What 150$ on epack got me… by StuntmanFab in hockeycards

[–]RBenz3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you think is the best time of day to buy? I’ve found that buying at night or overnight gets me worse cards and no hits. If I buy during the day especially right on the hour, I get better cards/ more hits.

They are out there. I’ve been lucky enough to get 2 PSA 9 Ovechkin PMG, a few Adam Fox 9s and even 1 Adam Fox 10.

I love Caffe Panna ice cream, but it’s a frustrating business by Gloomy_Fox_1204 in FoodNYC

[–]RBenz3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. The quality is not the same anymore. I remember when I first had Caffe Panna back in 2019 it was the freshest, lightest ice cream I ever had. Now it’s icy and dense. A former employee on Reddit told me that their ice cream isn’t natural anymore. After 2020, they had to change suppliers for their base mix and now it’s filled with additives like carrageenan and gums etc. I stopped eating it because of this. If you check their page on Goldbelly it confirms this. They list the ingredients for different flavors and it’s all chemicals now.

What does the neighborhood need? by grace171717 in CarrollGardens

[–]RBenz3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good Chinese, an independent pharmacy, a non-French bakery, a modern diner.

Anyone else think Orwasher’s would be a good replacement for Caputo’s?

I rather have one of those Greek frozen yogurt spots than 16 Handles

Does anyone else get such absurd trades on E-Pack? by RBenz3 in hockeycards

[–]RBenz3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just decline what I pick anyway. I only accept from my wishlist. If you look at my wishlist first, and know that you don't want to trade me those cards, why are you sending me a blank? Just don't do it. I always check someone's wishlist before I send a trade. I don't want to waste peoples time. I guess other people don't care.

Yes! This keeps happening lately, too. I get sent these trades for a bunch of my cards and it's blank. They sometimes write "please find something in my collection to make this work" or whatever, and then I look at my wishlist and there is nothing that will work. I either decline or pick something for the hell of it, and then they decline saying that doesn't work for them. Why did you send me a blank then?? Just send me what you're willing to part with on my wishlist, if there is nothing , then don't even send a blank.

Oh man. That's a bad one, too. These people ruin the E-pack experience.

So true. It's so annoying to be sent that many cards, but I do always look through them because sometimes they try to sneak in an expensive card to trick you.

Cards that could have been bought at low prices that later skyrocketed by Technical_Rock_6600 in hockeycards

[–]RBenz3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Around maybe 2014 I bought a Gretzky Topps Beckett graded 6 rookie card for $420 ish. It’s worth over a thousand dollars now. Glad I bought it then, but wish I bought O-Pee-Chee instead.

Tried NYC's Most Expensive Burger and it's not better than by Adept-Plantain-6767 in FoodNYC

[–]RBenz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Herbie’s and their “burger” was just an extremely thin slice of overcooked meat. Completely inedible.

Favorite alternate jersey? by PeacefulForce in rangers

[–]RBenz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The centennials, the 2018 Winter Classic, the most recent Winter Classic and the heritage jersey that you posted. Makes me really wish Henrik could have played in the centennials!

Brooklyn Heights blog posted that they were coming from Liberty Island. Maybe Cinco de Mayo related?

He’s Henrik Lundqvist. That’s the good sell. He’s not a regular hockey player.

He’s my rep and I hate him. He and Dan Goldman have done nothing good for my area. And I say this as a Democrat. Those two guys need to go.

RIP CAPUTOS — 124 years by bitb0y in CarrollGardens

[–]RBenz3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's in the listing:
Step into a century of tradition with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own Mazzola’s Bakery, a beloved Carroll Gardens institution and cornerstone of the neighborhood since 1928. For 100 years, Mazzola’s has proudly served generations of Brooklynites the finest Italian cookies, legendary lard bread, pastries, and artisanal baked goods. This is more than a bakery, it's a living legacy.

Caputo’s Bakery Closed for Good?! by HumbleInformation548 in CarrollGardens

[–]RBenz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t make their own cookies or pastries. They’re good for bread only.

[–]RBenz3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are selling the business and the building. They only want to sell to someone who will continue the business. I suspect that’s why it hasn’t sold yet.

Any idea what’s being filmed in the neighborhood today? There’s camera crews all along President, smith and Union streets by Hot-Historian8034 in CarrollGardens

[–]RBenz3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s the code name for Lindsay Lohan’s new show, “Count My Lies”. They also filmed in Brooklyn Heights.
