bj,
Were you here two years ago? This is what we used to think was funny back when this was a blog full of house nerds like me. Now, of course, we’ve pushed the envelope a bit.

Biff, this is the one I was trying to tell you about last week.
CG, Good Fork in Red Hook is always nice (I think they are still around). Just had a delicious and fun meal at Fonda on 7th Ave/14th St.
DH, CG_ups, “Anyone? Anyone?”, at the risk of overstaying my welcome, now how about a recommendation for a fun bar and/or restaurant to go with about 20 people to celebrate my birthday proper? Looking for a place where we can congregate in a corner and everyone can talk to everyone (not a banquet-style sit down dinner). Drinks, appetizers for all, drinks, pool table optional, drinks, dive or nice (all good), drinks, preferably where no one will sing “Happy Birthday” (unless I’ve had sufficient drinks). Any nabe as long as it’s Manhattan, LOL (for my Manhattan and out-of-town friends, not me). Any type of food. A place like Ellis – Brooklyn Inn – Union Hall, only in Manhattan.
Thanks for all the recommendations for tonight.
CH- I must say ,I’m flattered.
Benson- Long time residents of Yorkville, & the Upper East Side rarely say they are catching the 4,5, 6 , but call it “The Lex”.
A few years back , the mother of two little ones next to me on the train reached into a small bag and produced ears of corn, which they promptly all began gnawing on, moments later they decided that the morning sustenance needed salt, and small packets were produced and meal seasoned accordingly. At this point I excused myself from my seat and offered it to another commuter. She politely declined. I remarked to her,I did not realize I was riding in the dining car. That was the first and hopefully last time I will ever see that.
