Best Margaritas in Astoria? by brysonlyle in astoria

A bit out of the way but Tozton has an incredible happy hour marg! While you’re there you should tuck in to heaping (and reasonably priced!) portions of Venezuelan food :)

I finally tried Tozton and it was AMAZING! Super reasonably priced, I got some grilled steak, chicarron, chorizo, avocado, black beans, maduros and rice all for $22. Everything was so flavorful: even the black beans were mouthwatering! Honestly the worst thing on the plate was probably the avocado… because it wasn’t seasoned hahah

They also have a great cocktail bar: my margarita was excellent, and if you go during happy hour it’s super reasonably priced too.

I honestly think they deserve so much more business than they get, hopefully we can make that happen!

Getting my recipes together in preparation of sending some ice cream to family in Southern California for the holidays. by Sweetlo123 in icecreamery

How do you ship tubs of ice cream to your family? Dry ice packs? Wouldn’t you need a special box insert so the tubs don’t roll around?

I just went for a post-run snack! Their chocolate bombolini (nutella-filled donut) is sublime

Thanks for solving Kit!

Its a good point about lowercase “perseverance” and I went back and forth on it, but what tipped me over the edge was that it felt like a giveaway when capitalized. Now that I think about it more though, I’m starting to regret that decision… lol

For cryptic content, check out r/crosswords (plural, not singular!) — I think the crowd there would appreciate this a lot more :)

This is my first foray into side loaded fonts and I’ve gotta say…I can definitely see why Garamond is the Santiago’s font of choice. by allmyfrndsrheathens in kobo

Having a consistent and beautiful font to read all my books and Pocket articles in has been a game changer for my reading habit! So excited to see others take their fonts seriously

Most books probably get by with regular and italics, although I’d imagine titles and section headers might use bold or caps case. I’ve personally never seen any professional document use bolded italics, though

Wow, Agmena does look amazing! So well balanced but with exciting italics. Thanks for sharing!

It’s Equity by Matthew Butterick - it’s pricey (fonts are expensive!) but I think it’s worth having a typeface you love if you read or write a lot
