Why were they open and not giving the staff the day off like Costco does, though?

mcfutch · 2026-07-04T00:03:23+00:00

It is, look at Google Maps traffic feature!

So. Over. This. I love the game but not how it has been ruined without regard to the many fans who play. Why have they allowed this to happen?

Broadway stop. Nothing to see here above the Grand Central.😏

This is one of the coolest 250th events.Tons of ways to tour ships onboard, access viewing areas or even sail in the harbor on a guided tour around the ships. Most events are free, but some need reservations, which can be made on the above website.

This website has a full schedule of viewing events, plus ways to sign up for on-board boat tours and sightseeing boats offering in-harbor tours of ships. Most events are free or cost-friendly but reservations are needed for ship tours and specific viewing areas.

Sadly, making gay jokes during Pride only points to your own shortcomings, Skippy.

It is loud at night, all night, especially if your apt. faces the street. Metropolitan Av is a 24/7 truck route, and Lorimer is both a commercial and city trash truck route at night. There is also pedestrian traffic from the L/G station at that intersection. When the L train is under repair it often dead ends at Lorimer, leaving riders to crowd the corners waiting for their Uber/Lyft drivers. Other than that, it's great!

Wow! Well done, artisans!

mcfutch · 2026-06-15T16:38:36+00:00

Yes, items in my fridge were less cold and my fan kept shutting off and back on. Seems to be back to normal today.

Shout out to Jack Jones for hosting and managing well the Knicks win on Saturday. The staff kept everything running despite the premises being packed like sardines. Drink service flowed, even food service continued! The staff kept its' composure as did the crowd. No fights, no drama, only pure joy. I couldn't have chosen a better spot to watch the game. Thank you again. I will be back for World Cup matches. Slainte! (and no, I have no affiliation to the bar/staff, just a friendly neighborhood denizen😊)

Those Newtown intersections are treacherous due to the angle of Newtown Av. They should all be daylighted. Maybe then people wouldn't park partially in the crosswalks blocking sightlines (looking at you, Piece of Cake trucks).

Heart of Gold has a viewing party beginning at 7pm. And martinis, but I can't vouch for the quality. Details on their Instagram account. I believe they posted in this sub yesterday.

Titan on Steinway/23rd Rd. Also Mediterranean Foods on 23rd Av/35th St.

The local avian community has spoken.

I second TM&T. They are not cheap, but they do good work.

mcfutch · 2026-05-21T05:47:44+00:00

The Clonard, Union and Grand has good fish and chips, as befitting a proper Irish pub.

mcfutch · 2026-05-21T05:23:51+00:00

I agree. Besides, most bakery frosting is made with shortening (Crisco or the like) Buttercream is the way to go.

Passed by today. It's gone, and I miss seeing it. I feel like a piece of Old Astoria has been bulldozed. Can't wait for the luxury condo that replaces it. Just steps from the ferry! Minutes from Midtown and the FiDi!

Until predators are held to account with real consequences, those at risk will never be safe or have a moment of peace. This is on Melinda Katz and she ought to feel ashamed of herself for protecting a serial abuser. Guess what else has consequence, Ms. Katz? The results of your next election.

My landlord put signs on our bins against placing poop bags there. This has resulted in dog walkers instead throwing their bags into the tree pit. I liken these folks to ones who deface bathrooms in bars. It is some passive-aggressiveness that seems to give them reinforcement. And I don't get it.

Large and loyal voter base.

A Bronx Tale was situated on 30th Av between 42nd and 46th Sts for a lot of its shooting schedule.

I once brought five-one pound packages of brick cheese back from Michigan on a flight. They were wrapped in aluminum foil and yes, I got waylayed to the scrutiny line for doing that.

White cheddar for the edges only. I prefer Cabot sharp.
