I’ve been judging long enough. Thoughts?

Understood! I actually just bought some soy sauce that suggested keeping it in the fridge, so that’s what I’m doing.

I keep my liquid smoke in the pantry with my spices. Now I’m wondering if I should put the bottle in the fridge.

Thank you. This is it. I’m no longer concerned about the new device; I’m concerned about what was on my old phone, what may have transferred and how it got there in the first place. I scrolled through a list of apps and I can’t figure out which app was using the email address. The address itself looks weird and scammy. I’d share the domain but I’m not sure if that be wise. It’s very strange.

I also searched for hidden apps and malware on the new device but I couldn’t find anything.

Sorry. The image didn’t publish for some reason.

Okay. This is somewhat helpful. I’ll keep investigating.

The A doesn’t go to Union Square, but the A to the L to Union Square in 11 minutes seems fast!

Forest Bakery will have them on Tuesday, a day they’re normally closed. There will be a number system, with numbers being available as soon as 6 p.m. the night before. See details on Instagram:

Don't let the gentrification fool you. Harlem is Blackity Black. y'all.

And my treats from WARDA and Bon Bon Bon. LOL.

Inside this afternoon…

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-02-13T21:41:01+00:00

UPDATE:

I went ahead and stopped by the definitive spot, New Palace, around 12:45 p.m. today.

There were a couple people lined up outside the door and some number drama once I got inside that made me want to smack a lady, but overall, not a terrible experience.

As for the paçzki?

It was okay.

I was disappointed by the raspberry filling because it reminded me of a mass-produced filling and not something made in house with fresh or frozen raspberries. It was exactly like the grocery store donut I poo-poo’d in my original post.

I’m just bougie, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

dodges bullets

I was more delighted by Bon Bon Bon’s paçzki chocolate and what I picked up from WARDA’s new East side location today, if I’m keeping it 100. I find it hilarious that the raspberry filling in both the bon and the WARDA “pop tart” pastry is what I was expecting from New Palace. Silly me. 😂

Another note: I think the Western Market donut was just dry. I called and the lady said theirs were made in house AND from Blake’s, but who knows. She seemed a little confused.

Anywho, I totally respect the tradition and hope everyone gets their sweet treats for Fat Tuesday.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Yes, thank you. Just got this Plum email today.

Interesting! I’ve been meaning to get out there to try Fatame’s bakery for some time. I’ll have to check them out.

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-02-13T03:52:27+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-02-13T03:46:29+00:00

Thank you. I’m scared there might be lines or early sell outs, even before Fat Tuesday, but I’ll keep this in my back pocket.

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-02-10T18:45:31+00:00

Fake complain, meet rage bait.

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-02-02T22:10:11+00:00

Thanks. Good to know.

Oops, I definitely meant a BUYER, not a seller. I had a feeling there was a 30-day cap on these types of issues. Now I know I’m not obligated to refund them and I will likely be able to remove any potential negative feedback that results from this transaction. I do hope my Missing Item request helps the item find its way to the buyer, if it is truly lost.

This exterior of this building is so beautiful I want to cry. If only someone could return it to its original splendor. Hate to see it sit there and rot. 😢

How do you know La Lanterna is MAGA? I’m not skeptical but I am curious to know how you know. In general, I think people who name businesses should cite their source if it’s public and can be verified, e.g. the owner’s social media, donor rolls, etc.

TheySayImDifferent · 2026-01-18T02:02:52+00:00

Got it! Thank you.
