anyone been to florent? menu looks good. friend had 3 ideas - highline, florent, and corner bistro.
― tehresa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
i think meatpacking-ish area
i like florent a lot. haven't been in a few years, though. corner bistro gets very crowded, burgers good to great-ish, lots of fratsters at prime times.
― lauren, Thursday, 3 January 2008 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
i am not really feeling burgery today, so i think we are going to go with florent. i trust it if you like it a lot! (though hopefully it's still as good as a few years ago).
i need to start keeping a list of restaurants. there's always someplace i want to try but when someone asks me i blank.

corner bistro is a shitty place w/good burgers

that does look tasty, but not today.
― tehresa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I like Corner Bistro but maybe have been lucky/oblivious to frats there. :( The bugers are rad and charmingly reasonably sized, that is to say kind of small, for burgers, but they turn out to be JUST the right size to eat in one sitting.
― Laurel, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link
i am having burgers tonight
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
the problem with Corner Bistro is that it's become a kind of shrine to itself in a way that Katz's has managed to avoid - Chumley's comes to mind as well

SPECIAL CHICKEN: sauteed chicken breast with roasted pecans, fresh herbs & orange marmelade; served with mashed potatoes & string beans
maybe i order this!
― tehresa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link
actually i think today is more of a roast chicken day

My boss called from New York today and explained he was a couple of minutes late into work because he stopped to help a guy whose hand got stuck to a lamppost.

spring and fall are the nice seasons around here - its just starting to get good now - still libel to rain and be poopy but that can happen anytime
― jhøshea, Monday, 14 April 2008 12:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Hm - in my experience spring and fall barely exist in NY - you usually just get slammed between cold and hot
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:17 (sixteen years ago) link
This could admittedly have something to do with the horrible radiators in every building I've ever lived in

lol ok grandpa - while this may be occasionally true of spring - fall is absolutely glorious and lingering
and just take a look at that mid april screenshot i posted for lovely nyc spring action
― jhøshea, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Thanks everyone! I've also just noticed why Ste said ew. Best/worst typo ever.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:23 (sixteen years ago) link
i could see how horrible winter/summer could wipe the subtle spring/fall weather out yr memory - cause winter and summer are so gross and intense
― jhøshea, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, this happens to me every year. Yesterday I was at the South end of Central Park and I was like "Whoa, Central Park is really nice!" Then I ducked into a phone-booth and changed out of my Captain Obvious unitard.
― Hurting 2, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link
central park is one of the greatest places /captain obvious

When can I get a deal on an air conditioner (other than "the fall")
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Central Park is kind of shitty but the location is what makes it interesting
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:42 (sixteen years ago) link
WHA CENTRAL PARK IS NOT "KIND OF SHITTY" ITS A FUCKING MARVEL OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN!!!
FORGET ABT GETTING AIR CONDITIONER ADVICE FROM ME JERK
― jhøshea, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:44 (sixteen years ago) link
jw probably has seen like 10-20% of the park
yeah, no fall is crazy. certainly the quality of spring and fall can vary by year, and there are years that feel like no spring, but it may be that we don't notice it as much if there's enough rain in between lingering april winter and extra warm june.
― gabbneb, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link
yah rainy spring is a downr

I really like the edges of the park - some of the nicer buildings in the city are there and I like seeing them framed by trees.
― Hurting 2, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Northeast US Spring is one moody bitch though. My wife keeps asking me around what date she should put away her sweaters and I keep telling her that's not how it works here.

Yea, I haven't seen that much of central park, but its a fucking frisbee golf course compared to the places I went back home to ride my bike / take walks.

this weekend we had one day of summer followed by one day of winter
― gabbneb, Monday, 14 April 2008 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Spring in New York is awesome. It's like the only few weeks where you actually talk to your neighbors. Once summer comes around it's back to business as usual.

i've considered starting a thread called "You can take the kids out of the suburbs, but you can't take the suburbs out of the kids" with a jpg of the McCarren Pool slip 'n slide
I don't understand all this excitement about the outdoors and going to parks. Call me when it's beach weather.
― Laurel, Monday, 14 April 2008 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
what date she should put away her sweaters
August?

You crazy, parks beat beaches hands down.
― Ed, Monday, 14 April 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link
except when parks become beaches, e.g., that strip of McCarren Park along Bedford Ave

omg yah central park isnt anything compared to the colorado rockies either - oh wait what theyre not the same thing? omg
central park is easily the most brilliantly landscaped place ive ever been. id even put it ahead of the great japanese gardens for its pragmatic utility - you never see biz markie preforming in a japanese garden. theres like 20 distinct aesthetic environments flowing seamlessly into each other.
its a masterwork that you can walk through and even play frisbee golf in if you like.
― jhøshea, Monday, 14 April 2008 14:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Honestly, I've never been to Central Park way uptown. You know, where they filmed all those early 90s movies they show on BET.
