I'm an oyster bar fan generally but the staff has been v rude the last couple times I was there and I'm not usually someone who gets uppity about that
like my wife went there first and was trying to save us a spot until I got there to meet her, she sat down at an open seat at the oyster counter (that had several people eating at it) and the server pulled out a little placard sign that said "counter closed" and just sat it down in front of her and walked away, didn't even say shit. that's lame

New York Burger Co.
not to be slept on. although I always worry they will go out of business.
― chinavision, Thursday, 22 December 2011 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I don't know why that place doesn't do better - maybe it's a marketing/atmosphere problem, or maybe there's just burger saturation and they haven't distinguished themselves.
― Hurting, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
I vote for marketing/atmosphere... it's not really very "chelsea" in there. kinda feels like it got misplaced from union square or something.
― chinavision, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the one I've mostly gone to is near Mad Sq Park but I've been to that one too.
― Hurting, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
oh shoot, I didn't realize there were multiple locations!

Yeah I guess looks like they have 3, all kind of bizarrely along the same parallel.

hay guys, we've had 50 million tourists this year.

I like tourists, they are too slow to get subway seats
― iatee, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:37 (twelve years ago) link
some girl I knew from years ago moved to new york some months ago and on fb she complained about how she hated tourists cause they were making it so hard for her to enjoy her favorite parts of the city: times square, going up the empire state building, seeing the tree at rockefeller center

I find tourists on the subway really entertaining and sweet -- they get all excited and nervous about the little things you come to take for granted
― Hurting, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
only time I resent tourists is if when they stand on the left side of an escalator, but non-tourists do this too
― iatee, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:45 (twelve years ago) link

my fave tourist quote of the year was from a Broadway showgoer on the night of Occupy Times Square. "The riot on Wall Street has moved up here!"
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
Plus I sort of enjoy the game of instantly recognizing tourists and then analyzing what tipped me off - khakis, columbia sportswear, etc.
― Hurting, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
could've sworn it was "stand on the right side of an escalator." Oh well, adapt and zigzag.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
you can't zigzag two people standing next to each other!
― iatee, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
you're supposed to stand on the right, walk on the left
― flexidisc, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
pretend the escalator is a highway
and your ass is a car
have never driven

that's when you break out the "SCUZE ME" spoken with the same intent as "FUKKEN MOVE"

driving is a lot like being an asshole pedestrian in grand central, except sometimes you get to kill people

anyway, the cardinal sin is ppl walking 3 to 7 abreast on a midtown street. Go to Paree if you wanna fucking "boulevard."
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
people who walk three abreast, people who stop--stop!--at the top of the subway stairs, people who walk slowly: all will see the guillotine blade when i am made premiere

i do like tourists, without them how would you be able to think of yourself as a new yorker
by living off the coast of America for 20 years

that's true of people in nassau county too tho

someone in the comments mentions that the middle class are in the suburbs, which is true to some degree and doing it w/ the metro area would prob even it out a tad, though it would also include westchester, connecticut, rich parts of jersey while also newark etc on the other side
