    been doing the airbnb search. slim pickings and the decent one i tried to book in chelsea was "unavailable" per the owner, even though the dates show up as available in the search

    if we're going to be running around nyc, is it necessary to set up shop in manhattan? hotels are through the roof, brooklyn could be in play. the chiefs/jets game is starting to be less of a priority, although i'm sure we'll still go

    Brooklyn and Queens hotels are great. No reason to limit yourself hotel-wise as long as you’re close to the subway

    Spend the money and stay in Manhattan. No one wants to spend precious hours of their vacation worried about the god damn subway or spending a fortune on cabs.

    Staying in Queens is a patently terrible idea.

    Id say it depends if you've been to NYC before. if you havent its retarded not to stay in Manhattan, but if you've spend some time there before id say brooklyn/queens is fine.

    had a four month work project in brooklyn 6 years ago, i mostly set up shop in manhattan. doubt we'll be doing much touristy stuff this go around. freedom tower and chiefs/jets only things on docket so far. will be spending most of time running around town eating and drinking (essential bars/brewery suggestions?)

    decided to use SPG points, decide our fate please

    There's a shuffleboard (Cruise ship version, not tabletop) place in Brooklyn that's fun if you've never been. Royal Palms.


    Easy to double up with a trip to Dino BBQ (a block away), which isn't as great as Fette or Hometown, but is still really good.

    I'd do pig beach which is even closer to royal palms and better imo.

    Went to Lilia tonight for the first time... amazing

    Ended up with 3 starters and 3 pasta dishes. Came to $170 total with 2 rounds of drinks and desert as well.

    Favorite dishes and will be ordering again:

    Cacio e Pepe Fritelle
    [​IMG]

    Whole Artichoke, Garlic, Mint, Parmigiano, Breadcrumbs
    [​IMG]

    Mafaldini, Pink Peppercorn, Parmigiano Reggiano
    [​IMG]

    Rigatoni Diavola, San Marzano Tomatoes, Chilies, Oregano, Pecorino
    [​IMG]


    Good, but would try something different next time

    Housemade Mozzarella, Toasted Garlic Bread, Lemon, Bottarga
    [​IMG]

    Sheeps Milk Cheese Filled Agnolotti, Saffron, Dried Tomato, Honey
    [​IMG]

    Finished it off with an Olive Oil cake and vanilla/chocolate gelato swirl with salted almonds and candied orange rinds - both were incredible
    [​IMG]

    Very cool space overall and will definitely be going back ASAP

    i think Queen in downtown BK is super good, old school, and easy to get a table. I can think of places I'd rather go for top tier meals but I've never had a bad time in the three meals I've had there

    Got counter reservations for Azabu next week for girl's bday. Anyone been?

    I hear nothing but good things and while it's more expensive than what I want to pay, all the review are great.

    Their descriptions work much better. The pasta was pretty thin and so fresh. Would eat again.
