    Thanks man. Pretty nervous to be going back to school, but it's too good of an opportunity to pass up I think. Signing my life away on some student loans next week, so that's always fun.

    One of my coworkers went to 5 Napkin Burger last night. They have a few locations around the city. Pretty much a step above 5 Guys when it comes to burger joints. Said it was the best burger he ever had. Their whole menu looks incredible.

    yeah they own Newcastle (amongst others) which has a lot of varieties. I really enjoyed their British IPA.

    to each his own though :smugdog:

    Go on yelp for movers and look for the highest rated. Did this a couple years ago and got a 2 guys and a truck type situation with awesome reviews. Guys were great. Moved 3 bedroom sets, dining, big sectional couch from 34th and 2nd down to the lower east side in a matter of a couple hours and only charged around $500. Flat rate gave us a quote for like $1800.

    Also, parents are in town this weekend. Any recommendations on where to take them for downtown/midtown not-too-crazy-expensive dinners, brunches?

    Any random museum collections that are interesting?

    holy hell where did this storm come from?

    as someone who hates heat and humidity, it's already shitty enough in the summers out here. throw in enough rain to drown me and i'm fucked.

    like the noise, though.

    Definitely ready to come back in soon, been around a month since I was last in the city. The trip from Stamford doesn't seem like it would be that far but sitting on the train for 45-60 minutes gets old after a while.

    I can't stand the Frying Pan. Full of douches and completely overpriced.

    Since I moved to Williamsburg, I've found a couple good places to eat, namely Jimmy's Diner for brunch (pulled pork, egg, and pepper jack cheese sandwich!) and Brooklyn Star for dinner (badass meatloaf sandwich).

    in Manhattan? TBH, not really. Maybe Boat Basin if you want a waterfront view, but there's not as much space on the water as Frying Pan. I prefer quieter back patio kind of places, like Lunasa on 1st Ave btw St. Marks and 7th.

    That said, my favorite places overall are the beer gardens in Astoria, preferably Bohemian Hall over Studio Square. In Williamsburg, you can go to Good Co. and play cornhole.
