Do you have an emergency vehicle? :no: Anyway, isn't it walkable from your house?

:D good memory.That was to downtown. Looking to get to midtown.

What a mess. I have to get into my office in Union Square tomorrow one way or another. I have to file payroll but our servers are down so I can't log in and get the information I need. It may be a while before power returns there.

Yeah, my wife was able to run her payroll from home yesterday. She's hoping to get in today to get the servers up. Looks like an early morning commute tomorrow to get her into the city.
 
What about LIRR? It's a mess out here, though I don't see anything brutal driving around. Something like 80-85% of the Island lost power. I'm running back and forth to my car where I have one of those plug in outlets to keep an iPad, phone and Verizon mifi going.

They really need to invest in more underground utilities here in the burbs , and yes I understand the cost ramifications. But we are getting far more storms like this now than ever during fall and winter and the money spent on repairs alone is really high. Time for better infrastructure, at least piece by piece.

 
Should add, only concern is with no electricity there's no heat, gonna get chilly overnight. Thank god we t least have a gas stove so we can cook.

Link?I just watched the presser, they're refusing to give timetables.Free MTA buses starting today at 5 pm on a limited basis.Looking at an SUV crossover vehicle with it's back bumper resting on a blue mail drop box.Ironically, the New York Aquarium (which, if you have been to, is below sea level - it's down below the Coney Island boardwalk) was covered with water.
 
Not too bad driving into and out of the city over the Queensborough Bridge. I wish it was always that easy.

I don't doubt it....those pics were :shock: Hope you guys get going sooner along with the MTA. Too much $ being lost.Edit: Wow, just saw coverage of some of the downtown subway stations. No telling how long it's going to take with all that flooding. Looks like only certain segments will be running for a while.

Got up an hour early to drive my wife in to work. Absolute madhouse on the Queesnborough Bridge at 6AM. People driving like total lunatics. WTF is the hurry! At 7am the LIE looks like total gridlock all the way back to the Van Wyck at least.

 
I'm a big fan of The River Cafe, next to the Fulton Ferry landing in Brooklyn. Absolutely one of the best go to places for a romantic night out or to celebrate a milestone.

It was practically destroyed Monday night.

"millions of dollars worth of damage"

:kicksrock:

The owner/founder (35 years) lives in Brooklyn Heights, and had stayed until early Monday evening. I can't imagine what he was feeling as he walked down the big hill towards Old Fulton Tuesday morning.

Do they really need to go through with the marathon this weekend? The police and fire depts don't have enough to do?

IMO it proves a point. No matter what the city faces, it still goes on as normal if it can. It's why I adore it so much and why it's the example for all other U.S. cities to follow. :2cents:

#### the symbolism. They should postpone it for a week or two or just cancel it. It's an absolute madhouse trying to get in and out of the city. Shutting down any of the major arteries is just insane. Gas lines are out of control. People are really getting angry and in some cases, violent. Let the city get back to some normalcy before shutting portions of it down for a race. A lot of people are still suffering. Normally takes me about 10 minutes to get into the city by car. We left at 4:45 this morning and weren't even close to the bridge an hour and a half later. They've imposed a 3 person minimum carpool. We didn't get there in time so my wife had to take a chance on the limited subway service that started at 6am. Haven't heard back so I'm assuming she's on her way.
 
I don't think it's about proving a point. I think it's about having the resources to do it and wanting to get it done. ING pays a lot of money to sponsor it, too, and this marathon is going to get a lot more attention than probably any other in it's history. It's not really all the much of an inconvenience from a driving standpoint. And what are the police and firefighters going to be prevented from doing if they're helping with the marathon? I don't see why it's such a big deal.

 
All I'm saying is it could be postponed a week or two at least. Now you're going to close the Verrazzano, Pulaski and 59th St. Bridges on Sunday with all the insanity already going on trying to get in and out of the city. Give the people a little bit of a break and allow things to settle down. It hasn't even been a week yet. It won't affect me either way. I love the race and watch it every year. I just think a little sympathy is in order. People are still struggling to get back on their feet.

I tend to agree with this. We are not talking about some event that relates to bettering people's welfare. This isnt something even like a convention of true national importance. Nor is it something that will lift people's spirits after an event, ala baseball and football after 9/11 and "coming together" as a nation while forgetting our troubles for a few hours. Simply put, it will inconvenience a City already terribly inconvenienced without that much upside imo.If anything, lets be "New Yorkers" enough not to feel like we need to hold the race just to be tough New Yorkers.

Staten Island Councilman James Oddo: 'Idiotic' to divert cops to New York Marathon right after Hurricane Sandy

Desperately needed food, water and generators were being rushed Thursday to Sandy-ravaged Staten Island while local leaders blasted the city’s “idiotic” plan to stage the New York City Marathon in the midst of the crisis.

Staten Island Councilman James Oddo urged Mayor Bloomberg to reconsider, especially while rescue efforts are still underway on the hard-hit South Shore.

"The notion of diverting even one police officer, one first responder, one asset away from this carnage is beyond irrational,” the Republican lawmaker told The Daily News.

"The mayor said to me, 'We're not going to diminish what is happening on Staten Island.' You know what happens on marathons - you put a cop on every corner. How are we going to have enough resources?"

The anger expressed by Oddo, who went so far as to blast Sunday’s marathon plans as “idiotic” on his Facebook page, was echoed by another Republican, state Sen. Andrew Lanza.

"This is an example of what infuriates us," Lanza said. "We have people still in water, families displaced, people wondering where their grandparents are."

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, said she agrees with Staten Islanders on the marathon.

"I'll be seeing the mayor later today," she said. "I'll express my concern."

The outrage over the marathon came after Borough President James Molinaro practically begged for help for what locals call the “forgotten borough.”

"We have the worst tragedy that's ever happened in Staten Island, and I'd say New York City, since 9/11," said Molinaro. "We need help … We need food, we need clothing, we need everything you can possibly think of."

"We have hundred and hundreds of people in shelters. How do we handle them? Where do they go?"

Sen. Chuck Schumer said FEMA has already dispatched 10 truckloads of disaster relief supplies and the Caterpillar company has donated 200 badly-needed generators to get the juice back on.

"No place suffered worse than Staten Island," Schumer said. "Staten Island bore the brunt of it like almost nobody else and we need the federal government to step up to the plate.”

Knocked by the powerful storm into the Stone Age, hungry Staten Islanders were told to gather for free food and water from the city at 3 p.m. at two drop off points: Mill Road and New Dorp Ln., and at an empty lot at Yetman Ave. and Hylan Blvd.

Help, however, was hard to find the struggling New Dorp section, where families returning to inspect their home forded through knee deep water with tears in their eyes.

One man, who had spent three days working around the clock at Staten Island Hospital, found the first floor of his home on Cedar Grove St. complete destroyed. But at least he still had something. Two doors down, there was nothing where a home once stood and the woman who once lived there said she’d had enough and was moving to Pennsylvania.

Con Ed reported that 114,000 customers on Staten Island have been without power since the storm struck on Monday, roughly 65 percent of the island.

Staten Island has been the scene of some of the most heartbreaking storm-related devastation, especially on the South Shore where numerous trapped residents had to be rescued and at least 14 out of the city's 36 fatalities were on the island. Hundreds of homes -- from multi-million-dollar mansions to modest bungalows-- have been damaged and dozens of streets are impassable due to downed trees and buckled roads.

And Thursday morning, police found the bodies of two boys, ages 2 and 4, who were swept out of their horrified mother’s arms when waves of water crashed into their SUV on Father Capodanno Boulevard. The bodies of Connor and Brandon Moore were found in a marsh at the end of McLaughlin St. near where they disappeared.

Everybody else ok?

We are finally a fully operational death star down here in the EVil. Heading to Whole Foods Bowery... wish me luck.

 
So on my way to work this morning, walking from the EVil to Union Square, I see up the sidewalk a lunatic walking my direction. Babbling to himself angrily, literally frothing at the mouth, jaw clenched tightly while talking, gesticulating with the hands like he's doing kabuki on speed. As he's walking by, I hear him saying over and over- ####### people don't know how to walk on the ####### sidewalk. what're ya, animals?!

And I immediately thought of this.

eta: dammit, can't remember how to link to an exact post... this=this:

'El Floppo said:
So NV- just remember that our sidewalks are like your streets. Don't stop in the middle of one to look at your map or makeout. Find a urine soaked doorway instead; I need to get by so I can get home to emotionally bully my kids.

Also- unless you're from England, just follow the same rules of the road on our sidewalks you'd use at home on your streets. Stay to the right. Pass on the left. Always assume somebody is behind you and wants to pass. Don't walk down the middle of the sidewalk arm and arm... that's an open invitation to an impromptu game of Red-Rover. In fact, don't walk down the middle of the sidewalk- stay to the freaking right. And don't look us in the eye.

Getting into LAG about 1130am. Is it nuts to try to check in on the UWS, then shoot over to the Meadowlands and watch some of the Jests just so I can say I've been there? If not, still looking for a good neighborhood bar to relax and watch Sunday football at.TIA

Brother Jimmy's (good if solo, ok food), or Bourbon St for cheap beers (no food), Blondies if in a group (good wings)
 
Stayed down in Soho area (well, on Varick, not sure what it's called there, just west of SoHo?) this past weekend, a couple suggestions:

Meme Restaurant - a great little Mediterranean place on Hudson between 11th and 12th. Owned by Moroccan / Israelies, it's really really good, and moderately priced. Smallish place, can get in quick or dine if you want, very authentic.

Double Seven Lounge on Gansevoort - While it's in the bridge and tunnel centric meatpacking district, this place rocked. A slightly older and more sophisticated crowd in a lounge setting with DJ. Gets dancing but not a "dance club" - apparently it can be very difficult to get into, but oddly there are no lines (maybe they don't play the stupid game of having people stand in line who will never get in to show how cool they are?). Wife and I got there a bit before midnight, and bouncer was really cool, asked if it was just me and my girl and no one else (asked three times) and kindly let us in. Really cool vibe in there, so much so may consider it for my 40th birthday. Not cheap but not that bad either (although they include a 20% tip in their charge).

Stayed at the Marriott Courtyard on Varick - not a bad little hotel. Great location in that its a few blocks away from West Village and up to Meatpacking and just a few blocks away from the heart of SoHo and with everything so compact in the area, close to pretty much everything with a little walk (in nice weather, ie Village, LES, Financial District isnt too far etc). Now, I get the Marriott discount so no idea what the normal rates are and it's certainly nothing special, but nice location if maybe you can priceline or something for a good rate.

Blondies you have to arrive early. Place fills up.There's some good bars to watch games down in Hells Kitchen: Landsdowne Road and Mr Biggs are where I've been most often. In the village, Dempsey's is good. Awesome nachos that feed a family.

Just for reference, I hung out at the Spring Lounge one rainy day and really liked the vibe. But I don't remember it being a place with a few TVs to watch games. I'll look at the places you mention, thanks!

yeah, you stayed in more of a no man's land area but you're sandwiched between Soho, West Village and Tribeca so it's not a bad location.Double Seven can be good depending on the night. It's often dead empty (if you get there early before 1am or so) so don't get your hopes up. And as Koya said, don't go to these nice clubs or lounges with a bunch of dudes if you don't know the door guy. Either go solo and meet your friends there or bring a girl or two. Small groups are better than large groups unless you want to buy bottles. They normally don't have lines so if they tell you no or to wait and it's been longer than 15 minutes, chances are you're not getting in no matter how long you wait.

 
So my office has been relocated to mid-town due to flooding caused by Sanday. Anyone have any recommendations for good lunch spots in the area near Rockfeller Center. Looking for stuff on the less expensive side as I of course can fine Le Bernadin. Doubt there are many that fall into that range but would be interested in any intel.

Thanks

Major - Any suggestions for similar lounges? Not the bridge and tunnel 21-25 year old cheesy dance scene but something a bit more refined and better paced? Really enjoyed our time there. Very little ##### factor, the bouncer and everyone there was cool, nice setting and still danceable music for my gal.

your best bet are the bodega type places. There's a decent one a few buildings west of 56th & 6th ave. They have good hot lunch specials at cheap prices.

Maybe you want to try the China Club?
 
I'm taking the family to New York from December 27th to January 1st. It will be my wife and I (our 20th anniversary) and our three kids (14 (girl), 16 (girl), 18 (boy)). The flight and hotel are booked (staying at The Roger - if anyone has info on this hotel, please let me know. We got it through Priceline).

I've been to Manhattan four or five times on business, so I know my way around a little bit. I've tried to avoid the tourist stuff though, because we had plans to come to NY for awhile.

Here are some thoughts on what we will do and where we will eat. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Tourist stuff:

Empire State Building

Statue of Liberty

9-11 Memorial

Broadway Show (any ideas on getting tickets?)

Times Square for New Year's Eve

Shopping - 5th Ave. and Macy's

Central Park

Grand Central Station

Eating:

Nathan's

Katz's

Carnegie Deli

Pizza (need suggestions for good slices) - I've done Patsy's and Grimaldi's and we have a Grimaldi's here in Phoenix, so I'd like to try something different

Steakhouse - I've done Peter Luger's, Keen's, and The Palm. I am thinking about Peter Luger's because that was my favorite, but other suggestions are welcomed

Bagels

Food Cart - I had some amazing chicken and rice thing, but forget where it was. It had a really spicy sauce and a white cool sauce. Any good suggestions?

Cupcake shop / bakery

Italian - would like a really old school Italian place

So, anything you guys can tell me to help me out would be awesome. Am I missing any big tourist things? Is this too much to do in four days? Not enough?

Our hotel is near the Empire State Building, but we are not afraid of walking and cabbing.

TIA

Broadway Show (any ideas on getting tickets?) TKTS have reduced price tix...one location in Times Square, on downtown...here's the website: http://www.tdf.org/TDF_ServicePage.aspx?id=56

Eating:

Pizza (need suggestions for good slices) - For slices, Joe's off of 6th Ave and Carmine is very good, though it's small and not terribly conducive to a large family...Around the corner is John's on Bleecker, which is a sit down place that I really like...Both are basically in the heart of Greenwich Village so are around other stuff to do

Cupcake shop / bakery - Magnolia Bakery is the famous place, but I like Sweet Revenge, which happens to be around the corner from Joe's and John's Pizza...They also serve beer/wine which is nice

As far as old school Italian, I like Il Cortile...Best place in Little Italy IMO, and you can walk around and see the Little Italy sights...

Fun fact, this is the place that The Sopranos actors would take someone when they got whacked on the show
