Live TR, NYC June 26 - Jul 1

Back to the subway.

 

Went to the 911 Memorial. The museum was sold out for the day.

 

Thanks for the great pics Ty. Nice job on the escalator pic.

 

Love that you are back in NY! The 911 memorial is very sobering. I had forgotten how large those buildings were. Thank you for all of the pictures!

 

Chess players setting up in Washington Park.

 

Only this far in the trip report----and damnit this is exactly how I make my pirghoy/pierogi.

 

We had a private walking tour of West Village this morning.

The picture of a fire station is where Anderson Cooper lives

 

Lunch

 

On the bus leaving NYC to spend one night at Borgata.

 

Cafe Wha? has an interesting history, here is a link. If you have time on your return, it would be a fun place to check out. I really enjoy walking around Greenwich Village. When I was up in the area on business, I stopped at a restaurant called Fish, they had a special: 6 oysters and a can of Pabst for $8.

Are you taking Greyhound or NJ Transit bus to AC? Weather looks very nice, but a little cool. I was going to suggest visiting The Deck at Golden Nugget for live music, the band tonight is the famous "Cheezy & The Crackers" from 7-11 pm. Well, famous in NJ. Maybe in just one county. You get the picture. No cover charge.

 

We are taking Greyhound. Would NJ transit be better?

I can't find confirmation Fish is still open. When were you last there?

 

I believe Fish closed in 2020.

 

We're here.

 

It looks like Fish is closed. I guess my last visit was about 3 years ago. If you search "buck a shuck NYC" the most recent results are over a year old.

As for which bus is better, I think it's a toss up. The current round trip fare is $42 per person, I'm not sure if they offer a one way fare. Here is a link to the Route 319 Bus Schedule

Here is a trip advisor thread about the topic. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g29750-i78-k13595352-Question_for_recent_riders_of_Bus_319-Atlantic_City_New_Jersey.html

Here is a link to another bus service, Ourbus. Note the pickup and drop off spots.

For a future trip, you can take the NJ Transit Atlantic City line back to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and continue south to Baltimore.

 

You can’t go to Rudy’s and not show us your free hot dog!

 

It was so crowded, Kim kinda squeezed in with another group at one the bigger tables. I had to stand behind the people at the bar to get drinks for us.

We're hoping to get back there before we go home.

 

In line at Amphora.

 

Serious bagel place! Next.time let me know when you plan to visit! Bagels on me!

I am actually leaving for LV in less than 48 hours; otherwise I would find you to say hi!

Wishing you a wonderful time. Weather is supposed to be awesome while you are here and not too hot.
