The Downtown Brooklyn Thread

fried fucking turkey

ok so get your turkey or whatever you decide to eat, if you want food, and bring it to alibi sometime after, like, 1:30. still not really sure i get the turkey aspect of this but you kids seem into it.

the turkey aspect is they have deep fried turkey

actually I was just lookin at their website and it looks really good but kinda hard to eat out back of a bar, I may puss out and get a sandwich or something. they have other stuff

see ya at alibi

yeah that is what i'm not getting -- are ppl planning on buying a huge turkey and then sharing it? cos otherwise y'all are just getting...deli sandwiches and acting really psyched about it, which is cool and all but i'm not sure that's hugely exciting? or ARE you guys thinking that we're just gonna get a huge deep fried turkey and share it? i guess i'll find out tomorrow!

it's Brooklyn, ppl sre bound to get excited about stupid shit

truth bomb

similar sentiment expressed by that OMG BACON thread but still

damn JT is quite a damn hike from the G train

ok, 3 long blocks (my toe is still healing)

So glad I'm not the only one mystified by the turkey aspect of the meet. If I don't go furniture shopping I will stop by. People are really getting there early afternoon-ish?

i will punish them if not

Wait, we're meeting in Fort Greene? Is this unprecedented? Is the G running?

to the extent it ever runs, yes

damn JT is quite a damn hike from the G train

i do this walk every day. suck it up!

haha i'm walking from my house which is way further than the clinton-washington g, you best just deal!

hope this was/is fun. Had a family brunch to attend instead. We went to Chestnut -- food looked nice but tasted very very bland.

hadda go to rockland county ;_;

too hungover sorry guys :(((

The bar was great: $3 beers and a buyback after 2. Skipped the turkey in favor of McDonalds though.

i found a penny in the table

McDonalds? Aw, VP, that's sad.

we had Smoke Joint. hit the spot

alibi sunday happy hour is a good deal for sure

i may make a habit of it, along w/ salads from McDonalds! :(

I want I want I want Alibi Sundays! On the 12th?

that's Easter, we'd have to hide some eggs (and wear hats)

just think, if I'd gotten shitcanned on Friday instead of today I coulda made you guys buy even my $3 beers!

Oh damn. It's Easter and I have dinner plans I made drunkenly on Saturday. Actually they will prob be fun and delicious.

well not to mention that like there was a reason we went this weekend instead of next...?

also morbius wtf u talkin bout.

lost mah job!

>:[ wtf sorry bro, we should get drinks

^^ think that's the plan.

im up for drinks if theyre being had

well i can't do it tonight so i am saying, we should get drinks, in the near future

my birthday's in a couple weeks, so i will wring all the pity i can outta that one

i am going to get you special resume paper for your birthday.
heavy, finely woven, 100% recycled.

surely ppl just want me to fax it by now? from home?

yeah but you gotta bring copies to the interview even if you email it!

oh yeah, interviews. Jesus, I wonder how many sizes bigger I need for new suit pants.

and you'll have to shower now :\

Bedouin Tent = yum

BTW -- does anyone have any ideas of places in the areas with cheap rental rooms for a birthday party in June? Would like some kind of cheap, tasty food, preferably BYOB or inexpensive drinks. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 people. Would prefer to spend like $15 a person or less (excluding alcohol), but I don't know if that's really doable. Willing to do a weeknight.

I don't.

However, I think we should all support male go-go pizza night in Carroll Gardens.

I saw that article. Am I the only one who finds something especially unappealing (sexual preference aside) about eating PIZZA while watching half-naked dancers?

so far you are

half-naked dancers >>> waiting 90 mins for the opportunity to get a $25 pizza at lucali

re: the topic of 67 burger which came up on one of these threads (can't find it thru search)

joe, you are nuts. this place is delicious. and $30 for two premium fancy-topping burgers, beerz, and giant serving of cajun sweet potato fries is making this place seem more appealing than taking the g up to dumont for a burger fix...

I tried Nicky's finally. I had never had banh mi before so I have no comparison. But I thought it was a nice, tasty sandwich alternative, especially at $5. That combination of meat/pickled veggies/slightly sweet fish sauce is just ace in general.

i eat at 67B whenever i have to dash to BAM Cinematek w/out eating.

i've said it before & i will say it again: fuck a dumont, their burger sucks and has only gotten worse.
