They make a/c units with a fan, I think? Just not common.

yes to drinks always. max and i were thinking about next thursday?
if i am getting a man with a van, and there are two guys, and the bill is x, do i tip them each 0.2x, or do i tip 0.2x total and have them split it?
― caek, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 17:30 (ten years ago) link
kinda depends on x I think
― iatee, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 17:32 (ten years ago) link
x is 120
― caek, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 17:33 (ten years ago) link
maybe tip them each 15?

Meant to come to that thing a few Fridays ago, but had to work later than I thought and had a ticket to see Marisa Monte at the Beacon- it was the first time she's been here in seven years. And to think I thought this board had cured me of liking music.

has anyone ever taken the M60 bus from the UWS to LGA for an early (like 6am) flight? is it OK?
― caek, Thursday, 18 July 2013 17:48 (ten years ago) link
i've never taken that bus, but at that hour (pre-rush hour) i think it should run pretty close to schedule -- busses in NYC, at least the ones I've taken in brooklyn, are pretty good about keeping to schedule.
― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Thursday, 18 July 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
yeah the schedule seems pretty reliable here based on my upper manhattan experience
― caek, Thursday, 18 July 2013 19:08 (ten years ago) link
the nyc bus system is an amazing resource that everyone forgets exist
― iatee, Thursday, 18 July 2013 19:15 (ten years ago) link
generally as a rule of thumb the less frequently a bus runs the closer it comes to on time, but the more frequent buses run so frequently it almost doesnt matter
― max, Thursday, 18 July 2013 19:25 (ten years ago) link
the only bus line i ever used was cut

yeah i have been here several times before, but this is the first time i've taken the bus, and i'm 100% sure it's because i have a smartphone now that suggests i take the bus.
― caek, Thursday, 18 July 2013 20:01 (ten years ago) link
i do what it tells me
― caek, Thursday, 18 July 2013 20:02 (ten years ago) link
if you memorize relevant bus lines its like a secret pass that can get you places faster sometimes
― iatee, Thursday, 18 July 2013 20:03 (ten years ago) link
like if you see a bus on the street already there and know where it's going it might be better than waiting for the subway
will i know the one to get from my place to the dmv/target so i'm basically all set

otm. Hopstop has really good bus info now, I've been taking the bus a bunch more lately.
― dmr, Thursday, 18 July 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link
Have taken the M60 bus at other times and it runs well in my experience. They recognize that it is an airport conduit. Gotta allow some extra time for vagaries of surface travel regardless.

not that it really affects caek but the m60 in the news recently:http://secondavenuesagas.com/2013/07/16/nimby-obsctructionism-leads-mta-dot-to-shelve-m60-sbs-for-now/

The M60 is a godsend on the UWS.
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 19 July 2013 03:04 (ten years ago) link
yeah it seems like LGA is actually the easiest airport for me to get to?
― caek, Friday, 19 July 2013 03:12 (ten years ago) link
you live somewhere near Columbia right? Newark is pretty easy too from penn station
― iatee, Friday, 19 July 2013 03:17 (ten years ago) link
yes lga
― mookieproof, Friday, 19 July 2013 03:18 (ten years ago) link
lga looks easiest because no change, ewr next, and it looks like i am never taking an early flight from jfk

I took the M60 at 4 AM once, it was fine

i do need to figure out the nyc bus system though, waiting around above ground in 100 degree heat > waiting around below ground in 130 degree heat as piss smell effervesces from all around

and when you finally get on a train and you realize that that particular car's a/c is fucked

yeah I totally jump on buses to avoid the heat

i've moderated my beard because of the heat so i should be ok
i took a crosstown bus last night to go to a cinema on the UES (full of old people who talked and clearly couldn't hear the dialogue, typical for the UES i presume?) and after 2 hours in a/c in the cinema and 20 minutes on the bus, i was *freezing*. i got off a few stops early to walk home i was that cold.

There are lots fewer theaters on the UES than 20 years ago, but this is standard on the UWS (Lincoln Plaza etc) for sure.

i saw fruitvale station on opening night at angelika. that was in probably the worst screening room i've been to in the US. weird long thing layout so you feel like you're looking down the wrong end of a telescope, and subway noise. smelt less mouldy than the E 86th St place though tbf.
i thought landmark was very good though.

angelika is brutal with the 6 train noise
