Hi everyone just landed in NYC after a 16 hour flight from Auckland NZ I’m in NYC for 10 days sorry will miss the meetup on the 22nd with my travel plans made last year. Next stop Chicago and then onto San Francisco and a stop in the Honolulu sun before heading home near the end of the month. Watch shopping has started picked up a Longines Hydroconqust chrono 41mm a good all round tool watch.

Hey man, you definitely gotta eat a street vendor giro. I know that sounds super sketchy, but hear me out. You will find 4 types of dining outlets in NYC:

Some of my favourite things in life Food and Watches. Going to be a great trip. Thanks man ✈️
Make sure you go to Tourneau on 57th & Madison. I lived there for many years and the best part is the availability, you can pretty much get what you want anytime.

My favorite player

My son on the Season Opener. We all have Payton Jerseys LOL
Of course he's a watch fanatic too!

Muhahaha !! 😂 dude enjoy your vacation!! And if you want real variety of food head over to Queens!! 🥳 and don’t mind those hipsters in Brooklyn mauahahaha!!!
Pizza in NYC is pizza. Don't leave without a slice. Pizza in Chicago is lasagna (or something like it).
I haven't lived in NYC since there was an Automat in mid-town.

Welcome to NY, you just missed the week of dreary rain 😂 I feel Juliana's vs. Grimaldi's is the coal oven pizza ver of Rolex vs. Omega.
I posted my take on watch shopping in New York, for what it's worth. The city is ground zero for watches in North America, so the world is your oyster.

I'm afraid I'll have to beg to differ. There is good street food to be had, but New York does not have a particularly notable street food scene. This ain't Portland. Or Asia. My experience of food from trucks is more utilitarian than notable. Those office workers aren't particularly discerning. Hot dogs and pretzels and chestnuts in winter are iconic, but I wouldn't come here to try them.
One quintessentially New York culinary experience, delis. Check out Katz's (and channel Billy Crystal or Meg Ryan) or the Second Avenue Deli (perversely on 33rd and 3rd; you can still see stars of the Yiddish theater in the sidewalk at 10th and 2nd where it used to be). Hot pastrami on rye with mustard. It's a mantra. You can't get more New York than that.
All night diners. They're a dying breed. They're a mixed bag, but if you come across one, they are quintessentially New York. Heck, they're art. They always have gyros, souvlaki, and Greek salad.
You haven't had a bagel if you haven't been to New York.
For the best Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, Congee Village. The best Chinese food is in Flushing.
That's all kind of random, but it's what came to mind when food was mentioned.
If you need any recommendations in SF feel free to reach out. Hope you have a great trip.
Thanks will do
Safe travels! Love the HydroConquest line, great pick 😎
Thanks been looking at one for a while so pulled the trigger on the chrono

Just caught the last two rainy days I’m used to a bit a changeable weather we can have 4 seasons in one day back home. Thanks having a great time

Great write up on the Watch shopping guide l got my Longines down at the Oculus World Trade Store. Also have had some great meals here already and will also try a bagel or two. Regards
Welcome to Jungle!! Baby!! 🥳😉
This guy just came out of the Trump Tower Jungle to meet KiwiSeiko
Nah, man! Forget the hot dogs! You gotta get a gyro!!! I remember the chicken gyros in midtown with a ton of onions and tahini sauce, along with some hot sauce, being out of this world good!
Enjoy it all & Especially the Windy City aka Chicago. I'm a Bears Fan for life... that takes some guts these days LOL

Hope you had fun at Soldiers Field! The Bears have not been great since '85 LOL but games are always fun. I hope you get to the Willis Tower Skydeck before you leave. It's right at Wacker and Adams Great views of the entire city 100 stories up

Yes had a great time first time to a live NFL game and have been to the Skydeck just before sun set great views. Lovely city you have here off tomorrow to San Francisco on the Amtrac
So much passion for gyro's in this thread, LOL. I don't know about NZ (although I've been there twice, I wasn't looking for Greek fast food so I remain dumb on the subject there), but in Australia we have a ton of Greeks and great gyro's are everywhere. Of course so are doner kebabs, which are like a close cousin of the gyro. I'd be surprised if our Kiwi mate here hasn't already had amazing gryo's in the past!
