i go to new york

In America you literally drive on the right side of the street. Hope that helps

so right, it's wrong

caek! how did it go?

fuck, i'm an idiot. i didn't see that the thread had been revived so i searched for it and asked the question before looking at the responses above.

he still didnt answer i guess they sent him back across the pond

i did pass

he had some very nice things to say about my driving

e.g. "leaving curb, uses mirror only fails to check blind spot'

'excessive space for parking, too far from curb'

great job caek!

'when changing lanes fails to observe'

wow how did u pass frankly

i got 20 points but you need more than 30 to achieve the elite honour of failing the NYS road test

i am in the top 1% of drivers in nyc and he was charmed by my accent

i am sure you can achieve 30 pts next time i believe in you

did u try to buy drugs from him thats a no no

my instructor said "oh shit, you get a pass out of this guy you can drive for the queen of england" when he saw the examiner coming

i did get confused when he asked me to do a k-turn, wtf is a k-turn

i though it was a drug thing maybe?

also seriously i did get in a muddle doing the k-turn and came out of it driving on the left ha

its when u yank on the emergency break and jump over a cop car

red hook is very nice to drive around, very chill

yeah not a lot of traffic down there, no where to go

we went to ikea and got meatballs and expedits

you and the driving instructor are getting to know each other pretty well at this point

you would be the best driver in Florida

he sounds p chill, whats he up to later?

you shd tell him abt this one fun msg board you post on, i bet he'd vibe p well w/ it

Haha is it really literally 2 degrees right now

not leaving house til it's 6

not leaving house til the first degree fahrenheit is a 2, or possibly 3.

sort of wrong thread for it, but anybody have any experience with the heaving beast known as A&E Real Estate? They just bought our wmsburg tenement building from Dermot Company, who've had it since 2007. Hoping A&E won't actually be worse than Dermot who were pretty shitty.

(Oh wait SORRY SORRY these are just the management companies not the owners, they have no connection to the owners whatsoever, perish the thought)

What are good activities and places to go to in Brooklyn (FYI I've never been but I'm asking for a friend)

Think "Britisher who is in town for a week and wants to check out this cool new place called Brooklyn"

I could only recommend Wburg for walking around

Everything else seems like a 'destination' like you just end up there and drink cocktails for 5 hours before going back to your apartment

my kind of vacation

go to brooklyn heights and walk past the beautiful houses and along the promenade, then go get drinks and dinner at long island bar

brownstone brooklyn is pretty charming, they will say to themselves "oh just like london" and feel comfortable and like they are just as cool as this so called "brooklyn" idk walk across the bk bridge then to the heights promenade through cobble hill on to dinner on smith st

ha xp

Well whaddya wanna do, play mini golf??

Brooklyn Museum
Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Prospect Park
Coney Island/Boardwalk (some attractions not open this time of year but there's an aquarium there and there's always the historic sights)
Eat the greatest lamb kebabs at Varenichnaya in Brighton Beach (cash only)
Greenwood Cemetery, for a snapshot of the natural Brooklyn landscape plus the resting places of lots of famous people, interesting historical documents, etc.
MTA Transit Museum located in an actual defunct subway station in Downtown Brooklyn

...

you can work in the brooklyn bridge and dumbo too if you want to make a longer day of it

er xpost

*thumbs up*

This is gonna be exciting to take them, excited to see for myself what brooklyn is like

oh duh go to the transit museum of course too... and the botanical gardens are really nice.

Actually I just remembered the Ikea in Brooklyn

That'd be a great place to go

Could even take the ferry

excited to see for myself what brooklyn is like

you should sell this joke to Neil Hamburger

Would probably be too raw for him
