I dont know where to put this, but...
I'll refrain from making any political commentary about the state of the hospitality and restaurant/bar biz in NYC, and just say f*** Covid.

I don't live in NY but when I flew in for the Snake game I made it a point to go to Offside Tavern the night before.. The place was pretty full, but my family were the only ones wearing NYI stuff so I thought they definitely had a client base beyond just our fans.. The owner was EXTREMELY gracious to us... he'll go down in Islanders lore for planting our flag in Rags territory...
It really f***ing pisses me off that Offside Tavern has had to close. All of these stupid rules and regulations made from folks who have NEVER had to go sleepless over whether or not they will have enough money to stay open is absolute f***ing bullshit. I have had to rewrite this post about 5 times because it would have gotten deleted any other way.
I hope they can get something going at Belmont down the road. Gotta think that will happen. Until then you gotta feel for everyone that worked there. Forced to close for months and when they are allowed to open it was not enough to keep them afloat during the playoff season. Better in the long run for them to get the f*** out of the city anyway and in Belmont.
this COVID shit makes me want to rip my hair out; I was tired of it in May, and it’s just gone on too long. I greatly fear that masks are going to become the norm, and people will continue to wear them once shitvid-19 passes. This obsession with trying to prolong life, trying to control death—something completely out of ones hands 99% of the time—is going to make people continue with social distancing and masks in public, well into 2021.
I think to myself “we have several infectious diseases, that have been around since time immemorial, and we’ve never gone this far to protect ourselves. I remember being a kid, and parents *wanted* their kids to get chickenpox so they’d be immune to it in the future. This feels like mass hysteria. Our immune systems are designed to protect us from pathogens, but our immune systems are becoming lazy because they don’t have as many germs to fight against—it’s not getting the practice it needs! The incessant sanitizing, and masks, and social distancing, is only making our immune systems weaker. f***, I can’t take this shit anymore”
There’s a part of me that feels like this is some sort of conspiracy, but I can’t tell what side is responsible for it. Are dems doing it to make Trump look bad, or is it reps doing it so Trump can capitalize on the chaos? I know that’s probably not the case, but there’s something about the whole thing that feels contrived. Case in point:
“Tom Seaver died from complications of Lewy body dementia.........and COVID 19” it’s like they just added that in as an afterthought.
It’s a damn shame that bar had to close shop because of this. You see this fear magnified by people who are well-off; I manage a portfolio of 20 Hamptons rental houses, and some of the tenants were going to absurd measures. I go to fix a dishwasher at one of the houses; I wear a mask, gloves, but the woman staying at the house asked me if I had those stupid booties you put on your feet. I tell her I don’t, she asks me to take off my boots, and I comply. I had to get some tools from the car, and I find that this maniac put my god-damn boots outside! As though they’re covered with a radioactive substance for f*** sake! It’s borderline insulting honestly; these people come from ground-zero of this “pandemic”, and I should be more fearful of them!
I have a family in one of the houses, and they don’t want *anyone* coming to the house, and they don’t want anyone being within 20feet of them. It infuriates me
I just want this logo on a hat, is that too much to ask?!
The blue ones were at the team store at NVMC. So hard to find that logo solo. Fanatics has (had?) some shirts last summer with it - shame, hopefully with the Belmont move they place more emphasis on it to reach a broader appeal/market.I just want this logo on a hat, is that too much to ask?!
I have a handful of them, but I got them a couple years ago. Black even.

Do you like the Brooklyn NY better than this one? I think this is a slight improvement.
