Wilfrid Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This has happened to me before but not for a long time. I am headed down Broadway around 64th Street and two people stop and ask me if there are any good restaurants around here. "Like burgers and fries?" Rendered speechless, of course. I pointed them downtown and assured them they would find something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For these you come to San Francisco? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Some people only want familiar. Hence the popularity of Applebee's at Fisherman's Wharf and Olive Garden in Times Square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I looked on the site for the Venice Biennale 2025 and found this quote from the curator: "To face a burning world, architecture must harness all the intelligence around us. I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to curate the Biennale Architettura 2025”. A little close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Just... Midday yesterday, getting on at the 68th St./Hunter College 6 train headed downtown. I was suspect at first, but the car was clean and 100% empty. Of course, at 59th St., a psycho got on and sat directly across from me, even though every other seat was empty.

You have to remember to turn off your psycho magnet. I forget all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have never - and will never - stay in an empty subway car. I know you have better survival skills than to do so. You got lucky. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
