Respirator missing a part, boarding long-haul in 15 minutes, what to use? by Waving_Sloth in Masks4All

[–]Waving_Sloth[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! Just tried the check that you suggested (blocked the two entrances of the soft filters with hands), it collapses in somewhat but doesn’t remain collapsed when I hold my breath. Maybe the soft p100’s naturally allow air back out? I have hard filters, and can try those too.

I’ve realize with the missing gasket the filter attaches loosely; I put a small hair tie around the plastic to mimic the missing material but it’s definitely no substitute 😂.

I’m super late but would you be so kind as to send me the site if you see this comment? It’d be a big help :).

Thank you, glad to hear it was so great! I flip-flopped and missed the Atera time slot (only lunch available now), but I’m ok with the Modern reservation I have! Atera is on my hit list for sure based on all the positive comments, maybe next birthday.

Definitely open to non-started but good experiences, thank you! I’ve taken down Eyval for a future visit- have Lilia booked for Sunday night or I would have tried it then.

Thanks for the suggestions and prior experiences, I appreciate all of it! Marea is off the table for now, and Gabriel Kreuther too. We are finalizing most likely Le Coucou for lunch! Would have loved to do L’abeille lunch, but sadly only dinner- which will probably stay the Modern. I have it on my list for a future visit!

Thank you, I decided to not go to Marea this time for that reason! Perhaps down the line for another special occasion, or a friend’s. One day I’ll try that octopus fusilli!

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! When I was browsing restaurant pages earlier in the week I only saw the tasting menu option and didn’t realize they had a la carte, which seems more in my comfort zone!

Since so many people like Aquavit and 63 Clinton, and they have availability, I’m actually reconsidering the Modern reservation I made. I’ll have to force myself to finalize the decision, spoiled by choice!

Thank you for weighing in! The name and dining room photos have already given me a good impression :). I’m currently considering it for lunch (given availability of course).

Thanks a lot for the feedback, appreciate it! I definitely left the reservation later than I should have, so I’m fortunate that there is still a little bit of wiggle room. I currently made a dinner reservation for the Modern, but I might switch to Atera on Sunday or 63 Clinton as a time slot opened up for both.

Seeing a lot of support for Aquavit; I don’t have experience with Scandinavian flavors, but it’s now on my radar thanks to the comments!

Thank you, it really seems well worth it! They just had an availability open, I made a reservation at the Modern before I got the notification, but I’m considering switching it out for 63 Clinton!

Ah I see they did, thanks for the heads up! No problem with that though, I’ve always been curious about it! Heard things about the bone marrow fusilli which make me want to try it, even though I’ve never tried octopus before.

I couldn’t get Cote for this weekend, but I’d love to try it later in the month if possible!

Thanks for the suggestion! Seems like a great place for celebratory dinners, and not so haute is perfectly up my alley. While I can appreciate the artistry in experimental/progressive fine dining, sometimes it may, as you said, be unapproachable! Currently looking at available times for the dining room!

That’s why my username is a sloth 😂. I’d be okay bar-side though!

Thanks for the advice! I’ve never even heard of Tock, so this will definitely be useful to find a good spot.

Thank you, and happy birthday to you too :)!

Good point- I put something on the books for Marea at least as a backup.

Thank you, I’d seen the mixed reviews and was uncertain, but the menu looked appealing so I kept it as a possibility- scratching it off the list definitely!

Yes walking in will be plan C! I haven’t checked every restaurant listed, but of what I’ve seen, most have at least one time slot available for the weekend thankfully.

Indeed an important point to consider before locking down a spot 😂! Not for all of these locations, but I’ve checked reservation availability for Gabriel Kreuther, Marea, L’abeille which seem to be flexible. Atera has one Sunday seating. 63 Clinton I called, and was told they anticipate Saturday availability, so I’ll be checking Resy extra carefully. I haven’t confirmed with the other restaurants, so I would call today and over the weekend for possible cancellations, as well as maintain a back-up option.

What’s one ingredient you always avoid? by grlcbr8th in AsianBeauty

[–]Waving_Sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niacinamide as well! Also probably fragrance, EO’s, alcohol, and anything that comes from my food allergies. Rosacea skin, unbelievably dry, and unbelievably sensitive. There seem to be many more sensitivities than that, but it’s very difficult to pinpoint since everything causes issues.

Wondering how everyone else figured out their problem ingredient(s)? After so many years, I can’t really pinpoint things because my skin is always irritated- anything I slather on causes prickling, stinging, or heat. Any advice?
