When I lived in NYC, I was on the hunt for the perfect burger. I went to places all over Brooklyn and all over Manhattan to try and find it. Lots of people told me to head to Shake Shack. I went at an off time 3pm when it was about 25 outside but I…More »

I go here because people who visit from out of town want to go here.
I go here because if I want to see a show, I kind of have to go here.

I don't get what the big deal is about Times Square.  Yes, the lights are bright and yes, the signs are big, but…More »

wtf is the big deal about Nathan's? I've been there twice. Both times, the service was the worst I've ever encountered and the food was not good. Why people act like this place is the second coming of (insert diety of your choice here) is beyond me.

dirty, grimy, overpriced and perhaps one of the most depressing places I've ever been that is supposed to be fun.

I went before Astroland closed, I walked the boardwalk, I saw people shoot the freak, I've seen the hot dog eating contest and I never,…More »

I was going to give 3 stars, but I'm baffled how a place called Hill Country does not have a Hill Country beer. No Shiner? Wtf. No star for you.

These people need to learn how to cut brisket. Any good Texan knows it's across the grain and it does make…More »

Neighbourhood: Coney Island

2.0 star rating
  12/4/2008

Like most things in NYC, this place needs a good pressure washing and a paint job.
I've been to several aquariums around the country (baltimore, texas, georgia) and this one just looks tired and sad compared to anywhere else I've been.
The enclosures…More »
