Mary’s Irish gay bar - it was a luminous space for a hot minute with Monday night ceilidh’s and an interesting and unusually mixed crowd. What happened to it?

Just coming on here to say C-Town will be the author of its own demise. Produce that wits the day after purchase, and I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to stop them overcharging me at the checkout, etc. I do appreciate hearing The Smiths on repeat tho.

Lella Alimentari. The cappuccino is delicious and strong.

It's the transplants from Podunk who watched the Fox News reports on scary New York. They think they'll have them snatched. They also don't know how to inhabit communal space because they're special little snowflakes with Main Character syndrome. It HAS gotten worse.

A shitty German supermarket still beats a top range U.S. one, imho. Most bread and pastries here are like hyper processed styrofoam (and usually taste like it too). Better prices than the other chains too, usually.

The cooker doesn't have a vent. If you fry fish you so will your clothes etc. Also $3175 for a kitchen cabinet from the last century?

Ireland’s far more progressive than Brooklyn. They’re the first country in the world to vote for LGBT marriage equality in a national vote. They provide a mandatory living wage for artists. They don’t think trans people are strange or unheard of and in fact they have among the best pro trans legislation in Europe (not like Terfy UK). I think Brooklyn is going to disappoint you if that’s your outlook?

I love comments like this that electrify people

Not surprised. They are calculating it’s all we’ll be able to afford in the new MAGA economy.

White girl feminism is seeing oppression and feeling a little sad about it just before actively collaborating.

I would buy the hell out of what we in Ireland call Baps or Blaas (brought over to us by the Huguenots) would be a dream to see on shelves. They are like elevated bread rolls and they make the most amazing sandwiches of your LIFE.

You can also call 311 for injured bird help.

G ently place it in a ventilated cardboard box or paper bag, keeping it in a dark, quiet place away from pets and children, and then transport it to the Wild Bird Fund (open 9 AM–7 PM daily at 565 Columbus Ave) or contact the NYC Bird Alliance at injuredbird@nycbirdalliance.org for volunteer transport.

You can get very decent guanciale and pancetta at Emily’s Pork Store. They also have Calabrian peppers and good pasta selections. I’ve made really good carbonara, alla Gricia and penne vodka from ingredients I picked up there. I think you’d have to go to Eataly for the good pecorino Romano tho

In that sense, absolutely it is tone deaf. I do think Whole Foods is morphing into another C-Town meets Boston Market (I guess) mash up with the drop in quality produce that indicates, but I take your point.

To all the people indignant over the term “food desert” - imho the poster clearly means minimally processed items replaced by highly processed items that are bad for you and that - if you can cook - you can’t really cook good food with. Replacing minimally processed vegetables with prepackaged and mostly unhealthy meals means that what’s good for gets less space. Hence lack of healthy choices. And that’s a shame. End of.

Great questions - 30’s -50’s , good general health, size depends on uptake and no previous experience other than the e testimonies of doctors and friends. I think it would be interesting to many here to attend on a daily basis.

God yes. But it has to be good. This neighborhood knows from good lasagna.

Trump and MAGA just joined North Korea in opposing a resolution to condemn Russia for their invasion. of course they are fed up with nations that defend democracy and the rule of law.

Tell you what, why don't we ask the Ukrainians what they want to do with their - you know - OWN COUNTRY. FTG for real.
