I’ve traded cocktails at the Peninsula for, well, cocktails at the Maggianos, but I can park right next to the entrance and not have to drag a stroller around, so that’s pretty great.
Driving to a bar to drink alcohol is great? It's better than being able to walk to a bar or take public transit? How? To me that sounds incredibly reckless.
- rayiner 7y agoIf you’re planning on having more than a couple of cocktails with dinner, you can always Uber. Ride sharing has been a huge boon for suburban areas. We can actually walk to a bar from our house (there happens to be a bar in our car dependent suburb) but it’s only a $10 Uber ride to the downtown of the satellite city where we live. For the two of us, Metro fare in DC wouldn’t be all that much cheaper.
- pen2l 7y agoWell, you’ve certainly changed rayiner :) I have a distinct memory of you taking the other side in a comment a couple years ago (too lazy to dig it out now) talking about how easy it is being in nyc transit with a stroller
- rayiner 7y agoOh man. When my wife and I were in our 20s with one kid in New York, being hip urban parents was easy. I did not realize how unscalable that was. The second kid kills you.
