so cute!

i'm getting pizza tomorrow.

today someone started talking about making yogurt and i kept my mouth shut

i went to franny's and had a white pizza! it was good!

niice

Oh bummer, schef. I was on 4th Ave on Friday night.

ditto. I missed that post. er actually I wasn't on 4th Friday night, but walked around there yesterday ... we ended up on 5th Ave at Bogota for late lunch and it was good. fish tacos & slaw & fresh mango juice

anybody been to that new noodle place on 4th? skeptical since it's owned by the Sheep Station but it'd be nice to have around if it was good

how is bogota? i'd like to go

been wondering abt the arepas there

i been wonderin bout the empanadas

been wonderin why their delivery minimum is $20

whoa! it's kinda fun inside, if you're in the right mood

I used to live next to Sam's. Seriously grumpy/intimidating waiters who are either charming or annoying depending on your or their mood. Used to get takeout chicken parm heros too and would go into the back where there's another room that's darker and has round tables and behind that is the guy cooking for takeout and there's a giant poster of a Smith and Wesson revolver on the wall.

The pizza was good at times, it's been ages though. Down the street on Court there used to a be brick-oven pizza place called Leonardo's that was totally unpretentious and my favorite in the city. It's a dunkin donuts now.

oh that sounds really good actually

y'all heard about this possible german biergarten (spl) opening up on fulton? rumor from back in jan. i don't know what's happening now but that'd be neat. it's right next to my house and all

that wd be cool, i like radegast in w'burg, once i had drinks there with a bunch of ilxors

i like that place too, but i wanna try the queens one

but yeah that space is awesome

the queens one is better than radegast even though radegast theoretically has better sausages (tho half the time they're out of the majority of their selection, i feel like).

queens = astoria beer garden? went there once, my under-21 friends got carded :(

I just want a biergarten to have outdoor seating, which Radegast does not. The Astoria one is a treat but the last few years it has actually reached capacity on nice days, and there are lines and seating issues when it's crowded.

sounds like you want the gowanus yacht club

j/k

gowanus yacht club is totally fine if you go there middle of the day on a sunday during like football season fyi

gowanus yacht club is great if you never go

jk ive never been there

theres a biergarten in alphabet city somewhere 2

i just like the idea of beer growing on trees

I've been to the leetle one down in almost Chinatown someplace...is that technically the LES? It's the German restaurant, and sort of by a park of some kind.

ok you can't actually legally bring your beer to a park, laurel

Ally, you are so right. You can't even bring your beer onto your own stoop, I know this for a fact!

No, silly, the restaurant actually HAS a backyard. Max, it might be that one?

i would say y'all are talking about zum schneider except i don't REMEMBER it having a backyard (this could be meaningless as i've only been there once, maybe 2x)

http://nymag.com/listings/bar/zum_schneider/

may have been any one of those places, i am not good with, memory

luv the beer and food but these places always are full of the worst people - not really psyched to hav one open across the street - tho there hasnt been any work done on the location for months

Ya ya ya, it was the Loreley one. You'd think I'd remember the name, really.

dunno man are there really any bars in brooklyn that arent full of the worst people at this point, and by brooklyn i guess i mean, the whole world

not today, anyway

any bar im in is full of an amazing person

u must be pretty fat then, fattie

i am getting pretty fat but not yet 2XMO

ya i have started takin the cheese of my sandwiches

Yah maybe, Max, but I think it helps when yr friends are kind of scary, then other people come in and leave quickly. We may have been doing it rong all this time by making ourselves look really fun and hilarious, as it only encourages strangers to stick around.
