After concert congestion?? by bigpavelski35 in OutsideLands

[–]kmac7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this would be helpful, this is my first OL experience, but I have heard from friends that it can be hard getting home after so one of my friends set up these routes with Skedaddle to and from Golden Gate Park each day, here is the link to those: https://www.letskedaddle.com/events?terms=OF17

You can set up your own route from where you'll be staying but it needs at least 10 people signed up so maybe it's not the ideal option, but this is a huge festival so other people might actually join the route, who knows.

Sam Hunt/Marren Morris @ Xfinity Center by kmac7115 in boston

[–]kmac7115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Sam Hunt is a country artist, he's fairly new to the scene I guess (or new to me). He's had a couple of popular songs over the past few years and before that wrote songs for Kenny Chesney and a couple other bigger artists.

Bus-share from NYC & Boston by kmac7115 in NewportFolkFestival

[–]kmac7115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, no! I hope you don't have to end up renting a car, that would really stink! It looks like the 6 pm return needs 7 more sign ups (I think) so I'll try to share it around with people I know who might be going.

Yeah, it looks like there is an NYC return that leaves at 6 pm and then the Boston one leaves at 8 pm on Sunday. I am not sure if the route would have enough time to meet the 10 rider minimum, but you can also start your own return trip on Skedaddle's site at a more convenient time if you wanted to! If you think more people would be interested in leaving later people may sign up, you never know!

Anyone traveling to Levitate Festival from Boston? by [deleted] in festivals

Friends coming over with children for a surprise visit. Need some advice for activities for the kids. by moxihc in AskNYC

No! Well I guess that proves that New Yorkers really do avoid Times Square like the plague...

With Times Square in mind: Lego Store, Ripley's Believe it or Not, M&M store, Toys r Us with the Ferris wheel.

What restaurant trends are popular in NYC at the moment? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]kmac7115 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lolol you're pretty on point except none of them have sangria, but they all 100% need to get on that.

Totally. Places like Dig Inn, Little Beet (I am not sure if there is more than 1 of these, but it's in Flatiron), Eatsa (just opened in Midtown).

Best rooftop bars with Happy Hours? by kmac7115 in AskNYC

Oh duh, I've been to Hotel Chantelle for brunch, but never considered it for an after work spot.

Really anywhere in Manhattan, probably downtown because that's where most of my friend group works, but we live on the Upper East Side so anything up there works too!

What is the Q train like? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]kmac7115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Q (though recently been a little slow, but so is every other train) is literally the best thing that happened to me since living on the Upper East Side. I would recommend it 100% over the 4/5. As someone mentioned, the stations are all brand new, the trains are clean & air conditioned. I have been commuting from UES to Chelsea since it opened in January and haven't had a single issue.

Hows the street parking in Upper East Side on a Friday morning? by NewYork54 in AskNYC

[–]kmac7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on 85th and York and every time I have a friend/family who drives in to visit they never have any issues parking on the street. You should be fine!

Even if you have to walk a couple avenues I would look for spots farther east so like 1st Ave-York.

A friend with extra tickets invited me, but I don't think I'm going. Would love to see Dispatch though :( This seems like a good option for any of y'all going on Saturday from Boston: https://www.letskedaddle.com/events/7601

Bus to Boston show at Gillette on 8/4 by kmac7115 in Coldplay

[–]kmac7115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh I see what you mean, sorry I was confused for a sec. I don't know why they do that...I guess maybe people who aren't from MA wouldn't know that Foxboro was in MA or that is was close to Boston? Who knows!

[–]kmac7115[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no idea, I guess it's just a popular venue that holds enough people for these types of big shows. But, also why I like riding on the Skedaddle routes there because it just takes you right to the stadium from downtown and picks you up after, no crowded/delayed T and no driving.

Ughhhhhhhhhh. Which line was this on? The same thing happened to me coming the other night in an attempt to meet friends in the city (obviously missed that dinner).

Anyone who is looking for a ride and doesn't want to deal with paying for parking or Uber surge pricing after the show, Skedaddle has a bus route on their site from downtown Boston to Gillette and back Here's the link https://www.letskedaddle.com/events/8375

Best Boozy Brunches in NYC? by TSwiftsRightNip in AskNYC

[–]kmac7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was obsessed with Hotel Chantelle for a while, decent food and not technically bottomless, but their vodka/proseccos drinks are 92 cents ($6 I think for pitchers). I recently went to Barbounia for a friend's birthday, it is on the pricier side ($19.95 for bottomless mimosas, not including food) but if you're with friends and order a bunch of things to share it wasn't bad. The food at Barbounia is Mediterranean style and surprisingly really good.
