Word, 10:41. Or at least cover it with some ivy or grapes or something.

Otherwise, beautiful garden! Jealous over here...

Haha, 4:12! That's a movie right there.

I think they'll get 100k less than ask. Don't ask why I say that, just a gut feel, and I've got quite a gut!

4:50: as in "Ronny Cammareri," Nick Cage's character in Moonstruck, who happened to work at Mazzola bakery just down the street?

Coincidence? Probably.

Hey, 3:26:

"The noisy bar"? Your contempt is palpable. We get it.

Now F*ck off out of here.

I thought they were going to be on 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens?

Yet another characterless glass monolith on 4th Ave, sans retail space?

Sigh.

I actually think it would make a pretty spectacular performance venue / bar a la Union Hall, but getting an idea like that beyond the CB would be next to impossible. It'll probably become an infant-based clothes retailer.

Love the bacon. Saw Geraldo Rivera there last time, not that that should reflect poorly on the man.

I've had many steaks in this town, and I think Luger's still takes the cake for me.

Snore.

Am I the only person who thinks these things are totally anti-climactic?

Hate to burst the old bubble, but I've always found MHU to be overly expensive, and the attitude of their staff snotty and judgmental for no reason.

Staples online is your friend.

In fairness, I haven't been to MHU in a couple of years (not since I lived in Bushwick in 2004), but I do remember their cables being overpriced. I was not yet a Mac person, so I couldn't speak to their pricing in that realm, but it seems as though they've become an authorized Mac repair / retailer, so they're obligated to keep their prices in line with whatever Apple dictates. The attitude thing is probably relegated to a few individuals, so it's probably not fair of me to apply that perception to everyone who works there. For the convenience, it probably is worth to spend $10 more for a hard drive when you'd have to wait for one to be delivered otherwise.
