every bar/restaurant in the city has rats.
I’ve got purell on my keychain dude! I always come prepared! Seriously though, the thought of having rats running at my feet scares the shit outta me. I think I’m gonna have to pass on this get-together.
antidope,
The key to the bet is the 9th street border and the 3-story and non-gut reno limitation. Very few 3-story frames north of 9th that haven’t been fixed up. I like m4l’s odds, here. Basically, he loses if the market tanks another 20% and one of two houses on 8th Street behind the post office flips before recovery. Different story if the bet went to 15th Street. Gotta read the fine print.
Antidope, if the ppty is POS (ie kind of what you think I’m looking at), it wouldn’t be a bargain but rather a POS. Bargain is something nice bought at a relatively low price vs. mkt.
Here is an evening shot. As mentioned it is next to Trout, which is shown at the front of the picture:

Snappy, just get bottled or canned beer if you’re worried. I’ll even bring Purell to wipe down the top and sides for you.
i’ve heard lots of things about this and that rats at pacifico but if you drink enough booze, it kills the rat germs, no? sorry to say there does not appear to be any listing, i checked the NYC DOH website for the entire neighborhoods of cobble hill and boerum hill and there is nothing even remotely resembling the restaurant listed. hmmm. on the upside, i discovered there is an ihop in boerum hill! take that manhattan!
thanks for your comments! just having a sympathetic ear (or lots of ears!) is really helpful in an otherwise helpless situation. i feel better. 🙂
“And yes, Biffy, for any place that serves food, I must know their inspection results before I agree to eat or drink anything there…”
WOW
I guess you don’t eat out at many places here in the Big Apple then, Snappy!!!!
If drinking with rats is what you consider “fun patio drinking”, Biff 😉
Dave, Pia’s got no front claws so she can’t help with vermin! And yes, Biffy, for any place that serves food, I must know their inspection results before I agree to eat or drink anything there…I’m a nervous nellie 🙂
Pete…what restaurants share that one kitchen? Maybe I can find the inspection results under one of those names.
