I Love NYC

[NYGman]

Just had a nice dinner out in NYC with the wife and some friends, and on the way out, ran in to Adele. Another reason why I love NY.

Would that be Adele?

The last time I went to NYC it was 1993.

Thank you for listening.

Double post.

I was there for the first time this spring. It was great.

Now if only I could learn the difference between the edit and the quote button.

Anyways, I'm due for a trip there soon. I've already noted Burnaby's pub recommendations (while not a CAMRA member I too thirst for real ale). Any other top secret illuminati tips I should know about?

Wserra and Observer both highly recommended the Cloisters and it was great, I went twice. Way off at the extreme end of Manhattan but the A Train takes you almost to the doorstep. A ten minute walk through a beautiful park and you are there.

Speaking of trains get the one week subway pass even if you are not going for a week. Great deal and much more convenient that getting tickets. You can get it at JFK and use it to take the subway into town. Actually faster than the Air Porter. Wife and I stayed right by the Brooklyn Bridge down at the southern end of Manhattan but with the subway it didn't matter.

If you want real ale you won't get it in NYC, at least at any place I went. I targeted the historic pubs rather than the beer.

Ahem. You just didn't know where to look. An old list, but most of the beer engines still pumping it out. You shoulda asked.

And yes, the Cloisters is a unique place.

I batted 1,000. I didn't go to a single one of the establishments on that list. I'll just have to make up for it in my five week trip to Britain this summer.

I also really enjoyed Katz's Deli. Went three times. Great tongue sandwiches. They seem expensive but wife and I shared one for lunch and it was enough. Don't go Friday afternoons, just a madhouse.
