That place is awesome.

Sort of like Texas de Brazil I'm assuming.

Dave, you recommend a normal yellow taxi from la guardia or should i arrange a car service?

We get in Thursday morning around 8:30am

[DRiccio21]

normal yellow cabs are fine.

[Cnasty]

Didnt know whether with traffic and tolls for the taxi or a flat rate with a car service.

Thanks for all the help

Finally, there is a pedestrian path on the Brooklyn Bridge that runs above the car lanes and provides some great views of the city. Always wanted to try it and never got around to it. I think it would be work checking out one of the oldest suspension bridges in the country.

I am hardly big on sights, but we were eating and drinking on the LES and decided to walk to Brooklyn to get some pizza. At first, I thought it was a completely ridiculous idea. About half an hour later, we were getting off the Brooklyn Bridge and drinking right around the corner from where the Atlantic Yards (Nets/Islanders) would ultimately play, drinking great beer and eating great pizza after an awesome walk across the East River.

Where is your bar? I'd really like the swing by one night as we explore.

It is in the suburbs. It isn't far but it is "far" if you know what I mean. It is 28 minutes by train, but it is the suburbs, so you are not going to want to come up. I mean, I love it here, it is a beautiful area on the LI Sound, with tons of places to eat, and the type of community where the main drag becomes a block party every other weekend ... but it isn't a destination. It is the reason why property is so fucking expensive here ... everyone wants to live near the city without being in it.

Well that stinks.

Not much time outside the agenda of sight seeing and such and the wedding festivities but would be nice to see the infamous bar and catch up.

It it were the go-kart track, it would be a vacation must-do!

It actually would. I miss working there a little bit.

Traveling up to NY to do some training...for the Yankee's security team! Was considering hiding some Red Sox paraphernalia in the stadium. Wonder if they'd find that funny?

Staying in Time Square and traveling to the Bronx. Should be easy enough.....

In Times Square for casual hit up HB Burger or the Shake Shack. Bit touristy but cool spots. HB had a good beer selection. Shake Shack had better grub.

Another casual place is Bonchon Chicken- its like a fried chicken and Asian fusion place. A friend of mine owns and operates 2 of their franchises Food is fantastic. Not cheap but they have amazing kimchi slaw. its not your typical fried chicken place.

Joe's Shanghai is of NDL and soup dumpling lore.

If you visit NYC without a stop and a pic, you are exiled.

I will also add a visit to NYC without a stop at the Hallal Guys food truck is a visit I do not want.

South Brooklyn Pizza and it is absolutely amazing because, for one, it is delicious. However, it is also extremely different pizza. And, yes, there is one on fourth or fifth (NE T to Cherry Tree bar) a few blocks from Barclay.

[trendon]

And, yeah, Joe's Shanghai. Make sure to watch the YouTube video on how to eat the goddamn things, though. I'm serious.

Just came back to this thread for a triple post. No, across the board.
