That's another validation that car modelers are cheapskates.

$17.50 and it's pretty hefty. This is NYC. Everything is expensive. Even free air at the gas station costs a quarter. Panhandlers accept credit credit cards, using swipers on their phones. That begs the question, how is a bum able to afford an iCrap device?

Compared to there (Europe in general), we really have it good.

Stage Door on Vesey Street? Boy, you sure get around!

Cool. Good luck. There are some great hospitals and medical centers around here like Mt.Sinai, Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Montefiore Medical Center, NYU Langone, New York-Presbyterian University Hospital and Hackensack University Medical Center, to name a few.

There's nothing like well made chopped liver. On a side note, I made homemade potato pancakes and grilled kielbasa for dinner earlier.

So, you two were the inspiration for "Bridget Loves Bernie".

Start packing: Arista Air Conditioning Corporation depending on your training, you might qualify as a journeyman (full scale tech) making $40/hr. And, it's a union job (Metal Trades Division of Pipefitters Local 638B). If you're serious, check it out.

Higher price doesn't necessarily mean that higher quality will be part of the equation. There are a lot of expensive dogs on the shelves.

And, The Wild One

Motorcycle-related; but, cool nonetheless

I was just about to post the same clip.

Rich, do you make pilgrimages back to the city?

I believe that I'm free to post a comment without any accompanying videos or photographs.

Junior's will serve it any way you want it, Mike. You're paying for it. Circo's also has giant chocolate covered strawberries and cannoli doughnuts. I stop in there fairly often and pick up stuff for the house. I used to frequent Fortunato Brothers Cafe & Pasticceria in Williamsburg. It's not the same as when the local wiseguys hung out. It's too dammed hipster-friendly now. I also love knishes. This is a real fast food. The best place for knishes is Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, on E. Houston Street in the Lower EasT Side, a couple blocks down from Katz's Delicatessen. They've been in business since 1890, and at the same location since 1910. In addition to what's listed on the menu page, they make specialty knishes like jalapeno, garlic and onion, potato and sauerkraut. The apple, cherry, blueberry and chocolate cheese knishes are out of this world. I'm also a big smoked fish fan. Acme Smoked Fish, the largest producer of smoked fish and herring in the country, is located in my neighborhood. They have a "Fish Friday" sale, open to the public and everything is available at wholesale. Herrings with wine sauce.........yeah, buddy! Pete, the secret to making a good New York cheesecake, or bagels and pizza dough, is the water. You can't use hard water. Guys from New York, who compete in pizza making contests around the country, actually bring their own supply of NYC tap water to make sure the dough tastes the same.

The Life of Riley was a radio and television show, one of my favorites. Your thread title should also include TV shows.

Junior's Restaurant (literally down the block from me) in Downtown Brooklyn has been making pastrami swiss burgers since 1929. I love this place. They even have large stainless steel bowls full of garlic dill pickles at every booth. Junior's also makes the world's best cheesecakes although, Eileen's, at Cleveland Place in Lower Manhattan, is better, in my opinion. Circo's Pastry Shop is an old school Italian pastisseria. It opened in 1945 and is the last remaining Italian pastry shop in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. This place is better than any found in Little Italy. Their cannolis are definitely the best, bar none.

Licensing rights have been a part of the model kit industry since the the 1940's. All of the model companies had to pay licencing fees to the trademark and intellectual property owners. In the U.S., the actual 1:1 cars, airplanes, etc., as actual industrial objects, are ineligible for copyright protection. However, under 17 U.S.C. 101, models as pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works; so, royalties must be paid to the originator of the design. Confusing? Yup.

Those are pickles, sliced lengthwise.

Make a deathbed confession in the presence of a priest and you'll be absolved.

Instead of forking over fifty bucks for the Ross Gibson engine, you might consider Revell 85-7603, the "69 Dodge Dart GTS as a donor which comes with a nice 383.

It does tend to validate the assertion that car modelers are cheap.
