Thread: New York

We'll ask around, since we are both hermits we really don't know what are good places to hang out.

We would hate to send you to an all gay bar in the village or a rap convention in Harlem by mistake.

Will you be going with your wife?

Um nope... Just the guys.

oh....oh....

I don't think this would be a problem.

heh, I realized that after I posted it.

There's the Ripley's Believe It or Not's on Time Square not far from you.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium New York



If you want to get pregnant check this out.

World Famous Cote-d’Ivoire Statues are linked to more than 2,000 pregnancies – So proceed with caution!

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. (Aug. 13, 2008) – Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium on 42nd Street in Manhattan will host the first stop of a three year, multi-city tour of the world famous Ripley’s Fertility Statues!

“Please Don’t Touch – Unless You Want a Baby!”

More than 2,000 women have reported they became pregnant shortly after touching the wooden statues. Many of them had been told by doctors they would never be able to conceive! Since the women’s stories became public in 1994, millions have visited the statues.
Beginning Aug. 26, the statues will be on display for a three-month engagement in the lobby of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in Times Square. Would-be parents are invited to come in and touch them for FREE during regular business hours.
The five-foot tall wooden statues were acquired from the Ivory Coast (Cote-d'Ivoire ) of West Africa in 1994, and were placed in the lobby of Ripley Entertainment’s corporate headquarters in Orlando. Within months, 13 women, including staffers and office visitors were pregnant.
Following a December 1996 story in the Wall Street Journal chronicling the phenomenon, the demand to touch them became international news. In the ensuing years, the edifices made three trips around the world, stopping at Believe It or Not! museums, allowing millions easy and free access.
They were retired to the Ripley warehouse in 2001, but due to great demand, they were put on display at the Ripley headquarters in Orlando where they have been seen by hundreds each month who made a special pilgrimage to see and touch the statues.
“For years now, we have been inundated with requests to make these statues available once again at our odditoriums throughout the world,” said Edward Meyer, VP Archives & Exhibits for Ripley Entertainment. “Amazingly, people are still finding out about them and call us wanting an opportunity to come in and touch them. Due to this demand, we have decided to tour them again.”
After New York City, the statues will spend a month each at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museums in Grand Prairie Texas and Williamsburg, Va. They will begin 2009 in Branson, Mo.

Weren't you lecturing doublebase about your 'out of country' rule??? So are you gonna practice what you preach??

I was talking about this to a colleague of mine and here is a question. If i say "I'm going to be at 6th and 41st" How would you know that I'm not going to be at 6th Street and 41 Ave instead of the other way around?

ok, so what if someone said that they would met you at 2nd and 12th. Both those numbers fall in the street and ave side of things. So would they mean 2nd ave and 12th street or 2nd street and 12th ave? Imagine you are talking to someone from out of town.

That's the best bet, it would take less than 45 minutes. plus you get to see all of the rejects John Rocker mentioned.,,it's really not that bad.

So true, stay away from them....some come with an extra leg if you know what I mean.
Scores used to be a good place to see girls dance, don't know if it's still good.

You would have to say 2nd ave.....most cab drivers and New Yorkers already know what streets exist ands what doesn't.
But this really only applies to Manhatten, in Brooklyn and Queens you have to be specific.
75 Street can turn into a road or even a Lane or Avenue.
