    Did a little day drinking/eating yesterday at South Street Seaport Smorgasburg. Cemitas El Tigre tacos, frozen margaritas, Home Frites :lick:

    Never been but really enjoyed it. Good scene and not annoyingly overcrowded or anything.

    Might be making a move into the city in the near future for work, transferring from my office in central NJ. If I land the job, i'm going to look to relocate into the city or surrounding area (Hoboken/Jersey City/Brooklyn/Queens..etc). My office would be on 47th and 6th, so I guess my preference would be to live somewhere with easy access to the B,D,F,or M. If anyone has any insight or leads about living arrangements I'd appreciate it. :like:

    Flying in on Monday to visit some family upstate (Port Jervis, Washingtonville) and may spend a day or two in the city. Haven't been to the city in nearly 10 years, and haven't been since having kids. Total game-changer when thinking about what to do in the city.

    Port Jervis is such a shit hole. So many meth heads crawling around.

    I was up in Narrowsburg last weekend which was really nice though. Great hiking and fishing.

    I've been for a bachelor party. Awesome country. People are so nice, and it's the highest % of English speakers in a country where English isn't the native language. Geography is beautiful, you feel like you're on the surface of the moon.

    I went in July and we had a tee time at 9:30 PM. The sun never went down during our round.

    It's an easier flight than going to Vegas, quite frankly.

    From what I last heard looking like it's going to be our old hood. Spoke with them at EBF and they said "East Williamsburg" - guy at the Harvest Market told me the street but I forget, it's either Graham or Bushwick.

    Also - I hear we get to hang tomorrow!

    Just decided on my new place. It's a "massive studio alcove", but it was actually more than a lot of the 1 BR's I was looking at.

    Doorman, top floor of 21 story building, nice gym, a real kitchen, decent sized bathroom, walk-in closet, right next to the 1, $2,900/month.

    Just wanted to stay on the UWS because I'm comfortable here and I'm boring. Moving in on the 11th or 12th hopefully. Will get you guys better pictures than the shitty ones on StreetEasy soon.

    Anyone know anything about Ocean City MD?

    Have to plan a bachelor party there and I need some advice on how to make it not shitty. Specifically large format dinner for Friday (casual for arriving parties) and Saturday (more "formal" but not fancy) and bars besides Seacrets. THANKS
