Reasons why New York Sucks

I thought halal kebabs were the best drunk food

About 6 of us came out of a club in the meatpacking district on drunken night and proceeded to inhale about $80 worth of kebabs and hotdogs. Insane

That's a really cool web app. Watched like 5 cabs in a row haha.

Is it wishful thinking to hope that tomorrow is less humid?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

^ Yep. Looks like it is going to be disgustingly humid and/or pouring until the late afternoon.

A lot of people are freaking out about this LIRR possible strike like it is going to be the end of the world. I don't really get it. I mean, anybody who lives in Long Island has a car so ******* drive to work. Sure, it might be expensive and annoying, but it is not like there are no other possible ways of getting to Manhattan. Furthermore, I don't know why the management employees don't just take over operations like the Con Edison management employees did during the lock out a few years ago. **** these unions, let them strike.

AMEN!

Agree, let them strike. Honestly, might be a good thing--could finally piss enough people off to force a change.

Yeah, wishful thinking.

Looks like I'll be going to Far Rockaway rather than Long Beach!

 

[gomestar]

I'm meh on Long Beach



prefer the non-populated parts of Jones Beach.

 

[whiteslashasian]

I do it for the convenience, really.

fair point.


I really like the beaches of Fire Island, but it's a pain. Haven't tried Sandy Hook, and it seem easy to get there, but a little pricey via the ferry.


I'll be in Coney Island this Saturday. Wife is there for an open water swim, so I might as well join (not the swim).

Doing a Fire Island share in early August. The house apparently boasts Air Conditioning as a perk!
