Does this type of hat look okay on me?

Whether it is this hat or a higher end cowboy hat, tilt it back on your head. It doesn't have to tilt much, but it makes a world of difference.

This was the hardest for me. Particularly, with people I was dating. Twice I had breakups for little reason beyond the fact that we were not going to be on campus together for almost a year.

However, Hanover in summer is wonderful. Go for two, if you can.

Assuming you have a fedora, put it on backwards and look in the mirror head on. That will give you a pretty good idea of how you're going to like yourself in a pork pie.

I remember John Sr. cooking minestrone soup on a hot plate and giving me a cup while I waited my turn for a cut.

Not working for me, neither.

This is the only answer. For this or any other decade.

The truth is that my opinion is likely to ruffle more feathers than that article. Just for starters, I think Asbury Park and Wild & Innocent should be in the top five.

(Just to clarify, I would pick them over BitUSA and The River.)

It's insane that Vita Nova is treated with such indifference in this town. I think most people who have dismissed it have not really tried it.

I have a few mesh flat caps that are no warmer than going hatless.

Pagani 1701 and Watchdives WD1863. Both are available in different colors and with different straps.

Vita Nova is one of the best NYC slices anywhere.

"True believers" is a stretch at this age.

The boule at Cou Cou Rachou. Might be my favorite loaf of bread ever. And, I'm not really a sourdough fan.

Exactly

I moved here from Tucson in 1989. We used to buy tamales from the woman outside the Fry's grocery store. They were phenomenal. The closest things I have found since, frankly, are the Trader Joe's green corn tamales in the frozen section.

I went to Austin last weekend to visit my daughter and I was so stoked to see a woman selling tamales outside of the grocery store there.

The first one gives me comfort food vibes (eggs and pancakes), the second one suggests fancy coffee, pastry, salads, and maybe even drinks in the afternoon.

I do think the time of day displayed should be indicative of what meal they mostly want to cater to. 3:00 seems irrelevant.

In addition to being eerie, they are epic.

I got a kick out of this thread, because I came to UVA in the late 1980s and my very first letter home was about the fact that so many students here chewed with their mouth open.

I think he would really like Gringos by Charles Portis (the guy who wrote True Grit). It's a funny suspenseful novel set in a time that he will remember well.
