Micheal O' Muircheartaigh Quotes
"... and Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, i'll tell ye a little story. I was in Times' Square in New York last week,and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a news stand and I said 'I suppose ye wouldn't have the Kerryman would ye?' To which,the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me and he said 'do you want the
North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?'... he had both...so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feet..."

I was tryna beat darragh to the quote. You see, because I'm also a big fan of Michael O' Muircheartaigh

who isnt right

well i mean this is it

seriously, queens is boring.
go to the wythe, ace or standard and mingle with europeans like 99% of tourists do.

m∞kiepr∞f

damn dmac d∞bting my bonafides

rumham goin ham

ugh, meanwhile I am back to the Craigslist grind hunting for apartments again. Curse this wretched city.

the only time i've been to queens was to visit irish people

We have an "irish gastropub" seemingly run by actual irish people in our neighborhood now.

I live in the irish neighborhood, and it's gotten slightly less Irish in the 7 years I've been here, but there's still plenty of presence and visitors from the old country.

you can even buy irish newspapers at a bunch of places here

if only new york had some irish bars

Is there an English neighborhood?

Or a Scottish one, or Welsh?

There is cool stuff in Queens though! As an archi-tourist I maybe favor weird buildings and things that nobody else would care about. But for example I had a great afternoon a couple months ago, traipsing around Forest Hills Gardens (early 20th century garden suburb, nice planning, lovely "town square" moment, and just one super-cute super-expensive house after another - improbably not gated), and then on to Forest Park, which is exactly what it says in the name: trees, lots of 'em. Plus hills. One of the more "out of the city" moments I've had here. With the autumn colors going, it really felt like growing up in Georgia and going on a nature hike at the state park or something. I still need to hit up Flushing Meadows.

And of course LIC has PS1, Museum of the Moving Image, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Noguchi Museum... and on the way, check out Roosevelt Island, both for the aerial tram ride over the river, and for the (sadly incomplete) late 1960s idea of a new Brutalist "main street." Love that place. Here's to Queens!

how come ny irish bars are fratboy hellholes and boston irish bars are just ordinary neighborhood places, its counterintuitive

the ny irish bars in queens don't have any fratboys they just have scary 60 y/o irish dudes

yeah was thinking maybe its cause of the presence of irish people in boston that does it

FoHi Gardens really is worth seeing if you're already in the area. I don't know if I'd make a trip to Queens just for that on a trans-atlantic visit to NYC, but if you're looking for interesting out-of-the way stuff you could always do that and combine it with a meal at the Michelin-rated Danny Brown, or the more casual but very good Nick's Pizza.

Forest Park is also neat because at first it seems like a more badly maintained Prospect Park, but then it has actual nature/light hiking trails that really make you feel outside the city.

And I do think a trip to Flushing is worthwhile for the food and atmosphere.

I usually take tourists to jackson heights for indian food

it's easy to get to and a walking around jh gives you a pretty good sample of queensy stuff

dont goto queens

oh now I see dayo already mentioned irish newspapers I should read threads

jh gives you a pretty good sample of queensy stuff

You will have seen where i thought this referred to lagoon here for a second

Thanks for this its all goin in the xls

Or a Scottish one, or Welsh?

I don't know specifics of Scottish immigration besides my own family's anecdata, but it's never seemed like Scots tended to gather in any partic area that I've heard of (besides the Appalachians).

Iirc my forbears were weavers and spread out into mill towns in the Northeast and from there into coal mines, but didn't stay centered around NYC.

Scots ppl dont gather they amass iirc, more than three scottish ppl is known as a 'mob' and it is for fear of meeting such that we irish roam in clannish packs ourselves

Re: Queens for transatlantic tourists, again i think it all depend how long the visit is for...if you have three days in NYC, no, but maybe if you're around for a week? Nice to see other parts of the city. I always feel like if I just show people things in Manhattan, they can kind of come away having no idea how the city actually works or where most people live, etc.

We're aiming from sat til followin sunday, im more yr speed re not planning out days and feelin the city but iirc ill be handed an itinerary at the airport based on the accepted sights so itll be give and take

are u planning on visiting the 6th borough while yr here???

Not in the week we have tbh but come on up some evenin ill teach u some fuckin manners

Ey rumham shes lookin at queens btw

43rd ave, long island city, shuttle provided to airport/manhattan, ara thatll do.

is it the z hotel? I use their bathroom sometimes
