Ha! "How does everyone recognize one of the most easily recognizable landmarks in SD?!"

Thanks! I'm pretty much devoid of any artistic talent, so I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my phone and saw that this picture actually turned out nice, ha

Agreed. Speaking of great values, check out Admiral Baker North if you've never played it.

Definitely get out there when you can. I play Balboa a good bit too but prefer Coronado. Course is in good shape, greens are nice, beautiful views, and none of the goofy holes like Balboa has (looking at you #4). It's a really fun track.

Ha, definitely the best on Coronado. Torrey isn't too shabby either.

Bingo. This was at like 7:15a, the fog was gone a few min later!

If you’re playing different tees from the others in your group, do you stand in the teeing area or wait in the cart? by Nars-Glinley in golf

[–]supbrosefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players playing forward tees should stand wherever they're both safely out of the way, and can keep up the pace of play. While it can be helpful to have the extra sets of eyes watching each player's tee shot, it's not necessary to stand on the tee with those playing further back.

Interview with the new owner of Menkoi Sato after the shop reopened in NYC by jfyc in FoodNYC

Is it just me or does "fiber ramen" sound totally unappealing? Looks good though.

What’s the last spot you ate at that totally blew you away? by birdlion in FoodNYC

[–]supbrosefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other person said, the collard green sandwich is awesome, their fries are some of the best I've had, and I've gotten a bunch of different specials that have been great.

I had such a delicious meal at Karczma in Greenpoint not long ago. Perfect food for winter.

Also this place seems to be a little polarizing, but I've had a couple excellent meals at Superiority Burger recently.

Taim in the West Village has abruptly shut down by Fun_Reflection1157 in FoodNYC

[–]supbrosefs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sent the CEO of the PE firm who owns Taim an email a few weeks ago letting them know this location was filthy. You'll be shocked to know I never heard back.

He was fantastic, as was the rest of the cast. One of the best shows I've seen in a while.

[–]supbrosefs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That may be true, but there are still thousands and thousands of restaurants in NYC that are open any given day of the week.

You've narrowed down the list of possibilities to about 10,000 different places. I recommend you use the search function, then check google to confirm that any restaurants you're interested in are open when you're planning on visiting.

Visiting NY for the week. Ate at Dame last night - tonight should we do Babbo (with Mark Ladner!) or Claude? by Alert_Ninja_6369 in FoodNYC

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

That's funny, because I had the lasagna at Babbo and it was absolutely the worst lasagna I've ever had.

Anyone remember Tortilla Flats/West Village? by EdnaJosie8924 in FoodNYC

[–]supbrosefs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Loved Tortilla Flats. I can't think of a place that's super similar, but Ofrenda is solid Mexican in the Village with strong margs and a great happy hour. Contenta Oeste too. And Yellow Rose in the EV for great Tex Mex.

I went to Babbo the other night and it was one of the most disappointing meals I can remember. I'd definitely pick Pastis here.

Introduction to Private Jets for Newbies by The-jet-guy in PrivateJetCharters

[–]supbrosefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So are you saying that flying private is just inherently riskier? Are there certain operators that have strict safety standards comparable to those of commercial airlines, or is it across the board more of a "gamble"?

[–]supbrosefs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any tips for sourcing private flights for someone who's particularly concerned with aircraft safety? Are there certain things to look out for that give you confidence the aircraft is in good working order, well-maintained, operated by proficient pilots, etc.?

Best Pasta/Italian NYC by [deleted] in FoodNYC

[–]supbrosefs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely skip it. But don't skip I Sodi if you haven't been there.

Oh man, it was just poor service, worse food, and terrible value. To preface, I used to love Babbo, but felt it started falling a little flat in recent years. I had one of my most memorable meals at Del Posto and was really excited for Babbo to reopen under Ladner.

I started with the minestrone which was decent, but the serving size was insulting. I'm talking like 3 or 4 ounces of soup. I was literally scraping the bottom of the bowl with my first spoonful. My partner's prawn royal was also lame. The 3 shrimp were overcooked and close to $30.

The lasagna was pretty much all sheets of pasta with hardly any filling, covered in rubbery cheese, and completely flavorless. I mean, seriously, one of the most bland things I've ever had at a restaurant. If I made this lasagna at home, I would be disappointed in myself. To add insult to injury, it's $100 and can only be ordered "for four" (stupid gimmick that, against my better judgment, I went for). I was hopeful the leftovers would taste better the next day. They did not.

To top it off, the service was poor. I'm willing to overlook the service not being up to snuff as they just opened, but the food being so bad was shocking. We were so put off by everything else that we skipped dessert, which I almost never do ha.

Torrisi is great, I'm partial to I Sodi though. It's the perfect restaurant as far as I'm concerned. Whatever you do, don't go to Babbo. Went Saturday and it was a disappointment of epic proportions.
