Why did I read that as theatrical? I seriously have the Met on my mind. Been in NYC for years, and still have not gone to see a show.

Penguin is a regular watcher since he live tweets about it all the time. Not sure who else is a fan here. I stopped watching it years ago but catch bits and pieces of it from my Twitter feed. When is that upcoming show?Just scored two free tickets to WWE Smackdown Live over at the Prudential Center. Any NYC Wrasslin' fans here?? Of course everyone I ask to come with me has shot me down. lol Whatever..I'm going anyways.
Turned into a pretty nice day so far. Supposed to warm up the next two days which is a-ok with me.
Hahaha, I can see why you misread that. A Broadway show about a bunch of people who post on an Internet message board and meet up in person sounds like a hilarious premise if you think about it. It would be incredibly meta but there's no "millennial" playwrights that I'm aware of.

The check from a car dealership that paid off my car loan finally went through. Finally car less and car loan less.
Yup
Went to my first Islanders game, it was like 15 bucks or so...
Building was freezing. Maybe we can look into that for a winter GAF meet-up, an Islanders game... then beer at a local bar

No idea where you live but I'm in Manhattan so I can just take the Path at the World Trade Center station to the last stop (Newark Penn) and walk a block or two. It'll be my first time at Prudential so I'll probably head out around 6 or so since I think they take Main Event or Superstars before the Smackdown show.
Woops just saw this response.
Maybe next time
So it seems like Islanders/Nets games can be cheap depending on the team so one of these could be a fun get together

Its gonna be 75 on thursday too. This shit is crazy.
Hope we do another meet soon. Last one was fun.
Yeah its sweet. My gf and I went to a bunch of games last year and never paid much for tickets.
Between my plans to participate in the GAF Secret Santa, Black Friday stuff, and the aforementioned $200 credit card bill that I need to pay, I'm hoping my wallet survives into December. One of the ideas that I'm kicking around is potentially including a suit up optional dress code. The thread would be up by the middle of this month. Any ideas?
Quick question for the folks who signed up for Clinton's Javits Center appearance: Did anyone get some kind of confirmation email from them yet?
I didn't know where else to post this but that moment when you tweet a review article that you wrote a good review about to the creative team and they liked it:
If anyone is interested, Nintendo World (shall always be name to me) is doing an 80s theme launch party for NES Classic.

I'll probably go depending on the weather since off on Friday.

Alamo is pretty swank. Way better than the South Lamar location in Austin.
FYI, they're still giving out 30% on food orders.
Wait, when did they change the name?

When they remodeled during the spring.
Any idea when the 30% off is over? I thought it was only until the 30th.
Going tonight and starving myself throughout the day so I can make room to eat and drink everything. So 30% off food would be nice hah

Not sure when it'll be over. Guess they're still working out the kinks.
They ran out of the mac & cheese (at a 7:15 showing!) so I got the tacos. They were tasty but they weren't exactly warm.
I expect growing pains for any new restaurant. I have tix for the Saturday night Strange. Here's to hoping they have more mac and cheese by then!
Hah, just read a yelp review where they told a guy they were out of tacos.
Here's hoping they have everything I want tonight. Otherwise I'll end up getting hammered while watching Dr. Strange and that could be trippy.
It doesn't matter to me to be honest; I'll consider any neighborhood in Brooklyn or Queens as long as it's not too out of the way to get to. A GAF member in the Dating-Age thread name dropped Fette Sau which sounds like an interesting place.
That being said, The Alamo Drafthouse sounds like another solid place if only because it has a bar within the theatre. As for places in Manhattan, I think German pubs would be solid; I can think of three places off the top of my head.
That sounds like it's going to be mad house since it's Nintendo World. I'm more than likely going to be volunteering at Doc NYC at that time so it's probably going to be a no go for me. I know those things are going to be sold out throughout November and will no doubt be on eBay for higher prices. It would cool to get my hands one in December.
You had me at BBQ and brisket!

I think Fette Sau has the best pulled pork in the city.

John Brown Smokehouse imo, fette sau is good and literally on the same block as the commodore.
I'm pretty happy people seemed to enjoy the Commodore
Hey NY GAF, figure I should say hi instead of just lurking. Moved to Brooklyn in May, and for the moment telecommuting with my old job. Since I'm in NY I definitely need to take advantage of the work up here, but damn it's nice to have no commute. Will suck to go back to that.
They still had 30% off food and I got around the above by ordering all my drinks at once.
"Yes, I would like a lamb burger, an old fashion, a spiked milk shake, popcorn and a beer. Also directions to the nearest hospital, thanks."
Old Fashion came first, followed by the beer, burger came with the shake and the popcorn came an hour later...because that makes sense. Was all delicious but in a city where people sneak whole pizza pies into an AMC theater, it wasn't out of this world. The whole mall setup, quirky bar in the lobby and intro by the staff before the movie gave some hardcore New Jersey vibes.

Alamo food discount down to 15%.
Went to Alamo this weekend. Let's see..
- they sold us tickets for seats that didn't actually exist. They knew this was an issue for a few days. Not sure how they didn't address earlier before people with those seats arrived.
- out of many food items but didn't tell us until an hour after ordering
- brought us our appetizers after main meal... And after movie was over
- folks were still getting food after it ended as well. Eat fast!
As for the positives, great theater, wonderful staff, nice bar, great, strong drinks, food was actually pretty good once we got it (loved those fried pickles!). Obviously the positives outweigh the negatives and we had a great time. Lot of growing pains, sure, but they are trying and are so nice about everything. And Dr Strange was awesome! Get the Mondo cups if you can. Really nice.

Started cold then I was unzipping everything.
There's a line/first come first serve
Yeah... that's making me think twice about making the trek then. I can picture the line coming out of the building and snaking around the block.
