    I rented a car once and almost killed a pedestrian.

    Sounds like my Friday is going to involve accosting southern frat boys at Maysville.

    baked scallops and fresh lump crab, spicy chili sauce,

    toasted coconut, crunchy, eel sauce.

    I'll already be in NYC come Saturday when it is time for me to get down to central NJ. It looks like I'll be staying somewhere lower than 14th so the train is looking like the better option. I can get someone to pick me up once I get there. Can you link me to the website with the train schedule? Thanks :beerchug:

    I'm going to spend some time reviewing all the recs over the last 10 or so pages.

    First tho, what are the restaurants I need to make appointments with now in order to get in for Aug 14th and 15th? I'd like to do Blue Hill and Traif.

    I don't think that the train goes all the way to Highbridge on the weekend, though.
    You might have to get a ride from Raritan.

    This may be way too vague of a question to ask, but any recommendations for affordable hotels in Manhattan? What's a reasonable price to pay? Wife and I are looking to maybe do a long weekend trip in October, we've never been to NYC for more than a half day layover and flights from Charlotte are super cheap.

    Flying in on Friday for 3 days, first time in the city. Can't fucking wait.
    Getting in the New York state of mind with some movies, just watched Cloverfield, 25th Hour will be happening later. :lovelove:

    Check out AirBnB, probably cheaper than a hotel, and easier to control where you stay.

    really enjoyed NYC

    maysville was awesome, had lots of good scotch
    the met was better than i thought and the natural history museum sans the space exhibits was downright pitiful
    WTC and 9/11 memorials, very engrossing
    SOL and Ellis Island (found that my wife's great great great grandparents came from BHAM ENGLAND) were standard touristy but i couldnt not go
    really liked tribeca and chinatown. ms swim got a LV for 35, worked the chinese lady down from 90... was proud but then still felt like they woulda taken 20 (?)
    went to times sq. once in the morning on the way to the subway and then again at night. its cool to walk through and then you realize its basically the worst people standing around buying 9$ hot dogs and taking their picture with elmo and you want to kill everyone
    speaking of walking, i salsa danced with about 100 foreigners walking on the sidewalks... wish everyone knew to get to the GD right
    a lot of foreigners smell really bad
    it is a really really fucking big city
    upper west side was cool to walk through as well

    def gotta go back

    coming from Orlando where we've been 90+ and/or torrential downpours (also known as "summer"), low 80's and no rain seems pretty damn nice to me.

    Stout? Near Herald Sq? They didn't have it last week when I was there, pretty mediocre tap list. Check out rattle n hum or ginger man, much better bars

    I don't consider Stout a craft beer bar. Doubt they got Bourbon County at all. Ditto gordon bombay's recs of Rattle N Hum or Ginger Man for craft beer in that area.

    Well I'll be damned, I took stay below 14th to mean the lowest below 14th is best. I have some other options. Thoughts? 12th still the best?
