New York City is for sellouts

i like how this is just the nyc chat thread now

if you can't beat 'em, discuss regional obscurities until they go away.

M Shanghai's soup dumplings are AWESOME.

I also have to give props to the high-end indian in NY. I really loved Amma and Devi, especially Amma since it's so cozy. Definitely places to let the parents pay, if you're so lucky to have parents in the area who like to take you to nice restaurants.

let's do this right...

sellout this!

the cauliflower dish and the lamb chops at devi are amazing.

i rly rly want to go to devi

hay dan is there a cover for yr party - some pre post or mid party dancing sounds just right

no cover.

sweet

That guy is more than welcome to move away from New York at any time. But I can understand that he has to live somewhere with public transit, it's hard to drive when you're looking so far down your nose. So his options probably ARE limited.

Ha! Before I got to the middle of the second sentence I thought the voice sounded familiar and unpleasant.

guys where can i buy a toy siren in this city? like this one:

so far have tried two different toy stores and a kmart (i wasn't really holding out hope for kmart but it was on my way back to work)

i rrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly would prefer not to set foot into a ricky's today but if ppl are pretty convinced this item might be there, i might do it. but i want some back up before i trek into a ricky's.

Oh my god not Ricky's. Would they even HAVE a toy siren?? I don't think I've ever seen such a thing?

What we need here is to know a cop.

well the one i posted is called something like "party dj siren" so you know. i mean i imagine it's the type of thing you can find VERY easily in a spencer's gifts in phoenix arizona but not so much here (in searching the internet i actually came across a story of a person claiming to have been ticketed by nypd for having one in his bike basket because he was "impersonating a cop").

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY MATT DRUDGE IF I DON'T HAVE A SIREN >:[

i'm just going to stay home!

every time i think this, either something bad just happened, or something bad is about to happen

Ummmmmmmmmm

i should walk into the precinct on 35th and just ask them. "excuse me, you know those sirens you give to undercovers so they can put them a top their cars when they go into pursuit? can i have one? i have to dress up as internet minor celebrity matt drudge tonight."

surely they'd see it my way.

are there loft parties in nyc still or have they mostly been priced out and everybody goes to bars/clubs now

i mean like, one not held by a septuagenarian dave mancuso

there are still tons of loft/house parties

we call them hill parties

or heights parties

there's a new-ish hotel on meeker overlooking the bqe. my favorite incongruously -located best western is the city view in long island city, opposite the cemetery.

i heard from "a friend" has it they have hourly rates

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY MATT DRUDGE IF I DON'T HAVE A SIREN

you and/or ghost rider has a stupid hat already??!?!?!?!?!

might hit up dan's thing

xpost - loft parties are for 22 year olds and people into "the fetish scene"

and there's max xposts

of course we have a stupid hat. do you even know us.

cos a question like that makes me question your commitment to our friendship

the ricky's by my office has a line down the street! and a guy directing people! chaos.

someone brought a party dj siren to plant bar back in the good old days when dan s djed there. it was the best accessory ever.

uh, jon, im 23 fyi

ps what does it mean when you put "friend" in quotes

ok so ricky's is out. so i either go as a sirenless drudge or i come up with something else. i could go as eli manning but i'd have to go to american apparel to get leggings. maybe i should just be a GROWN ASS WOMAN and not wear a costume.

xpost it means she was a prostitute, max

"party dj siren"

didn't click yr link but they have all this stuff at Guitar Center I think? n.b. the Guitar Center I know of is way the fuck out in queens

oh, what about party city or some other party supply store?

there's a guitar center on 14th between 6th & 7th.

I think there's one at Atlantic Center!

sorry ally im only 23 i dont have any "friends" and i still go to "loft parties" with "fetishists"

well don't "apologize" to me, you sound like my "boyfriend" basically

anyway i am trying to search thru some of the guitar center info. i wonder if maybe i am overdiong it -- watch, i'll walk into walgreens and they will have an amiable substitute.

that looks like a zagat review

xpost

"amiable" was not the word i was looking for there

boy"friend"

did i do it right

"right"

"do it" lol

yeah I couldn't find a siren on gtr center website
they carry all those spinny lights and fog machines tho
but if they actually have one it might cost $$

yeah :\

will dressign up as matt drudge make sense without the siren? i mean the concept probably won't make sense to at least half the ppl i have a chance of seeing tonight anyway even with the siren so...?

new york city is for halloween undecideds

my gf's little nephew has a little siren that works on batteries. i just emailed his mom to see where they got it.

ally, we're gonna find you a siren.

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST :D
