My brother picked us up tickets for $25 off of TicketMaster, so I don't know why Smoking Musket is claiming to be something special.

So what you guys are saying is that the VBL2 doesn't even care enough to five us a fake discount?

I'm going to this game and will probably scalp a ticket. I'll go 55-45 with anybody here on a pair of tickets outside the gate.

I'm taking a bus up from Martinsburg. It leaves around 7 in the morning and I think we are an 8pm game. I don't know what there is to do in Brooklyn but I'm sure I'll find somewhere to drink.

Brooklyn doesn't have the "everything you could want on every single block everywhere" thing that Manhattan has... but there is still plenty to do.... its a huge city in itself. A lot of great restaurants. Bars seemed to be harder to find, but there were a few in the area of where the Barclays center is now and I have to think that there may be more that were built because the barclays center is there. There is a restaurant called Bark Hot Dogs that is just up Flatbush from the barclays center that I have really enjoyed.... I went in there every time I have been in Brooklyn the past few years. Its run by some fucking idiot liberal asshats, but the food is good. barkhotdogs.com/ Park Slope in general is a nice part of town.... plenty to find just wandering around. The Brooklyn Museum is just a few blocks away from where the barclays center is, and its actually pretty cool. Really, right in that area there is a decent amount of stuff... there are a lot of little restaurants on Flatbush. There is this restaurant over in Prospect Heeights on Washington Avenue (right by the museum) called Islands that is pretty awesome. It was BYOB when I was last there. Its Jamaican and its delicious. www.nytimes.com/restaurants/1117010992613/the-islands/details.html this thing calls them "steep stairs" to the second level, I remember it more as a ladder. My favorite bar in the Park Slope area was a place called Sharlene's, on Flatbush. Its up towards Prospect Park a few blocks from the Barclays Center. It was cheap for New York and had a cool atmosphere. nymag.com/listings/bar/sharlenes/Oh, while searching for Sharlene's website, I found: www.complex.com/city-guide/2012/10/the-10-best-restaurants-and-bars-around-barclays-center/sharlenes which is part of this "ten best bars and restaurants near Barclays Center" thing which might be more helpful than my fuzzy memory. www.complex.com/city-guide/2012/10/the-10-best-restaurants-and-bars-around-barclays-center/#gallery |

Is t everything in New York run by liberal asshats?
When I went to the big east tourney I was meeting people at some bar called the Blarney Stone next to the garden. We went in and couldn't find anyone, asked the bartender, and there are two blarney stones on the block around the garden.

The Brooklyn Applebees is probably more ironic than you're used to, though

Three blocks up Flatbush (north) from the Barclays Center is the nearest Applebees, on Flatbush between DeKalb and Fulton.

Actually, its just sort of by chance because my best friend from high school and college lives in Brooklyn now...and he lived in Park Slope for a long time... so when I visited up there I was in this exact part of town most of the time.
If this thing had been built a mile in any direction, I probably wouldn't have known shit about the neighborhood.

Didn't make it to Applebees. Had a good time though. Had lunch at the Smoke Joint in Brooklyn and took the Q line to Times Square and walked to Rockefeller Center. Then back to Brooklyn and ate at BW3s right before going into Barclays for the game.
