Gurney's used to be just awesome. It's had some fits of late and I had heard that there was a significant decline. That said, I believe it was recently bought out and either is, or soon will be, back to its former glory. Not sure it's especially kid friendly, but it's worth looking into.
Don't forget your time machine.Um...
Wife and I will be in the City saturday. Day club party, then nap, then we are open. Will stop in at some point at the least.

Ah yes. Didn't realize you had baggage. Pick up an umbrella stroller if you can. 20 bucks at babies r us in union square. The bjorn is awesome but you need a break.jwp said:
lol @ stop/frisk. As long as you're rich and/or white, move around the nice areas, and don't bring too much attention to yourself, you good. Live your f'in life...stop being such a paranoid p
You'd think the NY thread would be a bit more wise to sarcasm. I've never so much thought about being S&F'd (although Im sure the NSA will pass this along so I get pegged when I'm there next). It's not like they NYPD is lining up outside of a beaumarchais day party anyway... and my wife would be much more fun to frisk than I.
Yeap, you gotta drive slow homey. I only take 1-2 hits from a one hit vaporizer (save my lungs) and I'm good for an 1-2 hrs. It's like drinking beer your whole life and then throwing back some 151.
Took a client to the Rangers game this spring, as we walked up to MSG he torched a doobie. I was like WTH, it's been, what 18 years? Might be fun. We made it about 3/4s of the way across 31st Street across from the arena when two plains clothes guys came out of nowhere. They were smiling and joking around "Guys, it's not your ####### back yard. You could have gone right over there behind that bar. Yada yada yada." Shook hands and told us to have a good night.
Oh, and I def had the Louis CK experience that night. I was taking 1982 monster hits, not realizing how potent dope is these days. I thought for sure I was going to have a heart attack walking in, and the first period was a blur. About an hour later I could finally function semi-normally again.
I've been retelling that story for months, and I'm pretty sure I'm done for good. I was like f that, man. I just wanted a mellow buzz, not a double hit of purple microdot.Yeap, you gotta drive slow homey. I only take 1-2 hits from a one hit vaporizer (save my lungs) and I'm good for an 1-2 hrs.

F'n AARP
I remember 37. Damn that was a good year. I don't think I made it above 14th Street all year.
There are some other interesting choices on there though. Prospect is very near me and I've never been. I'll check it out.
Hmm, I guess I didn't ever come back in this thread... after all the planning/advice/suggestions from so many helpful FBG's last year, we didn't end up going. Both of our hotels were out of commission due to Sandy. We got full refunds and took a trip a little closer to home (Ottawa/Montreal). It was fun, but nothing new since I've been to both a few times.
Lower East Side there's a few chains with great prices on priceline/hotwire sites. There's def one spot near Delancey. This is the real NYC and you're a walk across the bridge from Brooklyn. Great location and very safe.
That place used to be a dump/drug/hooker spot and it's on a loud street full of hipsters. I lived in that area for 10 years and would never want to live on St. Marks btw 2/3. I'd rather pay $10-30 more and get a quality hotel on the Lower East Side that is backed by a national chain.
I think you are seriously out of touch with how much a hotel in NYC costs, please show me a place that costs $10 more after taxes/nyc fees/etc...
hotwire is your friend.....some FBGs have got some great deals on the LES through there
Hotwire's Downtown-Soho-Financial District area covers a lot of ground. It's good if you're flexible, do your research and have a bit of luck on your side. We got a good Hotwire rate the BW-Bowery Hanbee (at Grand & Bowery) a few years ago. It was a nice room and a decent Chinatown/LES location.
Like I said you are out of touch with how much hotels cost in NYC. I chose the 3 neighborhoods furthest south in NYC:
lol...i only travel there a few months a year so I don't know. You da man.
It might be time for some balance and I am not overly concerned about crime. While the policing policies and at times overly hard handed approach obviously played a huge role over the last 20 years, there is a lot more to NYCs safety than just policing. The economy, the resurgance of urban areas that brought with it more vibrancy and more dollars, the end of the crack era and the city's far better economic stading in contrast to the disaster of the late 70s played significant roles.
Just for the record, I checked out Hotwire to see if Jo Jo was knowledgeable or just a blabbering blubber of bullsh....it seems like it's the latter. Did a simple Hotwire search for Hot Rate hotels and about 50 hotels pop up in desirable locations throughout NYC (ranging from $110-150). My friend did this and got a great Holiday Inn type spot on the LES for $150. I suggest you do the same, smart guy!
We're not talking specific dates and referring to past FBG use and my bookings on Hotwire for great prices, that's all. Craigslist and AirBNB spots are great to save $ and get a cool apt on the cheap to get the NYC feel. Just watch out for scams and get folks with good reviews, etc.Just for the record, I checked out Hotwire to see if Jo Jo was knowledgeable or just a blabbering blubber of bullsh....it seems like it's the latter.

Search my dates - October 19-23, you'll find nothing in Manhattan, over 1* for less than $200
Wow you are obtuse, how many different date ranges did you have to search for to get comparable rates? I hope you enjoy your Monday through Wednesday visit. I searched Thursday night through Saturday, I even left off the expensive Saturday night for you. But go ahead and keep giving bad advice about what New York was like 10 years ago thinking you have a clue how much a weekend in New York at a national chain costs in 2013 after New York City hotel taxes ($3.50 per night plus 14.375% of room rental charges).Just for the record, I checked out Hotwire to see if Jo Jo was knowledgeable or just a blabbering blubber of bullsh....it seems like it's the latter.

All very true and I agree with De Blasio on some issues (stop and frisk) but my biggest concern is upcoming union negotiations where the unions are demanding over 7 billion in back pay. He has very close ties to the Unions and taxes are already very high in the city.
No doubt there are some stark contrasts between the two. Should be interesting. Go Joe!
get yourself a decent pair of $500 jeans and get back to me....also, stop being racist.

That article is basically my life (minus the being born here part). Hell- some of our best friends moved to Portland and are echoing everything written there.
Yeah those numbers do seem ridiculously low for a family for Manhattan, I believe they mean all 5 boroughs and possibly Hudson County (NJ), I can't find the exact article.
They are talking about 5 boroughs as the articile references Prospect Lefferts Gardens, which has really improved the last few years (doubt you are hearing gunshots) but is clearly not a prime area and definately the wrong borough to be manhattan only.
