Hey Y'all, I head up to NYC this afternoon for a few weeks worth of work. Any body have any good suggestions for places to go, things to do, etc?

We'll be staying in Brooklyn.

yah, bass pro shops for one of those big cans of pepper spray. i would say pick up a nice glock but up there only the bad guys have guns.

keep your eyes open and watch your back.

 

This isn't my first time going up there, I've worked on this facility several times before. I thought about taking my XDm, but I don't have a carry permit for NY. I'll be up there with a crew of divers, we usually don't run into many problems when we travel, and trust me, we stay in some pretty sketchy places sometimes. This time we've rented a house not far from the jobsite.

You can meet up with me and let me drive your truck.

Nah, but my family and I will be heading up to NYC Wednesday Aug. 11 for about a week. I will try and keep an eye out for your truck. (if your taking it)

 

glock or xd, either one in ny or nj will give you an extended trip to the area.

 

I can't wait to go! Gonna try and get there this season too.

 

Henry Rifles are still made in Brooklyn, Maybe you can tour the factory if it is allowed.

Check out Juniors Cheesecakes, also in Brooklyn

Keep an eye out for "Snookie".......

 

I know we were suppose to get up b4 in Raleigh but we didn't so if you get a chance shoot me a pm I'm around and possibly could show you around.

 

Couple o pics from the trip. Should wrap everything up tomorrow.

For the first two weeks of the trip we stayed in a rented house in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. Unfortunately it's not available for the 3rd week, so we've moved into a hotel down the road.

Who knew you could get a backyard in Brooklyn?



The purpose of the trip is to inspect the old timber piles supporting some of the piers on the East River. I managed to take a few pics while working and got my buddy to snap a few of me entering the water on one of my dives.

View from the North side of the jobsite.


Brooklyn Bridge: (Hopefully I'll walk across it tomorrow)


My gear:


OK to go: If you look further down the pier you can see the 2nd diver also getting ready.

Diver is OK:
