The other day, I went to Aveda over on 5th Ave and was thoroughly pleased.  I picked up free Aveda Shampoo and Conditioner with a coupon from PulseJFK.  While sticking in my purse, I signed up for a free blow-out on Wednesday (this is offered every Wednesday from 12-3pm).  On the way out I poured myself a nice hot cup of free Aveda tea, which is delicious and has a sweet hint of fennel.  It was great, thanks Aveda!

Now fans can see where in New York City the scenes of Ugly Americans take place using the new Interactive Map, complete with video clips and character icons created by Comedy Central.

Ugly Americans is a new horror comedy about New York City with horrifying beasts, science-fiction freaks, and fantasy faeries. This animated horror-comedy series follows one Mark Lilly, social worker at the Department of Integration, as he helps new citizens both human and “other” adapt to hectic life in the Big Apple.  There are easier tasks than weaning vampires off of blood, socializing land-whales, and housebreaking werewolves, but Mark is up to the challenge. Between his stressful job, a zombie roommate, and a demon ex-girlfriend, Mark’s lucky if he can sneak in a few minutes of sleep. But who can sleep when there’s a drop-dead gorgeous Mermaid sitting at the bar?
