“at Newark Airport”
lol - you’ll pay $12 for a ham sandwich at an airport. Good luck getting a descent burger, fries, and a beer for under $25. Add a few more $12 drinks, plus tax...sure $70+.
Moral of the story, try not to buy food & drinks at the airport. If you must, by a sandwich and stay away from alcohol.
I haven’t had a Subway since they hired Megan Rapinwhore as a spokesfreak. Jersey Mike’s is better anyway.
These clowns dont think theyll be challenged. This was great.
“Keep drinking buddy”😂😂😂
Places like the 99 chain in New England can charge something like $13-18 or so for burger and fries (Vermont Cheddar Burger, Bacon cheeseburger etc). Halfway decent. Big Mac or Whopper at fast food places a bit cheaper (but you can’t buy a beer...)
Booze can add a bit to a bill...spent close to $40 at Hofbrauhaus in Pittsburgh for a reuben, litre of beer and apple strudel—and in retrospect the beer was only halfway decent. They used to have a lunch buffet there—no more?
A few years ago after Covid restrictions were relaxed,
I took the City Brew Tour of Pittsburgh—5 hours of “you drink, we drive”. We went to four different craft beer places and had a flight at each (samples of different beers, adding up to 16 oz each) but also included with a great meal at Penn Brewery (a place I already knew and loved). Pretty good.
Later on that day I joined a friend of mine who lived in Westmoreland County and we enjoyed TGIFridays.
Explaining all my brewskis earlier, I ordered...a Coke.
Well said.
My thoughts exactly!
Haven’t flown to Pittsburgh the past couple years, choosing to drive all the way in my own car, but back then, I found Penn Brewery had a location at PIT right across from the Southwest gate. Enjoyed sandwich, beer there—not too bad price wise.
Another time I flew from NH to Pittsburgh but the plane stopped at Philly and I had a brief layover—enough time to eat a cheesesteak (of course) at a bar & grille in the airport. Also half decent price wise. (The big story on TV was Ben Roethlisburger being injured in a cycle crash or something)
That’s right.
Hmmm.... not much option, then, is there?
I thought he quit drinking? Seriously, didn’t he write a book about healthy living through spirituality or some 12 step stuff?
I found two cringeworthy books of his:

https://www.amazon.com/Second-Mountain-David-Brooks/dp/0812993268
Somehow I don’t think he recommended drinking heavily at airports.
Lol.
“cheeseburger, fries for $12”
Damn cheap these days. Hard to find that anywhere under $15 and often $20.
You should not drink and tweet.
