NEW YORK SHOW MEETING PLACE THREAD..... FANS U.N.I.T.E!!!

[brooklyndust]

I have noticed a lot of threads being created for the New York shows, so instead of having multiple threads why don't we just have one
I say for who ever is going to the first show@ summer stage that we meet at the summer stage around 4 or 5pm I am going to be there with a sign that says BBMB,
I am planning out my trip right now, I plan on flying out of Detroit on Aug 8th arriving in New York around noon that same day. I am planning on staying in a hostel or somewhere cheap (any good recommendations?)
The only problem is I do not have any tickets for the shows, I am planning on buying some tickets off eBay but would rather pay face value instead of paying a scalper.
I am looking for other fans to chill with before the shows, other fans who want to check out the Paul's Boutique location and other beastie land marks. other fans with to travel with to the Brooklyn show, or to split cabs to get around town. cut the cost in half

so PM me if your interested in meeting or if you have any extra tickets, also post in this thread if your going to the New York show and you want to meet, or if you have any other ideas for places to meet before the shows or after the shows

[DrunkenMantis]

I'm going to the Hammerstein show. Anyone going?

[SpacemanSpliff]

I am looking for other fans to chill with before the shows, other fans who want to check out the Paul's Boutique location and other beastie land marks.

yep, lets do it! i was also planning on checking out beastie boys landmarks like paul´s boutique, oscilloscope studios, etc.

got tix for all shows in NY (8th central park, 9th brooklyn, 10th hammerstein) and would be cool to meet up with some people before and/or after the shows and have some beers.

arriving in NY aug 7th evening

[Tramma]

Ok for me and my crew.
I don't know NYC very well so plese PM me when you decide a place.
i'm gonna leaving Italy for USA on Aug. 3rd but think I will have an occasional internet access.

Tramma

[baldvinny]

i would check craigslist for tickets before i looked to a scalper or ebay

i've lived in nyc all my life. if anyone needs any info, feel free to drop a line

[lyneday]

I'm really wishing I would have taken the week off, I would have loved to hang in the city with out of towners. I'm going to be a zombie at work.

Try stubhub as well for tickets.

I have tickets for McCarren, going to try to make Central Park and I think I'll goto Hammerstein but I haven't gotten tix yet.

[SpacemanSpliff]

[lyneday]

I'll def meet up with people, but I'mw ishing I took off a few days cause I work out on LI and the earliest I'll get ot the city on Wednesday is like 6:30 =o(

Thursday I'll be in BK by 4 and Friday I can be in the city by 4. Would have liked take people around the city since NYers kinda take the touristy stuff for granted and there's LOTS I haven't done

[brooklyndust]

we should all have a huge lunch at paul's boutique right before the hammerstein show on the 10th

for now I think the easiest thing to do is meet up at summerstage on the first day

10th: sounds good to me

8th: meet what time and where exactly?

[dansemy]

My wife and I are going to the McCarren Park show. We live in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Looking forward to a fun show as long as I can ignore the hipsters who are too cool to dance and bug out. Prove me wrong hipsters!!!

[brooklyndust]

I will be arriving at laguardia around 12:50 on the 8th and hopefully checking into my hostel around 1 or 2,

anyone have any good ideas on where to meet? seinfeld resturant? faq schwarz is around summerstage, hunter college,

let me know, pm me for my cellphone # if you want to text me when i am in the city

[superdupershan]

I'm going to all 3 shows and would love to meet up with some people. Just throwin' it out there, maybe we could meet up before the Central Park show at Strawberry Fields? It's on the West Side between 71st and 74th Streets, and the Summerstage is at 69th Street and 5th Avenue. Thoughts?

[brooklyndust]

does everyone want to meet at strawberry fields?

i am down for that, what time is good for everyone else?

[brooklyndust]

here is a another map of central park, http://www.centralparknyc.org/virtualpark/photogalleries/strawberryfieldstour

[superdupershan]

Let's meet at the Imagine mosaic at Strawberry Fields. On the ticket it says doors at 5:30, so maybe like 4:30?

[brooklyndust]

sounds good to me, anyone else? I will be wearing this shirt: http://www.beastieboys.com/store/themixup/product.php?id=32

[insertnamehere]

brooklydust noooo.... you're not wearing a bboy shirt at a bboy show are you?

[alikat]

Hey I can't do the lunch but if you line up early on the 10th please make yourselves known!

(ps - don't sweat the t-shirt haters b-dust. i think the shirt-at-show faux pas has gotten old enough to be ironically hip)

[brooklyndust]

i got a shirt and tie for the gala event, still wearing jeans though

[turbowagon]

Strawberry Fields by Imagine @ 430! Sounds like a plan. Coming in from DC, staying at the Jazz Hostel.

I'll check it out.

[redever69]

I'm down for meeting people before the hammerstein show. Any consensus on where or when.

Also, I have two tickets for sale for the Hammerstein show. No scalping here. Just what I paid for them. $65.20 each to be exact.

word.

[SpacemanSpliff]

Strawberry Fields by Imagine @ 430! Sounds like a plan.

good plan, i will be there with a cold beer.

[brooklyndust]

maybee to make it more fun we can meet @ 4:20

[SpacemanSpliff]

maybee to make it more fun we can meet @ 4:20

[brooklyndust]

[mkvl3]

Well, I have an extra ticket for Central Park. My friend bailed on me so i'm going solo. :( I'm asking $60 which is what I paid Ticketmaster (including fees). If you want it PM me (first ask- first served) and i'll give you the ticket at the meeting spot - Strawberry Fields by Imagine @ 430.

[turbowagon]

What's the word with beer @ Strawberry Fields?

Keep it low key I suppose?

[turbowagon]

[DirtyPete]

any decision made on where to meet up for mccarren and hammerstein?

[MixMasterMikeD]

I'd like to know as well. Couldn't make it to the show tonight but I'll be there Thursday and Friday with about 5 friends. Might have to tell my friends I'll "join them in fiive minutes" for the the Friday night show.;)

[redever69]

'Sup people?

I'll be coming from work to the show on Friday but it would be cool to meet up with people at the show any ideas on a meeting place?

I'll be wearing a red and white striped jacket if anyone sees me.

Also, I just posted a thread that I have two extra tickets if anyone is interested. I just want what I paid for 'em. $65.

word.

[lyneday]

WEBSITE: www.bamontesrestaurant.com
DELIVERY: Take-Out only
WE SAY: Established in 1900, Bamonte's has the best Italian atmosphere
in the hood. Has an old-school, Sopranos feel and is gloriously hipster
free. Plus, many of the pastas are homemade. Bamontes effin rules and
is a hidden treasure. The best place in Williamsburg to take out of
towners. Be sure to make a reservation on weekends. Bamonte's will make

WE SAY: Voted best pizza by the NY Press, this brick oven joint boasts
that its brick oven is 112 years old. Maybe this is true, but to be
honest all we really care about is the pizza and it is pretty darn
good. Atmosphere is classic Brooklyn, wood paneling and all, and
perfect for a cozy dinner. Italian entrees with often homemade pasta
are a nice added bonus.

ADDRESS: 436 Union Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11211
(Between Devoe Street and Metropolitan Ave.) 7 blocks
PHONE: 718.387.0303
HOURS: Mon-Sat 12pm-12am

AVERAGE ENTREE:

MAP: 4 blocks from Park
http://www.google.com/maps?q=436+Union+Ave,+Brooklyn,+NY+11211,+USA&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1
DELIVERY: Yes
EXTRAS: Outdoor dining
WE SAY: The owner of Taco Chula has taken over the storefront and
garden formerly known as Uncle Mina. Though not as upscale as its taco
counterpart, if frequent dining is an indication of a good eating
joint, this one may be our current #1. For the past week we've ordered
take out from Falafel Chula almost every night. The reasons: a).
They’re inexpensive and quick for a working girl like myself who
doesn’t always feel like cooking. b). Their Middle Eastern food is
fresh and we can tell they change the oil in the fryer frequently. c).
The staff is so nice that it’s like our falafel sandwich is not only
wrapped in pita, but packaged with love. Love from a waitstaff is
pretty hard to find these days, especially in snarky Williamsburg, so
we’re going to take all we can get. We have been having a difficult
time moving beyond the Deluxe Falafel sandwich. The roasted eggplant
and freshly fried green falafel is some of the best we’ve had in the
city. We’ll let you know how the other menu items are when we grow
tired of this sandwich. But we suspect it’s going to be a while.

Miyako
CUISINE: Sushi, Japanese, Korean
ADDRESS: 143 Berry St., Brooklyn, NY 11211
at North 6th Street
PHONE: 718.486.0837
HOURS: Mon-Sat, 5pm-11pm; Sun, closed
CARDS: American Express, MasterCard, Visa ($20 min.)
BOOZE: Beer, Wine, Sake
ENTREES: $8 - $17
MENU: http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/miyako/menus/main.html
SUBWAY: L at Bedford Ave.
MAP: 9 blocks
http://www.google.com/maps?
q=143+Berry+St,+Brooklyn,+NY+11211&ie=UTF8&z=15&om=1
DELIVERY: No
WE SAY: The best sushi in Williamsburg at a reasonable price. The
interior is subtly decorated with soft colors and wood benches,
providing a very enjoyable and Zen atmosphere. Korean dishes are
equally satisfying. Try the ginger tofu or ginger chicken and you will
not be disappointed. Flavors are refreshing in their subtlety, as they
should be. If you want Thai—go to PlanEat Thai. If you want sushi or
Korean- Miyako is the place to be. On the downside: the crab is that
fake crap.

Turkey's Nest at the park end of Bedford Ave...

A true dive bar plus they've got Big Buck Hunter Pro in the back. Don't get hustled, the Polish chicks around there are nice with the sawed-off shotty.

ooPs I forgot the name when I first posted it.
Does this sound like a plan??
Pick a time, any time lol

[dansemy]

That's cool. Most patrons erroneously (or ironically) refer to it as "Turkey's Neck". Plastic cups discourage bottle fights.

There's another drinking establishment in the area called Enid's that's somewhat fly.

5:30 pm doors doesn't leave much time for the pre-party. Anyone know an official start time for tonight's musical journey? Brooklyn what!
