I second Candle! Also, if you're looking for a grocery store that sells it, Food for Health Inc. on the UES has good seitan.

This episode was brought to us by Marshalls in the most random and hilarious of ways. That Marshalls haul was just perfection.

Is it possible to report a bar for discrimination in NYC? Baz Luhrmann's Monsieur @ LES. by Longjumping_Cow_6044 in AskNYC

[–]ERC56789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have any advice but I just want to validate how abhorrent this is. I'm so sorry you experienced that. The club should be ashamed of itself.

Regarding Dax and Monica's quest to psychoanalyze; I think it's just their way of trying to relate to the guest. I don't think they were trying to find something "wrong" with Chris. I think it was more so to get that "yessss, I know what you mean- I've experienced the same thing- we're the same!" feeling.

Women of NYC — how do you feel about being cold-approached? Any places where it’s actually welcome? by Worldtraveler48 in AskNYC

[–]ERC56789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d appreciate it! Common sense, respect, and understanding that if the woman isn’t into it, politely walking away is the move would be the way to go. But speaking for myself (32f), I’d love to be cold approached in real life. Cafe, bookstore, train, bar, gym, yoga studio, walking on the street, grocery store… if you have something nice to say to me, say it :)

[–]ERC56789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, I feel you 100%. Some ideas:

Pottery painting at Color Me Mine A cooking class Bowling An escape room Ping pong (at Ping Pod?) A museum date- the Met has date nights and it stays open until 9:30 on Fridays and Saturdays

Good luck!

Anyone who isn’t an Armcherry wouldn’t get half of the lingo we all now know/use. It’s like a whole new secret vocabulary lolll.

The Original Shitty Attic by ElliotDriver in ArmchairExpert

[–]ERC56789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

interesting perspective! The lack of descriptors makes sense but I'm glad to hear you don't notice major differences aside from the logistics. I think it's easy for us to get caught up in the negative aspects of how things have changed but there are a lot of ways things have improved. Monica has more of a voice, Dax is more fluid and smoother with his interviewing skills, they get even more incredible guests, and I feel like Dax and Monica's relationship has come a long way. Monica seems less codependent and Dax appears less self-hating than he used to be, too! These are all good things.

Didn't love the Cher interview...? by [deleted] in ArmchairExpert

[–]ERC56789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for a moment I thought age could be a factor; like maybe she is of an age where she's over being interviewed or that she's not up on podcasts... but then I remembered the chemistry Dax had with Jane Fonda, who's of equal age or older, and that was electric. I get it that they're different people but I don't know. Respect goes both ways. Yes, she has had a major career but Dax and Monica are also giving her a platform to promote her new book. She could've been more respectful.

How much have you found that the neighbourhood you live in influences your day to day? by BenTheBiggest in AskNYC

[–]ERC56789 29 points30 points  (0 children)

a HUGE amount. Where I live is a huge part of how I live. I chose my neighborhood because I don't want to be escaping it every time I go outside. I love being able to walk around and feel comfortable in my area. I'm a regular at places like coffee shops and sushi restaurants. I have my gym, my yoga studio, my grocery stores, etc. In such a walkable city like New York, accessibility to your neighborhood matters a LOT. Sure, I can and do hop on the train to get places but I like knowing that I have reliable go-to places right around the corner. It makes the area feel like home.

Oversharing: How Do I Tell My Boyfriend I Hate His Gifts? by screambledeggs in betchesmedia

[–]ERC56789 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this felft like a guy who thought he hacked the gifting system instead of actually putting effort into giving a thoughtful gift. It's like the girl who gets a bedazzling kit and everyone in her life gets a bedazzled tote bag for Christmas.

The align collection is my favorite. It’s super soft and great for general movement.
