  1. This man should never pay for a beer in Austin. Amazing play
  2. I'm kinda confused on this too. Gameday ends at 11:00 CT. Let's say he has a police escort to the tarmac and can get wheels up by 11:30 CT. Eugene to Dallas is about 3 hours. That already puts him at landing at 2:30 CT? Even if kickoff is actually at 2:45 that seems almost impossible.
  3. Evil Does Not Exist (Hamaguchi). A beautiful little movie. Currently streaming on Criterion
  4. Are you opposed to Uber.com for some reason? $100 ballpark. Expect a long walk in JFK and an hour car ride.
  5. Had a terrific meal at Foxface Natural last Friday. Very inventive and with a great wine pairing. Kangaroo tartar and pickled anchovy/sungold dishes were the two highlights for me.
  6. I loved the original Speak No Evil, and was very skeptical of the American remake. I thought they did a pretty good job. Definitely nowhere near as horrific as the original, but still a good flick. Edited to remove whiff of a spoiler for those who care
  7. No but they should be.
  8. About to be Dabo’s first foray into the portal if he keeps it up
  9. Can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with Rex. Cruz is a piece of shit no doubt, but I probably wouldn’t have legitimate concern that he would launch a war if somebody tweets something mean about him. Hell, we already know you can trash his wife and he’ll roll over like a bitch.
  10. Thanks for the recs. Nothing available at Mamou and only a 9:30 at Saint Germain, so decided to go with 8pm at Dakar. Will see if I can squeeze in a second meal on Sunday.
  11. Thanks, will look into. Friend of mine also just recommended Dakar. Looks awesome. My only hesitation is the non-refundable $200 charge at time of booking
  12. I have a solo dinner night in New Orleans in late October. Looking for recs for upscale/upscale-ish place (preferably with dinner service at a bar/counter seating, tho not a must). Thinking something like Shaya or R'evolution, but those are pretty established now so wondering if Surly has any other recs.
  13. Oddity was terrific, but boy they biffed the ending
  14. This is me. I thought he was a pure JAG, and then the spring game thing was really weird. But he’s been really good this year. Impressive stuff
  15. Central Park Zoo (weather dependent) is good for a kid that age because it's in the middle of Manhattan (less travel time) and it's a very confined loop, so by the time your kid has entirely lost interest and/or is melting down, you are done and can get back to your hotel quickly. The usual suggestion for kids would be American Museum of Natural History. I don't think you will make it long with a 2 year old, so just be ready to miss quite a bit. I have an almost two year old, but I live in the west village downtown so all of my other suggestions are tied to the west side of lower Manhattan. In that area, assuming weather is nice and you are sufficiently dressed, you could stroll your kid around the Little Island and then, when they get antsy, take them a 10 minute walk down to the playground at Pier 51. This is also close to the Chelsea Market (indoors and stroller friendly) and Whitney Museum (indoors and stroller friendly, but obviously depends on your kid's tolerance for adult stuff - maybe Pier 51 after Whitney). The lowest High Line entrance is also right there and is stroller friendly. There are a surprising number of good restaurants that are kid friendly in the 5:00-7:00 dinner window. Meaning, they have high chairs and won't treat you like a pariah. Don't expect a Texas-style kids menu, but if you want actual good food and not shit food in midtown, suggestions include: (1) Barbuto (we eat here once a week at least); (2) Pastis; (3) Anton's; and (4) Locanda Verde, which is farther downtown in TriBeca. All of those are also good lunch options. Pretty sure Locanda Verde does a Thanksgiving lunch if that is something you need. I have plenty of other suggestions (again, mostly in the West Village and TriBeCa), just PM me if you need more help. Breweries are also great for kids and adults, but all of those are in Brooklyn. If you want to venture that way, I can give suggestions.
  16. Or his last game #toofuckingsoon
  17. Go ahead, say it, you son of a bitch
  18. For Italian near Penn, I think Ci Siamo in Hudson Yards is by far the best answer. It’s more upscale than red sauce. Need a reservation in advance. Also plus one for Keen’s if you are trying to be close to the Penn Station area. Sure it’s a little touristy but I still try to go once a year with buddies. Not a god damn thing wrong with two martinis and a mutton chop. W/R/T JFK to midtown, personally I always take a car, but if you are set on a train you can definitely take the AirTran to Jamaica and grab any number of LIRR trains into Penn/Moynihan Hall. It won’t save you time. By far the better option would be to fly into Newark or LaGuardia. Fuck JFK
  19. Yep, it was really, really loud that first possession before reality started to set in. Between our missed kick and their first offensive possession, the Michigan guy beside me said it was among the loudest crowds he's heard at the big house. Things changed quickly.
  20. Sooooo many sad Michigan fans on my flight back to nyc this morning. Delicious
  21. We took that place over Major props and thanks to @immamac. Great to meet him and many others. Now back to the casino
  22. Leaving the casino now and we’re still laughing at “muledick mean anything to y’all”
