~sigh~
And we could have been so good together! *L*

[Oschisms]

We'll always have the Irish Breakfast.

Rick and Ilsa can keep Paris. :)

[Happygal]

Will you run off my extra fried bread for me? Toots? ;-)

[Oschisms]

You bet, Sweetheart.
(You don't know how much trouble I've put into my Irish Bacon, fried tomato omelette)

Yeah, it's unorthodox- trust the Yanks to value prep time over flavor. :)

[Happygal]

OMG..I think, I'm in love.
If I leave right now! I might just get there by breakfast!!!

[Oschisms]

Go'on with ya-

You were in love long before that post.

My cooking is icing on the cake.

[Happygal]

~cough~
~splutter~

Not a bit of it.

I didn't hear how you did back ribs with cabbage yet, ye latchico! ;-)

[Oschisms]

That's cause in this country it's called corned beef and cabbage...And the Jews do it better than the Irish :(

I order mine from Pastrami Queen

[Happygal]

I could cook if for you!

And you don't need to call me Queen.


Princess is optional! ;-)

[Oschisms]

Ah, but doesn't it go without saying?

If we never meet for a pint (Guinness), you're still a princess in my book.

[Oschisms]

And with that I'm gonna go to bed.

Firstly, I'm unemployed right now and need to sound coherent over the phone early tommorrow, in case someone calls me back.

Secondly, I don't think I can top any of my earlier posts. :)

Good night, sweetheart. Perhaps it's good morning your time.

[Happygal]

Good luck on the job hunt. :-)

And g'nite...if I'm a princess, what does that make you? :-)
Not a Charles...no.
G'nite, darlin'. *S*

Best time to go to McSorley's is during the week mid-afternoon. Weekends gets to touristy with the blue police barricades out front to control the people in line. Not fun.

Try:
d.b.a. 41 1st Avenue (between 2nd and 3rd streets), Tel: 212.475-5097
12 taps; over 60 bottled beers (strong on Belgian and British). Now, authentic hand pumps! Outdoor garden seating. They don't serve food, but you can bring in take-out. Bring in the best fries in NYC from Pomme Frites around the block on 2nd Ave and 6th Street.

Swift Hibernian Lounge, 34 E. 4th St., Off of 4th Ave. Tel: 212-22-SWIFT or 212-260-3600.
My favorite Irish pub- has good pub food, great Guinness

For late lunch, dinner - try Pete's Tavern-- 129 East 18th Street New York City 212-473-7676
Opened in 1864. They're listed as Italian food but has all types- best chicken parm in the city - grab a booth in one of the back rooms.

Also The Ginger Man is pretty cool--. 11 East 36th Street (between 5th and Madison), Tel: 532-3740.
A sibling of three locations in Texas (the original in Houston, one in Dallas, and one in Austin), The Ginger Man offers 66-taps of fine craft beers from around the world with nearly 100 excellent selections of bottled beers. Conveniently located one block away from the Pierpont Morgan Library for all you tourists and art lovers.


All IMHO - have fun!

Also try The Water Club for weekend brunch. Very Nice - right on the E. River/FDR Drive at about 27th Street.

Regarding Katz's: Ryan and the sandwich? For my reply see post 29.

Thanks for the tip.

"F-that!"

Ya know, this is so funny because my buddy from the East coast laughed when I told him that I was getting opinions on the best places to go in NY for food and drink.

He said that I could stop 1000 people there in the street and get 1000 different opinions on the best. I think he even used the term "F-that" and "Fuggetabowdit".

He all but predicted a flame war. (not on this site! Ha!)

Thanks,

Brew

So do I hear right that, with apologies to Yogi Bera, nobody goes there any more - it's too crowded!

Man, I'm gonna gain about 20 pounds that week.

"...try Sevilla Restaurant & Bar in the Village ..."

My buddy is familiar with the Village. I'll ask him about Sevilla.

I'm a HUGE jazz fan as well. Have you been to the Vanguard much?
