cool man.

here's how to get there from Manhattan:

Take the brooklyn-bound L train from 14th st., to the Lorimer stop (which is the 2nd stop in brooklyn). Switch to the brooklyn-bound G train, and take that to the Myrtle/Willoughby stop. Come out the exit, up the stairs and when you get to the street, turn around and walk the opposite way down Myrtle until you hit Tompkins Ave. (1 block). Make a right on Tompkins and the house is on the next corner. 131. Above the corner store.

Did this fool seriously just use New York and cheap in the same sentence?
I would stay with Danielle, mane, come on, seriously get a picture first though, saving money is cool, but it may not be that cool.

I'm just playing Danielle, i'm sure your fine, plus if these dudes don't like ya, i got no standards, ya heard me playa.

I'll find out the name of the place were staying from my mate and post back when I hear from him. Be kind of cool if we were staying in the same place.

We're staying here apparently.

www.whitehousehotelofny.com

To be honest I don't know much about it as I booked the Florida part of the trip while my mate dealt with New York. He's been a few times and seems to think it's a good location as far as going out at night goes so I just took his word for it.


Let us know if you decide to go for it.

Two bars I like:

Cheap Shots on 9th St and 1st ave. It's on the east side of the street. It's cheap and if it's your birthday you drink for free. I think 2 bucks for draft beer and 3 for well. They have this thing called a truck bomb. a Pitcher of beer with a pint of Jameson instead it. That's 20.

Local 138. It get my 3 dollar Jim beam and Ginger. That's 138 Ludlow st.

The Hook isn't near a subway. So you have to take a bus or a cab to get there. It's a good venue but in the middle of industrial parks in Brooklyn where it's hardly accessible...

Hmmm, did some searching and found this, might give that place a skip. Terry, the place you're staying in is booked out. Might just say fuckitt and stay in one of the Jazz hostels, it's in the neighbourhood of $25 a night and i've not heard anything bad about them.

Cheers for the warning. I knew I should have dealt with this myself!! Gonna see if we can cancel the booking and go elsewhere I think!
