OH BENNY.....
This is BENNY, short for Bennito the Blimpus. He is one of those terrifically bizarre characters that lives in the East Village. Sometimes, BENNY allows me to accompany him on his adventures and chronicle his day. His partner in crimes and misdemeanors is FRANKY, The Flashing Ladybug. Follow these two if you would like ideas on what to see and do in the NYC, and, of course, what not to see and do in NYC.

FRANKY THE FLASHER IS TAPAS HUNGRY
FRANKY goes to Tia Pol in Chelsea with some lady friends. FRANKY loves the selection of tapas, especially the fire-salted blistering peppers. luckily for his fellow dinners the peppers weren't very spicy. there was no need for FRANKY THE FLASHER to cool down, exposing his personal pepper.

TRADGEY STRIKES BENNY (WARNING: GRAPHIC PICS)
here lies HECTOR THE PATCH. HECTOR and BENNY met in miami at a club. HECTOR was an aspiring pirate and BENNY was an aspiring dvd-pirate. they were both attempting to charm the same dame but ended-up charming each other instead. BENNY isn't sure what started the altercation since KILLER THE DOG is taking the 5th. poor HECTOR. RIP.

BENNY THINKS HE IS BANKSY
all over NYC you will find masterfully scribbles of every size, color, and artful creed. and if you have a keen eye, you will spot the masters' masters, like Banksy, Keith Haring, Dondi, Zephyr, Space Invader, Shepard Fairey, and, now, yes, BENNY. his incongruent line doodle is an addition to this grand cityscape. (yes, it's just a line. can you spot it?)

BENNY'S NEW YEAR VERGE
BENNY rings in the approaching 2012 year by attending a fabulous apartment party in alphabet city. he arrives deflated and down but that problem is quickly remedied with some bubbly and a drunk eager woman to blow him. BENNY prefers more privacy during such acts but he decides exhibitionism is the way of the future.

BENNY IS TRAPPED AT GRAND CENTRAL
i was heading out of town to CT and BENNY decided to accompany me to the station. I left his side to grab my ticket and returned to find BENNY in awe of the grandiose architecture, the hustling commuters and the lack of children slamming into platform walls hoping to find an american version of hogworts express.

BENNY SHOPS FOR BOWS AND BOXES
BENNY U.S. HOLIDAY MARKETS
BENNY procrastinates and shops for last minute gifts at the Union Sq holiday market. the mood is frantic. everyone is stressed and rushing. even for new yorkers it's an accelerated shit-storm of nerves. this is an action shot of a particularly frantic ny shopper bulldozing over BENNY. they both yell obscenities at each other and then go about their merry ways.
BENNY BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE XMAS

BENNY IS MAC N CHEESE PANCAKE HUNGRY
BENNY craves the 500+ schizophrenic delicious creations at Shopsin, now nestled within Essex Market. BENNY's go-tos are the tasty eclectic pancakes, egoistical egg-licious marvels, politically incorrect sandwiches and offensively superb rules and treatment. BENNY always goes hoping for a chance to spar with the master himself, the bitterly famous diner and insult-wielding genius Kenny Shopsin. no dice this time. but a close runner up to the true NY quirky experience, as he sits and waits for his "tots and dots", the chefs (one was probably a Shopsin foul-mouthed offspring) ask BENNY to man the utensils for a free meal. BENNY almost falls for it. close call BENNY.
