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

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)

oh ha

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

OK let's just talk about transcendent food experiences we've had in any of the five boroughs. I'm prepared to travel

Mission chinese would be fun and punchy and you wouldn't need any special guidance

I guess another transcendent food experience would be sushi - Sushi Yasuda, for example, and obviously very conducive to dining alone

There's one in the UES that I haven't been to but my friend says is good, catch is you have to travel there and write your name down for the res, they don't take phone ones

Expensive though, probably minimum of $50

Not remotely transcendent, but if you're getting in really late, and depending where exactly near Penn Station you are, Skylight Diner on 34th @ 9th is a totally passable all-night place. Nothing special but it's not gross and it's not exorbitant. French onion soup's aight.

koreatown is up around 33rd and directly east of penn station. there are lots and lots of great places to eat there if that's yr thing.

The most transcendent food experiences (that also won't be too expensive) are in Flushing tbh

But nobody will ever go there

E 1st St, New York, NY

Can we cruise for chicks? If so I'm in.

which beach do people prefer, jacob riis or fort tilden? also where does one park for fort tilden? just in that big jacob riis lot?

xp i think that might require a car + going to long island or jersey

jacob riis and fort tilden beaches are the same thing fyi m8
