randi, I saw that from PropJoe. While your trolling, if I may call it that, is often times quite funny (your classic phrase “Pathetic Losers” has become part of our Brownstoner daily vernacular), PropJoe is simply an anti-semetic ass.
ark: i wound up disinfecting those old pair of contacts i found in my desk drawer. so i can see for most part 🙂 i am pretty sure these ones were used for a loooong time more than they should have been, but they will do as long as they are clean. and i flushed my eyes with solution and stuff. im going to give it another shot and look for my glasses tonight. they are probably in an unpacked box or something.
love “contact low” i cant wait to thank people for a contact low the next time i enter a room full of people who i dont like.
so i took a mini vacation at lunch and went to WSP to look at the new fountain. it’s nice. i like the water in it. but i think i liked the old one better. and the concrete slabs where people used to sit are replaced with really cheesy benches. oh well. everyone looked at happy and smiling and taking pictures and for some reason that made me cranky so i left. hahaha im trying to figure out when it was i became such a mr. cranky pants these days!
Rob: If you want to go somewhere serenely beautiful, an absolute gem with a view of the Palisades, go to gardens at Wave Hill in the Bronx (which has free admission on Saturday mornings). You can take the #1 train to the last stop (242nd St.), which will also leave you outside Van Cortlandt Park, filled with lots of activity, playgrounds and forests. I think Wave Hill provides free shuttle service from the subway.
My impression, though, is that you prefer activity over quiet, in which case
Coney Island is definitely the place to go. Take the R train to 36th and switch for the D to the last stop. You don’t have to choose between Coney Island and Brighton Beach…they run right into each other and are within easy walking distance. This will also give you a chance to watch the games at the legendary handball courts and stop at the Aquarium: http://www.nyaquarium.com/ http://www.wavehill.org/visit/ http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/vt_van_cortlandt_park/-

Sure, why not bxgrl. I am not much of a russian historian but definitely can take people to a good food place, some good vodka tastings and some shopping. Plus, russki locals wont look at you funny if you’re with a Russian who is showing you around Brighton :o).
Disclaimer – I personally hate Brighton Beach and avoid it at all costs unless I am showing out of towners around and they specifically want to check out “Brighton”.

Rob- Since you can’t see w/o your glasses, probably everyone was snarling & miserable as well & you only got a contact low.

Polemicist is back and has called me an example of why democracy is a failure. I can’t tell if I should be insulted or complimented 🙂
Keningstonian- my fathers family was from Minsk. I am curious as he would never talk about it.
