its pretty easy to pick up. people get way "into" it and im not @ that level yet mostly b/c im not very good.

o i will totally wear my raging inferno button down when we play

<3 catan. the only people i know who are really addicted to it are girls though.

which version do u play max

regular ol settlers. my dude in sf got the expanded edition so u can play w/ 5 or 6 ppl. ive heard mixed things abt 'seafarers' and 'knights' of catan

omfg stop ruining the bars thread guize

lol remember the good old days of the bars thread, before it was ruined by this settlers of catan talk

you have a dude in sci-fi?

a friend was totally scoffing at people who play the original - i think hes into traders and barbarians

of COURSE he does

so what if i have a friend in sci fi

Althought elements of this expansion were available separately from 2004 to 2007, this pack did not release in English until 2008. It combines elements of fishing, events, expanded trading, barbarian attacks, camel trains, and much more to make a more well-rounded playing experience.

i don't have many favorite bars... it's like what's cheap and nearby kind of thing.

frank's lounge next to my house is cute because it's quaint

i finally went to pete's waterfront -- that was not terrible, they had a good scotch ale.

i liked franks a lot the 1 time i was there but isnt it closed right now?

you know what's fun is Carcassonne

back in my day all we had was keep on the borderlands and we liked it

i know we all hate gowanus yacht club but free beer + free hot dogs there this saturday

i've never been to GYC, but Sat will be Citi Field and then Bell House:

APRIL FOOLS

april... fools

it's not...as funny

the last bit of that sign makes it sound like if you show up you have to help them set up

haha, feel better about non-free Shake Shack food @ Mets game

yeah i plan to show up at like 2pm or something, surely they will be done setting up their traditional "four broken ass picnic tables" with some chalk outlines saying "SMOKE HERE" by then??

i do like they are just advertising that justin will be there, i heard he just got back to india and therefore i do probably want to meet him and hear about his wonderful journey which was probably spiritual and life-altering too btw.

love me some justin

*free beer
*free hot dogs
*free conversation with justin

real crime is they missed out on a solid "this just in" pun

this just in... from india

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/specials/sma07/mag/justin_timberlake.jpg

hey there girl i just got back from india how you doin

i'm bringin chutneyback

hey fools

tell me about your favorite places to drink outside

it's pretty obscure, but there's this beer garden, sorry BIERGARTEN, in queens.

seriously though, it's great in the afternoon for lunch and drinks, but don't ever go after 5pm. Then it's intolerable.

daddy's backyard circa 2004
my backyard circa 2005

A scene in the Mrs Maisel show shows them walking into a bar with a giant sign on the window reading "Kettle of Fish" and I was never a regular at the Kettle but I don't think that was the Kettle.

― Conic section rebellion 44 (in orbit)

They were trying to portray the original location on MacDougal St. Now it's on Christopher St.

for awhile, the Kettle of Fish was the old (second) Folk City.

I was looking to see if Subway Soul Club is still around, but they host it in Gowanus now.

should i go here before it closes?

White Horse tavern sold

Villagers have heard that “exactly as it is” pledge before about such historic places as the Waverly Inn and the Minetta Tavern, which were then turned into playpens for the rich and the vacuous. However, since the buildings contain 17 market-rate apartments it appears this deal is not so much to acquire a historic pub, but more a real estate transaction....

Author and radio host Malachy McCourt told me that he was prepared to lead a wake at the White Horse. When I asked him if he was serious he emailed me, “Yes I am serious about the gig. Peter Carlaftes of Three Rooms Press asked me to do it. He lives in the Village and is appalled at the destruction of the artistic life. So the answer is of course Yes! So Thursday, 21st March at 4 pm and only the God-guy knows what will happen, but let’s go for it!”

When workers removed the bar from the former Grassroots Tavern (1975-2017) on St. Mark's Place last week, they discovered these old murals. I have no idea how old they old. The landmarked building dates to 1832. [Photos by Derek Berg] pic.twitter.com/rEPN7Ej2Zc
