I go to Virgil's for lunch almost every day. They have very good stuff.
(44th and Bdway).

Daisy May is also good. They have a cart on 51st and 6th Ave. (if you
go to their place at 11th Ave, be wary of the racial diversity in the
area)

BBQ is HOT in NYC right now and you can't say that it's all bad. The
main problem is that to have a real wood smoker you need an expensive
scrubber or be lucky enough to inherit an existing pit somewhere in
Queens. To me, this is total bullshit. After breathing bus/truck fumes
all day in Times Square, I would find wood smoke quite refreshing!

Enjoy NYC!

What are you trying to say here?

Is racial diversity a bad thing, or are you just not partial to some of the
races that partake at that particular location?

Seems to me, someone in NYC should be pretty tolerant of diversity.

What the OP was trying to politely say, is that certain areas of NYC
can be extremely hazardous to your health if you don't belong there.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong or whether you like it or not.
That's the way it is and has been for a very long time.

Ok, I'm a Sichy kid from da North Bronx. Back in the late 50's, early 60's,
I hung a lot in Harlem & Spanish Harlem, no problemo. Even then, I avoided
the South Bronx, except for occasional treks to Fox St.

'cause that's the way it is. Like it or not.

Oh yeh, In 1965 I was forced to attend some kind of 'Social Conscientious
training
during my enlistement with the 'World Police Force'. I was presented with
the following: A well dressed black man hailed a taxi a 42nd and broadway in
NYC.
at midnight. When he directed the cabby to 2nd street in the village, the
'white' cabby
refused to take him there. When I pointed out to the instructor that it
would be worth
the cabby's life to go there at that time of night, I was told that, "It's
his job". The
instructor was black, and to this day I am amazed that he could lie like
that with
a straight face.

I lived in Brooklyn 25 years (thank you). When my apartment building
started to get "diverse", the elevator all of a sudden became a rest
room, the walls were covered with graffiti and people were asked to
provide their wallets to strangers they met in the halls.

When my first kid was born, I escaped to New Jersey. My town is one of
those horrible "lilly white" places you read about. We don't lock our
doors, we respect our neighbors, we don't let our kids join gangs or
listen to 50 cent.

Getting back to NYC, the locals know where the safe areas are (although
plenty get mugged on Park Avenue too). Tourists sometimes stray into
wrong areas, so telling them to be on alert has nothing to do with
being racist. Like in any other town, a white person in a black area
can get in trouble just as much as a black in an all white
neighborhood.

I detest all of these ACLU types who frown upon lack of "minority
diversity". Take the D train to 205th street at midnight or else shut
the f- up.

Cheers

I took the 'D' train on the IND up to the end of the line at 205th St.
during the late 50's at midnight and later, Mon thru Fri. Never had a
problem.
