As a big fan of Philly cheesesteaks (I once at a Pat’s and a Geno’s steak back to back), I’m always on the lookout for good cheesesteaks here in New York. New York magazine has an article rating the best ones in the city. I can vouch for Carl’s Steaks, but I haven’t tried the rest yet.

Looks like the Battlestar Galactica DVD set coming out in July, while converted to work on NTSC US TV’s, will be a 4 disc affair, while on September 20th there will be a release of the US set with a 5th disc, more commentary and more special features.

So I’m going to wait for the September 20th set. You can read the details of the September release here.

Update: you can order the US Battlestar Galactica DVD set from Amazon now.
