I still mourn the loss of the trio of cheap restaurants that they used to have on the NW corner of University & W 13th across from the Holiday Inn.

Falafel King
Burrito Brothers
Chinee Takee Outee.

May their memory live in our hearts forever.


(For anybody who lives in NYC, imagine the Kool Bloo in SoHo, only one-fifth the price.)


Is Caribbean Spice still open? That place was just utterly awesome.

Yeah, baby. There she is!

I think so. I've never been, I'll have to check it out! Reggae shack cafe is taking over though.

Braineack 05-11-2010 02:56 PM

Observe the paradoxes built up about capitalism. It has been called a system of selfishness (which, in my sense of the term, it is)—yet it is the only system that drew men to unite on a large scale into great countries, and peacefully to cooperate across national boundaries, while all the collectivist, internationalist, One-World systems are splitting the world into Balkanized tribes.

Capitalism has been called a system of greed—yet it is the system that raised the standard of living of its poorest citizens to heights no collectivist system has ever begun to equal, and no tribal gang can conceive of.

Capitalism has been called nationalistic—yet it is the only system that banished ethnicity, and made it possible, in the United States, for men of various, formerly antagonistic nationalities to live together in peace.

Capitalism has been called cruel—yet it brought such hope, progress and general good will that the young people of today, who have not seen it, find it hard to believe.

As to pride, dignity, self-confidence, self-esteem—these are characteristics that mark a man for martyrdom in a tribal society and under any social system except capitalism.



Capitalism has created the highest standard of living ever known on earth. The evidence is incontrovertible. The contrast between West and East Berlin is the latest demonstration, like a laboratory experiment for all to see. Yet those who are loudest in proclaiming their desire to eliminate poverty are loudest in denouncing capitalism. Man’s well-being is not their goal.

Yeah, I do remember the other Falafel King. I think I went there once, after the first one changed to some BS Mediterranean place in '98 or so. It was good, but not exactly convenient if you happen to be on campus around lunchtime.

I have utterly no idea where this Starbucks was. We didn't have any in town when I was there so far as I can recall. There was the bike store (Chain Reaction, IIRC) right on the NW corner facing University, then The Trio, and sort of behind it all was some ghetto apartment building where a friend of mine lived.

Where did Burrito Bros relocate to?

Caribbean Spice is a must. When I was a student, that was one of the principle lunch spots. The whole meal was something like $2.25, for which you got a meat patty, cocoa bread, a hefty piece of carrot cake, and a can of soda out of the fridge. All wrapped up in a brown paper bag, to go. Grab it, pedal back over to that sort of park-like area behind Bryan Hall, chill, unwind.

I went back there a couple of years ago when I happened to be in the neighborhood. Absolutely nothing had changed. Same faded posters on the wall, same hand-painted sign...

turotufas 05-11-2010 09:58 PM

Burrito Brothers moved a block over right next to Tim and Terry's.

I like supporting local businesses so I'll definitely be going to Caribbean Spice soon.

NA6C-Guy 05-12-2010 01:23 AM

Damnit. I'm having trouble deciding wether or not to go ahead and start doing the preparations for the eventual V8 swap, and starts ripping out interior, do the cage, seat and harness, go ahead with suspension v2.5 (already messed with that shit more than I care to, this time I'll do it right) and track down a HT, remove that rattling mess of a soft top and pretty much be fully prepared. Of course this is my full time daily, but seeing as it's already by far the least comfortable daily driver I have ever owned, I don't see how a seat and harness would make it any worse. At least I will rid of some rattles, some weight, and pick up some handling in the process. Decisions, decisions... would also give me an excuse to go ahead and be slow at some track day events at Barber.

That being said, suggestions for a good bolt in cage? Autopower any good?

Doppelgänger 05-12-2010 07:51 AM

So I've tried 2 out of the 3 new Mtn Dew flavors...Whiteout and Typhoon. The Typhoon is OK...but the Whiteout is like crack...I love it.

I still miss Mtn Dew MDX...that *ish tasted EXACTLY like Surge.

FRT_Fun 05-12-2010 07:53 AM

The white out is pretty good. I was impressed.

Re: You have received a reminder from MX-5 Miata Forum

I suggest you go through the entire thread and give out warnings to all the members that have posted in that thread since March 2006.

We are all friends, it wasn't a personal attack on anyone, it was a joke. But thanks for the time to continuously monitoring the thread (while never posting in 4 years) for any evildoing and taking my comment out of context and dishing out a warning. I've really learned my lesson!!!!!

But just to make sure I'm not being singled out, I expect to see a warning handed out for the following posts:

http://forum.miata.net/vb/showpost.p...postcount=4805

"So you guys need to stop granny shifting and start double clutching. "

I find this highly offensive, yet his post still remains and he's off plaguing your site with evil.


http://forum.miata.net/vb/showpost.p...postcount=4707

"You guys are crazy!"

Obviously I'm not crazy, and obviously she deserves a warning for a personal attack.


http://forum.miata.net/vb/showpost.p...postcount=4505

"something tells me honking at the ladiez is not why you posess those items. "

This was a personal attack against me, suggesting that I'm homosexual.


http://forum.miata.net/vb/showpost.p...postcount=4507

"He does have the micheal jackson sticker on the back of his car."

Again, directed me me personally, there is a cogitation that because I have a MJ sticker on the back of my car I'm homosexual.



I'll continue to point out infractions as I see them, I know we can only do so much as one person.

internet forum communities, as a whole, are in-docterin-ating (sp) peeps to become ok and prefer life with such moderators

What if....

moderators had to tell you face to face that we can't use the word pussy. pussy. and they could ban you from communicating with others.

well, your post got me thinking...

Buying a Scorpion EX0 1000 helmet in a few days. Baller. Internal retractable smoke visor, air fit (air pump) in the cheeks, kevlar reinforced shell.

I can't pick a color. Will you help?

My bike is silver, but I plan on upgrading bikes next year. My gear is mostly black. I like the white best I think, but a friend and long time rider says it'll need cleaned after every outting. I'm just unsure about the matte finishes. Also, you'd think white helment would stay cooler? With the vents I'm not sure that even matters.

Yeah, but I sorta like the design. :greddy:

Plus I'm thinking long term, the primer is probably gray or white under the paint, so if I ever get chips in it, white or silver would probably look better 3 or 4 years from now.

I'd like this one better, as the design is neat. For whatever reason, there are none on ebay in the price I'm finding the others. These go for $300+
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...RPM_Helmet.jpg



I'm also looking at this:
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ami_Helmet.jpg but it's their EXO 400 helmet which doesn't have all the goodies... considering buying a used one for cheap as a spare/passenger helmet.

nicacus 05-12-2010 11:29 PM

look at the HJC CL-SP
http://www.helmetsetc.com/images/hel...matt-black.jpg
Thats what I have and I love it

I paid 200 for it and found it online for <$100 a couple days later :(

Project84 05-12-2010 11:41 PM

Does the matte finish get scarred easily? I mean, cleaning bugs off of it, do they leave little dark spots behind?

I just found that helmet for $90 on kneedraggers.com, helluva price. Might be a good option for a spare helmet if this Scorpion 400 falls through.

I'm just thinking, for another $100 with Scorpion I get the benefit of the internal smoke sunvisor (which is really cool and removes the need to wear my sunglasses), their "air fit" so that if the cheek pads get loose or worn I can just pump them up, and the kevlar reinforced shell. All good things.

nicacus 05-12-2010 11:47 PM

I've had it for ~9 months doesnt have any flaws in the paint yet,
all the padding is removable and forms to your face after wearing it long enough.
you can get a mirrored visor for 25 bucks on ebay, That's what mine has, I havent used sunglasses yet :cool:

Eh don't spend more than $80 on a bike helmet, Safety is irrelevant, just don't crash.

So I've now had all 3 of the new Mtn Dews.

Typhoon- Not bad. Not too much different than the Game Fuel version and has a familiar taste.
Distortion- Yeah no a fan. It's really like Oduls meets Bud Light w/Lime....aka non-alcoholic Bud Light w/lime. I bought a 12 pack and will finish it off jsut to get rid of it.
White Out- This *ish is like crack. I love it. Tastes different...much more crisp flavor and it's different.

Mr. Perez,

I'd like to thank you for telling me about Caribbean Spice. We love that place now. The mild beef patty special is me with coco bread, carrot cake and an orange soda. 5 bucks! I can't believe I never ate there before. I've walked in there many times by mistake thinking it was the video rodeo.

Only shitty thing is my friend got a parking citation 10 minutes before 4:00 by a 400 pounder. "Already started, sorry" BASTARD

NA6C-Guy 05-14-2010 11:03 PM

DEAR GOD! I have to be up at 3:00 to ready for a drive to Charleston SC. 7 hours there, hang out for a few hours, 7 hours back. Gonna be a FUN day. Spent all day today preparing a friends car for the trip. Fluid changes, a/c charge, headlight and fog light bulbs, air in tires, ect. At least we are taking his WRX wagon and not my car, at least faster and more comfortable.
