Nope I got lucky but it was pretty easy to get close.

The big question - sargassum looks good? Although I see the barrow at the ready.

 

Actually it was very good. It’s not as clear here than it is in the USVI but they put seaweed nets around to close off Krazy Lobster beach. They also had a guy in the water scooping up sargassum so I was impressed with how hard they worked to keep the area clean.

I think White Castle is one of those things you have to grow up with to appreciate. However, I didn’t so I don’t. As a teenager, some of my Bronx-born friends would always tell how much they missed White Castle when their families moved up to Rockland Co. and once they got their drivers licenses, would take the 1-hour one-way trip back to the Bronx just to get White Castle.  Eventually, one did open in my home county and I was very much looking forward to trying it. The lines were crazy long and I eagerly waited to get a “sack of sliders”. I love hamburgers & could eat one every day. But what I got instead was a bunch of slimy onions on a greasy roll with nary a hint of hamburger meat.

 

I’ll take Sorrento’s pizza over White Castle any day of the week.

Hmm really not bad if he has to go out looking for it! 
 

I have been to the Malecon in Mahahual  (and Maya Chan) when it has been deep. The nets at Krazy Lobster and baffles really seem to be helping when it isn’t too bad.
 

We will be back soon hopefully it stays that way!

I wish there was one in my area

My BIL drove me by WC in Orlando 2 weeks ago.  The lines were long when they first opened.

[Mrs. H.]

This is an old pic of WC in my neighborhood.  Oh, and one when John Travolta was in there while filming that little movie of his back in the mid 70's in Bay Ridge.

Glad to hear Toby is feeling better today.   I plan on getting my 2nd covid booster in October.    Then get my flu shot middle of November.    I don't want to get together even though they say it is okay.  I prefer to wait 2 +/- weeks in between them.  

I know people who take both on the same day but I always wait at least several weeks.

In the late 90’s I used to go to that area on business every Friday.

Do you have a WaWa in your area ? I used to go to one in NJ for coffee.

My bff lived in the house right smack next door to it on 7th Av.

There is no comparison,one is pizza and the other is burgers.

For me it was because it was the only place of its kind for many years.I think there was one near the Fortway Theater .

Yes, we have several Wawa's in our area.    Their parking lots are always chaotic.    They do have good coffee and occasionally we will grab a hoagie (not the best but they are good).

I don't think so.  I lived on 10th and 72nd and shopped at the supermarket by the Fortway.

How about this for a long time ago? lol
