I'm planning to go over this year for a break from Vegas. I want to experience a fight at MSG for a change. I might wait until the autumn for Hatton v Malinaggi or go to see Cotto fight. I was supposed to see Cotto v Mosley, but stayed behind for Haye v Mormeck.Loynesy wrote:EPNG - Peter Luger does indeed do fine steaks (I went last Saturday, co-incidentally), but its in the middle of nowhere - well Brooklyn.

You normally have to book 2 months in advance.

On the subject of chips (God I miss English chips, American ones are rubbish, and they don't even call then chips, they call them French Fries - although I've noticed that since the war on terror and general aversion to things Gallic, the first word is ofted dropped. They call crisps, chips which is stupid because everyone knows crisps are called crisps), I have a sublime chippy at the end of my road, the Nautilus. Posh for a chippy (it is NW London don't you know), but worth every extra penny. Anyone know it?
I've been told Old Homestead is very good (it's in South Mahattan, right?). I've been to Fleming's and Ruth Christies, but I hear that the latter baste the steak in butter which ruins it a little. I also love creamed spinach and corn, but it's hard to get in the UK.
I recommend Fleming's French Onion soup (it has a layer of cheese on top with bread bakend into it, it's awesome).
God, I miss working in the US. :(

I was brought up in NW London, Neasden to be precise (same place as Twiggy). Cant say I know the Nautilus but I did leave a long time ago. Neasden was a Jewish community in those days, lovely people, most of my Friends were Jewish.Loynesy wrote:EPNG - Peter Luger does indeed do fine steaks (I went last Saturday, co-incidentally), but its in the middle of nowhere - well Brooklyn.

both are good shows. Shameless is brilliantly over the top caricature, and amazingly enough, based on the writers own life, or at least the first series was.Terry D wrote:'Shameless' is shite Stu!

If you want a laugh watch the news, Fox News especially. "Hello! Welcome to Fox news! Is Osama Bin Laden sat behind you right now!?! Go get your guns! You! Never! Know! Now for the weather!!"
Family guys is very funny, but it is a bit of a one trick pony when compared to the Simpsons in it's prime, which sadly, just isn't funny any more.
The episode of Fasmily Guy where he tries to seduce Luke Perry is absolutely hilarious.
Yeah Family Guy's relentlessly funny!! The interaction between the Shameless characters is a very good (if exaggerated) representation of life in certain areas of our country, some of the people from round my way (mostly my relations) could put the Shameless characters to err .. shame (if they had any)jamesmcdonnell wrote:both are good shows.

Frank Gallagher and Keith off Eastenders are my heroes, I'd love to spend my day-to-day life in the manner that they do instead of coming to this shithole and worki.... wor.. fcuking about on the net. A BIG bag of green, Sky TV, Setanta and internet access and I'm happy as Larry. If any rich people read this and fancy sponsoring my aspired lifestyle and make a Ginger kid very happy in the process then PM me

Look Around You
Arrested Development
Both cult gems!

I've been told Old Homestead is very good (it's in South Mahattan, right?). I've been to Fleming's and Ruth Christies, but I hear that the latter baste the steak in butter which ruins it a little. I also love creamed spinach and corn, but it's hard to get in the UK.

God, I miss working in the US. :(
Off topic: I'll probably go to Atlantic City for the the PAvlik v Lockett fight if anyone wants to meet up there.

Done fella. I'm still undecided about Pavlik v Lockett. If the undercard is good I'll go, as it's looking unlikely that I can make Cotto Gomez and I'd like to go to the Boardwalk.Loynesy wrote:EPNG - yes, Old Homestead is down around 15th - a few blocks from my apartment.
