    You end up getting any BA Double Neg? My local spot (Campbell Cheese on Lorimer) had a bunch of bottles last night. If you didn't end up getting any would be worth stopping in on the way to our place!

    I'll check it out on my way. Every place in Manhattan got ravaged. No Tess or Double Neg for this fellow (yet!)

    KJROD20 and I are going to a show on Friday night off 7th Ave in the West Village. Living in the East Village for years neither of us really know anything about the West Village. Where should we eat?

    Bar Sardine for the Fedora Burger.

    Blind Tiger is an awesome bar with great beer and food. Always go grilled cheese and tomato soup.

    Jefferys Grocery for oysters and raw bar.

    Bar Sardine sounds pretty good too. We tend to avoid Blind Tiger since it's usually a shitshow but it's super close to the theater so it might have to be a stop.

    I've only been to Blind Tiger for lunch to duck out of the cold. Love the atmosphere and fire place.

    A Friday night reservation at Decoy is available, you say? :jew:

    Hundred Acres is more of a brunch place IMO (actually one of my favorite spots).

    Tartine is BYOB. Everyone in this thread should download Immaculate Infatuation for their restaurant needs.

    So jealous. This kills me:

    George:
    There’s a funny story about this drink. I was having lunch with Dick Van Patten and I turned to Dick at one point and I said, “Dick, there’s too much tuna in your tunatini, but my martuna needs more tuna, ” and we laughed over it.

    Gil: And I then submitted that to the Talk Of The Town in New Yorker Magazine.

    George: And they canceled our subscriptions.

    So I'm at Westside Market on 14th and 7th doing some normal grocery shopping when I spot some Goose Island on their counter. They have regular, coffee, barleywine, and rye. Couldn't believe it was still around. Check it out if you're still interested in grabbing some variants.

    I had a burrito from the Calexico cart yesterday. Crack sauce didn't do anything for me.

    Taqueria Diana and Tacos Morelos are the best, I think.

    Calexico is not "authentic" or anything but it'll hit the spot. I'm fine with crack sauce but I'm a salsa verde guy through and through.

    Love Diana but had a bad Seamless burrito from Morelos and haven't ordered since. El Diabolito Taquerio is also a fine contender.

    NYC bros, please help me plan a weekend in your fine city. Visiting in late March and the trip revolves around seeing Hamilton on Saturday night. I still need a hotel (preferably within walking distance to Central Park) and some good dinner reservations. Looking for something nice but not too stuffy for both.

    I usually go to Russ and Daughters or Black Seed if I'm eating bagels.
