Please go asap. Also that photo looks weirdly photoshopped between the Di Fara and Supper J [sic] Discount Store storefront. It's not, just a curiosity.

I know every inch of that place. :starstruck:

You ever been to Prospect Park? ^^^

Of course. I know that spot well as well.

Cool. Have you found this hidden corner?

I have not.

I used to climb these ten times in a row. (I even did 15 times once) The memories... :halo:

Excellent for jogging and biking.

Oh wait is that in the northeastern part that's sectioned off from the rest of the park?

:100:

The no-man's land! Sadly the only time I checked that area out a homeless person was stalking me. :sad:

Aww, that's a shame. It is sooooo beautiful during the fall season.

I can imagine!

I have been to this place a few times. Pretty much the only bar I ever entered.



Nice place.

How bout McSorley's?

Can't tell you anything about it, lol.

Not a very socially progressive spot, btw...

And who can forget the boardwalk?

There's no way I am entering an unfriendly place.

My neighborhood in a nutshell.



:yawn: :vomit: :death:

Funny NYC story about McSorley's though...when I was pretty new to the city, a friend invited me to McSorley's for a group gathering. I arrived a bit late; everyone was already at the table with their beers, so I thought "I'll just order a beer at the bar right quick and join the group". I walked up and didn't see a menu, so I asked "what kind of beer do you have?" The bartender, in stereotypical Irish broque, said "we've got a light beer and a dark". I ordered the light, but I guess what makes the story "funny" is that McSorley's is notorious for typical rude NYC service...but this guy seemed so refreshed by the fact that I didn't even know anything about the bar's historic pedigree, that he was actually quite polite. Anyway, it's actually a really boring story. oh well

It's actually a pretty good story, IMO.

Women were not allowed in McSorley's until August 10, 1970

:up: ha! A good entry for this thread, I guess.

Yup.

:ok:

I've been a few times, it's always the place where the night takes a sharp turn given how cheap the beers are

It has it's charm. Can't remember the last time I was in that hood during drinking hours, though.

Just chanced on this thread.

Good pix.

I'm a Central Park guy myself. Used to spend as much time there as possible. Not so much an more...and with the coronavirus...even less. I like Chelsea's waterfront area. The Frying Pan is a favorite watering hole...where I meet up with some of my friends from other forums where I post.

The City is great...and not nearly as rude as some want to pain it.
