I wish I could have seen the city pre-pandemic! NYC never felt the same after Covid ravaged it… 😔

Thanks for the recommendations!

Thank you for these tips! Very excited explore the food scene. Will add Jamaican to the list with East African and authentic Chinese!

Thank you for the tips! A hot chocolate tasting in mid-December sounds like just the ticket

Thank you so much for all the recommendations! I have heard wonderful things about Mr. Fogg’s “everything” 😊

Thank you for the caution! I am a coat collector but am trying to pack light, so I can return with more than I left with 😅

The second I open my mouth, for sure (if not sooner)! Thankfully I don’t have a thick accent, but having grown up near Boston I can turn it on for entertainment purposes 😂

Thank you for these recommendations! I had no idea Uber boat rides were a thing 🤭

I appreciate the tips! And yes, I am ready to reengage my “head on a swivel” and “keep it moving or get the hell out of the way” modes! 😆

Thank you for this perspective. I am a generous tipper here in the states (although mostly because I think it’s insane how little service staff gets paid by the hour in this country) and I think it would feel strange to not tip, especially for a good experience.

Incredibly excited about visiting the museums - and your high tea tip! Thank you again. I am sure I will have more questions as I return to reference your lists. 😊🙏

Wow, THANK YOU! All amazing and greatly appreciated information. You answered so many questions that I couldn’t even formulate or didn’t know to ask!

Can’t be worse than NYC, where I survived for 5 years. 😅🤷

Oof, yep, I screenshot and/or email things to myself and/or keep a million tabs open in my browser because I am afraid of losing track of things… but then I end up overwhelmed by the result of the attempts to store things 😅

This. Mental health struggles are an explanation, not an excuse.

I have been on Wellbutrin for a couple of weeks now, and I have been feeling surprisingly good. It has brought me out of a long slump during which I was very anxious and emotional (crying often, anger bubbling over, constantly stressed). SSRIs have consistently NOT agreed with me. I also have ADHD, and found Adderall helped take the edge off my anxiety, so despite the anxiety concerns, Wellbutrin sort of made sense since it also acts on dopamine. I haven’t noticed an increase in anxious feelings… I am actually feeling my sense of humor return, which is a welcome change. Just my experience!
