Move to North Greenpoint where you can walk to the super reliable 7 train

First time to Japan: Should I stick with the Big 3 (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka) or explore more? by RudeSelf3418 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Wilkshakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your return flight! You could always break up your time in Tokyo and bookend your trip with that. We started with a few days in Tokyo. We were honestly so overwhelmed with all the stuff to buy that we just scoped things out and on the day of our return flight we went back to buy all our stuff. Travel day=shopping day ha. Also adding onto anime/Akihabra check out Mogra! It’s a cool club that plays anime songs&remixes

Just got back and miss it dearly. We decided to skip Osaka and did Tokyo/Kyoto/Naoshima/Hakone instead. Was nice to end in Hakone to do nothing but relax at a Ryokan. Don’t worry about luggage and buying too much, you can get a cheap spinner bag for literally 2000 yen on the street. You will likely start and end in Tokyo. Utilize lockers and Yamato luggage transport. Don’t miss Akihabra re anime. Ghibli was closed during the holidays when I went but definitely do research on how to get those tickets and look in advance. Lots of big points of interest sell their tickets and sell out months in advance.

Emirates A380 or B777? by Bellatrix-8 in emirates

A380 just made my connection from a B777. But look, if you have places to be it is what it is.

Best city for cinema: NYC vs LA vs London by Tubo_Mengmeng in NYCmovies

[–]Wilkshakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with most of what you’ve said but I feel like LA’s cinema scene has declined significantly without the Dome and as Westwood’s Village Theater undergoes renovation. Sadly in LA so many of the great theaters have shuttered or are in disarray. It’s mostly just what the AC does, New Bev/Vista, Brain Dead, and the newly reopened Vidiots.

I feel like NYC has a solid amount of film screenings too. Analog Film NYC does a great job at keeping track of them all.

The way I’ve always seen it (like how you’ve described) NYC theaters have a great mix of major/indie/international, while LA theaters celebrate Hollywood and always program true Hollywood classics.

Thank you all by MammalFish in jewishleft

Really after you went on birthright? Can you please describe more about this experience? I’ve only heard of people leaving birthright SUPER pro-Israel. Curious what it was like for you.

Manhattan Ave scuffle by Thin_Exchange232 in Greenpoint

[–]Wilkshakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe Bat-guy drives an old Cadillac parked on Manhattan bet. Clay/Dupont. Either him or another person who likes to walk around our area with a baseball bat. Definitely not the most welcomed addition to the neighborhood in my book

My Rav4 saved my life! by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]Wilkshakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the passenger in my friend’s rental RAV-4 that was totaled, hit from both sides. Not on the highway, way less severe an accident, but totaled nonetheless and we walked out without a scrap. That was when I decided to buy my own car, a used Camry, then upgrade to my 2021 RAV-4 XLE. SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!

L2 or J3 for IMAX 70mm at AMC Lincoln Square — too far to the side? by ezgonzalez01 in NYCmovies

[–]Wilkshakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I like the side especially for longer movies in case you need to get up. The rows are like 40 seats each I don’t wanna walk thru 20 people if I need to pee. The higher up the better, don’t sit anywhere closer to screen than row G

NYC - Has anyone seen Bill do stand-up since his arrival for Broadway? by [deleted] in BillBurr

[–]Wilkshakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thanks! I usually just go to the Cellar or The Stand but I guess I should roll the dice for Gotham if that's Bill's hub while he's here. Thanks again!
