remembering a time when a child would build an apple store in the street &c
yeah but they're really making their presence known there
I dunno it's interesting it feels very 'of the time we live in'
I know, I can't believe they added Jobs to the constellations on the ceiling.

I still don't quite think of retail inside grand central as being fully part of nyc, as silly as that might sound

The Posner's (Posman's?) Books in there is pretty good. I have bought things there a couple times.

Miss the NYU Posman store, much bigger, lot of remaindered and imported books on sale. Website says that they also have Chelsea Market and Rockefeller Center stores.

Yeah, I used to go to that Posman's on University (yes, it is Posman's, not Posner's); it was a really good bookstore.

say hello to green cabs in brookyln
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link
niiice, i was just saying what a good idea that was
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
18,000 cabs so this is def gonna be 'a thing'. prob won't be hard at all to hail one if you live in brownstoney brooklyn or western queens, really anywhere near a major subway stop. outer borough cabs and a bikeshare program, old school new yorkers are gonna grumble but the city's making some pretty big strides in the next few years.

― Mr Jimmy Mod, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
I knowed about that for a long time, b/c my school was right there. I missed it though. W/E it would have been bad news during finals stress.

so over shake shack, it's okay but c'mon
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's not worth standing in long lines for
― Hurting, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:50 (twelve years ago) link
no food is worth waiting in an hour line for but be serious shake shack is super dope
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 03:52 (twelve years ago) link
and hey since there are so many now you dont have to wait!
i'd rather wait for the shake shack than for lucali

That's batshit

i'm not gonna wait an hour and a half to pay $26 for a plain pizza
don't knife me bro
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
I mean even if you tend to eat half a pizza yourself it's $13 a person -- not really very much for a top notch food experience. It's also really not a "plain pie" the way you mean it, but w/e, be a philistine.
― Hurting, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
also the wait isn't as bad if you show up a little before they open

i have never waiting an hour in line for shake shack, its "overrated" i guess but dollar-for-dollar probably the best burg in nyc
― max max max max, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link
max goes in through the kitchen w/ 'and then he kissed me' playing in the background iirc

they even have Shake Shack at Saratoga racetrack now. shortest Shake Shack line I have ever stood in, surprisingly

Shake Shack lines may be pretty quick at Citi Field next year
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
I would maybe be more impressed by shake shack if I weren't from california but that place really just seems like a pretty good generic burger place to me? except for the concretes, those are good.

luv californian burger culture but shake shack is next gen futuristic magic
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
btw went to the battery park city one and there was like a 2 min wait
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
I just don't get where the amazing magic part comes in. good quality patty tho the rest of the burger is only 'okay'. fries are not bad but nobody would go out of their way for those fries alone.
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:14 (twelve years ago) link

shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city. i've never waited more than 10 minutes, i don't think, just have to be smart about when and to which you location you go.haven't been to lucali, but the place owned by the dude's brother, giuseppina's, was amazing and empty. especially liked the calzone.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
can somebody explain to me what's so good about a shake shack burger
