    Anyone ever done a cooking class at Eataly?

    More specifically a pasta making class OR have any recommendations for a good place to do something like that.

    Brooklyn Kitchen has good classes

    O.True has done a few but I'm not sure the venue.

    Haven't done one at Eataly. I did do a Korean cooking class at ICE. Not much drinking as you cook, but there was wine and beer when it came time to eat. Heard it is different for other classes. Would recommend.

    Ended up at Stout because The Watering Hole was filled to cap. Place was packed. Hardly any obvious Eagles fans, but thats who the crowd was for, and they all left as soon as the game ended. I didnt expect that in a Giants town.

    NYC isn’t anyone’s “town.” Most everyone is from somewhere else and bring their allegiances with them. Tons of Philly transients too

    Yes, incredible time. Bring some cash (<$30) for the costume store thing before hand. (Having a gnarly outfit is part of the vibe). Hopefully your staying in Bushwick or Brooklyn that night, as it’s kind of a hike back to Manhattan, but well worth it.

    True. I just figured the crowd was mostly neutral since the crowd didnt appear to be an eagles one.

    Will be in town next month for work training (for a week). Will be staying in Times Square — any good recommendations on Italian/Pizza places in that area? Obviously I’m going to get a slice at the NYC pizza place, Sbarro.

    Anyone been to Gnoccheria? Saw them on Instagram and it seems like my kinda place.

    Also if any NYC bros would want to get a drink with an Upstater i would welcome that.

    Where are you staying? B Side Pizza on 51st and 9th is a good pre-theater spot, as is the pre-theater menu at Dovetail but about 6-8x more expensive.

    Yea it was like a summer camp theme so I went as a life guard. I felt really uncomfortable riding the subway from Manhattan to Brooklyn in a swim suit in March.

    Yes, I occasionally charter a bus to Hunter. They offer lessons and the terrain is not very difficult but it’s fun.

    Has the Poulet en Vessie at L'Antagoniste in Bed Stuy on Monday (which is also BYOB night) and it was incredible. Service there is usually meh, because the front staff is doe eyed most nights, but the food is great and the wine list is exceptionally well priced.
