I love the food but it is Ray that keeps me there.
And you people really are jerks.
Ciao.

When I went by there was a guy filling some container at the sushi bar and one Asian woman eating a salad. That was it.
I used to like "The Quiet Man" and was sad when that closed years ago and I liked "Hamburger Harry's" knew a lot of folks there who I've never seen since.
Sh*t happens. My friend Max opened up a restaurant near the World Trade Center five months before 9/11 and it was totaled.

"I don't care if AVENUE Q closes."

You don't love Q anymore!?

I loved Hamburger Harrys too. And I miss Rusty's as well.

[Corine2]

Posted: 11/12/07 at 9:52pm

I AM IN A BAD MOOD.
BACK OFF.
I was late Wexy. I got there at 5:10. Sorry.
And Sweet Q. I love Avenue Q but if it closed I would not care.
If FB Closed I would be very upset.

I love this thread.

Carry on!

If Corine's Corner closed no one would would be upset. No one would care, either.

Corine must have SERIOUSLY pissed some of you off at some point.

This is . . . the same as it's always been - for whatever reason.

Sammy would. He'd be out of a job...

Gee, November 15th is Thursday. From thence Raku will be gone. History.

I wish I could say it would be a pleasant memory, but after encountering the sleeping waiter, I can only say that I'm glad to see it go.

Did anyone carry on like this when the Automat closed?

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/12/07 at 11:04pm

Kinda, yeah, people did.

And I would be upset if Corine's Corner closed. I love hearing about the highlights from people who visit the site.

It is true that things like restaurants come and go. That's the sad fact of the bitch of life.

Thanks for pointing out, once again DG, that not everyone is as holy as you. You keep us in our place and for that you get a CoCoRo for only $2.95 PLUS a free glass of wine!

[DG]

Posted: 11/12/07 at 11:52pm

I didn't mention anything but the obvious, Sueleen - from the posts, it's pretty clear that SOMETHING exists between the vocal few. And it happens with such repetition, that it must have been pretty impacting - although, not for those who haven't a clue as to the history.

And as you (and others) very recently made clear, I'm FAR from holy here.

The 15th can come soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.

As you must know by now Saint Deej, unreliable is the middle name of "this form of communication."

[DG]

Posted: 11/13/07 at 12:35am

Saint Deej - interesting ring to it. Wholly unconvincing, but an interesting ring, nonetheless.

And I STILL maintain my reticence in 'this form of communication', as recent history makes only too clear.

Sueleen (and others, I'm sure) thinks I'm an idiot, and I think he's a complete Prick. And yet, I know I'm not an idiot - and I'm relatively certain from all reports that Sueleen doesn't see himself as a complete Prick.

In the end, so what? People can grab onto whatever soundbites of mine they want. I wrote them, so it would be pretty ridiculous to try and back away from them. I just keep moving forward.

But what strikes me is that some here like to drag all the accumulated SH*T along with them - especially you . . . what's the newest moniker - Namonster?

I may be the only one that gets bored reading the same attacks by the same people toward the same targets - over and over and over. But that's just fine with me. Y'all will obviously keep on attacking, and I'll keep on commenting. Years of the same thing prove that we're not going to change.

Cheers!

No, it's Namomonster. I'm beginning to think it's you who might be particularly bad at this type of communication.

[DG]

Posted: 11/13/07 at 12:53am

Oh, Namo - I have no DOUBT I'm bad at this! Have been from the beginning.

But I also seem to not pay as much attention as some. Despite your protestations of only 'skimming', you are remarkably able to call up stuff that I never even noticed, much less remembered.

And really, the value here for me has been to make connections OFF the board, which apparently is something you have never had an interest in. I'll keep the friendships I've made here - and keep them viable off the board, where they belong - and you can have your dominion here.

I just reserve the right to be Saint Deej should the spirit move me. And as always, you or anyone else can flay me to your heart's content.

Oh dear GOD, DG, you are going right over the edge with Corine. How appropriate that you would chose this thread to do it.

It seems that you expect everyone on this board to be as compassionate and as tolerant as yourself on every single subject and person. Well, we all can't be the Blessed Virgin Mother. You need to lighten up and let it go or you will become even MORE sanctimonious than you already are, if that is even possible.

And for someone who says they don't pay much attention you sure are quick to judge. Perhaps you should not comment on things that you don't pay attention to. No, you do NOT know everything about everyone here, but god knows we all know an awful lot about you. I hope you don't have to change your name again.

Now can we get back to praying for Mr. Raku and his CoCoRo?

This thread is pure platinum inlay.


By the way, the New World Grill also closed its doors after fourteen years, the owners said they were being "kicked out" of Worldwide Plaza. Man, I'm gonna miss those steak sandwiches.

This will be the last time I post on BWW.
Ciao.
PS Corine's Corner is getting over 200,000 hits a month so a lot of people would care if it closed. You can read what I have to say on my site. I am sick of this abuse.
Anyone who cares about my site can read what I have to say on my daily blog.

And DG: The small crowd here who hate me are just jealous of me. I don't really care what they think. Updated On: 11/13/07 at 09:41 AM
