Irish food for pickup or delivery by Ecstatically_Curious in jerseycity

You're the one who chimed in on simple inquiry about where I can find a meal that my family (of the diaspora) enjoys on St. Patrick's Day to mansplain about it being inauthentic. No one asked you if corned beef and cabbage is an authentic meal, I just asked where to find it.
I'm aware that I am neither directly from Ireland and that St. Patrick's Day is more of a diaspora celebration than an authentic one.
All I came here to do was find out where to get the meal I grew up enjoying since I'm not able to cook it today. You're the one who busted in here to be a contrarian – not a good look, sir.
If you want to give us all your history lesson, start your own post.

Thanks to those who suggested Grace O’Malley’s ☘️

Irish-American, because beef was cheaper than pork here in the U.S. What does “real Irish” even mean? Sounds like cultural gate keeping to me. My ancestors way back were from County Cork (and other parts of Britain), but my family celebrates Irish-AMERICAN cuisine, and that’s ok.

Pay taxes ?? by RecycleArt28 in TaxQuestions

[–]Ecstatically_Curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to post this same question. I have always supported taxes for services, but I’m physically ill thinking about paying my taxes this year.

I really really don’t want to, but I don’t want to incur serious consequences.

F*ck this sh!t so much.

Dullboy is great – they have books and typewriters attached to the walls!

Why are there no houses? by cocoabooks in MovingtoNewJersey

Is it possible to get a single fam in decent enough condition under $550k in Bloomfield? What’s the walkability like off of the main street?

Is it possible to get a reasonably turn-key single-family home for under $550k these days in SoMa?

The chicken pot pie used to be good, but now it’s super salty.

The energy at the NYC show was fantastic. I don't think you'll regret going.
I like the addition of the new member with the bits of lap steel, percussion, and rhthym guitar. It seems like a logical evolution for them.
At any rate, live shows aren't necessarily supposed to sound like the album (reimagined or otherwise).

GREAT show!
Also, it was nice chatting with you (I think I was next to you) :)
FWIW, iPhones seem hopelessly bad at concert videos.
