President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A couple of blocks from Lincoln Center too I believe.

 

From how that blurb was worded - the money wasn't used to retain jobs - I kind of assume the $2.1M loan was granted and maybe went to paying the rent they owed at the hotel, and probably vendors. It also strikes me as kind of chump change cronyism, but that's completely on brand for Trump and associates. It's more of your standard, low level grift to me, like how in local politics the guy that contributes to the mayor's campaign suddenly doesn't have as many issues with the zoning board.

 

There have always been luxury restaurants on Central Park South and West. And they go out of business regularly because the rent is too damn high and there are a surplus of Manhattan luxury restaurants for the even in Manhattan limited customer base of people who'll drop $500 on dinner for two.

 

Was the French onion any good?

 

If you're going to the opera in Lincoln Center - or the Philharmonic or the ABT or Alice Tully, etc., the place to eat is Gray's Papaya.

The Recession Special is 6.95 for two dogs and a medium papaya drink.

There's the rub. People interested enough in food to drop that kind of dough on dinner know enough about food to tell good from excellent from superlative and for that dough, they want superlative, as they should.

 

It’s been a while since I was by there, but wasn’t Jean-Georges in that hotel? Odd that they would have two French places there.

 

Try the veal. It's the best in the city.

 

Two things, one for each tweet here.

1. I cannot disagree with what Popehat says.
2. The ongoing incompetence of Sidney Powell is something that mental health professionals should check into … and legal professionals should review her past work.

 

What is the best way to get someone out of a cult? An intervention? Do we have to do 74 million interventions? Where’s Dr. Drew when you need him?
