    Listen, I do not want to say that Chicago pizza is sh!t, but Chicago Pizza IS Sh!t.... I am just saying.....

    I'll keep that in mind for next visit. The funny thing is, with all the 'great' eating places they say are in New York, I don't remember a whole lot about the food the couple times I went. I remember a BBQ place on the first night, I remember a corner sub shop and taking the food across the street to eat in Central Park, and I remember a place near the hotel that, for the prices and dress code, had really, really subpar food and service.

    Lee Goldberg on Eyewitness News weather just predicted wind gusts up to 30 mph for Friday morning. He said this could cause another delay for our shuttle. This is frustrating!

    It's not ****, I've had both several times. Depends WHERE in Chicago you eat it, just like it does here. In fact pizza in Manhattan is all **** now (all the places I'VE tried anyway), you need to go to Brooklyn or Long Island to get good pizza in NY now.

    NYC has the average % of crappy & sub-par places... but when you multiply that % by the massive number of eateries, it means there are A LOT of crappy places you can try. You are especially more likely to get crap when you're eating in the vicinity of an attraction, the good places aren't usually super-close to the touristy sites, but a couple blocks away.

    1st.. I will take the day off and we can start by going to the Intreped, I hear that they are going to have a shuttle soon and it may be neat to take you to see it.
    2nd, we will go to the Cradle of aviaion and I will show you a Concorde Model that is in storage, we will ponder over the Spirit of Saint Louis pondering if it was a real aircraft of merely a backup but not really official since it never really made the flight but still carries the Title Spirit of Saint Louis....
    3rd, we will look at the Mockup of the X-29 and discuss how it was not a real airplane but is full scale unlike the Concorde Model.
    4th, We will to Republic Airport where Phil D, John K, John M, Kenny and the other Kenny, Mario, Eric, Manny and I will be more than happy to give you a hug.

    We like to share our beloved collection with others and I promise that the forum guys will be more than happy to show your our Space Shuttle that never went into orbit and could have been modified but never was so it is all just an irrelevant bunch of crap anyway. So come and enjoy our Orbiter, or Shuttle or Flying Brick..... we would love to have you -Cheers -Fred
    don't forget the hall of science where they have a Titan II, an Atlas D, a Mercury replica capsule, and the first stage and engine from a Saturn V.

    I'm guessing they don't want to do it on the weekend because all employees involved might need to be paid overtime in that situation. This is already quite expensive for them.

    After beating my brains for the last 48 hours...

    1) At this point, I kind of hope they push it back to next week sometime.
    2) Thinking I may try to do the same thing Chris, Fred, & I did for Red Bull. Head over to Ellis Island & get her flying up & down the Hudson with the city in the background. I just have a feeling it's going to be a madhouse around the airport & think the cops/security are going to be less than understanding...
    EVERYONE IS THERE TO SEE THE SHERPA!

    I'm looking at a nice spot the south end of Battery Park City. Great view of the Harbor and Statue and the Hudson corridor. Also quick access to subway and uptown to work, a little late. LOL!!
