Desi Galli

Trying to find the website of newly opened Desi Galli, we inadvertently discovered that "desi galli" will autocorrect to "desi ghati," which is some kind of code for "Indian porn." Don't believe us? Google away, friends. Nothing's stopping you except your office's firewall/IT team.

We recommend skipping the vada pav, as dry as it appears above, but we can vouch for the bhel puri, a mess of hot and sweet and sour and crispy, as well as the paneer bhurji roll, whose cheese goes melty like scrambled eggs.

Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum

On the one hand, the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum fetishizes machines of death and destruction. On the other, some of those machines are pretty damn cool. And as of last Thursday, it's home to one of the coolest machines of all, the space shuttle Enterprise.
