brieflynoted:
soupsoup:
The results of the Great Shake Shack Debate.
Shake Shack wins!
Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien was the closest runner up, which barely edged out Corner Bistro. Here are the write in votes:
Toast on Broadway & 125th
Rare (2 votes)
Jackson Hole (2 votes)
Five Guys
Mc Donalds (2 votes)
I’m curious- what was the overall sample number of votes? Corner Bistro should have a much smaller piece of the pie in my opinion. I had the worst experience there last time! Ugh, thinking about it almost makes me sick.
Ok, so stemming from my burgr meetup post yesterday - should we use this as jumping off point? In one day, we could go to:
Burger Joint
Shake Shack
Corner Bistro
Here’s where it gets tricky. What other 2-4 places do we add (I’m thinking 5 places should be our max btw, especially with travel and wait time)? Suggestions in response to the post included:
Pop Burger
Lure Fishbar
Seymour Burton
Zaitzeff
Dumont (Williamsburg - add some time onto the journey)
Wall Street Burger Shoppe
Spitzer’s
Maxie’s Bar and Grill
In terms of dates, I propose Sunday, July 6th (Great way to end the weekend or already too fat and bloated from the 4th? You decide), Saturday July 19th, or some time in August.

Cast your votes for the date for the big Burger-Rama in the comments of this post here.

A Modest Proposal - Tumblr Burgr Meetup

Ok, I’m gonna admit it, I’ve never had Shake Shack. Yeah, I know, sue me. I promise to have it in the next few weeks. I’ve also never been to Corner Bistro or had a Burger at Luger’s.
I have had: Lucky Burger, Brgr, White Horse, Burgers and Cupcakes, Five Guys, Jackson Hole, Chelsea Grill, Island Burger (the chicken is way better), 123 Burger Shot Beer Sliders, Route 66 Cafe, and my personal favorite, Burger Joint.
I’m proposing we get a group together, create a consensus on the top 5-7 places to try throughout the five boroughs, and ultimately decide who has the best burger in NYC. This should take an entire day, especially if there’s some travel involved; but that’s probably better for our digestion.
Sure I know this has been done before, but not by me, not by us. So really, it doesn’t count. As we speak, Soup is surveying the unwashed masses (Met fans) to see what they think. Maybe we use those results as a jumping off point - or maybe we strike out on our own.
Now the real question: Who’s with me?
IN (N-OUT).

Lets do this! Sign me up. I want to add DuMont in Williamsburg to the list. :) - Sarah

Most awesome celebrity soccer match ever.

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:05:20 -0400

Most awesome celebrity soccer match ever.:

The worlds of basketball and soccer will meet on artificial turf in downtown Manhattan on Wednesday when Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns and Claudio Reyna of the Red Bulls host the “Showdown in Chinatown.” The soccer match, for the benefit of the two players’ charitable foundations, will be played at Sara D. Roosevelt Park from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The roster of players also includes the English soccer players Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler, and the N.B.A. players Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa and David Lee.

If you like soccer, the NBA, charity, or all three, and you have the opportunity, you owe it to yourself to check this out. Should be a blast.

Afterwards, the guys are supposedly heading over to a nearby bar or club to party and hold an auction, but I can’t find much info on that.

Tumblr Day At Shea

Tumblr Day At Shea:

Hey, everybody - this is tonight. I have an extra ticket if anybody would like it. It’s 35 bucks, which is what I paid including shipping and other charges. I’m obviously not looking to make any money with this. E-mail zachlinder/gmail ASAP to claim it and join the fun.

Friday, June 13th 7:10PM
Theres a block of 10 tickets for the game against the Rangers on StubHub.
I think this might be our best shot. The seats are 4 rows behind the boxes in the upper deck, just to the left of home plate. Good view of the field.
You will need to use the buddy system here as they only let you buy tickets in pairs, so find a friend and reblog this when you buy your tickets so we know who is coming. I am already in + 1.

Summer Volleyball

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:26:27 -0400

Hello friends,

The time has come, and although it usually means we get to hit the beach, Spike League is bringing beach volleyball to the grassy fields of Sinatra Park! The park is located four blocks from the PATH train stop in Hoboken, right on the river. So you get a clear view of the Manhattan skyline as you Greg Focker some unfortunate fool in the face.

I’ll be playing in some capacity, either with my Spring team, or as some sort of free agent. Jay might return to the fold too. Perhaps we can get something going. It’s 4 person teams, co-ed. Details at http://www.spikeleaguenj.com/

Jeff and Streeter

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:26:08 -0400

From Rubin:

Tomorrow night, Streeter and myself return to the Rejection Show. We’ll be talking about the approval proccess at CollegeHumor and showing the stuff that was too ridiculous to make the site. This is our third or fourth Rejection Show, so we are now experts in the art of shocking an audience with dick pictures.
You can buy tickets here, and they’re only $10 if you use discount code JFRS. There’s a zero item minimum, so you only have to booze if you want to find us funny.

I might go.

WHAT IS YOUR TUMBLR NAME?!??!??

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:53:07 -0400

This was a question of significance at the bar last night, where people gave you confused looks when you mentioned your real name, then skeetered off in disappointment when they found out that you were fat manatee. Thankfully, the old standby’s of liquor and a seat at the bar were always available, so I had an enjoyable time out of asking that bartender how she managed to fit herself in that cellophane outfit of hers.

But let’s say you met some random new people. If you’re Julia Allison, surely you want to find out who those creepy guys taking pictures behind you were (100% guilty). Or perhaps you found yourself a new tumblcrush. Swoon! You can reblog this or (even better) post within the comment system at nycmeetups.tumblr.com. Then everyone can follow everyone.

Your tumblr weekend update

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:00:20 -0400

Bored, tumblrs? Celebrate the internet! It exists, and it hosts drinking events!

Tonight, the fellows at Rocketboom are cohosting a party with blip.tv at Savalas in Williamsburg. Starts at 9 pm and runs until sometime after 9 pm. Check this post for info and facebook link.

Tomorrow… Sunday! Two big events destined to wreck your stomach’s ability to do its job. First, some tumblrs are going to the big BBQ in Madison Square Park. They will be meeting at Dewey’s Flatiron at 1:30 and then heading over. Bonus: tumblrs will be holding a big slab of meat in their hands! Details.

Then, at 8 pm, if that wasn’t enough, some guys named David and Marco are hosting a party. WHATEVER. It’s happening at some place called M1-5, which may or may not be a secret government facility. I hope I can find it via google maps. Deets.

Monday, we will all have a case of the Moooondays. Booooooo.
