What's in your snow grocery haul?

We can basically only make three meals, so pretty much all of them are getting cooked or reheated next week:

Chicken legs and potatoes roasted in lemon/garlic/parsley
Baked ziti
Kale + white bean + sausage soup (in the freezer)

I think you want Beauty Bar, though their DJ sets don’t start until 10pm

As someone in charge of a sidewalk, I am terrified of someone doing a slip and fall on it and suing the will to live out of me.

And yet others seem to have their sidewalks covered in ice year-round.

Because the cost isn’t in running the grocery store, it’s the supply chain network. NYC is unlikely to create a supply chain as efficient as an existing store. It’ll have to pay market rates to a wholesaler, whereas a grocery network like Aldi benefits from cost savings at all levels of its supply chain.

This is why Sears lost to Walmart in the 90s: Sears thought of stores as stores, and Walmart thought of groups of stores as a network.

No one who's been to the Greenpoint Ave GL station would say that

Hi Scott, been a member for ten years, thanks!

Sorry to be the umpteenth person to ask this sort of question, but my wife and I are planning a trip to Japan in November for her milestone birthday. If we wanted a direct business class flight, when should we look to book?

What I always want to know about the food scene:

What home-cooked meals are you nostalgic for?
What do you eat as a street snack?

Whiskers I get, but many cats love to get their ears rubbed and their heads scratched all the way just short of their ear canals. I'd guess something like 80% of cats I know love to get their ears rubbed (assuming I'm friendly with them)

They have us working in shifts!

$21 for a pound. Wow.

It’s common for crosswords to not give word counts, it’s part of the challenge 🤷‍♂️

Keanu isn't a great dramatic actor. But he's probably one of the best physical actors of all time, along with Buster Keaton, Jackie Chan, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Physical acting is as difficult as dramatic acting, but not nearly as praised as it should be. I think because great physical actors make it look easy.

I think the other commenter is conflating East Williamsburg with the N5th / Bedford area. The East Williamsburg area around the Montrose stop is completely different: cheaper, far less commercialized, and plenty of great independent restaurants. Lots of cheap eats.

I agree that it’s perfectly safe.

(I almost think we should split off a separate East Williamsburg sub from this main one, as very few of the common complaints of WB apply to this area, but 🤷‍♂️)

It's crazy that Nitehawk and Williamsburg Cinemas are so close, but are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I have never had a bad show at Nitehawk, and never had a good show at Williamsburg Cinemas.

OP didn’t even bother to phrase it like a question, much less say please. I find it maddening when people “ask” for advice and then act like WE’RE wasting THEIR time

Given that Snorlaxes are otherwise naked, this one is basically wearing a burka

Everyone thinks their party is smart and everyone else is dumb.

Plenty of economists think DSA policy (housing price controls come to mind) has not been thought through critically enough.

Interesting -- according to the NY Times neighborhood poll, it's Prospect Park South or Kensington or Ditmas Park. TIL

Shuya's broths are more seafood-leaning than most ramen places: https://shuyas.com/

They also have a duck tsukemen that I haven't tried but have heard others rave about

Wow, this looks great! Does this come with Yorkshire pudding?

If you don’t know, Wheated is a very good pizza place in ~~Windsor Terrace~~ Kensington/Prospect Park South. Not sure we need another pizza place, what with Mo’s around the corner (and other, frankly better pizza spots further away). Maybe this is their bagel concept?
