  1. I hate her so much. But she is the representative of a lot of people in the United States...
  2. New hotel recommendation for anyone coming to NYC. In 2022, the Hotel Chelsea reopened after a massive rennovation. Definitely a really cool slice of history. Went to Cafe Chelsea last night for dinner. Was really, really good. https://hotelchelsea.com/
  3. In addition to Stout... Horn’s Hook Tavern (Basketball and others) Horn’s Hook Tavern is our younger and smaller sister location for Texas Longhorns game watches. Located in the Upper East Side (UES), Horn’s Hook offers a more intimate space for alumni to gather and enjoy delicious food (definitely try the queso!) while watching Texas sports. We host watch parties for basketball, baseball, softball, and other games, in addition to Saturday football. Also, join us here to watch the NYC marathon each November as Horn’s Hook is conveniently located on the marathon course! Website: http://hornshooktavern.com/ Address: 1589 1st Ave., New York, NY 10028 Phone: (212) 879-1500 Alabama Alumni watch at the Ainsworth Midtown (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwk7Z6ivrDq/?hl=en)
  4. Good luck, Texas and other states. You are fucking around, and you are about to find out. I relish watching the flight of educated people from those states. Brain drain is real, and it is happening in Texas.
  5. You are breathtakingly obtuse. TexAgs is more your speed. Do us all a favor and post there.
  6. Something, something, not even with anything that has been in South Austin's mom's vagina.
  7. DeSantis' Presidential campaign is all but over. And I am guessing this Category 4 Hurricane hitting Florida is going to be the nail in that coffin. His response will be spectacularly bad. Always fun to see these folks who hate socialism beg the federal government to come bail their asses out.
  8. Will be fun watching them cry for the Federal Government to bail their asses out.
  9. I offered that article without comment, but this is only the second time I have rooted for cancer. Scalise is a piece of shit of the first order.
  10. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/29/politics/steve-scalise-blood-cancer/index.html
  11. The only good thing about the Post is Page Six.
  12. It’s the NY Post. It’s a print version of Fox News.
  13. I drive to Portsmouth, NH because I take my dog. But if you are going to Portland, ME, Fly. That drive would be at least 6 hours. Traffic can make it longer.
  14. I did the Rockettes with friends...it was very meh. Not my thing at all, but might be something you and she would like to do. Runs about 90 minutes. On Broadway, I recommend Six (it is only 90 minutes) and &Juliet. Empowered female characters and great music. Great for a girl her age. Spamalot will also be doing a revival at that time, but I think you would enjoy that more than her. Definitely get tickets to Six. Maybe see what else you want to do before tying up your time with tons of shows, but if you want to fit in a second, &Juliet is the right answer. I am not an ice skater, but dealing with the crowds at Rockefeller is a beating (I walk through there to get to my office). Book as soon as you can. Also, you can also skate at Bryant Park (Definitely get hot chocolate at Angelina while at Bryant Park and browse at the winter village). If Christmas Markets are your thing, the Union Square one is massive, but it and Bryant Park have similar vendors. Definitely see the windows. Bergdorf, IMO, has the best. But Bloomingdale's and Saks are also relatively close. You can make it a walk. If it snows before Christmas (which it has once since I have lived here), then Central Park is a great place to go hang out. If Art is something you guys are into, the Met is always a good idea. https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/upcoming Some good exhibits will be on in December. Probably tons more going on in December, but it is way too early to know about a lot of them. I am actually in London right before Christmas onboarding a new employee (and I am going to try and hit some Christmas markets the weekend before..thinking Cologne and Aachen).
  15. They are doing construction, so areas that are normally open are not open (I assume you mean the Lotte Palace). Usually, they have a massive Christmas Tree in the courtyard, but yeah. It is behind St. Patrick's, which is next door to Saks, so location is very, very good. The Peninsula is amazing at Christmas. Absolutely stunning. And the Plaza is always a good idea. Now, all those will be $$$$$ during Christmas, but definitely a memorable experience. And centrally located to experience everything you want. I love Edition hotels, and The Edition Times Square seems to not be so crazy expensive at the time you are thinking of coming up. The New York Edition is right at Madison Square Park, and is also a good bet, but more expensive.
