  1. Times Square Edition has some decent rates in December. Sub 700 a night. For December, that is good. The New York Edition is clocking in at about 1100 a night. If you are going big brand, I think Edition hotels are one of the best. The W Union Square has reopened, and it looks really cool. Chelsea Hotel is a great hotel, with a lot of history. I think the best stay I have ever had was at the Plaza.
  2. A number of large hotels went out of business during COVID, and NYC has not replaced those rooms. That is, I imagine, some of the pressure. Given the significant lower international tourists, I would expect the prices to be more reasonable, but maybe the idiots from the fly over states who are afraid to take the subway are paying those prices. Idiots.
  3. A lot of the big cards have a free clear membership as one of the perks.
  4. Ok, so Lyon for 6 nights. Burgundy for 5 nights. I do not like to move around, so trying to pick between Dijon and Beaune as my center in Burgundy. Leaning towards Dijon as it is larger, but anyone have any other opinions?
  5. And the first of the professional men just came through.
  6. First of the professional women have just come through. This is mile 16 and they started at 8:35 so they are at a sub 5 and a half minute mile. Holy shit.
  7. The cheers from the marathon are starting to filter through my window. The elite wheelchairs are hitting the turn up 1st Avenue. I have clear line of sight to them on the Queensborough and coming off the bridge without even leaving my apartment, but Harvey and I might go down there once the regular runners start coming through.
  8. So glad I left Texas.
  9. I mourned for an umbrella that I purchased in Londonn and promptly left in a cab longer than Erika Kirk mourned for Charlie.
  10. Nope. She is complicit. Fuck her.
  11. Of course Indiana Jones gets it.
  12. At some point, the Republicunts are going to have a reckoning. The way things are going, I imagine it will look like this:
  13. Fuck Trump times infinity. @ChiTownDoc, agreed. But this whole hellscape thing is in direct opposition to what Trump and Fox News say about major cities. We are not crime ridden hellscapes as they claim and the idiots in flyover states eat up. It is important to show people that all this regime does is lie to further its fascist agenda. FYI, I was all around the civic center, and most likely because the courts are closed, there were no protests. Had there been, I probably would have joined in, as I usually do.
  14. Get out before the stupid gets to you too. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/health/tylenol-autism-texas-lawsuit.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
  15. No, we are getting closer to this:
  16. Misleading headline is misleading. FYI, there was a Democratic bill that would pay everyone during the shutdown, but the Republican bills would only pay certain people.
