Headed to NYC nex week, staying in Brooklyn near Park Slope/Prospect Park
Looking for fun things to see, places to eat
Want to try a restaurant called Olmsted...its booked for the month, but heard you can try for bar eats...Anyone been?
Friends also recommend Ghenet Ethiopian and Bogota Colombian places~ both nearby. Any other awesome spots?
What is the flea market like?
Will be seeing TAB at the Cap on Friday/Saturday nights, staying at the Doral Arrowood both nights...Can anyone recommend good places to eat and places to visit of interest during the days? Will have a small dog with me!
These are the touristy places I've been to nearby, but I checked and most of them do not allow dogs! All of them are great for an outdoor walk and history lesson.
NY Botanical Garden > http://www.nybg.org/home/ (In Queens (I think) ....very easy to take train there, walk across the Fordham Univ. campus to the garden entrance)
Stone Barns Center > http://www.stonebarnscenter.org/visit/index.html LOVE this place. The barns are amazing, excellent coffee shop on the patio...you can go there and walk around w/o a tour. If you call, they might let a dog in, looks like... they just don't allow dogs in the growing and pasture areas.
One of the reasons I'm trying to weasel my way into Olmstead is the chef worked at Blue Hill Stone Barns, Per Se and Alinea...sounds awesome and AFFORDABLE!!!
Ro - i wish i could make that TAB show and extend the east/west groove we shared in November but im having a little medical procedure next week that might keep me slowed down for a few days.....i have your #, if im able to get around, i'll text you and hopefully we'll see ya' on this side of the world...
In such a deadened room, a body bursts with life, spilling it out through every sense. I felt enraptured and paralyzed, as if I were a disembodied mind seared in the void, listening to a recording of silence played at top volume.
Hey Ro - Scottoccs and I will be at the TAB shows both nights. We have a suite at the Hyatt House so will be in good form for a good times Easter weekend - We would certainly enjoy getting together for a few beverages or whatever!
Its a long shot, but i may end up trying to get one of those nights off from work, if i do, ill get in touch....lemme know if you hear of any extra tix, but, im sure i can find a cpl...and, if i dont go, hpfly ill catch ya at MSG in summer, i seem to recall you saying you d be in for a bunch of nights
Hey Jambone - Hope you can make it to TAB - I ended up doing stubhub for one of the nights and had the other one through scott. I'm good to go for the full Baker's Dozen Run too so will have to plan to get together in the city.
Ha, thats what i thought i remembered reading, just wasnt sure...dude, you should "journal" that experience...13 phishies in 13 nights? Wow...id start megadosing on my vitamins now...ya gotta be in shape for that workout..lol...ill def catch ya there for some of the early August shows (my son , who was at that Q show) turns 23 on 8/5, and thats his favorite band...should be a blast...
Ro...ill shoot ya another text in a day or two...my cousin is looking at local live music sched for that thursday date
If you like B&W prints and fine German cameras, I highly suggest the Leica gallery in Manhattan. It's free and small. So it's not a major time commitment if you are in that part of town.
Great seeing you Kate. I started the shows riding the rail near the keys. in searching for the sound made my way to the sound board. Then upstairs and hung out in the loge and then the balcony before running in to you at Garcia's. I found the Sound was really good in every spot. Just before seeing you I hung out with the Caps photographer. He was very cool. I commented on the sound being so dialed in and he mentioned it was due to the fact that Trey allows the Caps techs to work/tweak the sound board unlike other bands. The Capitol Theatre is an awesome venue.

I remember Zoner's saying Tarry Market was great! Hoping that Willy T shows up with some good brews for us!
Heady Topper is really tasty!
you know I would go to RRocks with you in a heartbeat if not for this trip - JRAD with you under the stars
don't think I can take that much time off- maybe...
Uptown mentioned there is a sculpture garden near SUNY College near the Doral Arrowood Hotel, too
that sounds cool and dog friendly, if weather permits.

Hi again,
Hi again,
Here's a list of sculpture gardens along the Hudson River.... look at the one called Storm King -- it's not far from Port Chester. This garden features the work of Andy Goldsworthy, one of my faves because he uses elements from nature to create his work. https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/new-york/articles/new-york-s-10-best-sculpture-parks-art-amid-nature/
The best part is that dogs are likely allowed!
Did I really read a glimmer of hope about RR? I haven't bought anything yet, but will be prepared to as soon as you know for certain! :)
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Sless is Best
Morning!

The de Young has a great piece outside in the sculpture garden.

I haven't seen his other one in SF.
We are planning a trip out to the southwest next summer to visit Roden Crater....the Holy Grail.

There is a debate going on here about
what is best route to take Air train to subway from Terminal 4 JFK to 700 block on 8th ave Brooklyn
mapping showing
Jamaica station bound train
from Sutphin ave: Archer Ave
take WTC bound E train 7th Ave station
transfer to Brighton Beach bound B train
get off at 7 th Ave station, walk to destination
Is that direct enough or is there a better way?

Just seeing this thread. Been out on the boat the last few days in Florida.
From JFK to Brooklyn your better off taking the LIRR at Jamaica Terminal to Atlantic Ave terminal in Brooklyn,
then take whichever subway line is close to your destination. Almost every subway line on the MTA system runs thru Atlantic Terminal.
Good luck, safe travels!

Just before seeing you I hung out with the Caps photographer. He was very cool. I commented on the sound being so dialed in and he mentioned it was due to the fact that Trey allows the Caps techs to work/tweak the sound board unlike other bands. The Capitol Theatre is an awesome venue.
