Poncho's Man, I miss that place.  The Mexican in New York is crap. A couple under the radar places in Midtown that I liked were: La Croix Creole The Philly Cheesesteak place on 39th & Walnut The Carribean place on 39th & Baltimore If you like gizzards, you've got to hit up Go Chicken Go (don...

I'm curious about the status of a some of the projects I heard about when I was attending the school. I thought they were going to construct a new building for the Conservatory on what is now the soccer field.  I also heard that the entire Rockhill/Volker intersection was going to be rebuild with a ...

This is truly sad.  Rumi and Adis Abbaba were two of my favorite restaurants and were definitely on my list of "must eat" places next time I'm back in town. However, they did replace the last two Mediterranean and Ethiopian places to close down on 39th (Tribal Grill and Blue Nile).  Hopefu...

That's a funny turn of phrase.  I am really turned off by the more vocal westside denizens and their petty neighborhood association's position on these matters. I agree. There are just a few people who own a good portion of the Westside.  They insist on keeping the area a quiet, residential neighbo...

And you can get all the knock off designer purses and bootleg DVDs you can handle! Nah, I don't buy any of that crap.  I don't go to any of the stores that are directly on Canal, because they usually just sell that sort of junk.  But in some stores off of Canal, you can find some nice Chinese impor...

all chinatowns smell; it's part of what makes them different. you should absolutely go to brooklyn. it is the most populous borough and is experiencing a make-over (read: hipper, cheaper). it is also home to the brooklyn botanical garden and the new york transit museum. it has become the "real...

I would agree with the sentiminet to avoid that neighborhood. However, there are some other areas that many people would call "ghetto" but aren't really that bad- such as parts of the Northeast and Midtown.  I lived in one such area for several years- never had any problems and got a nice ...

I know of one row on 34th Terrace, between Main and the foreign language academy. My first apartment was in one of those rows (the one further east).  It was an atrocious remodel with none of the original character.  They walled over the door to mini balcony on my 3rd floor apartment.  It was also ...

There is more money to be made in the United States than Canada.  I just read that the NHL will realign the divisons to set up for expansion of two teams.  If that is the case I say the Pens move to Kansas City and Pittsburgh gets a "new" Penguins in two years.  Sidney Crosby will lead th...

Remember.. all newspapers like to predict gloom and doom because it sells papers. The feeling in that meeting might not have been that drastic. Just a thought. That may be true, but the news coming out of Pittsburgh and the Post-Gazette has been very optimistic over the past week or so.  They have ...

Another article: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/cityregion/s_489487.html Not as negative as the Post-Gazette. One important point it brings up: While Penguins officials are considering moving the team to Kansas City, they have not applied to the NHL for relocation, said deputy commis...

what about Flo's Polka Dot Lounge?  in my old and dear neighborhood of western hills? I used to go to Flo's all the time in high school- mostly because I could. I haven't been back in years. They had a perfect jukebox for a dive bar. To this day, whenever I hear certain Bob Seger tunes, memories of...

Plus, I don't know of any interstate that is actually a boulevard. I can't imagine the feds converting I-70 into a boulevard. I know this is a significantly different situation, but here is an example of an expressway turning into a boulevard (parkway) in Brooklyn. I live on this parkway about half...
