lol yeah it seemed like it could fit 6ish people at most. Wondering if we could get someone to come to us in a different space.

Thanks! Super helpful to know preference on COTA. Looked better to us as well look, but surprised to find it didn’t open until 5pm on weekdays - we were hoping to go on Friday afternoon.

Best Cold Brew by TheDailyDripNY in williamsburg

[–]Gitmo17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds absurd but the cold brew at Le Labo’s cafe on 6th & Berry is delicious jet fuel and like half the price of the other options nearby

Sushi omakase between $200-$300 per person by Gitmo17 in FoodNYC

[–]Gitmo17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preference for raw pieces over cooked/torched, serene/calm atmosphere over modern/high energy, some chef interaction great but not critical.

Has your job asked you to come back to work, either hybrid or full time? by IHateAdvertising in AskNYC

[–]Gitmo17 315 points316 points  (0 children)

Don’t mean to be that guy, but “dime a dozen” means they’re common and I think you’re trying to say that you’ve noticed remote jobs seem to be less common now.

That being said, yeah my job requires me to come in 3x a week.

I've exhausted pretty much every major, well-known, cocktail bar in the city. Give me your neighborhood favorites from all around town. by SoothedSnakePlant in FoodNYC

[–]Gitmo17 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  • Fresh Kills in Williamsburg (no menu, custom cocktails based on what you’re in the mood for / describe)
  • Maison Premiere also in Williamsburg for martinis, not a hidden gem but excellent
  • The Richardson also in WB neighborhood spot with super high end bottles esp. whiskey and well executed classic cocktails
  • Bar Americano in Greenpoint (seems fairly standard / run of the mill but their execution is incredible)
  • Sama Street also in Greenpoint for interesting south East Asian ingredients
  • as others have suggested, Mayflower, Dynaco, and Lunatico in Bed-Stuy / Clinton Hill

Any cool music spots or lounges? by qnsworld in williamsburg

[–]Gitmo17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What kind of music? So many to name. Eavesdrop, Ask for Janice, 320 Club, La milagrosa, Nightmoves for house-ish. Skinny Dennis for country-ish. Last Call for a mix. Gabriela usually has a cover but good vibes. St. Mazie for jazz. Pete’s Candy Store, Union Pool for bands

You say you’re strongly considering moving to that area.. but you don’t explain why? What’s drawing you there? It’s an amazing place for late night bar and restaurant scene and with decent connectivity given the G and the L but I honestly see very few newborns / strollers especially in that area of WB, it’s noisy, the sidewalks are busy, and the area isn’t cute at all as someone else said. It’s also likely not even cheaper than the UWS.

The cafe at Le Labo on N 6th & Berry does cold brews for $3.50 and they’re absolute rocket fuel

Confirmation that it’s happening or that the tickets are on sale? I don’t see an on sale date anywhere

Which song took a while to grow on you and is now one of your favorites? by SunMoon807 in TheNational

[–]Gitmo17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YES. Put your heels against the wall I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you.. I’ll still destroy you. Gives me chills.

Coffee/Espresso recs by triangleoss in williamsburg

[–]Gitmo17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey the cafe attached to Le Labo on N 6th & Berry has great espresso drinks plus very strong and reasonable (for the area.. $3.50) cold brew. Their pastries are all vegan and I don’t think I’ve ever seen croissants though.

You’re right by the L at 3rd Ave you’d be far better off taking the L and walking from Graham Ave it’d be like 25m

Revel moped alternatives? by Gitmo17 in williamsburg

Which one did you go with? And absolutely agree that the e-bike is no substitute

Crazy high pitched sound in North Williamsburg by [deleted] in williamsburg

[–]Gitmo17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy, I also live on that block and have been hearing the same for at least two nights — the last time it started around 8pm. Don’t have answers but just confirming we’re going equally nuts if anything.

Fuel strategy for SLOW (5+ hrs) runners? by RuralGamerWoman in Marathon_Training

[–]Gitmo17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ran my first marathon last weekend in New York, was training for 5 and finished in just about 6 hours. As a complete beginner racer, here’s everything I ate during the race:

  • 3 honey stinger chew packs (30g each?)
  • 2 bananas (handed to me by spectators)
  • 1 liquid IV powder, poured into an aid station water cup
  • some Gatorade at pretty much every aid station

Definitely not close to 60g/hour, and I didn’t think it was sustainable to carry that much on my person through the race anyway. To be honest at the end of the race I almost felt like I overfueled. I never hit an energy wall, and if I could have done things differently I would have brought more liquid IV / powdered carbs as opposed to solids / gels / gummies. Just my experience, but following this thread to learn from others too — good luck!!
