...those of you who don’t know, American Apparel is a store that almost entirely consists of t-shirts, tube tops, and spandex pants in neon colors. It came into vogue with the faux-socialist hipster crowd because it doesn’t use sweatshops to make said shirts, tube tops, and neon pants...
...pretty jaded, but I had no idea that peoplewere getting sick of restaurants. Apparently, though, hipster foodies in cities from Portland, Ore., to Melbourne, Australia, find the whole look-at-the-menu, eat-the-food, pay-the-check monotony so soul crushing that they're taking refuge in underground restaurants arranged by groups like the Oakland, Calif., outfit Ghetto Gourmet.

A five-dollar pita plate came loaded with a zesty hummus and a spread of freshly sliced cucumber, red onions, tomatoes, and bean sprouts—a healthy offering that nicely complemented the Monkey Wrench, a turkey-avocado-dill confection. At least five of the cafe’s standard sandwiches are vegetarian, and high marks go to the “Tune Up”—tuna, red onions, and tomatoes served...
