I'm sure it's more about the experience of working with friends than anything....
Also any funtastic plans for the weekend?
I have a date tonight with a girl who moved to Jersey from Boston. She's yet to come into the city so everything is going to be new to her. I managed to reserve two free tickets for the opening night screening of Best Worst Thing that Could Have Happened. Bernadette Peters and the director Lonny Price are going to be speaking before the screening. The plan is to meet up at Times Square and walk down to the IFC Center from there. I'll probably take the scenic route and walk through The High Line. Cheap is the name of the game.
Tomorrow: Meeting up with a couple of con friends to hit up the batting cages at Chelsea Piers at 6pm; they want to go to a sports bar afterwards. Might go to Blick beforehand to buy some watercolor cards. Did I mention that I just paid off a $200 credit card bill? I fear for my wallet while I wait for my paychecks to arrive. I'm planning on putting some stuff up for sale on eBay before Black Friday.

Think it's only for the weekday though. And only for parts of Brooklyn.

Times Square to IFC is a hell of a walk for a date
Lol seriously. You are going to tire the poor woman out. That is at least a 40 minute walk.
For you guys maybe but not for me. Ended up passing on going to the IFC Center but we did end up walking all the way down to the World Trade Center Westfield mall complex that houses the PATH train. It's one of the most interesting and whitest buildings I've ever been inside (pun not intended). In the end of it, she got tired since she was up since 6AM and wanted to go home but I'm used to doing all that walking. It ended up being a solid date. No regrets on the walk and besides we did take a pause at one point.

you walked from TS to the world trade center complex and you wonder why she's saying she got tired and needs to go home?

hahah, I had to re read that sentence a few times to process that also
Glad others saw the oddity of this... I mean he even says they had to take a break, but it was fine!

i get tired walking from the room to my car.
Yes, you guys read that right. I made the walk longer since she had to get to the nearest PATH train station which happened to be in Lower Manhattan. I'm aware of the discrepancy between what I said and the irony of the situation. Different strokes either way since I love walking and the chick was into it as well. Even when I was in Boston I walked as much as possible except in cases where I had to either take a cab in a rush or the subway to get to another neighborhood.
Walking from Times Square to WTC is nothing and I've walked all the way from Chinatown/Christie street to MoMA. This is also coming from the same guy who's walked from Williamsburg to Queens and took the 59th Street Bridge back into Manhattan. Heavens forbid I ever go out with a person who loathes walking and prefers to take cabs or drive. I think that a walk from one end of The Highline to the other is still nothing comparatively speak as long as the weather is fine and there's no brutal windchill.

Walking from Time Square to IFC is long?
I did it a couple years ago to see Princess Kaguya and don't remember it being bad at all. I wasn't living in NYC then and so I wasn't comfortable navigating the subway.
Is there more than one IFC Theatre or something?

Just looked it up - same distance I walk to work everyday. 40 min walk.
I would only feel bad if my date was wearing uncomfortable shoes haha
That's a long walk but I'm happy if some of you fellas visit my home borough.
Oh we're never going to the Bronx!
Unless taking in a Yankees game or something!
Speaking of, we should pick one of those super cheap Islanders game soon
I mean, that actually sounds like fun.
Google says it's a three hour walk from the Brooklyn Bridge north to the Bronx across the 3rd Ave bridge. Will have to do that on a weekend I'm free. Haven't spent much time in NE Manhattan.
I've done 50 mile hikes in a day, 9 miles is nothing. Besides, I'd rather be walking 40 minutes than commuting the same length of time any other way.

So future attorney general Jeff sessions apparently wrote off all of us Dominicans and basically called us useless.
This was in 2006. He is still however, full of shit.

What? The Bronx is awesome!!! It has...ummm....fun things to do....
Good news is, he hasn't been confirmed. Better news, if I remember correctly, Reagan tried to get him confirmed and he got denied.
So there's a chance it won't happen.....I hope.

Born and raised in The Bronx (I'm 40 years old dammit!) and never had a "Chopped Cheese". lol Would love to give one a try!
Never heard of the Chopped Cheese until I saw that Anthony Bourdain piece they mentioned. I want to try one.
And of course Williamsburg gotta rip it off. Smh.

Next to the New York Times building basically. It's the building that houses the Graduate CUNY Journalism.
Edit: Looks like it's backed off. I was able to get in to the building. But there are security and ambulances all around. Apparently he was supposed to meet with the NYT but ended up cancelling with them.

Why is today a big party day?
The Day before Thanksgiving is I believe the 2nd busiest day for people to go out drinking
Not sure if to prepare to spend time with family or don't have family to spend time with, but yeah it's up there

everyone goes back to their home town, gets wasted and runs into people from high school
