i go to new york

Reynard's is pretty good. that corner of Wythe is an interesting cluster of nu-fancy Williamsburg stuff (Wythe Hotel, Brooklyn Bowl, Kinfolk etc.)

(interesting or appalling depending on your POV, personally I think the Ides - 6th floor bar in the Wythe, sick Manhattan skyline view - is kinda cool but I know a lot of people probably hate all that stuff)

bar across the street called fifth estate

julian assange theme bar?

I might be able to swing by, depending

I'll play good tunes

cv you always do stuff when i go to philly!

julian assange theme bar?

last wkend there was a "WikiLeaks Mobile Information Gathering Center" parked a block from my apt in wburg, basically a converted U Haul with a satellite dish sticking out the side of the cab

ha yeah I have seen that thing. was parked around Zucotti a lot during OWS.

ah shoot. would have been a good 'brooklyn experience'

xxp

also ippudo and all the big ramen places are fucking impossible to get tables at unless you eat at like 5p

little known #ippudohack if you just hang around the in the bar instead of giving them yr number a two hour wait can magically turn into a half an hour wait

joe have you been to any of the new bk ramen places like chuko or ganso

naw ive only been zuzu which is pretty meh but they have that japanese white owl beer i like

hitachino nest!

yeah love that stuff

i had their 'anniversary' edition over the summer, very good

theres a new ramen place on mott, bassanova, haven't been but seems legit, lines don't seem to be bad at all when I walk past, prolly not a 'thing' yet

Had hitachino nest at a ramen place here, v nice.

i love hitachino nest but its SO expensive

ganso and chuko are both pretty good i think, not ippudo level but decent neighborhood ramen places, also both have good wings and salad and stuff

chuko now has a standard 45-60 minute wait unfortunately

<3 love chuko. zuzu not so much.

are there any liquor stores that sell hitachino nest

the big place on washington ave in brooklyn and the one on bowery south of rivington both do

ty

god that stuff is expensive

always wanted to try Tsushima in midtown, on wednesdays and fridays they make 30 bowls of ramen for lunch. ippudo also opened a location in midtown, not sure if it is as crowded.

hitachino kinda overrated imo. brooklyn larder on Flatbush sells it too. they're probably marked up higher than the places max mentioned though.

gbx you guys have that cult beer up there

there's a bar here that has one of the hitachinos on tap, not nest, though :(

which one, heady topper? i tried it when i was in montpelier, but you can't get it over here in NH and apparently it sells out by sat afternoon every week (shipments on fri)

i think hitachino nest is the name of the brand but there's the white ale, red rice, some other brews

yeah heady topper xp

btw guys its real nice up here this time of the year

oh duh, brain fart, I am thinking of white ale

are you back in nh dawg

I had a little heady topper in VT but it wasn't THAT special

xp yeah man i moved back in late june

dang totally missed that where r u we shd kick it sometime

i'm in the upper valley, near d-mouth. i would definitely kick it, just gotta check my schedule (usually work 6 days a week)

yeah thats what my life is like m/l except w/o all the working and helping people and contributing to society, also like an hour north

anyway ill meet you at the conie club in like 3 mins

canoe

well executed joke

haha

i'm on call tonight :(

anyone recommend anywhere particularly nice to sit with coffee and work in kips bay?

A wasteland.

this was my impression. murray hill?

There's an Oren's there apparently (Kips Bay), which is a decent coffee place, but I don't know how much space they have.

i went to an indian restuarant, ha

hey guys

where should I go for a drink with Scottish people in Brooklyn, vaguely near 509 Atlantic Avenue, on Thursday night?

4th ave pub and pacific standard both have decent beer selection, and are on the same block. 4th ave pub also has a back yard and free popcorn.
