lol.
molly's is very good, perhaps my fave. also a big fan of spike hill, obv, and paul's, and the corner bistro is fine but nothing to rave abt imo.

i got arepas with surm and it was the perfect thing, we didn't have to wait much either. except my leftovers disappeared from backstage, i blame the band who closed out the early show. :(
show went great btw.

glad the show was good, how did you get hooked up w/ those guys?
― dmr, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
the short story is i started sending music to rupture for his wfmu show a few years ago and it slowly developed from there. everyone in the crew is really great and was super warm & welcoming.

Um friend just stayed at somewhere on 35th St? But it was like $225 a night which, yikes. There have to be better options than that.

Friends stayed last June at the Hotel Pennsylvania near MSG, which I would've thought was a fleabag, but they survived.
Anything under $200/n in Manhattan is miraculous, no?

What about a hotel in Brooklyn??
― purveyor of generations (in orbit), Monday, 10 September 2012 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
gershwin is about as cheap as it gets in manhattan; i've placed artists there beforebest bet is to always couch crash if you know anyone

Asking two days beforehand if anyone is around on a Friday during the Christmas season is probably pretty dumb, huh? Anyway, I go to NYC this weekend.

how long?
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
Friday and Sat nights. Could probably meet up either night but Friday would be the better bet as I'm not sure what time we'll be done with RS work dinner on Sat which is the whole reason we'll be down. Was actually gonna msg you on FB to see if you were around, D. Will do so later tonight. :)

i don't understand income tax. about what fraction of my gross will i take home?
is there a website that is not craigslist for apartments?
― caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 00:34 (eleven years ago) link
if youre just talking about federal, then I would guess like 15-25% will be taxed unless scientists make 6 figures
but then there's also state + local tax, like the nyc city tax, payroll tax
so maybe bank on about 60% takehome?

what's wrong with craigslist
― iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 00:37 (eleven years ago) link
people like padmapper but i think craigslist might have hit em with a few dmcas its only really useful if craigslist results are shown
housing shld be p plentiful up around morningside heights + west harlem when I was looking like half the listings were from there
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 00:39 (eleven years ago) link
a lot of the time there is gonna be a very flexible definition of 'morningside heights'
