Southern boy in "NEW YORK CITY"

ksmyrl

I'm lucky enough to have a job that I love that takes me to some cool places every month or so. I'm not a city boy but I enjoy NYC for a few days or so at a time. This was snapped from the top of the New York Times building before a client event. Dinner was later at Wolfgangs Steak house (not Wolfgang Puck). Largest filet I've ever had. I bet it was 16oz easy. Sorry no pics of the steak...I was one of 5 at the table and I didn't want to scare the new client.

Just remember, when you're looking up, keep your mouth closed.

And when a lady asks you if you want to party, she's not inviting you to her birthday.

Cool pic btw.

It's a pretty safe city, relative to other big cities.

Ya'll are killing me. I love NYC, been there dozen's of times. Just don't want to live there (or stay longer than a few days). I'm back home now in my southern abode, safe and sound. But that filet...man was it good. This pic was taken from their website.

+1, there is an energy there that is unlike anywhere else in the world.

Make sure you don't enter town looking like either of these....they're a bit sensitive about radicals in NYC.

What taking multiple foodie Pr0N pics with different angles and lighting is not tolerated these days?

only been there twice and its been maybe 25 years first stop was dropping someone off at a hotel near the airport, bullet ridden car door, door open, huge pool of dark blood, no victim. next, missed an exit, took maybe 30 minutes to get back, a car that was broken down was turned over, seats missing, engine and tranny gone, was maybe 30 minutes to strip that car, looked like they flipped the car to drop the engine out. was eating a sandwich on park ave, watched a guy smash the windows out and grab xmas gifts and run just north of time square, watched maybe 6 adults throwing bottles and whatever and chasing some 6 year olds down the street. some good guinness bars down there though im fortunate to find the nicest places, flat tire in lowell mass and a group goes running by me being chased by a guy with an uzi strapped around his neck.  life is almost like cable tv one thing i like about ny is that you can call a phone operator, get an address, and actually find it without a map

Atlanta city streets are a lot like Boston but everything has Peachtree in the name.

you need a good sense of direction to get around in boston, when driving never make eye contact with another driver(you have the right of way til eye contact is made). one way streets doest mean one way if your needing to go the other way, especially at night . took me years to figure out how to get out of that city 2 times the same way in a row maps are useless, gps is useless, cops for directions are useless. if you missed the train at night, your trapped and forget about finding a room, its always warm behind the big cleaners dryer exhausts in the winter in the wee hours whiteys group used to hang out in a closed out area in the north end behind a bakery/pizza place, was a good place to get a veal parm, some after closing hour drinks and a cappuccino when everything shuts down, boston shuts down early

Never had any problems in Boston or NYC with the indigenous wildlife.  Philly, on the other hand, I learned not to tell bums to "go F urself" or they will f-in come after you.  I had to go in a chinese restaurant and exit through the kitchen to lose this one guy.

had two friends come back from the south end/ boston, they walked into a local alley keg party and became the entertainment, was positive one was going to lose an ear it was so black and hanging from getting beat down and kicked.  they got beaten for hours. thats a white irish neighborhood. had to smack a good friend around in the black side of the fenways or maybe central square for saying fu to a group on a stoop at 3 in the morning while lost looking for a tow yard, then he tells the tow yard guy off you skinny hippy dudes with the "go F urself"

They know how to do food up there. An occasional visit is nice.

I'm assuming you mean Southie, I can't remember the South End as ever being Irish and you have a better chance of finding a much different activity in a dark alley in the South End then a kegger... One in which I for one wouldn't want to become the entertainment... If ya know what I mean....

These stories are pretty tame.  I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

I usually resolve any stranger confrontations using my lucky stabbin' knife.  I'll not go into any details due to the absence of the statute of limitations.

@JohnInCarolina where'd that land you?
