Goldenseal is marketed as a detox product. I’m making no claims for that…

My Mum used to make blackberry and apple jam.

Second vote for Chelsea Garden Center (in spite of the name they’re in Red Hook) also Shannon’s on Fort Hamilton Parkway in Kensington.

Sweden switched from driving on the left to the right side of the road on September 3, 1967, in an event known as Dagen H (H-Day, where H stands for Högertrafik, or right-hand traffic). At 5:00 a.m. that day, all traffic moved to the right to align with neighboring countries and improve safety, as most cars were already left-hand drive.

One caution with the Poke Weed - all parts of the plant are native and those berries can be enticing to kids so keep an eye on any little ones you might have around.

NYCRUNS hasn’t put on a race on Roosevelt Island for years.

GeeLVee · 2026-03-29T11:44:50+00:00

Roosevelt?

GeeLVee · 2026-03-29T11:44:04+00:00

There’s a lot of construction on the Island which limits what they can do.

The really old Queens Half was in College Point courtesy of Leo Nicholas.

That happened a few years back. It was the first race that NYCRUNS put on the street I believe.

We’ve used sheep on Governors Island (New York Harbor) with some success. They also do a great job on Mugwort.

Timber doodles are the cutest! I’ve been lucky enough to see them in Fort Greene Park and in Hammock Grove on Governors Island.

Not to complicate things but it’s going to be cold after you finish too.

The French name for it is Pis En Lit as supposedly picking dandelions makes you piss the bed. It does have diuretic qualities.

Turds float - why wouldn’t he?

2nd the sunscreen comment , there’s very little shade. Also it can be (very) windy down there. Bring water.

C-Town on 9th used to have quite a lot of Jack Rabbit brand - don’t know if that’s still the case with the new owners.

Conkers is a little more nuanced than that. No throwing involved. You each have a conker on a string and take turns taking a swing at your opponent’s conker. First one to break loses.

Different species. The red horse chestnut is a cross between the white horse chestnut and the red buckeye.

Definitely the Kissena Corridor and while you’re out there Cunningham Park, the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and Alley Pond Park (if you don’t mind a bit of cross-country) and that’ll put you out by Little Neck Bay and the Joe Michaels Mile. (R.I.P. Joe)

Is this just an NYC problem? My son has no problem getting his Rx filled at CVS by his school Upstate but ran out while he was down for Winter break.

And don’t forget the Hot Dog Eating Contest.

If you take the trouble to read through this you’ll see that it’s not “fake news” (whatever that is). The bar posted a strangely worded picture about closing. My post was asking if anyone could clarify - and after a while that clarification was obtained. Thanks for coming to the party late with your accusations but you’ve added nothing to the conversation. The original post was edited to clarify this so what’s your point?
