Subject: [AsburyPark] How much should drinks cost these days?

Curious. Is it me just getting old or what or are expenses so high with liquor?

the other night, I met my wife and daughter at Sirena in LB (same as stella 
etc).

House wine: $11 per glass

the other night, I got home late and my daughter said hey dad, let's get out 
and go get a burger, lets try Ivan's since we haven't gone there...

Great burger ($5) for me with a Sam Adams Oktoberfest, she had a steak sandwich 
and salad and no drink. Bill came and I glanced at it. 

$7.00 for a draft of Sam Adams? I had to ask if that was right. Told it was.

Glad I only had one. The guy next to me said the reg beers are $3. I think 
that's what he said. I guess I have to check them out at happy hour. I figured 
Monday night football... cheap guys night out.

I don't know. I was in NYC the past two days and don't think my bar tabs were 
that. 

A couple years ago, I got past the $4 per beer point, then $5, then $6 for 
premium.  

Paying $11 for a glass of $9 per bottle of wine...

I got shafted a few weeks ago in a retirement village. It said a pint  of beer. 
I know if I drank a pint, I'd be, well feeling it. The plastic cup was a 12oz 
cup. My wife said don't say anything. $5. 

But I did. The waitress told me that's our pint cup...

I'm just putting this out there because I want to see all these places make it 
and not a place to come to for just special nights.

At least the parking was free.

[AsburyPark] Re: A Carousel can work in Brooklyn

2011-11-10 Thread arcman210
How exactly did the carousel ruin views of the skyline?  The building is small 
in comparison to the size of the park.  I think the carousel is wonderful.  And 
it was donated to the newly renovated and expanded park and is housed in a 
building designed by a world renound architect.  

Sounds like a case of NIMBYs just complaining about anything possible.

And the comparison I'm making is about the fact that a carousel can be a 
successful attraction in a city like Brooklyn (regardless of where exactly it 
was placed).
