lol yes

dumont burger is overrated. they season their meat mixture with something i don't like much, and it's fucking expensive for a p small burger. go down the street a few blocks to spikehill for a great & affordable burger, just order is one-degree less-cooked than you like it.

and as much as some ppl talk shit about the crowd & vibe at spikehill (and it can get kinda douchey) it's not gonna be mucbh better than dumont burger.

i know yer having arepas i just like to talk shit abt dumont's burger whenever i can.

I retroactively withdraw the suggestion of Dumont Burger

last time I ate there was probably four years ago, just brainstorming here

hey man, sorry, i did not mean to offend anyone. i just have an irrational dislike of that place. their mac n cheese is greeeeaat but $$$$

hahaha no offense taken, both you and Laurel knocked the Dumont Burg, we're all cool here

they season their meat mixture with something i don't like much

also lol at this

and good seeing you guys yesterday

nice to see you dave!
why is that lol? their burgers have a heavily flavored taste, almost marinated! it's.. weird.

just the way you phrased it is funny to me

the mystery of it

secret sauce

I used to go out with these people who had made themselves an informal Burger Club, who would go on dinner outings around the city for burgers. We went to Dumont once and I don't remember them being anything special at all. Whereas I'm STILL convinced that Molly's has the best burger in the city but no one except Ian believes me (and he's the one who took me to eat there).

looking back I should have answered jordan's question only in GIFs

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.

luger burger is v good

frankly i like the burger at the diner near my house a lot too.

i wanna try the burger at the double windsor, hear it's good.

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?

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.

probably shouldn't book hols while drunk but boom

I go to new york

:)

is there a new york hotels thread? where would ppl recommend in manhattan? friend mentioned the gershwin. everywhere p.expensive

airbnb

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?

Well, this is why I don't travel.

gershwin is $160pn manhattan, looks p.reasonable so guess I'll go w/that

(there's also this but it's five years old)

What about a hotel in Brooklyn??

gershwin is about as cheap as it gets in manhattan; i've placed artists there before
best bet is to always couch crash if you know anyone

I got a price of around $120 for Candlew0od Su1tes on priceline.

am planning a trip to new york next year and have been hunting round cheap places to stay - this one looks p funky/affordable, perhaps locals can tell me o/wise:

I go to new york this week. first time

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?

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. :)

post here if a drinking plan develops pls.
