Just confirmed the NY trip, no car so. Food/beer/stuff in Manhattan. We have been before so not really looking for Empire State-ish stuff.

Birreria @ eataly is one of our favorites, roof top dinning is pretty cool.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Most of my "need to see" acts are dead. He is one of a few left alive.

Great show, John Mayer, Jimmy Vaughn, Doyle Bramall (SP) and Derick Trucks (that guy can fucking play blues) were guests. For those over 40, Paul Carrack was on B3.

Too short to do justice to 50+ years of recording.

Had on tap Bells 2 Heart, Lagunitas IIpa at Alfie's. Burger was great too.

At the Village Tavern Stone IPA. Was trying to talk M into the Rangers game and found out there It was nooner.

Wee Mollies is a hole but had Goose Island IPA as a guest.

The pony is an odd spot. Had Green Flash IIPA, Adirondack Dortmonder and one I didn't wright down. Food was good and kind of different (think Stillwell).

Got a 6 of Sculpen and Captain Lawrence IPA.

I "Preformed" on stage at the Apollo Theater. Old guy spoken word!

Short but fun trip!
