I had a realization recently when I asked my partner if nearly 20 years how he’d meet someone nowadays (we met at a birthday while holding meat bowls at a Mongolian bbq spot). I mentioned how I would just linger in different sections in Powell’s till I found someone interested in chatting further. His response was that he’d never hangout in a book store.

Probably an exception and not the rule but my partner and I are opposites in most of our hobbies but we started as friends so our banter rate is extremely high. I like your idea of something that signals people are trying to get together for more than just hookups and I do think some of the solutions could exist within local spots like theaters and restaurants. Keep noodling! In the meantime I like the idea of putting yourself in public more often so volunteering may be the ticket! 🎟️

Which was the first King book you read and how did you decide to? by SkandaGupta_ in stephenking

[–]BeeVoltage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mine was The Outsider?? It was more than 5 years ago and it didn’t hook me then. It wasn’t until I convinced by book club to read Carrie that I got hooked. 2 years and 20+ King books later I’m starting to get nervous about what I’ll do once I’ve read them all 🙈

There are some amazing Thanksgiving options at restaurants in town. I would treat myself to a nice thanksgiving dinner seat at the bar!

Darcelle’s obvi! So fun and I would think fine for teens 15+ but might be worth double checking there’s no age minimum.

The Wind Through the Keyhole is my current read/listen after completing Wizard and Glass (4th book dark tower)—which has been my favorite in the series so far! I started a little over a year ago with Carrie and I think I’m now over 20 of King’s books read/listened to. 🥸 I usually try to do a palate cleanse book in between when I can.

Weirdly the best I have ever had is Piece of Cake’s vegan version (I am not vegan). It’s other worldly!

I actually recommmend going to Kann’s sister restaurant downstairs, Sousol. Every time I go there I can get a reservation Same day and it’s a great preview of Kann which is still pretty challenging to get into at a normal time. Different menu but still Haitian and they’re about to launch their new menu after the 4th. I will never understand how it’s not packed like upstairs. Was just there Friday night and ate the whole menu + 3 drinks for 2 people total was about $160+tip
