But neither AIDS nor a villainous mayor were as instrumental in their death as the gay bar’s oldest foe: rent prices. (The Cock was also raided frequently under Giuliani.) Many others were lost before that, under the onslaught of AIDS in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Those old gay bars were raided often by police, and under Rudy Giuliani’s mayorship from 1994 to 2001, many of them closed, swept away in an aggressive urban renewal objective that some longtime residents claim was the death of New York City’s edge. In the midst of all this corporate sterility, The Cock stands out like a precarious red light in a city without a red light district. Although I was a fan of the opposing team, I didn’t catch a bunch of crap from Philly fans and was treated rather nicely compared to the stories I’ve heard from others.The gentrification sweeping New York has made it a city of elites there are more billionaires here than any city on earth. Now that I think about it, I may just be used to Mercedes-Benz prices in Atlanta, but for $25 I can have 5 beers there. Bring plenty of money for food and drinks because prices are HIGH!!! We paid $24 for 2 beers. We definitely got our workout that day and our calves were on FIRE!! It began pouring down raining just before kickoff and they herded us onto the concourse until it was safe to return to our seats. If there was an escalator of some sort, we missed it. No one wants to walk up a bajillion stairs or those long cement ramps to get to their seats lol.
I feel like the stadium needs some renovations or just give them a new fancy stadium like the rest of the teams are getting. I surprised him with tickets to this game because I knew they’d be hanging their Super Bowl champ banner and I wanted him to experience that among his fan base. My husband and I attended the 2018 NFL season opener between his Eagles and my Falcons. Good city great stadium, fanbase to be careful around but amazing if you get The W You do need to understand that this is a very passionate fan base and they don't really like away fans so exercise caution on that, the kiosks etc were good i got a taxi from the city there was easy enough on the way out it was harder on the way home and i was lucky to get a taxi but if i had done my homework a train would have been fine.
Really cool stadium i should have walked up to the upper tier and taken photo's of the city in the back ground but if i ever go back (which i would) i will do it then. The Eagles fans are certainly passionate but easily turn on their team if things are not going well, it was one of those games that they should have won however catches just didn't happen thankfully.
#PROPER ETIQUETTE AT THE EAGLE GAY BAR NYC HOW TO#
I had an amazing seat the right on the 50 and completely surrounded by eagles fans so i wasn’t sure how to react when the lions scored and it was tested with a run back straight away on the 1st drive so it was hard not to celebrate, but i didn’t go over the top to enrage anyone. I enjoyed my trip to Lincoln Financial Field it was back in September 2019 for the eagles vs lions, being a lions fan i was a little bit concerned regarding safety of away fans so i decided against wearing colours, however i did also have a flight straight back home after the game so wanted to lower the odds of a black eye.
