i go to new york

cololonia verde is the place that sets meat on fire in tea towels, right? i like that place but it doesn't seem very world cuppy. joe is right though i walked down dekalb last night and every place is showing it.

io: i have no idea how busy places will be! your guess is better than mine, since i have previously watchd WCs in england and west texas. but with that many options on the same block i think 3 will be ok.

you seem set for the next 2 days, but anyway

England: Black Horse Pub, Park Slope

“It’s going to be mental”

no THANK YOU.

good list though, thanks! will be branching out from ft g as things proceed

i love watching you lot go mental

its gonna be mental m8 a real dust up a true tosser a genuine screwkie rookie dont be late ring me up if u need directions on the footpath

a true tosser

well they won't move my dr apptmt off 4pm tomorrow. should i come to the Cup bar first and fill my blood with alcohol?

I watched the Zidane headbutt game at Alibi, it was awesome

I have tickets for a Sunday matinee on BROADWAY.

BROADWAY

someone on twitter asked 'who are the ny jets of the world cup?'

everyone replied 'england'

Best thing about Broadway is all the ticker-tape parades for Italian diplomats and transatlantic adventurers and Dev recorded on the pavement.

Wait is the World Cup being played at Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium?

citifield

if you flip it the other way around, the ugly truth is that england are really the cowboys of world cup footie. but unfortunately they are probably the closest analogue to the jets in this tournament as well. big market team with unrealistic expectations, won it all once back in the 60s, usually end up a laughing stock. this has kind of ruined my day.

I go to new york in a couple weeks. I want to watch games, but not somewhere mental please

NOW they moved me to the a.m. caek, it's Black Forest today?

ha sorry just woke up oh dear

i'm going to get coffee and check black forest. if it's crazy busy then i'll watch spain netherlands at the great georgiana, which was v civilized yesterday. will post back.

but yes, i'll be watching at least the 3pm game somewhere in ft g, maybe also australia/chile, although that has the ring of an appalling game to me.

adam post here or drop me a line on fb when you're here!

ok!

Ugggghhh I wanted to get out for the 3pm but I'm not done with this project yet and I feel like crap, think I'm in. Cheer for Mexico for me.

so you guys all had rough nights last night huh?

In the sense that I didn't start my newsletter until like 8pm and then someone came over to be interviewed which took another hour, and I stayed up until 4 transcribing that and writing copy.

Mexico finished a while ago! Spain Netherlands at 3. Still getting going so not sure about venue for that yet. I think the owners at great g are Australian so if I watch the 6p game it will be there.

Sounds good tbh.

xxpost ah whoops I was sort of hoping that everyone's rough nights were more drinky.

Black Forest fine and not too busy but kinda $$$ for someone not drinking so am going to great g. All welcome. #liveblog

Good thing Mr Immobile here ducked into a library. I should be there by 3:15. Is there food at GG?

if youre not drinking i guess there is

i bet you didn't even though there is an Italian player named Immobile

Yes there's food. Will be there in 10.

I'm staying in Chelsea Tuesday-Thursday and I literally have not been to that neighborhood in close to 15 years. But I chose it as it's close to Penn Station and I found a cheap airbnb. Is there anywhere that isn't exorbitantly expensive to eat around there? I wanna eat some interesting food when I get in, probably on the late side, and nowhere where I will feel weird eating alone.

Also looking for recommendations for art spaces to check out, not museums or commercial galleries, I know about those.

Oh and I suppose somewhere to watch the fucking world cup

The Chipotle "Test kitchen" is there and I think Co. too

that sounds good.

I like testing food

but...Chipotle...

izakaya ten at 10th and 23rd is set up for solo diners and happy hour is v cheap, but it finishes early so no good for your arrival

still. i put it on list

USA game on thursday noon?

yeah izakaya is good i recommend it, they put like an entire stick of butter on the cod

Can anyone show me a Southern Thai restaurant?

xp-yeah I could maybe do USA game, or some of it. I'm leaving late that day and trying to cram in all the food/culture I can before I wander back into the deep woods.

I'd also like to buy a bike bag

to put a bike into?

yeah

i bought my bike at sid's on 19th. they were nice and it is a big place. i don't know if they have bags though.

no

bag to replace this bag (which I broke)

well they have accessories incl panniers but they it's kind of a spandex/yuppie place so dunno if they will have what you need

pok pok ny is v good thai and has a fun bar across the street but it is 1) northern thai 2) kind of a trek 3) not especially cheap
