“I took The Champs on a walk from Pier 6 to Pier 1 on the newly opened bike/walking path that connects the two piers”
The weather was perfect so I took a detour walking home Friday night. Walked down to the end of Columbia Heights and had a great hot dog at The Landing – not your typical dirty water dogs, but really good quality with great fixins. Then walked the new path from Pier 1 to Pier 6. As Biff said, it’s great, and you walk along the river for most of it. On Pier 5 it detours back to Furman Street briefly, but the bike/walking path is still segregated from the car/truck traffic on Furman.
Oh the tip jar drives me nuts – however I do find myself giving my change or a $1 for deli guys who are hustling around but I am not giving you a $1 or my change if I give you a $5 for a $1.50 coffee – sorryyyyyyy
Legion, I don’t like help yourself coffee bars either.
Come on, why do I have to do everything by myself? Sh*t, I bet Helen Reddy even liked somebody giving her a cup of coffee she didn’t have to assemble and then pay for. Americans are so self-service, but we take it to the extreme.
donatella,
one late night I made the mistake of driving up to a Wendy’s late night drive through window.
I ordered the simplest of things
a bunch of chicken nuggets and fries.
what kind of brain power do you need to throw some nuggets in a bag and scoop up some fries?
well it seems even that menial task was beyond the
capabilities of this night crew.
after waiting what must have been a full 10 minutes,
I figured they must be messing with me since I was the guy dumb enough to expect “fast food” service at 1 in the morning when the sign says that’s exactly what they do.
so I opened their little window and yelled in,
what happened to the nuggets?
which was met by even more laughter.
so you know I’d be a fool if I were to actually eat
whatever this night crew was cooking up.
I told them to cancel my order and give me the damned 3 dollars back.
I would have gone in and served myself if it were allowed, so I guess you can’t win either way.
ever bring in a really crappy lunch from home to work but you just dont want to eat it so you try to make yourself as hungry as possible so you can eat it? im starving right now and my stomach is making noises yet i cant bring myself to eat what i brought in 🙁 and it’s not even that bad. it’s peas, peppers, oninions, kidney beans, and peas in in vinegar dressing.
i refuse to dig into my coin purse *yes gotd* today and waste money buying lunch outside.

I want my coffee to be the color of a brown paper bag and I want 2 good spoonfuls of sugar! -is that sooo hard?
yep! it’s a science, dont you know!? soon you will need a degree just to sling swill! and don’t you dare walk away without leaving at LEAST a bill in the tip jar.

Apparently you aren’t ‘starving’ enough yet. Wait another hour, that lunch will start looking good!
BH wears blue jeans, sneakers and a white button down shirt and I crush on him EVERY time!
“so like i am not taking peoples dumb advice from here anymore lol. ill leave it that, and only that!”
Perhaps I missed it, but *rob*, what particular bad advice are you referring to? Taxes? Directions? How not to get arrested for tagging your building?

“I have zero respect for men in my company who dress in jeans and sneakers. Wearing sneakers is so childish.”
Ruh-roh. I guess I shouldn’t let jester see me out of my work clothes (nh).
jester, how do you feel about t-shirts???
