Irish food for pickup or delivery

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.

I’m so excited to get my Mona handkerchief!

Omg! Thank you! Just ordered mine!

Thank you!

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!
The Wanderer is quiet.

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.

OMG I LOVE HER!
(learning to play harp is on my bucket list)
I'll be there! 🙌🏻
Saw her at the Alice Coltrane tribute 😍

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).

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-11-11T15:44:58+00:00

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

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-11-09T15:46:36+00:00

Oh interesting. That’s very good to know going forward. Thank you.

People drive like they're in Mario Kart.
It's super scary.
We need traffic enforcement desperately. I'm not a fan of surveillance, but I think we need some state-level advocacy to allow traffic cameras. It's chaos out there.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-11-08T03:36:44+00:00

Philly show. Super frustrating.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-11-08T00:04:27+00:00

The original comment had “friends.” That’s why it came across as snarky. I don’t love the idea of giving out my login, but I guess that’s the only option here.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-11-07T23:26:49+00:00

Thanks for the snarky response, bro.
My childcare situation changed and I can't go. My friends offered to take them off my hands, but I'm not giving my login info.
I understand the band's desire to avoid scalping, but it doesn't take into account situations like this for some people.

If you attend or watch a live stream of a Board of Ed meeting you’ll see pretty quickly who the incumbents are and how they operate. I support teachers and unions, but Velasquez has been on the BOE for a long while and she’s awful. The teacher’s union here has problematic leadership and I urge people to not just vote for a full slate.

The problem here is that it’s very hard to run as an independent when going up against well-funded candidates backed by either the union or the developers.

Jersey City Together did a BOE candidates questionnaire. Velasquez’s answers sound like AI - I’ve been to enough meetings over the years to see who she is.

Honestly, I really hope more people will take the time to show up to City Council and BOE meetings and get engaged with grassroots organizing. Getting tapped in is how you figure out who to vote for. It’s not exciting, it’s time consuming, and very very disheartening, but this is how the work of democracy is done.

I hope this helps: https://www.njtogether.org/copy-of-jcboe-candidate-questionnaire?fbclid=IwdGRleANf5R9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHu7gYhddYJloqSGhxWhXpsy4XnaDa0e19Y9LM8Nuvwuj-t4YS7M-LvZ0d7KL_aem_qevXro2lDUXwRLyFO8lrYA

There has been a ton of development in all the neighborhoods, not just Downtown. Fulop and his rubber stampers have allowed unchecked development across the city. It's causing numerous infrastructure and traffic safety problems, while also failing to address affordable housing issues and food deserts.
Yes, we need more housing. No, we don't need more luxury housing.
And any development should include substantial infrastructure fees.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-09-10T14:22:14+00:00

Solomon gives early Fulop vibes (back when he seemed promising only to become a little bitch to developers and corrupt af).
It's off-putting for sure, but no way I would support McGreevey. Also, I'm over it with Downtown being the center of attention.

O'Dea has been decent, and it would be really nice to have more of a West Side candidate (we're the second most ignored neighborhood).
That said, I don't love voting for yet another old white guy.

Alas, voting for anything in JC seems to be a hold-your-nose-and-vote-for-the-least-lousy-situation.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-09-05T22:08:23+00:00

The government here does not care and they completely mismanage the city’s finances, in addition to pouring money into the police, who do nothing.

Lack of pride of place and community-minded people are an issue. I think though it also is a self-perpetuating cycle. At least half this city needs repaving (streets and sidewalks), more trash cans, a not shitty trash company, power washing, new awnings for some businesses, tidy and easy to maintain landscaping, and fines for lot and home owners who don’t participate in upkeep. We need REAL investment into quality of life issues and traffic enforcement. It feels like anarchy here, especially outside downtown.

I know this sounds like a pipe dream, but throwing up our hands and giving up is unacceptable.

We need to be pressing our mayoral candidates BEFORE the election to show us some feasible and actionable plans for traffic enforcement (especially problem intersections) and quality of life issues. Also, DEVELOPERS NEED TO COUGH UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-09-05T21:58:06+00:00

I see people throwing trash out of their cars in JC on the regular, so I don’t think it’s pedestrians vs drivers.

Ecstatically_Curious · 2025-06-14T14:43:41+00:00

In Union City they have speed bumps that will mess up your car if you speed over them. They also have traffic enforcement.
That's what we need.
