It’s weird ringo ! New York without the classic taxi ! Pfft what next !

Omg !

The last Checker Cab, a 1978 Checker Marathon 4-door sedan named :Janie" left NYC service on 7/26/199. So the Crown VIc was the heir apparent until Ford stopped producing the Lincoln Towne Car/Crown Vic platform.

Say Tesla Taxi three time fast! LOL!

BTW - I don't know if the show is still in production, but there use to be a show called "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel that would drive around NYC. You get in it, and the driver might turn on some LEDS, tell you were in the Cash Cab and offer you money for answering trivia questions on the way to your destination. Get three wrong answers before your destination and you are booted out of the cab. The cab was a specially equipped mini-van.

Rats ! 
Central Park has big rats with fury tails 

Ah 

good beers at the Irish pub in time square !!!

cheers 🍻

Ah,Ye Olde Eggs Benny- my fave brekky too. I remember taking a pic of the Twin Towers waaaay back. I see a pic of beer - very good but stop mucking about and go order another burger and take a pic!

I like how they call those monsters 'Suburbans.' The last place you'd try and wrestle one of those things around is in a suburb. Get it out on the highway and wind it up - surely it's natural habitat.

Those RATS don't usually chow down on automotive electrical.  They have much better ways of screwin with us.

Ok Pete … one bacon cheese burger coming up !! 
am at juniors in time square !!!

Wrongway ! Check out these onion rings!!!!!

[Frosty]

The only way to make that burger any more perfect is to put a fried egg and throw some of the onion rings on it.

 

Fitzy - it's kinda hard to believe that the Suburban is the oldest automotive model in all of North America. The first one was in 1935 called the Chevy Suburban Carry-All. There was a GMC Suburban version too until the late 1990s and then GM switched the name to the Yukon XL. Same vehicle essentially. The only time the Suburban was out of production was for WWII war production.

Also for three years - '55 to '57 - there was the GMC Suburban pickup truck. It was GMC's answer to the Chevy Cameo high end pickup truck.

If you get the chance brother, go by Roberta’s for a pizza! I know it sounds crazy to look for a pizza joint on a vacation bro but it's true Brooklyn style pizza, not any of that franchise shit and its awesome! You should also really stop by Junior's Restaurant and grab a cheesecake, best there is! I used to have them shipped to me in Texas when I lived there.

I told you Juniors had awesome cheesecake bro!!! Justa dont forget the pizza at Roberta's!  

Yes those onion rings look great, I'll take 2 orders pls!
