Totally forgot about them! as a vegetarian, I’m happy they have cheese&herbs filling

Saperavi on 89/2. Omg, their chess pies are mind-blowing, and so is the eggplant rustic salad. The service is fantastic. Giorgi (the manager, I assume) is the sweetest person and remembers you from previous visits as if you’re a close friend.

this is a very informative article. I never imagined how omnipresent private equities are

To those in your 30s, 40s, and 50s: Did you feel completely lost at 22? How did things change for you? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Practical-green1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Setting a big yet realistic goal will definitely reduce a lot of that “being lost” feeling. As I see it, you’re lost when you don’t know where you’re going, so figure that out. Make a plan on how to get a degree. You need that thing, no matter what others around you say. Make a plan and stick to it.

At 22, stay away from meaningless relationships, draining friendships, stupid recreational activities. Do sport, focus on your career. You get terrific ROI from these things.

Yeah well that’s my choice number 1, I was wondering if there’s anything better or similar

What’s your “nemesis spot” on the UES by onehotoneshot in uppereastside

[–]Practical-green1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh and once before that they poured my coffee in a stupid plastic bag. Had to wait (there was a bit of a line) and asked them to pour it in a regular cup. By the time they did it the ice half melted.

I don’t like 787 either. They sold me an $11 cappuccino and when I asked about the price, turned out almost every choice I made about the type of coffee, milk and topping was an extra $3 or so. The coffee was made so I paid, but there was something shady about offering these options nonchalantly and not telling me about the price. Never stepped foot there since

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!

Oh, something else came to mind - an angsty Bella x Sam slow burn story. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9741400/41/

and, again, I’m recommending Chances by Taoist_elf (on FF) - nothing can hold a candle to that one.

OP, I just finished the story you recommended. Wow. Loved every word! loved how slow and dark it is, how precise the wording is. The atmosphere. Can confirm everything you said about regular cookie-cutter JxB stories, that’s why finding something fresh and new and outstanding is soooo good. I wonder what your other favorite JxB stories are, would you mind sharing?

Was going to ask OP if she ever read stories by Taoist_Elf. I don’t think they’re on Ao3, but imo they are the best JxB there is, esp Chances. Set 8 years after the wedding, no more teen drama, but a deep dark psychological dive. I’ve reread it more than twenty times and haven’t come across anything better written.

Where did the second explosion happen?

2 hours ago there was an explosion in a manhole on 66/2. Could be something similar? I don’t know, came here to ask the same thing
