@Graham:

Sneaky sneak peek with guest appearance from the strange building with no windows.

AT&T or telephone building? Lower Manhattan? My father worked there if it is.

Will @Graham be coming out to NJ with you?

[Graham]

@ROman
That’s so crazy that he worked there what a small world! I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and ended up watching YouTube videos about the building.

@Jett129 i will be heading back on Friday I am afraid and absolutely gutted as Roger and Josefina are so so lovely I would love to see them again.

We had a great night with the Iron Shop Provisions crew and bumped into Andrew from Franklin and Poe. No pics I’m afraid as I had drinks in both hands 

[Jett129]

I had promised you a beer if you were ever in NYC,so I had hoped to bring you something on Saturday. I’m in NYC this afternoon,probably finished up having lunch with some friends around 2:30,just in case you’ve had some cancellations in your schedule. Do you like a good stout from time to time? Maybe I can give Alex something to bring back for you. @Graham

@Jett129 I am so sorry that we missed you yesterday, we were in meetings all afternoon yesterday but will definitely hold you to some stouts next time please!

Katz Deli for an early lunch and after a full day of showing our collection and meeting some lovely lovely people  we hit Ivan Ramen for some well-needed sustenance before winding down at PDT on St Marks Place, my favourite speakeasy located through a hidden wall in a phone booth inside a hot dog shop.

Pictures of Katz pastrami get me aroused. Dammit I want that sandwich.

Also PDT is rad but please tell me you've tried Crif Dogs! Fucking delicious!

I am really enjoying the b&w shots.  Side note: the price of the sandwich gave me sticker shock… ???

[goosehd]

…I don't think I've ever paid that much for a sandwich.  Is that normal for NYC?

[Alex]

New York has gone crazy for food prices, yeah. A side of fries in multiple restaurants we've been to this trip come in at $12 + taxes

[goosehd]

@Alex So that's for the sandwich alone and no sides…So If I wanted fries with the sandwich I'm looking at $40.00.

That's insane...

[Kasi]

New York is always expensive, because it’s NYC

Ironically,all the years I’ve lived in NYC,I’ve never been to Katz’s. The,now defunct,Carnegie Deli was always my favorite,and Katz’s always seemed too touristy.

[Kasi]

Sorry but can’t help it.
Look like them 7.5oz tees

Them t-shirts will be available in Gosport anytime soon

@Alex

Thanks

[Matt]

I’ve been to Carnegie.  I think those sandwiches were about $30 back then in the 90s.  I also think they were bigger.

Maybe there's a side of fake orgasm in the next booth included in the price as well?

[Jett129]

The sandwiches at The Carnegie were never that expensive back then,and they definitely were bigger. I’m sure they’d be that expensive if they were still around.

[Matt]

I probably got fries
