Heading up again in a couple weeks

For those living there or more familiar (usually up for shows and meetings and not much time to explore), where are the best blues bars.  Terra Blues seems to be the more popular for pure blues.  Anyone been there?  Most have jazz and blues.  Not a fan of jazz so I don't to whiff, so to speak

Any help is appreciated

Terra Blues is probably the best. The Blue Note is classic. Too bad you don't like jazz, you should give 55 Bar a try. They sometimes have blues. That's the problem with living here. I could give you 10+ more to try that you'd like. It's too much sometimes. You can't see it all. Same with steak. Too many damn options. St. Anslem in Brooklyn is my favorite though.

Can you go to Peter Lugers Steakhouse and tell me how good it is.  I will live my experience through you.

My brother moved to Brookyln, so I went to stay with him a few days. Since I didn't have to pay for any lodging i took him and his wife out to Peter Lugers. 

My brother and I got the Porterhouse for two. Sister in law got the salmon. The plate is so hot that if you want to cook your steak more(not that you would) you can cook the steak on the rim. They have a spoon to baste the steak pieces in all the juices/butter. Best steak I've ever had, you won't be disappointed. 

We also got their potatoes and creamed spinach as sides. Not sure why the spinach is so renowned it didn't really taste that unique. Still good if you like creamed spinach. 

My brother and I also got a single piece of bacon and the onions/tomatoes for an appetizer. Fresh fresh tomatoes were just delicious. Great with the bacon, I could have ate that nonstop for dinner. The bacon is super thick. 

The rolls weren't warm I was slightly disappointed. For some reason every restaurant we went to didn't have warm bread. Maybe it's a NYC thing. Also the Peter Luger's sauce is pretty much cocktail sauce but with more "stank". 

We also got the apple strudel with a gigantic bowl of schlag(whipped cream). 

I think my sister in law ordered the cheapest bottle of wine but it was still 60 bucks lol. Overall I think our bill was around 360 dollars, not totally sure. Was worth every penny. I was so satisfied. 

I'd love to go back but I'll probably need to take them somewhere else the next time we go. 

One thing that's a little weird is every person that works there has gotta be a man over 50 years old. It's also cash or debit only.

Besides Keens, I think I went to Gallaghers also.  Sort of a tourist trap it seemed.

Brick oven pizza is also something I might go for.  Terra Blues seems to only serve whiskey, like hundreds of different ones.  That should be an adventure

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
