54-46, that's my number: the Queens thread

I'll be on my way out then.

There is irritating mistake in their Film Composer exhibit. Example given for Antonio Carlos Jobim is "Manhã de Carnaval," which he had nothing to do with.

You many notice future uptick in my use of reaction GIFs.

See if you can spot photo of Paul Robeson amongst The Actors.

Had to turn back ... I got soaked to the skin in 2 minutes BECAUSE OF COURSE THE STORM CAME AT THE "PERFECT" TIME. Hopefully I make 6pm Chrysanthemums.

Sorry, but remember to be thankful for the time the storm cleared up just in time for the Ian Hunter show.

Spoke too soon. Exact same thing just happened to me only at least I was on my way home.

Guy I know who is an academic studying history and film is doing a presentation on the Unisphere at Terraza right now.

My first set of clothes from yesterday still not dry

QBPL website had a makeover.

a one-bedroom rental in the Maximilian, whose amenities include a gym, a landscaped roof deck and bike storage. He pays about $2,700 a month for his apartment

I know this post was from a month ago but ...... 2700 for one bedroom in LIC! that is nuts.

like someone recently wrote, ppl in these towers live above LIC.

a skyline view and a roof deck is nothing to sneeze at but damn, you can get 2 bedrooms in Park Slope for that much.

Can you really?

This puts the median Park Slope 2Br at $3,100, so I guess in theory there must be 2Brs out there for 2700, although I'm guessing they're those 700 sf carved up dealies.

I didn't really want to be like "here's what I pay in rent" but my rent is only slightly higher than that for a 2 bedroom off 7th Ave.

I mean it's probably not the norm (I think we got a little lucky) but it exists. (xpost)

Yeah cause if that was easy to find in Park Slope I would be kicking myself a little for not looking in Park Slope.

Although it's still more than our all-in cost of owning in a co-op where we are, with probably much more square footage for the price.

oh looks like Lefferts Gdns or bust for me if i am to avoid changing boroughs

xp - we were surprised to find it tbh. mostly were looking in Ditmas Park, Windsor Terrace and Kensington. this was like a year and a half ago.

I kinda like that area. haven't been around there a ton but 4lex and 4lly are there now

Music now starting at 8 on weeknights at Terraza. Check out their listings and new ad on page 48 of the NYC Jazz Record http://nycjazzrecord.com/

I just now came across the song that explains the title of this thread.

"Funky Queensborough"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/54-46_That's_My_Number

Knew that. Was making joek on other song title by same artist.

don't know anything about him, just came across that title!

you don't know Toots and the Maytals?

Not really.

RIP, Terraza, looks like. :(

Stop Worker Order sticker on the window.

Dan! I'm shocked!

Facebook page says they'll be open on Monday. (Xp)

Dan, have you ever listened to the soundtrack of The Harder They Come?

Nope.

Well then I think it's high time for you to get into reggae, cowboy.

I like some. Got tons of Augustus Pablo and King Tubby and really love Sister Nancy, but there's only so much time in a day, you know?

Fair enough.

Lots of horns honking in the hood this evening

We're trying to avoid Astoria until after the sports are over.

If only I had made it to one of those terazza shows. Maybe they'd still be in business.

They are back open as of last Monday. Did you miss that post?

Oh good.

I had one of those only in queens moments tonight where my train was stuck for a really long time and I wound up in this long conversation with an old Greek guy, a bunch of Indian tourists on their way to check out Costco and a somewhat meek southern baptist recent transplant from Virginia

Lots of honking tonight too. Some guys that play with Hermeto visiting from Brazil at Terraza tonight

Good drummer too, playing a lot more than when I've seen him before. Inspired by the visit from his compatriots.

Columbia won. Was driving home through Jackson Heights. crazy.

damn that sounds like fun, I kind of want to go to Jackson heights now.

Here we go again

Hurting, you got to make a point of heading over to JH to see Ari Hoenig one of these days.

In honor of Bobby Womack passing, thread should be renamed Across 111th Street.

Across 111th Street, Place, Drive, or Road?

Haha, that's what thread title should be.

Avenue.

Wonder what happened to hippie busker on 82nd. He was pretty good. Did a solid version of "Sister Goldenhair" a few weeks ago.

Great show at Terraza tonight. They are on break now so you can run right over for second set.
