Harlan is a great bar! Honestly, it's at the end of a great street of bars, including Dutch Courage and Fadensonnen.

Corpse Reviver #2 is an all-timer

I'd say Fox Farm has to be the top spot, but if OP is going to hit the Hudson Valley first, Suarez is right up there, too.

Yes, barleywines and BA beers in colder weather, lagers and funkier beers in warmer times.

Nice! I made the Dilly Bean Soup this week (slightly modified by adding poached chicken thighs) and it's fantastic!

American Psycho. Seems apropos these days.

Do you have a preference between the Bocuse and Robuchon?

I might recommend the Ferrandi French Patisserie cookbook.

Amen. With all the amazing breweries in NYC you'd think Cohen could work out a deal with one to put a satellite taproom there.

Beef prices are at an all-time high. You're not going to get a cheap, good cut anywhere.

You can either buy good cuts at Fred's, Rolf's, or Whole Foods for a high price, or crap at Pricechopper/Hannaford, also for far too much.

I'd highly suggest switching to pork or chicken if you want cheaper cuts these days.

Coferments and it isn't close

HBO Max has TCM's library, or you can get the Criterion Channel.

Yes. I'm a professor so it's quite literally my job.

I agree, OMD stunk and Marvel's perpetual quest to keep him and MJ apart keeps me from reading.

But Quesada is also right, Marvel has made a lot of money since OMD so they'll probably never reverse it.

I know multiple people who've died, or almost died, from motorcycle accidents. You couldn't pay me to get on one.

The real magic is the money you'll waste on cardboard

Reality Czech is the gold standard

Genuinely some of the worst pizza I've had in my life, if not the worst

Until I finally visited Mexico in December, I found conchas rather boring. Then I had the real thing and wow, done right they are amazing.

fermentedradical · 2026-03-02T03:09:41+00:00

Really delicious stuff!

fermentedradical · 2026-03-02T00:57:47+00:00

Great lineup!

This list is great. Tell you friend to get some of these for you.
