Thankfully I was watching a movie when that happened, came out and was confused why everything and everyone was soaked
Oh I had an umbrella and it did nothing.
My jeans were a brand new shade of blue after everything.

Just saw this on my feed, Bill Murray is bartending in Greenpoint this weekend: http://www.refinery29.com/2016/09/123271/bill-murray-bartending-brooklyn
That place is going to be a madhouse.

70's, feels soooooooo good
Really looked like someone tried opening it. But can't imagine why if they left the contents as is.
Looks like I'm gonna have to put away my shorts and tank tops soon.
Read about it on DNA Info. I would ask for a Manhattan myself. I imagine that a good chunk of the Taste WG audience would be happy to learn that their favorite Ghostbuster is in the city. But at the same time, it's a bit of a sad reminder on how heavily gentrified Greenpoint has gotten. I still like the area though and need to pay a visit to Peter Pan donuts for their dollar donuts.
Other stuff of interest that I wanted to share:
Here's a link to the aforementioned incident that NYCMetsfan mentioned/was in. Apparently the off-duty officer overreacted since he was in the way as the conductor came out of her cab: https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160914/lower-east-side/conductor-attacked-aboard-j-train-mta-says
LinkNYC is going to disable web browsing on the tablet's kiosks since neighborhoods have been complaining about people using it to watch porn and masturbate in broad daylight, watch movies, and squatting among other reasons:
In a bit of somber news, the suicide rate continues to rise in the city.
What makes this study even more sadder is that I read an article about an 80 year old woman who threw herself in front of the southbound 1 train at the Dyckman St station a few days ago. She left a suicide note with her brother. But on the flip side, cops managed to a save a guy who climbed onto the Macombs Dam Bridge to commit suicide.
Lastly, I think Devil Trigger's newly minted tag came as a result of a man who's set fire to a Muslim woman and 3 other women:

Define "cool"
Was gonna go to that tonight until I saw it trending on Facebook. Legit will be a madhouse.

Great, now I feel like going to Stickys.
Gothamist had a follow-up post about it and apparently it's a closed event.
Guess the only way to meet Bill Murray is start hosting random house parties.

i tried going over there yesterday but my Downstate friends didn't want to leave brooklyn, instead we ended getting eating here:
Sliver Rice offers raw fish over rice in a coffee cups, it's pretty neat:
the Lefferts Gardens location is becoming gentrified but it's still mixed. about a 5 min drive from SUNY Downstate
The San Gennaro Festival begins today and goes until next week; today is MoMA Free Fridays but it's going to be damn crowded with tourists; there's a Totally Public Karaoke happening from 6:00pm-10:00pm today at Riverside Park South; the Public Theatre is doing a live show of Hamlet at Marcus Garvey Park; The Met Breuer currently has a Diane Arbus exhibition until the 27th of November which I totally need to go check out.
The mayor was on his weekly 30 minute call in with Brian Lehrer today. He spoke of Bratton's retirement among other things.
And in the crazy crimes department, last night that a man attacked an off-duty detective with a meat cleaver on 32nd between 6th and 7th. The guy was trying to take off a parking boot off his car before he got disgruntled as cops approached and started swinging a meat cleaver; he got shot 18 times by 3 police officers.

I'm not surprised the cops shot a dude swinging a meat cleaver 16 times. Real question is how many rounds did they shoot?
It's literally right around the corner from my job, I love it so much.
Here's a list of Oktoberfest activities beginning today: https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20...berfest-festival-events-beer-food-what-do-nyc
Reichenbach is a solid place. Need to go go check out Loreley Beer Garden at some point in the future. I'm surprised that Cafe Katja isn't holding any Oktoberfest themed events since I heard it's a damn solid place.

This happened literally outside of my office building. I'm just glad I was able to leave early and wasn't there to witness it. Missed it probably by 15 mins or so. Scary shit.
The one on 3rd and East 33rd. I hit it up for lunch a few times a week.

Not quiiite. Shorts season is hanging on by a thread, though.
Nope, not even close. Although I've seen my share people who already wearing light jackets and/or blouses. Wake me up when September ends then we'll talk hoodies and jackets again.
I'm gonna go check out the San Gennaro Festival today to see what's up. Probably gonna end up in Brooklyn since I really want to check out the Brooklyn Bavarian Biergarten event in Park Slope.

I had to wear layers the last 2 days. Like button down + light jacket. I found Manhattan chilly the last 2 days, especially in the evenings. Maybe I just get cold easily.
What about long sleeve or hoodie with shorts?
I think a long sleeve is fine IMHO. Then again people have different tolerance levels to temperature changes. Anything below 60 warrants a light jacket/hoodie for me.Oxn said:
I don't think it's that serious that they would blacklist you for having two badges instead of one. You can always give one to an intern for the website you write for or something.
It looks like tomorrow's event is going to be a washout since it's expected to rain which is no bueno for an outdoors event. I'll be keeping a close eye on the weather.

Tried out a new dumpling joint in the East Village called Drunken Dumpling. Had some crab meat dumplings and pork buns. Pretty good but I admit to being very inexperienced when it comes to dumplings so I can't compare it to any authentic dumpling place. I'm not too far from Chinatown so if any of you have any dumpling places to recommend then by all means do so!
So I'm planning on moving to New York in January (I know, probably not a great time to move)
Any suggestions for trying to find a place in manhattan?
Should I just stick with the usual apartments.com/craigslist?
Would prefer to live in manhattan, I know that'll make it extra expensive
Super excited about it though!

They "sold out" of them at the time. Maybe ran out of whatever ingredients they use for the XL Dumpling. They didn't have any more Honey Red Bean Buns as well.
Not for me. Moved here from Minneapolis so shorts season goes on for a lot longer. :lol
