Oh, and coming back from being down 5-0 against one of the greatest pitchers (Verlander) was also satisfying. The question is why a definite first ballot HOF pitcher cannot pitch well in World Series games.It could be psychological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another cool bar Is Sardi’s on the second floor . Peking duck house in Chinatown is also really nice used to see mayor Koch there many times. 9/11 museum is a must . Another interesting place in Ellen’s stardust diner which is a block from Gallagher’s and it’s staff is out of work singers who sing and dance on tables . So many restaurants and things to do . Trinity church a few blocks from 9/11 museum has a cemetery with some famous people from the revolution including Alexander Hamilton. Peking Duck House served great Fried Ice Cream when I often dined there in the 80’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where I saw my 1st Rock Concert, Jefferson Airplane. Great memories. My first concert was Bob Dylan in 1961. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was the small sample time. Also what you watch and how you set it up for what you are watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least once a year, I research going only with streaming services and it seems Comcast has it priced so that the Internet-only package would be $30 less than my current cable TV package. So I end up keeping it for sports, local news and watching AMC and occasional TBS shows. I have NetFlix, Prime and just acquired HBO Max, all of which account for 80% of my TV watching. We have Netflix,Prime ,HBO Max and I very rarely watch regular TV-only for sports,reality shows and News. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to budget plenty of time as the staff will spend just as much time singing and dancing as they do serving food. But it's to be experienced. Ellen’s Stardust Diner is in our list for lunch.

Looking to buy a 85 inch Samsung Tv for our remodel, feel we need a bigger set since we will probably be watching some now from the New Island while eating. Anyone have one of those new mini- led sets, suppose to be nice and bright. Feel our opened up new room will be plenty bright during the day and this kind of set would be great for the area. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-85-class-qn90b-neo-qled-4k-smart-tizen-tv/6500631.p?skuId=6500631 I use a C-pap and you are correct you get a much better nights sleep with it. My Wife appreciates it too since there is no snoring when using the C-pap.

BonTexasNY Posted October 29, 2022 #76035 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Not sure this is the place to ask but I'll give it a shot. When I book showtimes, check in times, etc., do I book everything on my RCI app for both Jack and myself? Our Feb. cruise is the first time we have to use the app to book "stuff". Can you book shows (ice, nightclub) before boarding or is this only on Oasis class? This is the place I know I'll get good advice/answers.

Wait for lunch shouldn’t be that bad, but if you want some excellent Italian food at a reasonable price do Becco’s on 46st between 8 and 9th they have a great all you can eat pasta special with 3 different kinds of pasta and a reasonable wine list , we normally go there twice on each visit to New York, this is located on restaurant row which has over a dozen different restaurants and clubs. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Royal double points promotion. Gold to Diamond in 5 cruises. Congratulations. While the access to the lounge is nice, and free drinks are real nice, the big advantage to the higher level is access to the Concierge. Any problem , big or small, if it can be fixed, the concierge is the go to for a solution. The concierge is part of the guest services staff, so he/she can do most of the things the desk can do. Just ask. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my problem is I love what I do. I am in private practice (yes, the tail end of the old generation of physicians) and doing what I always wanted to do since I was, maybe, 10 years old. I have a practice that I started from scratch. And I don't know how I would give it up. Your patients will be heartbroken when you do retire. So hang on as long as you can do a great job for them, and you feel fulfilled by doing it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
