difara's on ave j in midwood. It'll be a trek but well worth it, expect wait of an hour for your pizza. To pass the time you can byow, don't forget the dixie cups.

bassie

thank you!

batmon

I missed Edith's jamboree. I aint missin' this one.


and you gotta pack these......

bassie

cmon now.

I was actually thinking about whether or not to wear the Sorels. They're too huge to pack and maybe I should have them in case there's heavy snow?

Packing for winter travel kinda sucks.

batmon

u wont need your Sorells. I does plan to flurry one of these days around here, but youll be fine.

Im talmbout drinks!!!!!!!

I owe Faux an Incredible Hulk Martini.

Bambouche

I don't wanna dominate your NY time (well, I do), but we we're planning a trip to Difari's with Brooklyn Premier Banjo Player (BPBP):





Also, is there a birthday drinks night? I need to give Faux his annual birthday wedgie. Though, I hate parties. I can probably hang through a few drinks but I'll turn pumpkinish and slip back into my Christian Death velvet ensconced dark ways.


Can't wait to see you!

p.s. I just got some proto-Crass Exit album we should listen to at top volume.

bassie

Yes and I'll have a Barbarella Bourbon Sour.

bassie

ohmigosh. I will fight the guards if they try to not let me through.

batmon

I dunno, I said it in response to the Incredible Hulk Martini - or is that a real drink?

Here, I'll make up the recipe right now:

2oz bourbon
1oz champagne
lemon juice
sugar on the glass
slice of coconut

that's my old hood and about 10mins from my current hood. lots of good restaurants/bars near Carroll Gardens (Smith street - get familiar!!!).

I know A*drew is a fan boy for Difara's (and really, who isn't) but a bit closer pizza spot, but still kinda famous, is Grimaldi's. It's right next to BK bridge and it gets a good share of tourists, but if you go during off time (not weekend) the line usually is not too bad.

have fun during your visit.

bassie

Thanks! I'm staying with a friend and the only thing I've seen in that part of the city is a tiki bar we closed when I was there a couple of years ago. it was pouring rain, so I don't remember too much about the neighbourhood otherwise. I'm excited - new territory and all!

Anything with Hypnotiq is a certified hood drink.

bassie

quick question about D Dragon - is the stuff for sale on their site in the store or totally separate?

Mondeyano

I'd reccommend the ASSSSCAT improv show at the UCB Theater on the 27th fo sho.

PATX

Hey Bassie: If you make it to my "hood" you def need to check the Chico Mann show at Black Betty on Jan 30th. Prolly no cover.

Everyone else: they are playing at The Lucky Cat Feb 16th where they'll be longer, louder, and much laughter. $5.

Anybody been to Lucali's Pizza? Its in your friend's neighborhood Bassie. I've heard good things but never been.

bassie

Thanks for the tips!

LOL - you know what I love about New York? That your whole trip is planned out before you even get there...but what about the records? When do I go to buy records? (that's just a joke)

dreskieboogie

Staten Island ferry is free and a must everytime.

very good pizza and even better calzone. do yourself a favor and get the large calzone, plain. you will not be disappointed.

byob, i think corkage is just $4 and the prices very reasonable.

waits can be a bitch though but definately worth it.

batmon

Fuck a line for pizza.

That's not NYC steez.
