Weekend away day 1

Well I was up early to go to new York on Saturday. My dad picked me up to being me to the T and then I was heading to south station. There was a girl next to me on the red line eating corn on the Cobb. This might have been one of the oddest things ive seen someone eat on the train. My bus left kind of late so I was mad, then the worst human sat near me. Good thing I nodded off for most of the first half of the ride. I got 2 seats to myself!
Then I ran to the LIRR to catch the train to Joanna. Once her and Shane picked me up we went to smokin als for dinner. We got the fried pickles and they were pretty good. They were cut the long way which is the first time I've seen some like that.



They had a paper towel roll on the table! I always think every BBQ place should.



Then our food came! Me and Joanna both got brisket platters w/ Mac & cheese. It was one of the best Mac & cheeses I've had.






Shane got a burger. It had so many gross onions on it that I was getting nervous.



There was pig pictures around the whole place. This one was my favorite. Chippendale piggies in the girls bathroom!!






After we ate we headed to monster golf. I've posted pictures from the one here so I won't post too many.
They had pigs!


Then I got a high score on a gun game!



After monster golf we went to phatsos to eat fried yummies!



Joanna got fried Oreos and me and Shane split the fried s'mores & ring dings. The ring dings were my favorite! The guy who ran the place was super nice too!



New york has puppy scratch tickets



Then we went to sleep!

Larry J's house of Q review v.1

well a few weeks ago me garvey and mike went to larry j's house of q in chelsea. i forgot to do a review on it when we went there so since im going there tonight id figure id do this one.
so we drive there and it was fairly easy to get to and its street parking. we parked within a block or two of the place.

here are some pictures of the place







i give the inside/decor a 9. it was really clean and fun looking. and it has the most essential thing..... A PAPER TOWEL ROLL ATTACHED TO THE BOOTH. this is a such an important thing at a messy place and i love when places have it. the wait wasnt too long for our food to come, maybe 10 minutes or so. Larry's wife handled us at the register and he was even there later to chat and walk around.

our food came

i wasnt 100% sure what i wanted so i got a few smaller things. i got burnt ends, mac & cheese, and fried pickles. pretty much anywhere that offers fried pickles i need to try them. they are my favorite.
i wasnt a huge fan of the burnt ends, they were a little too big for me. the mac and cheese i liked a little better, but it didnt have a ton of flavor. the fried pickles were really good and one of the better ones ive had.
overall i give the food a 6.5

mike got a pulled pork sandwich and fries and garvey got a pulled jerk chicken sandwich with fries. they both had the same rating about the food as i did.

tonight me and harry are going there and im going to try something different and give another review. im hoping i pick something i like a lot more.

TSHIRT FEATURE v.6

OWNER-harry
hes in boston!




Tell me about the shirt!:
This shit has to be 25+ years old, and it advertises a BBQ restaurant from down South that is probably no more.

why is it important to you?:
Since there is no information whatsoever about the restaurant's location, phone number, etc, the shirt is just totally bizarre and random. The lack of context makes the design/phrase really funny.

where did you get it?:
It's a shirt my dad wore back in the day and he gave it to me because he eventually never wore it and I got such a kick out of it.

any story you want to share about it?:
I was wearing this shirt when I got arrested when I was 18 for smoking weed, and you can see the pig's face in my mugshot.
