117 - YES West likes art. STFU he's still manly

[major_west]

I'm really looking forward to this port. Earth, normal Earth, and nearly a decade into the future, at that. I'd been on holiday to New York once before, but it'll be nice to see it again, on an Earth that presumably didn't end in 2001. Of course, I'm still holding out hope that one day, perhaps, we'll be able to stop in England.

Would anybody be up for visiting the Guggenheim while we're there? I'm looking at you right now, Billy. Do me this favour, and I'll visit that absurdly large comic book shop with you.

I could do with some restaurant recommendations, should anybody have them.

[OOC: Fun fact: West is pre-9/11 (going by some trivia about the shooting dates of the movie blahblah), so... somebody should tell him about it before he goes up to some New Yorker all "Hello, where are those infamously large towers? c:" SOMEBODY NAMED BILLY]

have Adam tell you.

Ah, West...out of curiosity, when in 2001 did your zombie apocalypse happen?

Per Se has impossibly good food and great service. Just dress nicely and prepare to pay upwards of $125 per person. I assume that won't be a problem with the credit cards, so why not go all-out?

The Guggenheim sounds lovely. Is it part of the date, or a group thing?

Don't ask me how I know this, but look for the London when you get into town. I never been myself -- visited New York once after the towers went down. But it's run by that one English guy that's always on TV yelling at people in the kitchen.

I dunno if he was before or after your time.

If you like steak, I know of one place I went to on a high school trip. It kind of seems like the level of classy that you'd appreciate. I don't know.

It's called Frankie and Johnnie's (http://www.frankieandjohnnies.com/steakhouses/frankieandjohnnies.html). They have a bunch of experienced, elderly men in suits serving amazing food. It's pretty cool. Sometimes they have a soft, live musician play jazz tunes, or the blues.

I'm sure it'll be quite packed because of the holiday, but you might want to take him to the Jekyll and Hyde Club. It's a fun place, with actors and they have a laboratory room as well. I went with some mates from work, and everyone there had a good time.

Watch out for horrible accents, though. Tend to grate a bit on actual and proper British ears. For some reason, everyone in a horror movie's always British.

And enjoy the Guggenheim. I rather liked the MoMA as well.

Adam is faster than your boyfriend :c Billy would have forgotten to mention it anyway.

Can we go to the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, as well?
