New York City is for sellouts

if i were less busy today, i'd claim a dr. appt and hop on the 2/3.

if anyone ever wants to go to tom's on a monday, which is my day off, i am totally 100% down for it. also sometimes on fridays if i get up early enough.

hmm, maybe i will go to tom's tomorrow after i vote. never been there before.

i hope jhoshea has not left yet cuz we're gonna do this shit around 12:30 now.

tom's is really, really awesome.

does it have chicken and waffles? cause if it doesn't i think i will prefer mike's.

no chicken and waffles :( there is a place on the same block that does, though.

I'm off today, but I can get to Tom's in 2 minutes:(

do we live on the same block, VP?

lunch was yummy and the company was nice :)

yesterday i went to that new huge korean spa in flushing - it was pretty fucking awesome - my only complaint is nothing was quite hot enough - they dont sweat like the russians

i really want to go! mr. lauren was like, "are you crazy."

tom's is cool

love when there's a line and they bring oranges and coffee while u wait

unexpectedly good: their huevos rancheros

mizzell do you live over there too? I vote at the school on Washington right down the street from tom's

Uhh I think I might be voting in the nabe as well since I never changed my address with the city.

we just walked by your old bldg the other night on the way to chavella's

yah lauren you should go its pretty ludicrous and fun - theres a sign when yr leaving that says "stop! are you dressed?"

i love this place http://www.wallstreetbath.com too which is not nearly as huge and gleaming - more of a hardcore russian sauna type situation

best sign ever.

dmr, I live in ft green (vote on adelphi), but will be taking advantage of having the day off: vote, leisurely breakfast, fish n chips lunch with champions league soccer, and roasting a chicken for dinner.

hay thanx for comin out ice craem, was a pleasure!
so full still.

yah dude - i webmaild u v records btw

re records

did you guys talk about the new subway map
http://www.kickmap.com/images/7_wholemap_comparison.jpg

lol g'bye cartographical accuracy hello tufte

Man, Staten Island sure looks close to Manhattan in both those…

whaaaaaaaaat subway map is changing ????/??????sdkjbsd

dude we cant be gogin all euro in the wake of or nations greatest victory wtf

btw old map not at all cartographicaly accurate

It looks even more like a sexual health diagramme now... is Rockaway the prostate now or something?

omg i think im going to cry and move to france now

It's OK, don't worry, it's all part of Obama's grand plan to turn the US into a European Socialist Scrounger's Paradise, etc. Today yr subway maps, tomorrow - nationalised healthcare or something WACKY like that.

cool historical subway maps here
http://www.nycsubway.org/maps/historical.html#1970

I'm going to be in NYC in January. I am going to get really really lost, aren't I?

i dunno just take yr chunnel map w/you that should work just as good as our subway maps apparently

Dude, I was trying to get to QUEENS, what am I doing in BRUSSELS?!?!?!?

1972 was the last good one

I find New York pretty easy to find your way around in since the river provides a convenient north south axis.

"north"/"south" axis

is that new map for real, like up in subway stations? i think i am opposed to the idea of buying a subway map that fits in my pocket instead of picking up freebies and losing them at my convenience.

Yes, max I am aware that it is "new york north"

so no one wants to talk about how both of those NYC subway maps tom posted look like a flacid little cock n balls in profile?

i think someone did say that actually

Well, it's nice to know who has me killfiled, innit?

Manhattan is easy enough to navigate but I can't remember how Queens works - I did once work it out, in terms of Avenues and Roads and Streets and Courts or whatever, but I have forgotten. I haven't lived in NYC since there was a Democrat in the White House.

Dude, cell phones have google maps now; don't sweat it!

Oh man the 1951 map is awesome.

what is going on with the rockaways in that subway map

It's a nice feeling when you realize you've officially become part of the jaded, bitter, heartless new york mass. It's everything I ever thought I'd be when I was a wee one.

i think that new map looks nice

lol @ drunken middle of the night me getting upset abt the new subway map

jamaica bay does look really weird and wrong tho

it's better than that shitty new taxi logo
