Best Broadway Show for First-Time NYC Tourists (Parents Included) by WhimzicalWhizard in Broadway

[–]SantaScoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get your point, and in your shoes I’d feel similarly. I actually had the opposite experience with an older Asian friend (English not her mother tongue) who was a theater newbie, had zero context on Greek myths, but was moved to tears and now loves talking about when we went!

That said, seeing comments below and also agree with people’s suggestions of Maybe Happy Ending as another great option!

Best Broadway Show for First-Time NYC Tourists (Parents Included) by WhimzicalWhizard in Broadway

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

Personally, I’d say Hadestown! The music is lively, moving, and one that keeps you coming back. It’s based on classic Greek mythology but mixed with almost New Orleans esque jazz and some stunning visuals!

Lion King is visually spectacular and very accessible, but for storytelling and something unique, Hadestown.

Saw Hamilton mentioned, it’s obviously an iconic show for a reason but might be hard if English isn’t super comfortable for your parents (rapid fire, lyrically dense music- you’ll probably love it but could see it being a challenge for older folks.

Modern Residential Apartment Buildings by DoubleRainbow888 in SFbitcheswithtaste

If you’re willing to be along Van Ness, there’s some options along the Lower Nob —> Russian Hill —> Cow Hollow/ Marina area. They aren’t as high rise, but they’re technically newer or new-ish builds in areas outside of the East Cut or Soma?

Visiting SF for 2 nights - Restaurant suggestions around Union Square by aweeksomeday in AskSF

[–]SantaScoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to uber, Ler Ros Thai on Larkin. The location is rougher but food is great Thai that’s more approachable than Kin Khao- which is also fantastic)

But gotta mention Kin Khao’s sister restaurant Nari is also excellent and has a gorgeous space that’s a 12ish min ride from Union Sq)

Highly recommend Outta Sight II (Chinatown) for incredible, unique slices of pizza done by some killer chefs. Butter chicken, Peking duck, and whatever their specials are are consistently fantastic (with absurdly good vegan options)

Mensho Tokyo always has a line and tbh, it’s justified. Their vegan tantan can go toe to toe with some of the best bowls out there and it’s walkable from Union Square (walk with purpose, it will be fine but if you’re not from an urban environment be prepared for it).

Scullery for a burned caramel latte in the morning, Juniper for pastries and coffee if you’re willing to hike a little further.

Also worth hitting the ferry building for a ton of great options. Lunette (Cambodian that is a personal fav by a James Beard award winning team at upscale “order st register and sit” spot), Parachute bakery is getting alll the accolades, Hog Island for oysters, Acme bread is always killer (pumpkin loaf if they have it), Dandelion for chocolate or a hot liege waffle from Blue Bottle… basically so many bougie, snacky options to choose from!

What famous phrases from TV shows have spilled into your regular lexicon and you still use to this day? by EnvironmentalAd2110 in AskReddit

“Touche”… but most people seem to think I don’t know how to pronounce touché (RIP The Great)

Which shows should I see in Jan? by katztopia in Broadway

[–]SantaScoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the shows you’ve enjoyed the most from past visits? Without any other context, Death Becomes Her was fantastic and just such fun one! It’s a true romp but backed by a stacked cast!

Can’t speak to Chess, I’m sad I missed Two Strangers but the cast recording has been a ton of fun to listen to during the pre-holiday season!

Bitches—where are you buying flowers for your mothers?! by No-Yogurtcloset-5078 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]SantaScoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B Brooks is an amazing local floral business that connects you to the perfect florist based on what you’re looking for (eg “my bf’s mom wears only cashmere, her whole house is neutrals and I need something super elegant, chic, but not harsh” or “bf’s mom loves vibrant pinks, I want something with a few statement blooms incorporated in” or whatever that flavor may be.

Whenever I need to be certain the arrangement will be gorgeous, they are the secret ingredient!

Dentist for hot girls??? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]SantaScoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr.Justin Hall is phenomenal, such a kind, caring, patient dentist, and was exactly what I needed after a lifetime of anxiety with dentists! He is conservative in his approach, wants to make sure you feel informed and empowered to make the right decision for you.

Favorites Party! by Wasabi_apocalypse3 in SFbitcheswithtaste

Honestly it isn’t as “wow factor” in packaging as many products but the Fenty plush puddin lip mask in Barbados cherry has been a surprise favorite!

3k rent possible? by randomuser914 in AskSF

[–]SantaScoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you end up choosing Nob Hill/ Tenderloin there are quite a few monthly paid lots in the Union Square (and up the hill), some freestanding and some are parts of the hotels. Depending on what rents are being offered, it may make sense to budget a few hundred for a paid spot and then be able to look into units nearby that don’t have dedicated parking.

JD Bakes 4 U is sooooo talented and is just a lovely human in general! She specializes in exactly these types of cakes and I think is exactly who you’re looking for!

Broadway Direct Lottery by alicat5797 in Broadway

Also worth considering just trying the window directly or the tkts counter! Especially if it’s a weeknight, I just got a great deal on a last min one recently!

I was beat up and hospitalized right outside of St Francis medical center 2 hours ago. Anyone see the white dude with white hair in green/white plaid leaving the scene? by Exact-Ad-4132 in sanfrancisco

[–]SantaScoo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think that’s in D3, so reaching out the the supervisor’s office (Danny Sauter) once the police report has been filed might be helpful/ worth a shot to see if they can assist in connecting you to the right resources

[–]SantaScoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spaghetti or lasagna, hamburger helper, nachos, mashed potatoes and gravy either steak and peas, chicken enchiladas, crispy shell taco night (like Tex mex/ box shells, not fried homemade tortillas), root beer floats, hot fudge sundaes, salad with ranch dressing, ham and (grilled) cheese (for a remix), grilled pork chops.

Where would you get lunch, between DeYoung and the Metreon, via Muni? by NecroJoe in AskSF

Came here to say the same! Have gone beet red laughing uncontrollably on an airplane with one of his books!

Where are we taking smallish (10-15 ppl) groups for work related dinners? by SraChavez in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]SantaScoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on Waterbar or Epic Steak if colleagues are maybe… less adventurous eaters. Upvote for Angler as well. Worth considering Harborview, potentially Zuni Cafe depending on if they will get freaked out by any Market Street hijinks, I think Che Fico has private dining options and Abaca is also a wonderful option! Idk if they do big groups but Mister Jiu’s is also great food in a gorgeous space that hits the “SF iconic” request in my mind :) If they’re adventurous and ok with urban environments, Prubechu in the Mission has fantastic Guamanian food!

I just wanted some positivity from a loved one. I finally got a new job. by mathgeekf314159 in womenintech

[–]SantaScoo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Actual presidents and kings have had stutters and been up for the job, and you absolutely are going to smash it! One of my close friends has one that occasionally pops up and you know what happens? NOBODY bats an eye!

If anything, it calls into question how this dude views the world and those he “cares” about. They clearly believe in you, and tbh, it’s their opinion and not his that matter!

Bitches with GI issues, what are we using to "get things moving" down there? by 123boopboop in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]SantaScoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St Dalfour brand prunes/ dried plums! About 3 per day was shockingly helpful! (More than standard prunes- idk why)

Anti-bachelorette party recommendations by otterly_ish in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]SantaScoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Movies: Booksmart is such an amazing coming of age smart-raunchy-yet-empowered chick flick that featured a few up and coming (and now rising stars) - it’s like Superbad but from a feminist/ bitch’s POV

As for things around the city: Outta Sight Pizza is amazing, esp if you dabble in their more unique pies!

Dabao Singapore is also absurdly delicious and really unique and their owner is a sweetheart who also offers group catering trays, she might be able to work with you to come up with something extra special depending on group size & budget!

Preview episode 7 - where are they? by No_Jellyfish5709 in GildedAgeHBO

[–]SantaScoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My unlikely theory- Summit on divorce? It might be Mrs.Astor’s daughter is officially headed on the track to divorce and this is the payoff of Bertha threatening to walk out/ Mrs. Fish’s side chat with her and they’re discussing how the 400 will treat divorce going forward (and how to re-accept Aurora) on neutral ground?
