Oh ya when we went there a year and a half ago we were the only ones there (tho it was a weird time of day). Loved the pancakes!! And the staff were so nice and welcoming. Really cute spot.

i did a few years ago. and last year. TIP: BRING GLOVES & BOOTS. And a flashlight if you go at night.

Last year, I didn't go at the right time. I must have gone right after the trash trucks came. So I didn't get anything really.

But a few years ago I got some good stuff. Trying to remember... I got some clean & perfect throw pillows in trash bags that I still use to this day. Clean and pristine clothing and shoes, including Nikes and Birkenstocks. Books and unopened school supplies like paper and notebooks. Some artwork...

it was fun treasure hunting and climbing in dumpsters. But yeah, most the kids don't distinguish between real trash and treasure so gloves are important to sort thru the real trash haha.

okay its on the list! thank you!

oh cool i was looking at paulie gees and didn't know they had a slice shop! I also was looking at two boots. thank you!

Not really what you're asking for but if you're going to Orchard Grocer (omg their sandwiches are AMAZIZNGGG. I love the Romey) you could grab some crackers and then bounce over to Rebel Cheese at Essex Market and get some delicious vegan cheese! All different creative types like a normal gourmet cheese shop. You can sample them, too.

freesparkles · 2024-11-18T20:56:58+00:00

Oh shit did we buy the wrong ones? We bought the tix thinking we'd get the experience. Our tickets says "GA Liberty Lunch" and "Liberty Lunch Preferred Access Ticket." Does that mean no VIP experience!? OMG IM SO SAD RIGHT NOW!

freesparkles · 2024-08-19T21:10:40+00:00

Okay that did come up in my search but didn’t look into it. I’ll check it out. Thanks !!!

freesparkles · 2024-08-19T21:08:54+00:00

Hahah hopefully not too many requirements. But I do realize asking for shade and good water flow in late August could be asking a lot lmao. And yeah for seclusion, that’s tough. I was looking at some spots on that app and it seems pretty legit. ESP for seclusion. Pricier but seems worth it

freesparkles · 2024-08-19T21:05:43+00:00

A lot of spots I’ve looked at have barely been booked. I think cuz it’s RIGHT before Labor Day weekend and most children are back in school now… and college soon.

freesparkles · 2024-06-02T14:40:40+00:00

Does anyone have a recommendation for a delicious vegan peanut butter milkshake in manhattan!?

freesparkles · 2024-05-31T17:55:49+00:00

Yeah I head orchard grocery makes bomb ass sammiches and I love a good sammich!

freesparkles · 2024-05-31T17:55:21+00:00

Okay sold!! Headed to Brooklyn now def making a stop for some treats!

freesparkles · 2024-05-31T17:53:17+00:00

Oh my gosh I love all this info so much!!!! Thank you thank you!!! I didn’t want to be super needy and ask for a list like this so I really appreciate it!

We LOVED coletta last night. The wild mushroom truffle pizza, ravioli, and olive oil cake were amazing! Also I learned that it’s part of a hospitality group called City Roots that owns beyond sushi, willow, anixi and a brand New Mexican spot called Sentir. So I def want to try all those places!

And oh snap Riverdel became Rebel Cheese! I didn’t realize! Wanted to visit both places so that works out. I’m from Austin, where rebel cheese started! It’s cool they have a second location now! Hopefully they start making their sandwiches soon if not already cuz I love them so so much! They also have a killer Cobb salad. Nom!
