> I was looking to be in NYC before 3 pm on a Saturday and leave around 11am to 2 pm on the following Monday and there was nothing reasonable. Maybe a Saturday-Monday is harder to find than Friday to Sunday?

I checked second weekend in April for those days/times (since we are talking about ordering in advance), to-from are about $38 on average each.

Closer to the date could be $50+, and you might not be that flexible on time.

I've never seen them that low to NYC, but it's a rule of thumb: if you can plan in advance, you can get best seats for the best prices (or super low). That's how I travel Acela business class, if I know that NYC trip is coming up in a couple of months or so.

I had to travel to NYC recently on a shorter notice (4-5 days or so), depending on time of day those tickets were very affordable as well (I think I paid under $100 total) - just have to leave early/come back later.

Drinks at both bars are reasonably priced.

Dinner wasn’t outrageous, but my data is from before the pandemic.

It's very good, yes.

Valid points. A few personal perspectives:

> have minimum balance requirements you have to meet in order to not pay a monthly fee

No problem there, didn't have to do it for a number of years.

> you get effectively no interest on your savings account

That's ass for sure; do other places offer much more?

> you have to pay for non-BoA ATM withdrawals,

Yeah, it's a pain, but I feel that $5 sting may be every 3 months or so at most.

> and you even have to pay for things like checks.

I don't actually use those. Their fee for cashier's check is beyond ridiculous: last time I had to get one it was $15 (up from $10, and they stopped doing money orders awhile ago), but those are very few and far between.

Savings account is probably the only thing I'd consider elsewhere (and should by the sound of it).

EDIT: holy shit, I was wasting money at BoA; Capital One savings it (likely) is. Thanks for heads up, fam! Your next PBR is on me*

*once that interest comes in.

> They’re legit so much better.

Can you define "so much better"?

I don't pay any fees at BoA except aforementioned ATM withdrawals here and there (very rarely, too, as I come prepared for "cash only" nights, as BoA ATMs are everywhere, one is within short walking distance from me), and they always take my cash.

I got my credit card through Capital One, they are alright.

I am doing some money stuff here and there that grants talking to a teller and sometimes depositing cash in person, so I need that brick and mortar option.

I think PNC has done that as well.

This is the only fee I have to pay them, though (i.e., no monthly or other maintenance ones).

> I get atm fees reimbursed at the end of the month.

Who do you bank with?

I am with Bank of America, and it's usually an ATM fee and then another transaction fee from the bank.

Mawn jawn!

But how many can you name from the top of your head in a pinch?

Jawn Morgan, I Hate Steven Singer... it works!

But this subreddit keeps posting about him every two weeks or so, and I don’t know any other ambulance chasers.

Welp…

The reason this guy is at the top of the list of the ambulance chasers I’d call? Constant posts about his ads on this subreddit.

His ad campaign is beyond successful; thank you for ensuring that time and time again 😘

"Hoagie" as in "hoagie mouth".

Where in fuck did he dream up a proper hoagie that costs $5 anywhere in the city? It costs over $5 to make one at home (unless one is in coprophilia).

Monde has some for around $7-8, and I think they are the cheapest for quality/quantity I've seen in awhile (Old Nelson's is legit as well, but they punch above $9 these days, IIRC).

You know what - yeah, I'ma save my energy for someone on my level (I was outta pearls for awhile by now anyway).

I know that about 54% of adults in this great country have their literacy below sixth-grade level, but I implore you to re-read my original comment (and re-re-re-re-re-re-read if you need to, take your time).

(The English is only my fourth or so language, but I don't think the way I put it would make it complicated to connect the dots or to understand what I was saying).

Uranus?

George, that you?

Are you GenZ or just new around here? I am talking about the park across the street from it on the south side of Walnut, which is not there any longer from, like, 15-16 years back (take a trip down the memory lane on Google Street View).

I remember when they were building the whole place years ago when I was going to the 40th Street to watch movies in a movie theatre. The whole "architecture" is a vomit into the face of the immediate area, and that "bar" sounds like a proper fit for what the whole thing is (I actually walked by it numerous times and didn't even realize it was a watering hole).

My verdict: nothing of value was lost.

I always ask upfront, fuck their sneaky tactics.

I am not cheap, but I like money.

Yikes.

Rogue never did strike me as a go-to cocktail place, and that price sounds like a rip off.

EDIT: $15, $18 max for something fancy/top shelf would be my budget there.

I liked what I saw on their menu, plus I don't think I've ever done more than two at a time at that price range (and I am used to paying that much for a good drink with proper ambiance).

EDIT: no way in hell I am paying $6 for a water, though.

> it’s great to go there before it gets too crowded with a toddler

If you are not taking up spots at the bar for your kid(s) - I don't see a problem.
