Doing much better, but a ways to go.how are you feeling, koya? are you back to pre-hfs life, or still recovering?Smells the same to me.
Back to work on a more full time but still limited basis Monday. Past weekend I made it to the bar crawl, getting there at 1... by 4 I was close to done, exhausted. But much much better, no more exposed deep wound and other crap. Much less pain. But still pooping into a bag hanging from me.
Still need to heal up another month, then build up myself a couple more before one last surgery to "reconnect" me.
Appreciate you asking.

Guy got on the 4/5 during morning rush hour yesterday smelling like he took a full ounce and swabbed his entire body with it. Coming home, the 4/5 platform at GC smelled like someone broke out a bong while waiting for a 6. People are getting bold.Smells the same to me.

If you smoke a J or are carrying some really good stuff not really sealed (like tupperware, not baggie) its gonna smell of it big time.Guy got on the 4/5 during morning rush hour yesterday smelling like he took a full ounce and swabbed his entire body with it.

A couple times I have been walking in the city, and I hear this specific cadance of metal chinkling as it hits the pavement at a high pitch, but usually a couple good seconds of rattling around. Those who have smoked a batty (the old metal kind) know EXACTLY what sound I'm talking about.

I think Casa (Brazilian place in the W. Village - http://www.casarestaurant.com/) and Café Mogador (Moroccan place in the E. Village - http://www.cafemogador.com/) would be fun Valentine's Day restaurants.

Mogador! Wow... brings me back to college dates. Loved that place. A little too close to home (literally) and not "special" enough for the ol lady. Will look into the Brazilian place... thanks.
I'm guessing the wife will need me to spend waaaay more for a meal though. Just, you know... because.

I like the vibe of those kinds of restaurants, but if you want more upscale there are lots of places in the city. I prefer places like Casa and Mogador so there are probably others on this board who know more about the fancier places. One place I like that's definitely more upscale and expensive is Periyali (http://www.periyali.com/)

I didn't realize the tip of the collapsed crane ended up a block from my kid's Saturday swim lessons. It's a mob scene down here. Makes you think. I park on that corner all the time.

I was there with a group. We had a reservation to celebrate the holidays. They took us down to the ground floor and set us up in the windowless hotel breakfast room. Literally. With cereal machines and microwaves. Then they tried to stiff us on free drinks they promised, insisting they were never offered but we ALL heard it, eventually telling us that if we insisted on the free drinks it would be coming out of the employee's pay "it's your choice." My friend left a review of that on Yelp. Would go anywhere else.

It is so cold outside! Like wtf kinda cold and just getting colder. I walked 1 block to the store without gloves and my hands were numb. FIL/MIL took my son to NJ for his cousins birthday party, he's sleeping there. We aren't leaving the house today and I couldn't be more excited! About to watch Ted2.

hi Mad Cow...
are you looking to go cheap with the hotel? you don't need to stay near Javits and are better off staying somewhere where better NY life is right outside your door... and there are lots of neighborhoods for that, depending on what kind of stuff you want to see and do.
what kind of stuff do you want to see and do?

anybody seen the Upstairs Neighbors video?
I'd put the laughing emoji in there if it wasn't so true.

Bacon is only reason in even go there. But if you have a good butcher that has slab bacon then there is zero reason. However I have no idea iced slab bacon is harder to find nowadays so if this is indeed the thick stuff they may do ok.So, Peter Luger bacon is now a thing. AT STORES.
And it's awesome.
and, as I bought (and just ate)

Welshers and Dawdlers Beware!
Wife and I are looking at a shorter NYC trip in mid-April to get a few hours of CE at Vision East at the Javits Center. Neither of us have been, so are open to any and all advice for hotel, which airport, transportation, restaurants, things to do or not do, etc. We would get in Wednesday evening, leave Sunday morning/afternoon. Thursday and Friday mornings would be booked getting classes in, but the rest is up for debate.
The only real thing we do not need are bar recommendations. We do not drink, so that is moot.
In before the inevitable bar recommendations.
Thanks for any help you can give.
I am thinking we will take in Les Mis on Thursday night, seems to be several tickets left.
Any hints on getting tickets to things like Fallon, etc.?

Thanks for bumping this. I am OK spending more to get something nicer. As long as I can get to the Javits easily and relatively quickly with subway or what not, that is fine. Would like to hit a musical such as Les Mis and just see the major sights. Thanks

somewhere at the beginning of this thread, I wrote a giant list of NYC things that came to mind... IIRC, neighborhood and interest driven. I'll try to find the post when I have a sec.
short of that- Javits is easy enough to get to, but in a crap neighborhood... dont' stay nearby. lots of options all over the city at varying price-points- so it will be about what you want to be in and around.
no idea about Fallon, but Letterman and SNL were multiyear deals to get tickets... so good luck.

For Fallon tickets: http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/blog/how-to-get-tickets-to-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon/113111#calendar
And they also have stand by tickets. I went to a Conan airing that way. Have fun Mad Cow!

Awesome write up! I wasn't going to search/bump this thread but since its here I'll ask. I'm heading into the city solo tomorrow night for a show at the Beacon Theater. My 1st trip to the Beacon. How's the neighborhood around 74th Street? Figure I'm good heading in, but wondering about the subway on a Saturday night. I'll also be seeking out some food & a beer and don't know how advisable it is to wander very far off Broadway.
Just gonna head up and scope it out/play it safe but any tips and info are appreciated.

Thank you! They had tickets for the Thursday show, not just the rehearsal. Hoping I get that, too.

The Beacon Theatre is amazing. Really enjoyed every show I've been to. You'll be on the Upper West Side so a little more yuppie/family oriented but plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. It's very safe. Feel free to wander.

FBGs who worry about Manhattan safety always gives me a chuckle. I understand the concerns if you're not familiar with the city but Manhattan is one of the safest places I've been to in the US
I dunno. I was assaulted by a few topless women in Times Square and some dude wearing nothing but a guitar.

How brief of a trip? It's tempting to try to get a Pork Johnson/Eye Doc cornhole on the agenda. But with no drinking or shock paddles, I'm not sure what we'd do. I still haven't done my PC build...

It's a concrete jungle out there. Man, remember the easy days? Ahh, the quiet tranquility of Manhattan in the late '70's and '80s.

Hey, if you are dumb enough to saunter around Times Square without taking proper precautions that's on you. It's a way that NYers can funnel all the rubes into the same 3 block area so we can get on with actual life and #### everywhere else.

So booked the flight and hotel. Get into LaGuardia at 6:29pm on Wednesday, fly out Sunday morning about 9am. Need to get home since that day is our son's 16th birthday.
Staying at the Dumont NYC - seems to be very highly rated and got a good rate on the rate.
Will be booked mornings of Thursday and Friday for CE. Looking to get Les Mis for Friday night, have The Tonight Show Thursday afternoon. So a lot of open time to fill. The obvious ones to get in, I assume, are Empire State Bldg, Ground Zero and Statue of Liberty? I know there are tons of things like Central Park (plan on running there in the mornings from my hotel - is that a thing in NYC - going through the urban jungle to get there?) and doubt museums will fit into the schedule. Open to many possibilities.
