  1. Damn mainstream media, trans, and colleges.
  2. Thank god for the mosquito vote.
  3. One stop away, might have to make an appearance.
  4. We've always wanted to do a pizza tour on the way back from seeing a show, so this time we're going to get off at Christopher St and get a slice at all three of Joe's, Bleecker Street, and John's of Bleecker Street. We've eaten at the Joe's on Fulton, so might skip that one if we're too full.
  5. We always stay at the Frederick across the street but wanted a bit bigger of a room this time. Absolutely my favorite location to stay in the in city with it being right next to the 1, 2, and the 3 with the A and the C being a block away. The pizza at Little Italy Pizza on Chambers and Church is serviceable if you want a late-night bite and don't want to take the train. Los Tacos No. 1 at Church and Warren is always our first stop after dropping off the bags. There's a bookstore on Warren that only sells mysteries and is fun for a stop. Another fun little store is Philip Williams Posters on Chambers. We consider this part of Tribeca to be home for a week or so every year. We love that it clears out most weeknights as people commute out.
  6. We're staying at the Smyth in Tribeca in a couple of weeks for less than $450 a night and that's with a 300sqft room and on the weekend. I guess it depends on when you go.
  7. I have a lot more left than I thought. Any suggestions on what to read next? Besides Pet Sematary which I'm saving for later.
  8. If you're putting something together then I'd probably be interested in a portion. Unless you're wanting one person to do the full $30K, which wouldn't be me.
  9. I think his newer stuff like Billy Summers shows he's lost a bit of it when writing young characters. He did a great job with The Long Walk, but of course he was a kid when he wrote it. Finished Under the Dome and loved it. I like a big, epic, cast of characters.
  10. NYC Marathon is today.
  11. Can't say Wemby isnt emotionally invested. Team seems to have some great old man chemistry going.
  12. I did the same thing looking beer in Vancouver this summer. Not for sale in the grocery store and had to go to a liquor store.
  13. I used to run with a black guy and one day he stopped in the middle of our run and said, "You know you're white, and I have one question about white people that I've never had answered. What's up with birdwatching?" I didn't have an answer for him other than, "Yeah, shit, that does seem weird now that I think about it."
  14. Google maps makes it seem alright today. Weekends also look pretty nice being 3hrs from NYC, 1 from Providence, 2 to Boston, 3 to the Hamptons, 3 to Martha's Vineyard, 4 to Philadelphia, etc... It would take me a few years to get through all of that.
  15. Technically it has more gross tonnage.
  16. Well, it's like the Capulets and the Montagues
  17. TV's Frank? What's next, Dr. Clayton Forrester for President?
  18. Just sticking it to the Japs in ways that that limp wristed haberdasher from Missouri couldn't dream of.
  19. My god, not speaking the language of my neighbors sounds like a dream.
  20. Oh yeah it won't be right, but it'll be good.
  21. These nuts are really solid to use as a base for making actual Chongqing Chicken, so thanks for the rec.
  22. They serve more people faster, but I think I still spend more time there to get bad chicken than I do as the only car in the Popeye's DT.
  23. Leading by 3 points in the race for the governorship.
  24. Alright I've bought the Yaks for my land in Zapata County. When does the money train start?
