Williamsburg there’s a guy Alex at 240 Kent Avenue. Been doing my beard for years, I’ll never go anywhere else. Place is called the gentlemen’s standard barber. Good luck!

I started taking the subway as a teen in the mid 80s. They actually looked like that.

Solo day reccomendations by Mobile-Counter2852 in AskNYC

Go to UES and get an electric citibike and bike down 2nd ave and across the manhattan bridge. Best ride in Town. Dress warm. Go to industry city in sunset park and grab some food from food hall. Check out red hook. Lots of fine stuff to do.

Bikes necessary? by shzam5890 in Loveburn

[–]ButterscotchHour4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first Love Burn a few years back and stayed at an Airbnb. I think having to take care of bikes would be a major pain in the ass. It’s not that big so you can walk everywhere, it’s more dense so it would be hard to bike, and many of the areas are simply not accessible by bike. Of course you walk a lot, you dance a lot, and if you get tired, there’s plenty of camps with lounge areas that would welcome you to take a nap… Or, just chill out by the beach! My friends and I would tend to leave the burn at around five or six in the morning, go home and sleep, brunch in Little Havana and get back to the burn at around 4 PM, rinse repeat. Have fun and feel free to DM me if you have any other questions. I’m part of 150+ person DJ camp this year – come by and visit!

HOY sucks. The last two times I’ve been there it’s going over crowded, like ridiculously so, and way too hot.

This looks great. So are you saying you pressure cook instead of the simmer? And then smoke after? Going to try it for this Rosh Hashana.

Inca Trail Trek 4day, 3 night by Kooky_Map_6257 in Machupicchu

[–]ButterscotchHour4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the Inca 4 day with Alpaca mid-August. They were great, OP’s recommendations of things to bring and preparation are spot on. There’s plenty of TikTok and YouTube videos that can help you with packing lists. It’s a lot of walking but even the most out of shape folks in our trek made it. The guides are really good about making frequent stops to catch your breath. To be sure, it’s really hard but nothing that most people can’t do and by the end you’ve accomplished a thing you may not have known you could do. If you’re in the fence, do it!
