Michael Jackson RIP mural downtown. By Moses Gates of All City New York.
First Look at Mantao Chinese Sandwiches (Serious Eats)
The sandwiches range from $2.50 to $4.50. They’re dainty things—you’d probably want two for a meal, although one makes a nice snack. The soft and fluffy sesame seed-topped bread is the best part about the sandwiches. The fillings, while not bad, are less memorable (right now, at least; hopefully they’ll improve with time).

Free “Click Clack Moo” kids musical attracts big talent (Post)
