SinceThe70s

@StarlessAndBibleBills @Pete You guys bring back memories! I only dipped my toe into the deeper end of metal (like the bands listed above). But it reminded me of a band/album in that vein that I liked:

Thanks, I'll keep Umberto's in mind. Mannino's is a place we've gone to for special occasions and never been disappointed - except when we get the bill Sounds like we don't live too far apart. Have you ever been to Prato 850 (why did I think it was Prato 25)? Had my worst dining experience ever a few years ago and won't go back. Always wondered whether it was just the wrong night as they were clearly short-handed.

I don't go out to eat all that often, but Mannino's is a favorite!

You'll be due north of me, I'm in East Northport - the town with no sense of direction! I'm not a foodie but a few thoughts: Northport is a great harbor town, check it out even if what brings you here doesn't take you to Main St. There are plenty of restaurants on Main St. but some are cash only. From a foodie perspective my understanding is that https://maronicuisine.com/ is the place to be but they don't open until 4PM and probably not a drop-in place. Feed and Grain is a good option for outdoor seating https://www.thefeedandgrain.com/ Not on Main St but well regarded is Robke's. https://robkesofnorthport.com/ . Cash only. The place is tiny. Constantly posting pix on facebook with sports figures eating there. Another option is Huntington which is a town or two to the west of Northport and has tons of restaurants (that afaik all take credit cards). I really like Besito https://www.besitomexican.com/huntingtonny And of course since you'll be on Long Island stop at a local bagel shop and buy a dozen. Fun fact: although bagels go stale really quick they can be revived by a microwave (or frozen) Hope this helps, safe travels.

Damn! Hope it didn't hit your ride.

Came across this blast from the past at the checkout line. Have they been making these all along?

I have to admit that I'm out of touch and there weren't too many bands that I cared about and far more that I had never even heard of. But Wetleg caught my eye - cuz I learned of them a few years back in the Share Music thread - and so I watched their set last night. Loved it. Cracked open their latest studio album on my way home from work. They are much better live than studio. Trying to think of another band I'd say the same about. Maybe Govt Mule or Umphreys McGee. Regardless, it's a compliment imo.

The poll is missing the obvious choice: None of the above.

Agreed on the Beltran number retirement. Last year the Mets roped me into being an Amazing Adviser. Basically they ask me my opinion on different topics once a month or so. Just last week they asked me who should be next and my answer was nobody. This year they're putting Lee Mazzilli in their Hall of Fame. Nothing against him - but as I recall his crowning moments as a Met were two big PH singles in the WS (or maybe payoffs) in 1986 and his All Star game opposite field HR. I think it's kind of embarrassing to put him in their HOF.

Kenny from South Park.

On the opposite side I always had doubts about Lloyd Cushenberry III. I also wonder whether there will be a IV.

Back to the 80's. On the softer side.

In case you didn't already know it was a reference to an on-air apology from former Reds announcer Thom Brennaman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_drive_into_deep_left_field_by_Castellanos

Could have been from Live Bullet. Maybe Get Out Of Denver? That got some radio play back in the day.

Fantastic player. RIP.
