Sighted by Andrew Abides from the Wall Street Journal:
"Renting an apartment in Hoboken, N.J., Mr. Vujacic longs for the companionship of his fiance, the Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova, who travels throughout the year. He devotes much of his time to reading and studying basketball videos and he misses the familiarity and comfort of his Manhattan Beach home.
'I've been waiting five days to have the heater in my apartment fixed,' he said."
When Mr. Abides brought this to my attention this morning, I felt terribly for Sasha. How could anyone be so sad living in a city chock full pizza parlors, Irish pubs, young, white, investement bankers, and Eli Manning?
Frank Sinatra is from Hoboken. Baseball was invented in Hoboken. Some of the most glorious Manhattan views can be seen from Hoboken.
Also, if it's so bad he should consider Weehawken. Which is where Vince Carter lived, and witnessed the Hudson River plane crash in person, when he was a Net.
So cheer up Sasha! Turn off the basketball videos for awhile, grab yourself a burger from Five Guys, and embrace wonderful Hoboken.
Think Sasha ever takes the PATH to the arena? If so, you think he ever runs into Thierry Henry heading to Red Bull Stadium?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about Yo La Tengo!
ReplyDeleteLet's start a new feature called "Here's What Sasha Should Do In Hoboken Today".
ReplyDeleteIf we did that, today's feature would be, "Go for a nice jog along the river."
ReplyDeleteCause it's a nice day finally. Plus don't forget about those Hudson River views!
Pete, unless Sharapova's in town for Valentine's Day. Then we'd probably suggest a romantic dinner at Amanda's Restaurant, located at 908 Washington Street.
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely. What do you think he'd order? Probably one of the beef items, I imagine. Not sure about Sharapova though, I see her as more of a seafood type.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you may be right about that. And they're splitting a bottle of white wine and the muscles appetizer FOR SURE. But they'll both hold off on the dessert.
ReplyDeleteWhite wine, or red? After dinner drinks?
ReplyDeletePost-game tonight? White wine and aperitifs. If the heater in his apt. is broken, maybe they'll spend the night at the W???
ReplyDeleteHoboken and New Jersey are garbage
ReplyDeletestnarcissus: He's absolutely heading to the well-heated W tonight. After this Spurs blowout loss he's going to post up at the bar and down a few Glenfiddiches or even a Strega or two. He'll just be looking to forget.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Nice comment. KILLIN' IT with the comment. Pete, you get a load of this guy's comment?! He's the man with that comment right there.
As someone who has done the opposite move of Sasha - from Hoboken, NJ to Los Angeles - I have to agree that Hoboken has a lot to offer. For instance, Robongi sushi will deliver delicious fresh sushi to your door in less time than it takes to watch an episode of 30 rock on Hulu. You don't even have to talk to them on the phone. You can order it on the Internet and not talk to anybody.
ReplyDeleteYes, couldn't agree more with stnarcissus, I'm sure that he's on a first name basis with the W staff at this point. They probably know his drink order.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Anonymous goes, fuckin' love it.
Seriously, Andrew's right, your the man. Please keep it up with the sick comments. Fuck yes, Anonymous.
Juice is Loose, I've never ordered from them, good stuff? Perhaps Sasha would enjoy the California rolls to make him feel more at home?
Leo's at Grand & 2nd!! http://leosgrandevous.com
ReplyDeleteLeo's is a good call. I haven't been yet, but I know Sasha's teammate Anthony Morrow recently tweeted that it's his favorite restaurant in the area. I know that becuase I'm a nerd.
ReplyDeleteSee Sasha, the other guys love Hoboken!
Oh yeah, and Anonymous: Still love that comment, buddy!
If we go to Leo's this week, Sasha, you in? Let us know and we'll work around your schedule. We'll abide.
ReplyDeleteSasha Vujacic fills his time by having sex with men for money in Hoboken restaurant bathrooms when Sharapova isn't around. His ass is garbage.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous from 2/23: Thanks for commenting! We love our readers to be passionate! But unless you can quote reliable sources on that, we're going to have to disregard your report. My biggest problem here is the idea he'd need the extra cash. But seriously, bud, WHY SO GRUMPY?! I think that's the line from The Dark Knight...
