in Bridgeport after a friend’s wedding for an amazing pizza. I went with the pepperoni and sausage. Always amazing.

Picture: Here is my favorite picture from the week. Unlike the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, do you dislike the font comic sans? If so, then this picture is for you.
