Yes, that was a deft touch.

I've been to every one of these great nights, and a bunch of us go to Keen's on 36th just off 6th. Great steak, prime rib and mutton chops, and not part of a chain. You may be able to eat at the bar without a res. If not, koreatown, as noted, is a great choice.
Still remember pointing out Ned Harkness to my daughter. Like finding a piece of the cross, IMHO.

ugarte

also love keen's the bar menu is great, and inexpensive (relative to the general ny steakhouse experience). fried chicken cobb, filet steak tips, and prime rib (iirc) hash all great.

What's the big deal?  It's not like you're going to a Devils game.  This is the real thing

Do what you gotta do. In 2006, I took the bus back and forth from Ithaca to go to Mets playoff games. The one that I bailed on because of schoolwork and hassle was game 7 of the NLCS, and we know how that went.

HEY. The Devils are real.

But no, for real though this is probably (definitely) my longest solo trip that isn't for family/school. AND it's for hockey. Which is extra fun. Which is also weird bc I'm used to taking transatlantic flights alone like it's nothing - hell, I studied in Switzerland solo as a newly-18-year-old - and THIS is what's getting my anxiety up. I'm an adult. I'm doing adult shit now. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I think I made it to two playoff games and bailed on the third. I'm from Rockland County (west of Westchester, north of Jersey), so I could stay there  at least.

Man, I thought I was committed flying from Oregon for Fish 'n Fowl and the ECACs.  The bus is a different kettle of fish, like the one your seatmate was probably carrying.

I thought it really was my fault cause we were 7-0 in playoff games I had been to. Game 2 of the 2015 world series let me off that hook.

Oh, and Beltran had a monster postseason and wasn't touching that ball with a tennis racket. Plenty of blame to go around (Guillermo Moto getting torched by Scott Speizio, Shawn Green not catching Speizio's ball anyway, Heisman for the homer to Yadi, Glavine for getting beat up in game 5), but Beltran's towards the bottom of the list.
