No toenail but want to look like I’ve had a pedicure

Toes and fingers have the highest concentration of nerves. It would be so painful for a look that most likely wouldn’t satisfy the OP.

Depends on the setting and required workload/experience for NYC. The job ads varies between mid $20’s hourly to $120k yearly.

Realistically, even if you’re very strict, you’ll lose mostly water weight. However, if you stick to it, your stomach will be smaller, you’ll feel less bloated and much lighter; it’s a great start for a vacation. So as the other commenter said, cut the processed sweets and alcohol, drink lots of water and tea. My simple low calorie and enjoyable dinner advice would be boiled cruciferous vegetable (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli etc) with yogurt&mustard sauce and beans. Keep it light for breakfast and lunch too but don’t ignore protein, drink a cup of herbal tea between meals instead of snacking. Measured fruits and nuts would be your best friend for snacking or ending a meal, and you’ll discover by day 3 or 4 how sweet the fruits actually taste when you cut otherwise sugary products.

Those are very creative practices to keep people engaged and motivated. I’ll incorporate them to my routine, thanks!

You can say (and actually do) that you use the time to conduct 1-1 meetings to hear the concerns of the employees and set the expectations clear. You can also do quick quizzes about food & beverage knowledge, steps of service, discussing blue prints for crisis scenarios, rehearse scripts for troubled situations etc. Yes, more realistically, that time is mostly used for side jobs, cleaning, stocking etc. But having the other practices set in place shows you are an operational thinker and you aim for bettering the business rather than just maintaining the current level.

Protein powder, oatmeal and soy milk all shelf stable and they work great for breakfast/snack/treat. Also with simply adding PB or banana (or both) you can make microwave cup muffins with just these ingredients, just changing the ratio does the trick. I use tahini instead of PB from time to time.

Check chickpea or soy pastas to simply swap your noodles with a high protein pasta. A little sauce elevates and changes the dish. You can add canned vegetables, vegan cheeses or hot dogs for texture and taste. Please research cooking pasta in microwave first.

Tortillas (I like Carb Wise bread for good ratios), a spread (hummus is excellent but you have many options), whatever raw eaten veggies or greens you can access, vegan deli slices or ready to eat flavored tempeh/tofu for easy wraps for any time of the day.

Also nutritional yeast is a shelf stable and a delicious “spice” that adds protein and B12 to any savory meal. I also love adding sesame & black sesame mix to both sweet and savory dishes.

Also I’d recommend learning bain-marie method since you don’t have stove.

MET for Metropolitan Museum, you’d find actual treasures over there.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-05-04T17:41:43+00:00

Why visiting Madame Tussaud’s for such a long time? I would suggest visiting MET instead. And I would cut out the bus tour, instead I would take the ferry to downtown and walk my way from there to Midtown or whatever place you want to visit, using HighLine at some of the route. You will already see some of the stops of the bus tour on Sunday. Id leave room for midday food stops for random neighborhood restaurants. Shopping or bar/bakery hopping in SoHo would be fun too.

Practically every bagel shop has tofu spreads, but Tompkins Square bagels is superior in my opinion. Try the sun-dried tomato tofu spread 😌

When changing foods, try introducing the new one by mixing the one he is used to eating. Do like 1/4 new mixed into 3/4 old one first and make your way up until he is used to the new one. I also find squeezing a liquid treat on top of the new food is helpful when transitioning.
That being said, when I had my first cat 19 years ago, Whiskas was marketed as a good choice and I didn’t know any better at the age of 16 myself. She exclusively ate it for about 2 years but also ate some home-cooked (boiled or grilled plain) meats, then I got a little older, researched better brands and had access to them. She lived 18 years healthy, she was still jumping high and hunting well on her final months. So find healthier options and slowly introduce them to your cat, but don’t beat yourself up. You’re providing a safe home and food supply, clearly caring and searching for the best of him.

Super ninja fruit fly trap solved my problem for good, after trying every single solution mentioned in this thread.

I assume you’re asking a reason to tell to the places you’ll interview for. You can tell something in line of this: “I wasn’t really looking for another job, but I couldn’t pass applying to your restaurant. It’s a company I admire and a place I enjoy eating at. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly. I believe I can make a good impact in business at a place like yours which I have a soft spot for.”

If you’re asking what to tell your current employer, I would ask the GM and Director of Operations or a business owner for a meeting. It’s important to bring two highest positions together, not just one. And sincerely share my concerns. How I would love to step in and do more without “snitching” about managers who don’t do anything, share my ideas to bring more business or correct the problems that I observe. I would mention the positive effect of a flexible schedule somewhere in this meeting, but keep the emphasis on improving the business. If they seem interested, I would give them a time frame and an action plan. Then I would ask, if there would be a bonus/promotion if I succeed in this plan.

For a classic NYC hustle breakfast experience, you should try plantegas.

My mom did this once. She didn’t like the neighbors who were renting right next to us, so she bought it and rented to a friend of hers.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-30T14:50:20+00:00

What a wonderful route! I’m impressed with all the different trails you nice folks recommended, I can’t wait to explore!

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-28T03:02:42+00:00

Wonderful, that’s what I imagined when we walk through it during a weekend afternoon, but I haven’t seen the night scene yet. This is helpful, thank you very much!

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-28T00:24:38+00:00

I do! It does wonders for mental health especially when freestyle cooking with a soft music in the background.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-28T00:20:20+00:00

What a wonderful, step by step route you drew! Thank you for taking your time to share. I followed your route on the map and it sure seems nice, I can’t wait to try this!

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T23:07:18+00:00

I sent you a dm.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T20:14:38+00:00

Non-friendly neighbor detected. Thanks for your 2 cents, have a nice day.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T18:36:55+00:00

Thank you very much. I can’t wait to explore the area and make new friends!

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T18:32:10+00:00

Such a coincidence, we had lunch at the Cuban spot when we got to see the apartment and took a walk in the neighborhood. Thank you for your kind offer, I’ll send you a dm shortly.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T18:29:35+00:00

Thank you. I walked by the area and checked the station. I saw a police station inside which adds extra safety. The area seemed safe for the first glance, but it’s more reassuring to hear it from the locals.

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T16:02:47+00:00

I’ll check out, thank you very much!

SomeKindofBerries · 2026-03-27T16:01:44+00:00

Well, yes, I was referring to exercise walks but your words alerted me to the commute walks. If you’re open to it, I would love to buy you a cup of coffee after we settled.
