not near the heliport around 30th st?'bout 20 minutes ago, as i'm walking to hop the train in Jersey to get back, i saw this rather large black helicopter (yeahi know) bookin' like a mofo over Midtown, and diving down at a pretty fast clip - loud as ####, to boot - looked to be descending up around Riverside - anyone else??? Bueller?
(yeahyeah been seeing 'copters all my life 'round here, but this looked straight outta 'Blackhawk Down')
from my view across the River, it looked to be starting it's descent around there (Midtown)... it was further Uptown when i lost sight of it
You should have called me otb...our F-15 could have taken care of business!'bout 20 minutes ago, as i'm walking to hop the train in Jersey to get back, i saw this rather large black helicopter (yeah

dunno, man ... but, buddy of mine who rarely posts on FB took the time to toss up 3 pics of a squadron of helicopters buzzing around lower Manhattan last night ... he was in Liberty State Park (Jersey City), and was taken aback enough to not only take pics, but to also post them (he's been here his whole life, as well).You should have called me otb...our F-15 could have taken care of business!
Srsly, any word on the reasoning yet?
Could Trump Tower as WH North have anything to do with the increase of such traffic lately?
Your guarantee is right. And you are doing it exactly how you should.
I had to do this about 3 months ago - was sitting by the ramp to get to LGA and hadn't moved more than 300 feet in about 25 minutes. Got out and tailed it to the airport.
Zero traffic, 17 minutes to get here, of course...I'm in the taxi 20 minutes behind schedule, nonetheless, Waze saying 20 minutes - prob get to sit in an airport for 2 hours
hope ya had some ankle weights on and rocks in yer pockets ? - think i saw Gigi Hadid blowin' down 5th ave ...just hit 3,000 miles on Citibike.
Icitibike. only thing in the city that's happened for non-rich folk.
I wish there were more bike riders like you. I am so fed up with bike riders going the wrong direction down a 1 way street (so I don't see them because I don't expect traffic to be going in the wrong direction) and bike riders who run red lights and have no regard for people walking.just hit 3,000 miles on Citibike.

Feels like I've been hearing of these LGA traffic horror stories for a year already.
thanks man- tbh, I wish everybody followed the same basic logic most of us in here do... would make for an easier life.
I know you're two totally different people, but the R ending with a number is co-joined into one poster in my noggin.
hearing great things about the new Antique Bar/Bakery down on Willow (between 1st & 2nd) - ya been yet?
sort this out please.
Not personally (we have a one month old, so this is way off the radar right now) but friends went a couple weeks ago and really liked it. They live nearby and always went in for bread pretty much daily so guess there's a chance of bias, but like you have heard plenty of good buzz.
1. There probably is but asking a jaywalker to yield kind of seems like a losing proposition.
1... I jay walk all the time, but- and I admit this is energy spent that nobody will ever give a crap about- I always yield to the people crossing with the light. means I have to stop just at the curb to let them by if need be. was wondering if anybody thinks or cares about this at all.
I pretty much assume every other aho!e walking down the street is oblivious to the world around them and act accordingly. Rules be damned, I look for the quickest, safest path. Like Frogger.
ahhh, congrats on the newborn!
did you deliver at the old St. Mary's? (HUMC)
Belated thanks. Wife delivered at St. Barnabas in Livingston, as that's where her normal doc works. They were awesome BTW. Huge private rooms were key.goo
ahhh, congrats on the newborn!
i'm over there at least a couple times per week, but usually finish my biz up by four at the latest, which seems a bit early for a swank ? joint like that - ergo, i haven't popped in yet - if I do decide to grab a few beers on the way home it's usually at one of the jernts on the way to the PATH with an early happy hour (Green Rock, Scotland Yard) or i pop on over to the always charming Wilton House (best drinking bar in Hoboken, imo) ?
once the weather gets nicer, and the days get a bit longer, i'll make it a point to spend some time there - hopefully it stays around awhile, it's in a very outta the way locale, and not the typical Hoboken fare.
Did they mention a kid born there almost 45 years ago with an abnormally large pecker? That was me.
Far more incompetent. The MTA is hamstrung by politicians deferring maintenance by not providing appropriate funding... hard to have everything run on time when your 100 year old infrastructure breaks down. DOE is, from what I know, just a disaster. One of the greatest factors for young families to get out of the city, even as they want urban living more than ever.
Yes - I've already been working through the system all day, I hate these people... You have to email, nobody that answers the phones is of any use. Nobody returns emails either, 4x already.
Both of my kids will be in private school come fall. It's blood money, but I can't deal with the public ed game in this town. Even if we "win" the public ed game, in Brooklyn the prize is substandard.
I'm surrounded by 3 of the best schools in Brooklyn and they send me an offer for a school that ranks in the bottom 30%.
PS 8, 29, 58, and to a lesser extent 261 are all good schools.
So 4 school out of how many? I'm not in those districts. My kids have 3 teachers and an on staff OT/PT therapist to 24 kids now. Best case at one of those public school is 2 teachers to 30. So yes, I've undergone a procedure that allows me to #### precious metal. It's a co-op school, so I only #### silver.
