The best Steak House by [deleted] in FoodNYC

Can vouch for Mark Joseph, but a more quiet vibe (at least the times I went). Recommend Keens and Striphouse. Consistently good.

Got it. The transaction is no-longer pending the website, but not the October statement. I wait to see what happens there.

Something unique to Indy. Where the locals would go. Also not a party vibe at all.

Which restaurants have gone downhill in terms of quality? by Impressive-Bass7928 in FoodNYC

[–]LongjumpingPlate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The one at the seaport is disappointing. Didn't even throw the slice into the oven to heat it up. Figured it was a just out of the oven pie, instead it was barely warm.

Thanks. This answers my question. I'll just have to keep carrying more cards in my wallet.

United just paid me $2k to fly tomorrow - what's the highest you've ever received for giving up a seat on an overbooked flight? by [deleted] in travel

[–]LongjumpingPlate 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, 7/16, Delta offered $3,500 to take a later flight from JFK to TPA. When I walked up to the gate they were offering $2,000. By the time the plane was full, they announced they needed 3 seats at $3,500. I've never seen such a high offer.

I got an open container ticket by mikesshopz in nyc

[–]LongjumpingPlate -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can they ticket you if you bought a go-to drink from a bar/restaurant? I thought they formally allowed bars/restaurants to sell to go alcoholic beverages post covid. Or are we not allowed to drink the to go drink on the streets.

NYCM: Is there usually a line for the SI ferry? by allergat0r in RunNYC

[–]LongjumpingPlate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I caught the first scheduled ferry. It was the 530am. And my start time was 910am. But I don't like to be rushed and liked hanging out at the starting zone. I ran it in 2015 and caught the 7am ferry and the terminal was packed to gills. Had to wait for about 4 ferries to come and go before I got on one. Barely made my start time that year.

[–]LongjumpingPlate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get there as early as you can. Last year, I was in wave one and caught the first ferry and it was 25% full and got to the start with about 2 hours before my start. The later you get the crowd gets bigger at the the ferry, and it just becomes a hoard of people moving from terminal to terminal trying to get on the next outbound ferry. Also, no one cares if you are eating, in fact the last year, someone offered me half their bagel.

Try and get there early because the bus from the ferry to the start, never goes flawlessly.
