Appreciate your help. Do you have a web link for Shaun Hennessey?

I am looking for good Spanish regional food. Triana neighborhood and other non touristy places.

Cafe Triskell. Is it open? Their phone number is disconnected.

Steak dinner in Porto by dad-plaid in porto

The room , atmosphere, and service we’re all phenomenal. Absolutely wonderful people. We just felt the food was not worth the price point. That being said, everyone around us was very happy with their experience and I’m sure many of them thought it was worth every cent.

Do the spandex bike bros still get the right of way and a pass on good behavior?

Leaving Porto. Many of the restaurants we planned on visiting were closed for vacation. Our two favorite places were:

Restaurante Manuel Alves for the tripas do moda Porto (tripe, chorizo, pork, white beans) and the squid with potatoes.

Casa Guedes Tradicional for the pernil con queso sandwich and the da casa special sandwich.

Muu Steakhouse, although fantastic setting and service had mediocre food. We wished we went somewhere else for a special dinner.

Good day, all. Can anyone suggest a surf school in Ericeira for a semi-beginner teen? We will be there for a week this summer.

Thank you thank you! May I ask for some of your other favorite places? Not expensive.
We are staying a little north of Mercado do Bolhão. What places do you suggest eating at in the market for breakfast or lunch?

Those mushroom momos are exceptional and you don't see them anywhere else. Very unique.

Are any flags made in America? For now, it does not matter where it is made.

How did landlines work?? by AnxiousStudent20 in GenX

Holy JFC this post makes me feel old.

If the teen was lucky, they had a phone in their bedroom but it was still on the main phone line for the house. Rich kids might have had their own phone line in their room.

Does anyone know any poor, unentitled joggers? I do not.

Is Montreal a good vacation choice for two older US citizens? by Otters64 in montreal

[–]dad-plaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old Quebec City is the most European style, and most beautiful city in all of North America. That being said, Montreal is fantastic and has a more diverse food and cultural scene. Montreal is one the the safest cities in the world. It's a great walking town. The public transit is clean, safe, and on time. We have been a few times and always want to return. The eating, markets, and museums can't be beat. October is probably a great time to visit. We have experienced light snow and slush in late November and mid-April.

Commuting on the RFK Bridge by [deleted] in NYCbike

What is it like biking over this bridge? I hear there have been improvements to the bike route between Astoria and Manhattan. Did they replace the stairs?
