HTO trip

[AirCobra]

I could really give a $hit what he puts in his body or how he spends his money. If you read his very first post, it is a bit ambiguous and states he is on a $175 per month budget. Now it is clear that it is only for when he flies, but still he does not state how many days per month. But when you make an opening statement of how you are headed to HTO and are on a $175 per month food budget (before his clarification), yeah, people are going to be saying WTF????

My first statement was TIC, then I asked him for clarification. Take a deep breath.....

If everyone could have just typed the names of places to eat this thread wouldn't have gotten so stupid. That was all he asked for.

I don't think a clarification was necessary, pretty easy to figure out he did not divide $175 for food by 30 days a month since people don't work 30 days a month.

It would be like someone saying they made $100 an hour, then someone else going "wow, that means you make $2400 a day"

I believe the FBO gets a good rate at the Sag Harbor Inn. (109/night, i believe). Its been a while but I know it was cold when I was there. Probably an off-season rate. But there are several places in the Sag Harbor area that or within walking distance and budget.

Baron inn. 180/night. Looked like it was close to a lot restaurants. Probably take the car out west and see what all is out there.

Ok lets use your logic. Say he works 12 days a month. $175 divided by 12 days equals $14.58 per day. Say he eats three meals a day. $14.58 divided by three equals $4.86 per meal.

Not to many places you can eat for $4.86 per meal.
Maybe at the 7-11 he could get a warm Y'oo-h'oo and Twinkies if he is lucky.

You have to love the Internet. Knuckle heads to know it all at the click of a mouse.

I'm sure you could find some local eatery for your budget. I would recommend, since you have a car, to venture a little west towards Southampton, West Hampton, Hampton Bays area. You are sure to find some decent places in your budget.

domestic workers (and pilots!) gotta eat too!......:bawling:

Help each other out?? C'mon Cobra I offered to send the guy some money so he could stay outta the dumpsters and another buddy here even offered him some delectable Rudys scraps for free (personally, I would have charged him $6 or at least held back the fruit/yogurt dip stuff)

Does that generosity not count anymore?...Kids today I tell ya!

Dont be all mad now!.....

The FAA really needs to un-ground you ... you are obviously starting to go stir crazy being a big bad internet bully and all.

On the flip side, you could join us in ZBAA and for 5.50 I can get you some scorpions and deep fried ladybugs at a side walk vendor. You will have to spend your remaining $3 on some (most likely fake) cypro to clear up your intestinal distress ....

Not a very good quality place.

ewwww...no. I have forgotten where ZBAA is, for good I hope.

Yes it may be a slow June, and that's good because I am going to re-stock the river with 400 more fish today so maybe next time you can catch one?

Since we are generous and helpful (pilots helping pilots!?) we can save any trout over 8 inches and mail them to Jpilot23 so he can eat!

In all seriousness, if you want to eat well on as little money as possible, how about going to a grocery store? These days most hotels have a fridge/microwave in the rooms, it's a simple matter to go shopping and stock up on sandwich stuff, fruit/cereal for breakfast, even get creative for hot dinners and do better than TV dinner stuff. Lots of groceries have hot deli- stuff, and a salad bar, too, still cheaper than going out. And, probably healthier than McD's for breakfast and a greasy burger for dinner every day.
