Palm steaks are good but service/ambience are awful. Don’t care for R. Chris. What’s that other one over near Rock Ctr. on 6th Av.? I haven’t been there but I’m told it’s really excellent.
Before I had a car, I would do day trips to Long Beach, which is pretty close and not bad. For colorful slumming, Coney Island or Brighton Beach, but that is a whole other trip. I used to go to Point Pleasant when I was a kid – (they have an amusement park), its a nice beach but don’t know how long it takes to get there. I can say that the Hamptons is definately where you don’t want to go – trust me, it is everything that gets under your skin. I did that for a couple of summers a while back and I do have to say that the beaches out there are stunning though the scene is NOT. I think though Rob that if you ever get a chance to go to the tip of Long Island, Montauk, I think you would love that. It has a blue color vibe -lots of fisherman, the rich and famous don’t bother with that (although there is an expensive spa out there somewhere) and it is lovely. Takes a long time though and it is not a day trip.
Biff, They may have used a Priceline or some such service. I was surprised, too!

rob, why not just go to brighton? Plenty of people(myself included) venture into the water, couldn’t be any worse than….choose your poison.
i read a thread on citidata or some board like that the russians spit on you at that beach if youre not russian tho. that doesnt sound very pleasant.
*rob*
Wow Cobble, that’s an amazing deal! Last I looked, it was 250+ a night.
Fire Island was great when I was a kid. Wish it hadn’t gotten so EFFED up!
fire island, ugh, once was enough
People, Rob wont go to the hamptons on a bus or a train. No point even suggesting. He couldn’t even make it to his own Pier 6 protest :o).
Sparks is yummy….so is Palm and Ruth Chris. Never been to Keens :o(

“The Marriott is pretty nice and actually as expensive as most Manhattan hotels.”
Biff, They’ve been running deals lately to fill the rooms. Friends of friends just stayed there for $64 a night!
