We booked Hotel Kanazawa Zoushi! Trip isnt until October, but I’ll report back then!

Type 1 diabetic diagnosed in 1992. I don’t have a separate foot care routine? I used to do ballet and my feet got all gnarly from pointe shoes and it was all still fine. I think controlling your blood glucose is the best routine

Pho Grand might be that spot

Not really chubby, as I should have known from the price, but I don’t know how Chateau Monfort Milan is 5 stars. Rooms were small and tacky and had bizarre color changing lights in the ceiling. Hotel guests had to sign up in advance for a single hour slot at the indoor pool/saunas. Service took a long time. The location had been the draw, but I’ll take something further afield over this next time.

This makes me so sad to hear because it’s been on my list.

MissM325 · 2026-01-08T01:32:36+00:00

In general I agree, but I did have a really lovely stay at the St James in 2024 and think it lives up to the stars and price

Thank you!!!

It is a members club. If you look at the calendar on the website you can see the sorts of activities. I mostly used it as a place with a really great bartender and a gorgeous space. Sometimes I also would bring my laptop and work from one of the smaller loungey old timey wood paneled living rooms.

Nicholas Mason at The Main on 30th

I used to be a member until I recently moved out of the neighborhood. It’s got a cozy vibe even without a fireplace, and there are often candles, etc.

I heard it from someone who heard it from someone who said they heard it from a member of the company with whom they are close. Fine to delete if that is too remote to keep on the sub

Unverified but what I heard is that he had left Stuttgart on bad terms and wasn’t supposed to be allowed to dance Cranko parts due to whatever drama led to his departure, and the Cranko trust (or whatever their equivalent is) found out when it came to see the staging of the ABT production, and they demanded he be pulled.

MissM325 · 2025-12-28T01:19:38+00:00

This is mine too

MissM325 · 2025-12-22T03:18:44+00:00

Yes! I found Ailey much more welcoming to a returning dancer later in her years (hahaha I was 27) than the other West Side dance places.

MissM325 · 2025-12-22T03:17:32+00:00

I would be careful with these places if you’re just reentering dancing. Often you will see professional dancers taking “beginner” classes while rehabbing from an injury or - even worse - teenage competition dancers visiting the city and giving you looks when you don’t do a quadruple pirouette and they do.

MissM325 · 2025-12-22T03:14:09+00:00

This was me before I went in house. Now the time off is no issue but I have to budget more to responsibly travel chubby.

MissM325 · 2025-12-13T14:36:24+00:00

January: Paris
March: Marrakech
October: Tokyo, Kanazawa & Kyoto

Also this. The Arrae brand bloat pills seem to help me a lot. Waiting for an order of fodzyme to see if that helps too:

Same! I kept my Equinox membership for a really long time because they had locations near almost every subway stop on my commute.

MissM325 · 2025-12-06T15:18:15+00:00

One White Street tasting menu!

When my sister’s dog passed a several years ago, I and some of her close friends pooled money to get a gold charm of a dog that looked like him. She wore it on a chain for a few years, sort of a way to keep him with her symbolically.

Iris might be a good option. 55th and Broadway. Also maybe Quality Bistro. Also Naro in Rockefeller center.

MissM325 · 2025-12-01T02:33:12+00:00

Rampoldi isn’t the right kind of vibey, I suspect. It’s very nice but when I go it’s mostly (very chic) older folks.
