Happy belated birthday!

Happy belated birthday!

That Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is the $h!t though...

I've passed the White Castles at Fordham a bunch of times but only stopped in twice. Both ended badly. Yet, I'm tempted to stop in a third time. Third times a charm?

I've always lived in the west side of the Bronx off the 1 line or in Washington Heights/Inwood area most of my life so I prefer the west side due to convenience. The city doesn't make going cross town easy with going above ground. Benjamins is good. They're a Peter Luger style steakhouse which is different from the regular steak houses and I actually prefer Benjamin's over Peter Lugers. Also, Churrascaria Plataforma is pretty good too for a different kind of steak house. It's a Brazilian style steakhouse and it's all you can eat. Their cheese stuffed bread is good too that it's dange

Because there are so many good eats near the museum but the food in the museum sucks and is over priced. Good breakfast/brunch near the Museum. Sarabeth's (high end brunch place) Fred's Good Enough To Eat Pio Pio is a nice lunch/dinner spot but more for a group. It's Peruvian food and the green sauce for the chicken is awesome. Great sangria deals too. Dessert places, Insomnia Cookies is really good but Levain Bakery has the best chocolate chip cookies hands down bar none. In.the.world. People would line up on the street waiting for a bacth to co

If it's a "dirty water" hotdog, it has to be SaBretts. Look for that sign on the street vendors umbrella. Must have the onions on them if you're a true New Yorker. Otherwise, go to Gray's Papaya on 72nd and Amsterdam and get the 2 dogs and a drink combo. Make pina colada as the drink. Very close to the Museum of Natural History so you can grab a quick bite before the Musuem and then save Carmines for after. Nathan's is the last of the 3 hot dog triumphant of New York but it's all the way deep in Brooklyn. Museum of Natural History is between 77th and 81st. Carmine's is on 92nd.

I was offered a position with the US embassy to upgrade their networks. They would fly the team to all their different embassies through out the world to upgrade them all. At the time, I was in a relationship with someone whom I thought I was going to marry so I turned it down. In the end, caught her cheating and I dumped her. C'est La Vie.

If you get a NYC pizza, make sure you fold it in half and eat it while walking. No other way to eat it. Better yet, get two and double deck it like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. John Travolta eating pizza and walking - YouTube

Oh, forgot. While at 9/11 might as well stop inside The Oculus since you're already right there. not worth walking around but great to take a picture outside and then once you enter right into the top balcony, a nice view of the interior and you're done.

First let me preface one thing. There is always the "avoid tourist traps" warning. But some times you have no choice. Like The Eifel Tower is a tourist trap but if you go to Paris, how do you not go up the Eifel Tower? Recommendations: 1. After 9/11 Memorial, walk west to Broadway and then turn left and head north to City Hall. Stay on the right side of City Hall to get a nice view of the Brooklyn Bridge. You can walk halfway through the bridge and then turn back around. It is a nice walk with good views but if time is an issue, it can be skipped. 2. The east side

Welcome aboard.

Horse steak in Milan, Italy. Not a fan. Not sure why the site keeps flipping my pic upside down.

mRNA isn't exactly new. They've been testing it since 2013. Safety and immunogenicity of a mRNA rabies vaccine in healthy adults: an open-label, non-randomised, prospective, first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial - PubMed (nih.gov)
