Bronx zoo

One time, I was on a date at the Bronx zoo, and my date was scared of the peacocks that roam around. I had to be a gallant knight and chase it away.

Anyway, the Bronx zoo is the stupidest zoo ever. You pay admission, but then if you want to the animals you need to be a separate fee. Like to see the african animals or the asian animals. It’s ok to charge a separate fee for the merry go round–but not for seeing the animals.

Also, there is too far a walk between bathrooms, and it is not at all well marked which way to walk to a bathroom.

Also, the whole thing is too big of a walk, and the silly wagon train doesn’t let you get on and off at different places easily (and costs extra…)

And, when we were on the silly wagon train, they told me that my nephew was not allowed to eat the cookie he was eating. I just said yes, and did nothing. Let them tell my 2 year old nephew he can’t eat his cookie. I wish them the best of luck.

That’s all for now.

you went on a date & brought your nephew along?

Of course.

When you test drive a car, do you drive on a private track, or do you drive on a regular street? You drive on a regular street so you’ll know what it is like.

When you go on a date, you can’t just go yourselves in a nice car to a nice place and be all sweet and cute–you fill the back of the minivan with screaming kids and moldy cheerios and then you see how you like each others company.

Eeees and I love to go to zoos on dates. Unfortunately, our schedules don’t allow us to go on Chol HaMoed this year, but perhaps at some point in the next few weeks…

The Wolf

reminds me of an old yid in my shul, who probably doesn’t have 2 coins to rub together, yet he is the happiest man i know always with a quip for every situation. Many years ago someone asked him,

“Shloimeh, you take a bus to work?? Why not go in a car?”

“What?? Why should I go in a $25,000 car, when I can go in a $200,000 bus, with a driver?”

PBA -“You pay admission, but then if you want to the animals you need to be a separate fee.”

No, you don’t. On Wed. it’s free. I once made the mistake of going to the Bronx zoo on Chol Hamoed on a Wed. Almost every Jew in the tri-state was there.

TurtleBack Zoo in West Orange NJ is also really nice. the Butterfly and bird exhibits are closed now but apparently they are doing alot of construction and adding to the zoo. And IIRC everything is included in the price

Its gonna be full of Jews wherever you go on chol hamoed.

Baruch Hashem

i was thinking about going but because its a public outdoor place i was scared of seeing pritzus so i went ice skating where everyone is fully clothed

yenta -“Its gonna be full of Jews wherever you go on chol hamoed.”

Believe it or not, I’ve gone to places where there are no Frum Jews, but it’s a little far.
