Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 2 minutes ago, Satans Hockey said: The rest stop prices are essentially arena prices, it's been that way for years now too I believe. It's because of the "convenience" Yeah for sure, I still like Roy Rogers on occasion (especially their fried chicken), and the last time I bought some at a rest stop...yeah, knew it would be pricey, but it was still absurdly expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDew Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I long for the days of the Original White Manna in Jersey City. Now those were sliders, cheap and they brought them to the car. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a regular place for me and those who liked street racing. The one in Hackensack is not related to the JCY one. Up the hill is Mosquito Park aka Monuments Park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food looks good but it looks like such tiny seating that I have no desire to be crammed in next to people to eat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 That reminds me of All American - it's on Long Island, not NJ, but it's an old diner that's a burger/joint just like that. Pretty sure it's also been on Triple D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super packed with onions and I will admit to having them mostly when we had already gotten smashed at that point. That said I haven't eaten at burgerking/mcDs in years, the food is just disgusting at this point from cost cuts. I would rather order a burger togo from a local pub and get 10x the quality and support a local owner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out to eat is one of the things I really only do on vacation since I like cooking and it's an easy thing to save money on, especially since I already spend enough on tickets for events. It balances out well lol I'm with you on the fast food, the only one I really really love is in-n-out burger and that you can only get in a few states anyway. Wendy's has been more tradition of when the Red Bulls get knocked out of a tournament or the Devils miss the playoffs I go and get a ton of stuff to make up for the misery, but that's only a 3-4 times a year anyway lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Ugh sh!tty news. Unfortunately not surprising since we knew he was sick and he didn't look well on this current season of Curb. Always found him to be very funny, especially on Curb. It makes that will storyline on this current season a lot more on the nose but that was probably his idea knowing his humor. RIP...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 23 minutes ago, Satans Hockey said: I've never heard it called that before but woof that's definitely grim Yeah, I came up with that term maybe 10 years or so ago. Basically you grow up used to seeing the same people on TV, or in your everyday world…and you almost assume that they’re all going to be around forever (even though of course you know that’s not the case). Then as they start to pass away, it just hits more and more how the people you grew up knowing and seeing are passing through, just like you, just like me. Now that I’m 53 obviously those “reminders” are coming ever more fast and furious. I’ve been to way too many of my friends’ parents’ funerals over the past decade than I’d like to admit. My parents are young for someone my age (they’re 74), so I haven’t had to go through that yet. But I’ve seen friends struggle mightily with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Went to the new Ringling brothers circus tour at Prudential last night. It's more of a Cirque du Soleli but more fun instead of artistic type show now. The acts they have are incredible though. The people on the flying trapeze were going essentially the same height as where the top of scoreboard normally hangs. Lots of incredible athletes doing stuff I can't even imagine, another guy rode around on a 34 foot unicycle. People flipping on spring boards high into the air on to a chair that's probably 25 feet in the air. One thing I didn't understand was why they had the guys who were clearly supposed to be the clowns but they weren't dressed like clowns. Just weird to me to have a circus and no real clowns especially with Ringling brothers history of having clowns. The whole animal thing is what it is, I get why they don't have them anymore but it really does make the whole thing just feel like another Cirque type show and that's fine but can we please not have this abomination of a black mirror dog used instead? Overall I still highly recommend going if you are into this type of stuff and don't spend a lot on tickets.
