    I LOVE the UWS but I don't eat up here a ton - if I'm going to eat on the UWS, I'll just eat at home. There are a few good spots tho: Tenzan Sushi has 3 rolls from 12.50 every day from 12-430. Il Piccolo is very good, inexpensive Italian. Fred's and E's bars in the 80s are solid watering holes. But I really don't go out there a ton.

    I want to come up there and spend half my time eating/drinking and the other half at museums/art exhibits. Problem is I have no one to go with that is into both of those things :/ I guess this is why people have girlfriends

    I went to the Museum of Natural History by myself and enjoyed it. I kind of rushed through it since I was trying to make the 9/11 museum and memorial too before my train back to CT.

    The Dark Universe film narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson was awesome.

    Looks like some buddies and I are going to make our way down to NYC in July. Staying at the Gansevoort in the meat packing district. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You're in the right spot. I like the Standard Hotel lobby Bar and courtyard beer garden, but table service at the rooftop at Ganzevoort is a great time. I hit STK a fair amount when I'm in the city. Call right now and get a dinner reservation at Babbo in the village. Best Italian restaurant I've been to.

    The MPD is a great intersection of some of the finer nightlife establishments in the city, but it's relatively high end. Girls will probably be better looking there than anywhere else. I guess it depends on what you want.

    I have a three day Gov Ball pass but I'm probably only going to be able to go Friday.

    Can I sell the wristband after Friday or what?

    If You Don’t Want to Commute During a Severe Thunderstorm, You Should Probably Leave Work Now
    By Jessica Roy

    New York and surrounding areas are currently under a severe thunderstormwatch, which could bring nearly 60 mile per hour wind gusts and quarter-size hailstones, according to DNAinfo. After thehot, dry May we've had, the city could usesome rain. It'd be nice if it happened overnight and not during prime commuting

    Getting tickets to a Yankees game. Been told the bleachers are a good time. Is there a good atmosphere out there? Should we sit closer to the infield?

    Best atmosphere in the bleachers. The die hard fans ("bleacher creatures") sit in section 203, so if you can get close to them you'll definitely have a great time.

    So the show was super inconvenient to get to but it turned out to be a good time. If the weather was nice this venue (MCU Park in Coney Island) would be killer, and I highly suggest checking it out if you have a chance. Mumford is awesome live, plain and simple. They get hated on but they show out.

    so I haven't re-downloaded Snapchat on my new phone but that's one of the reasons. I don't want to see people's concert videos. The quality sucks, no matter what.

    I'm really close to ranting on Facebook about it. Do people not get how annoying that is? Especially when it's with some EDM doofus at a Vegas club.
