"dem damn new YAWKERS!"

Theyd probably just mention how their team beat the yankees after like a hundred years of losing.

it's ok..... what is it 26 championships for NY from in a 100 years?

yeah... that one win balances out. :confused: :(

[zanos]

It just might. That was the biggest collapse in sports history.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Th' FDNY sucks ass. I hate all firemen. They're overglorified a-holes.

An' my NY accent was one reason my wife found me attractive. She loves it. (She's from Jersey).

[zanos]

It's probably because she finds the jersey accent so repugnant that your New York accent probably sounds like french to her :)

When your house burns down, those glorified a-holes will be the ones running into your burning building to save your life:down

[WOLVERINE25TH]

HA! When my place catches on fire I'd deal with it myself. Firemen are overglorified MORONS. They can do NO wrong. Th' first time I EVER saw them get bad press was last January an' after. That's it.

These morons work high, drive drunk, STEAL from fires...but what do they get? Godly status an' women throwin' themselves at 'em. An' here's a news flash...durin' 9/11? An engine company was STEALIN' from a store in th' WTC mall.

Th' FDNY can go to hell.

[zanos]

Talk about misplaced anger. lol.

[Equint77]

It just might. That was the biggest collapse in sports history.

it happens in sports... it still doesn't erase 26 world series.

And it'll be stupid to think the Yankee's won't continue to outwin the Red Sox world series per world series.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I dunno, man, th' Yanks're chokin' big time this year. They've only finally gotten to first.

[Erzengel]

This isn't the first time this year they've been in first but the AL is really close this year with so many teams vying for Divisional Leaders and Wildcard.

But the last couple weeks the Yankees are doing really well. They need more consistant relief pitching.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

As long as we can differentiate 'tween them an' th' Mets again.

[Erzengel]

As long as we can differentiate 'tween them an' th' Mets again.

Well wouldn't the Mets have to win then? I don't mind the Mets but they aren't even .500 right now.

[Equint77]

Beltran, Pedro...

I wasn't expecting this. :(

[WOLVERINE25TH]

They were doin' much better than th' Yanks fer a good while. Was pissin' me off.

[Abaddon]

It's probably because she finds the jersey accent so repugnant that your New York accent probably sounds like french to her :)


I didn't realize the accents sounded different. :confused:

[WOLVERINE25TH]

They do. Jersey's got a bit o' a drawl to it.

[Abaddon]

hmm,never noticed.

I do, mostly 'cause my wife's from Jersey.

[Holly Goodhead]

l should make a Windy City thread, but theres only like...3 of us.

[Mr. Thing]

New York has great breakfast places.

[maxwell's demon]

you know what i love about NYC?
you can be standing outside of Virgil's BBQ on 44th (W. Side), waiting for a friend to arrive, and see 'Spider-Man' walk into a Mexican joint next door.

Then you can say "wait. was that Spider-Man?" and casually walk past the open door to the restaurant. And you can see Spider-Man, at the end of the bar, ordering a beer.
and no one in the restaurant is batting an eyelash.

[GunBlade]

Yep, celebs walk by everyday and everyone is going on with their business. :up:

It wasn't tobey maguire. I don't believe it was a Marvel representative, as he was drinkng a beer and didnt' seem in a very "professional" state of mind. It was just some guy in a full spidey suit wlaking around midtown. and no one seemed to care.:up:

Yo, WTF you people talkin' about? I've been in Central Park at night many times, never felt like nobody was gonna attack me. If yer gonna believe all th' hype then yer a fool. If yer gonna beleive all that crap's NY exclusive, yer a total MORON.

That's what I love, everyone assumes NY is this cesspool that's nothin' but crime. We have no more crime or problems than any other major metropolitan city. That includes Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc, etc, etc.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Hey, Central Park is cool at night, th' whole city is.

Okay, see, Chicago's #1 fer homicides. That's not New York, that's not even NEAR New York. That only shows that any city at any time can take th' lead in somethin' like that. That's what happens when ya have a couple million people livin' in a small space; about 3 million of them are gonna turn out to be murderous morons.

Speaking of Times Square... I love the israelites who stand there cursing everyone else out.. calling this person a devil and that person a devil..

They're troopers though.. I've seen them out there at 2 AM yapping away.

[Abaddon]

haha,I remember that thread.PWND!:D

[Equint77]

Fact:

DeWitt Clinton.. while he was mayor of New York City came up with the grid...

which is why we now have 12 avenues and about 180 some odd streets in manhattan.

He wanted getting around NY easy so he basically reconstructed the city and made the structure what we now know.

[Equint77]

The First beer brewery in the US was started in Lower Manhattan near the financial district.

General Tso's chicken in chinese food menus was created in NY.

Other than that it's tough to get lost in manhattan.

5th avenue seperates east and west.. so if you want to go to east 45... just make a right on 5th aveue.. West 45th street make a left.

That place is like the bermuda triangle of manhattan.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

So I am going to New York for Christmas... well, December 20th through the 23rd, just a few days.

First time though, so I want to do stuff that's synonomous with NYC, but not crap like TRL. Maybe the Statue of Liberty...

So thus, I make a "to do" list for when I visit New York:
- Visit Statue of Liberty
-See a play
- Bang gunblade

It's an ongoing list.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Well, can't get more NY than Ghostbusters. If yer a fan click th' first link in my sig fer those locations.

Also, check out th' tree at Rock Center. An' I recommend th' Empire State Building's sky ride. It's off th' hook!

An' fer halloween, check this out NY peeps: www.hauntedhousenyc.com I was gonna go but I'm too broke fer th' admission.

[jaguarr]

Statue Of Liberty in December? Be prepared to freeze your balls off! I don't think they let folks up in the inside of Lady Liberty anymore, either. Not since 9/11.

Empire State Building is way cool, particularly at night. Museum of Natural History is awesome. The Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center is a must see during the holidays. There's a nice view from Battery Park. Times Square is overrated, IMHO. There's a ton to see and do in NYC. It just depends on what you're into.

actually there's more people in TS at night than in the day.. the only thing is... at night they walk over the streets more so there just seems to be less crowded.

Naked Cowboy works round the year.. even winter. :confused: God damn weirdo.

The area where the Guggenheim is pretty nice.. it's right by the park.. it's a quiet area.

I guess it's all a matter of taste.. and in all fairness... TS can be a bit overwhelming if you're not used to it.

Picadilly Circus in England is a Times Square rip-off

This is lame but I still get overwhelmed when I drive through TS. Like you could just chill there and take it all in. Just the whole vibe of it, I cant explain. The only time I ever go is at night. Daytime, there isn't much excitement.

http://www.thelmagazine.com/

anyone living in NYC should pick one of these up.. they're free and they list everything that's happening around the city.

They run every 2 Wednesdays all around NY. You can find them at the Virgin Megastore in TS or in one of their booths around.

It's a great pick up.... and I'm not saying that cause I'm a volunteer photographer for the mag either. :D

Times Square is nice from a distance but it's filled with mindless tourists who don't know where they're going.

[NDX]

I don't usually notice when I'm in Times Square. I just go and get my stuff done and move along, as if it were nothing. On most occassions I barely seem to focus on it when I'm there.

The only thing that I will occassionally stop for is to see if the advertisements and accompaning buildings are photogenic enough (and not too bright) for my camera. So far, that has only happened twice.

[Abaddon]

I hate it when they stand in the middle of the street to take a picture.

That's one thing I never do. I know how bad traffic can get in that area and don't want to make it any worse than it already is.

[GunBlade]

So..who voted for Bloomberg?

[NDX]

Was there really any other choice?

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I didn't vote at all. One ******* or another? Some choice. Didn't help Bloomy any with me that Rudy was backin' him.

[Comic Book Boy]

My twin goes to Stony Brook.
Times Square is nice from a distance but it's filled with mindless tourists who don't know where they're going.
I went to Times Square, (as a tourist). It was great! I love NYC! (I wasn't a bad tourist, I promise) :batman::up:

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I hate Times Square. Too many people in one place, makes it impossible to move around. I avoid it as much as possible.

Gain 200 pounds and look menacing and angry. It works for me. No one bothers me and moves out of my way everytime I go there.

[Equint77]

Ferrer lost.... thank god.

Now I hope someone kicks his balls in when he walks the streets... Piece of ***** mutherf***er.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

No thanks, I'll just keep avoidin' th' Square. I prefer downtown anyways.

Sometimes Manhattan can be a lot of fun.

And I see you and Ferrer are on very good terms.

[Equint77]

Sometimes Manhattan can be a lot of fun.

And I see you and Ferrer are on very good terms.

Manhattan is wayy fun.... when I was out the Saturday before Halloween.. it was crazy... it was just past midnight... the bars were all packed.. people were walking in costumes... then vomiting on the streets. Fighting. It was like Mardi Gras.

:up: :up:

Oh and I hope someone punches Ferrer so hard he turns retard so I won't have to endure another one of his failing bids for Mayor.. It's 3 losses in a row.. he ought to get the hint... No one likes him.. not even his own wife.

[Equint77]

Don't you have to pay like 12 for a movie in the city?I'll pass.:o

10 bucks actually... but it's worth it if you have the money... they've renovated a lot of the theaters so at least you can see where those 10 bucks went.

it's the price of the food that kills me. I rememeber when I used to take my then GF out... I'd burn 20 bucks on snacks a night... and we probably went to the theater twice a week. :(

[WOLVERINE25TH]

S'why I only see movies in Brooklyn. $5.50 fer matinees that last until 6PM. Can't beat that.

[Equint77]

S'why I only see movies in Brooklyn. $5.50 fer matinees that last until 6PM. Can't beat that.

yeah.. there's this *****ty theater not too far from my apartment.. it's 5 bucks too on Saturdays..

the problem is I love the city and I spend most of my time here. It's too exhausting to go to Brooklyn then come back to the city. I'm not starving so I don't care paying the extra dollars.

Sigur Ros is playing the Garden next February... I might need to be getting me some tickets.. :D

Is it just me,or do people remember RUdy for being a better Mayor then he actually was?:confused:

[Equint77]

Is it just me,or do people remember RUdy for being a better Mayor then he actually was?:confused:

to be honest... Rudy had his flaws... but he was the first to drop the crime rate significantly back in 1996 and it kept decreasing during his terms.

I mean if you compare him to Koch and Dinkins.. Rudy did a superb job as mayor... Bloomberg is doing alright I guess.. but since he started... I've noticed an increase in the homeless around the city... I remember back when Rudy was mayor I'd hardly see homeless sleeping on the subway or on the trains.. now it's more frequent.

[Abaddon]

thats because Rudy was arresting them.:o

[Equint77]

true... at least they had a warm cell not a cold subway car. :(

[Abaddon]

warm cell?:confused:

[Equint77]

well the one I was in back in October was warm. :D

And for someone who's lived here all their life? If you're not used to all those things.. yeah.. you probably should move away. :spidey:

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Everyone loves Rudy 'cause of 9/11. A good number of his detractors jumped on th' Rudy wagon after that 'cause he was so great in handlin' it. What th' hell was he gonna do? Go on vacation with his thumb up his ass? He's wasn't th' PRESIDENT, after all.

I hear what yer sayin', Retro. My gal currently lives 4 hours away an' we'd love to move somewhere together, but need money to start a life an' I doubt we could afford NY livin' any time soon. Binghamton is nice. It's like a small NYC; not too small to be a country town, but not too big to be crowded. It's just right.

You and I are the opposite. I want to live in Manhattan, but I feel that I have to win the lottery to do so! I just visited Manhattan for a week in October, looking at apartments. I know now how much it's going to cost to rent. I could certainly get a nicer apartment for the same amount of money in Chapel Hill, N.C., than I could in Manhattan. This fact has me thinking hard about my dream of living in the Big Apple. Yet, Manhattan is unique. I don't think there is another place in the world that gives me the feeling of energy that Manhattan gives me. It's why I have to try New York for a while, regardless of the outcome. I definitely don't want to stay where I live now.

Of course, living somewhere is not the same as visiting. There is a chance that I could hate Manhattan after a couple months of living there. If that happens, my second choice would be Chapel Hill. I went to college there, and it gives me a little bit of that Manhattan feel on a much smaller (and cheaper ;) ) scale.

When i was younger , i loved NYC (I still have a love/hate thing for it) would'nt of left for anything but now i'm getting older, and it's getting more expensive ,the MTA i feel is robbing everyday people, trying to make ends meet , the crowds of people ,I'd just like to live a laid back life where every thing is a little slowed down and not so fast pace , actually my girlfriend and i are very interested in moving some where in either north or south carolina , she was there over the summer visiting family and said its the place for us . so I guess we're on oppisite sides of the spectrum .

i would just like to add that the spring time and the holiday season are 2 great times to be in nyc it feels like electricity is in the air and are the best time to be here

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I didn't wanna leave till I met my wife. But as she currently lives upstate an' we have no funds to establish a life fer each other here I'm anxious to get th' hell out an' close our gap in any way, shape or form.

We are truly at different ends of the spectrum. I also enjoyed being in a small town in North Carolina for many years because of exactly what you want: a more laid-back and slow-paced lifestyle. But, I'm at a point in my life in which I want to be in a more lively, fast-paced atmosphere.

I agree that being in Manhattan during the Christmas season would be fabulous. I was actually thinking of making a shorter trip to Manhattan in December. But, I keep thinking it would be best to save that money for the eventual move, which I'm absolutely going to do within the next two years. I hope to relocate sooner than that, but a lot depends on how things go economically for me. I also want to save to go next year to Colombia, South America, where my mother lives. I'm still tempted to go see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center though. I have a calendar that features scenes from New York City. The picture for December shows all the holiday decorations surrounding the statue of Prometheus above the skating rink. Absolutely gorgeous.

I wish you and your girlfriend the best in your hopes of relocating to one of the Carolinas. If you'd like, we can perhaps talk more about our mutual plans through PMs.

You know you can actually find affordable apartments in Manhattan... there are still a bunch available downtown around the Lower East Side... the thing is finding one at the right time.

But I'm glad to hear you loved Manhattan so much. Yeah it's chaotic but that's part of the experience. That's one of the things that I love about the city... there's always something going on.. all day and night.

[Marjorie]

I know you can! I even found some very good deals on apartments in the Upper East Side. Unfortuately, there's no way I could take advantage of any of them. When I saw that deals could be found though, especially if I hunt for apartments in January or February -- the realtor I used promised I could save a couple hundred dollars a month at that time of year -- I quit looking. I'm confident that I will find an affordable apartment when I'm ready. My biggest problem is having a job in place before I move. This is my top priority. My next stumbling block is getting rid of a house full of junk, so that my stuff can fit into a city apartment!

I agree with you that one of the exciting draws of New York City is that something is always going on. But, it's also the little things I love. Like having most everything you need within walking distance. I can't do or shop for anything that doesn't require a car where I live now.

Hey, Can I ask you guys for some advice?

I'm 18 and from the U.K. (although I don't post often I've been on here every night for 3 years) and am in what we call a gap year. From what I've heard this ain't that big in America, so basically after finishing my A-levels I've got a year free now before i start Uni in September.

Now This year is for travelling - and I havn't worked off my ass at pizza hut for 2 years to not go somewhere special. I wanna do atleast 3 weeks in NY (and one in Toronto while I'm up north) and wondered if you guys could suggest any hostels/attractions etc to go to. Acoomodation is my main problem and I can only really afford to hostel it, so if you have stayed at any good ones etc just tell me. It would be a great help as I'm gonna book for March probably, when the weather is crisp, but not deathly cold.

I've been twice before but only three day trips which really gave me a slight taster for it, so I wanna go, see the sights, meet some people, have a damn good time and have a proper browse in that Midtown comics.

[Equint77]

how long did it take you to look that up?:rolleyes:

If there are hostels in nyc they're likely not cheap. Btw comicon is coming to new york city in February just so you know.

[Equint77]

Dammit... I'm ready for it in February. I just hate that it's at the Javits... that damn walk.. especially in winter... god dammit.

I love the new rules the implemented on the subway.... by the way THE COPS ARE *******S!!!

Yah.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Just don't break any laws an' they'll leave ya alone. Is that so hard?

[Equint77]

not having an open container on the subway? People drink soda and snapple or gatorade all the damn time.. but now if they get caught the get fined or arrested.

How about now in the winter... the cops gonna bust people now who wanna keep warm with coffee or cocoa in rush hour? It's stupidity.

The changing subway cars? The cops must love being next to a smelly ass homeless person and endure the ride home.

These rules are stupid... and any cop out to bust someone for these things is a real @ass bag.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

It's called doin' their jobs. You want them to get fired 'cause they don't agree with it? ****, you'd lose half th' police force!

[Equint77]

They can do their jobs without sending out tickets for drinking a cup of tea.

But honestly..... like the "jay walking" they never fine.. I doubt these laws are gonna be implemented. I just think the new rules are stupid period.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Don't be so sure. Always got a couple overzealous jerkoffs in uniform. Couple years back this pregnant lady got a ticket fer sittin' on th' stairs in th' subway waitin' fer a train. Was also a guy who got a ticket fer sittin' on a milkcrate on th' street...

[maxwell's demon]

well i mean if he didnt have a permit for the crate-chair...

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Actually it's against th' law to use a crate fer anythin' other than it's intended purpose. Why, I have no idea. THAT is a dumb law.

[Equint77]

I think the cops have more to worry about than who's switching subway cars.

Honestly.. the cops should be making sure nothing gets blown up around the city.. not who's having their god damn orange juice.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Blame th' law makers, not th' enforcers.

All I can say is; I didn't vote Bloomberg. ****ing *******.

[Equint77]

You know.... I'd rather have a tree run NY than Ferrer. I didn't vote for neither but Bloomy was the lesser of 2 Evils.

Ferrer is a waste of life.
His "2 New York" thing screamed racial tension. Problems that haven't been around since Koch.

I want Rudy back. :(

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Rudy's still an ass. I didn't jump on that 9/11 popularity bandwagon.

[Equint77]

Him dropping crime rate and turning TS into Disney land as well as improving the economy.

He's also from Brooklyn.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

So I'm supposed to like him 'cause he's from Brooklyn? **** that! Was he better than Bloomy? Sure. He was still an *******.

[Equint77]

LOL.. I don't think you'll have to worry about him being Mayor again anytime soon.

[maxwell's demon]

Rudy wasn't great- and i think he did get overzealous in the times square dept. (Equint- have you ever heard hte PreWar Yardsale song about Times Square?)
But he did cut down the crime majorly. Still, i do think he's been sort of metro-Sainted after 9-11.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Indeed he has. My skin crawled every time I hadda be around that dork.

[Pksoze]

Rudy was a jerk...but he's competent.

If anybody remembers Dinkins...he was a moron. Racial Tensions, Rising Crime Rates, 42nd street was a toilet.

I'll take Rudy anyday..though he can be very overbearing.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Unfortunately.

[Abaddon]

So I'm supposed to like him 'cause he's from Brooklyn? **** that! Was he better than Bloomy? Sure. He was still an *******.


:up:.

[NDX]

Actually it's against th' law to use a crate fer anythin' other than it's intended purpose. Why, I have no idea. THAT is a dumb law.
It's to prevent people from stealing them from Supermakets. Supermarkets have a set amount they use, and some are returned to milk companies in order for them to keep a stable stock while they deliver more milk. If all the crates are stolen and used for other things, supermarkets would get no milk because they would have no crates to return to companies to get more milk.

How do I know this? I worked at Silver Barns for four months. ****ign hell, it was.

Didn't stop me from getting a few milk crates for my room.
