NYC Bore Meetup in June?
« on: January 05, 2012, 10:22:19 AM »
I just booked my flight for June 14th - 19th.  It's on a weekend so hopefully more people will be free.  I'm flying into Philly then taking the train into NYC so I'll be there on the afternoon of the 14th and I'll be leaving on the evening of the 19th.

It'd be cool to meet some Boreans and hopefully get shitfaced with you guys. :D

 :lol It's even worse when you're on the "border" like that though! Because then you tend to have characteristics of both signs, for better or worse. Several of the most memorable people in my life and people I'm closest to are on the border between two signs, so maybe it's not so bad. Although they are all fucking insane (my husband included).

I'm smack in the middle of the Pisces "cycle", and good lord, reading descriptions of a typical Pisces is downright scary accurate.

If I'm here in June, I might do the Bore meetup.  I dunno.  June is far away.

Probably Rome, Venice, or Florence.  Basically any where from Assassin's Creed II & its spinoffs.  I was told by a native of Rome that June is the best weather and time to travel around Italy and Europe in general.  Dunno if I'll have saved up enough money to do that this year though.  Need to stop buying games.

I went to Italy with my family in 1999.  We went to Rome (fuckin' dirty), Cortona, and I think Florence.  Didn't get to go to Venice.

Ha, my family were a bunch of lunatic hippies- my dad did astrological charts as a hobby and shit.  I'm right on the somewhat sane (Cancer) side of the Gemini-Cancer cusp at June 25th, and I definitely am a moody bastard that doesn't let anyone get "in" so to speak.

But back to pizza, people- can any NYC boreans confirm the supposed awesomeness of L&B Spumoni Gardens?

How about Barcade as a meetup spot?

I played AC2 after visiting Venice (not because or anything) and thought it was cool running around san marco square and recognizing the place in the game.  I think I could see the appeal of doing it the other way around.  Like the villa from the two games set in Italy is a real place.

Barcade is a really shitty time on weekends.  It gets really packed.

If anyone is into whiskey, an amazing whiskey bar opened up close to Barcade which has over 300 different kinds of whiskey with more being added each week.  It's pretty amazing.

My sister's graduation is in Philly.  I don't really care about the graduation but a bunch of my family and family friends are going to her graduation so we figured we'd all make a trip to NYC together as well.  I'm heading in a day earlier than them so I can see some shit in Philly and then that evening catching the train to NYC.

Yeah, it's actually cool visiting places you've seen in history books, movies or games in real life.  One of the first times I was traveling around Japan I visited the bridge from Rurouni Kenshin's 2nd OP in Arashiyama, Kyoto. 



Was neat seeing how different and the same it looked to its meiji-era depiction.  Since Assassin's Creeds cities are so detailed and fleshed out with historical background from ACII onwards (thanks to the database addition), seeing these same historic sites in modern day and how they've changed over the last 400 years should be neat.  I mean if I'm in Italy anyhow traveling around Europe, it's just another cool thing to do while I'm there.  I really want to visit Monteriggioni, Tuscany since after running through it so many times across the AC2 games I feel like I know the layout of the city like the back of my hand.  I mean look at this hotel: 



Should look very familiar if you played AC2 :P

There's really good pizza in Brooklyn.  There is Best Pizza in Williamsburg and Roberta's in Bushwick, Forchella which is brand new and opened by some dude who is famous in Italy for Pizza (really close to Barcade).  He imports most of his ingredients.

There was a Motorino in Williamsburg but the building started to literally collapse so they had to shut it down.

A whiskey bar would be fucking awesome!

Noorman's Kil is the absolute shit.  They do grilled cheese and whiskey.

http://noormanskil.com/

They have some beers for the non Whiskey Drinkers, but seriously this place is awesome and fits most budgets.  They have prices from $4 to $120 (some 20 year old Yamazaki) but most of the decent drinks start at like $9.

That bridge has some major scene in the show iirc.  Also I think it's in another OP/ED as well with live-action footage of the stream running through it.  They use the bridge as a key image of Kyoto for all of RK.  At the time I remember looking up some historical stuff on it and it was easy to find because it's a reaaaaally long bridge.

Nice.  I've never tried but I'm assuming I can't take tobacco on a plane so I'll need to find a good cigar shop in NYC (shouldn't be hard I imagine).
