Neir’s Tavern from Goodfellas
End up having to go to Harlem, the Bronx, and then immediately out to Brooklyn for work last week. That’s bad enough on a regular day and worse with a bum knee.
Everything took twice as long.
Actually ended up crossing the border between Brooklyn and Queens – which means I hit every borough except Staten Island that day – and found myself in front of Neil’s Tavern, which is where some pivotal scenes of Goodfellas were shot.
It was in the middle of the work day and I had another client meeting so I couldn’t stop by for a drink. But I told myself I’d come back.
Over the weekend, my cousin crashed on my couch to prepare for the Triathlon, which is in the UWS so she got to see my insomnia on display at 4AM.
Her: You’re awake?
Me: I’m always awake.
After she finished up, we went out for some Cuban-Chinese food in the hood and then I got back to work.
I’ve got some other interesting news to tell you about but I’ll tell you after it’s settled down some.
Him: Remind me, what’s Neir’s? Did we use to sell crack rock out of that place?
Me: First of all, you *know* we sold crack rock out of Neir’s because you said, “Logan, let’s sell crack rock out of Neir’s.” And I said, “You just need the word ‘crack,’ as the word ‘rock’ is superfluous in that sentence.” Secondly, it’s also where Henry finds out Nicky is gonna be made. Although that didn’t turn out how they expected.
Just realized that today’s John Venn‘s birthday, the guy that made Venn Diagrams and large influence on how I see the world.
Location: hobbling to the gym
Mood: still hobble-y
Music: you, you can be mean And I, I’ll drink all the time
