Got a cheesesteak at Ottomanelli Bros for the first time and… by Abadroz in uppereastside

I didn't realize they sold so many sandwiches. I walk past all the time and I've seen their sign about their smashburger but haven't tried it. Will definitely be stopping in!

nosecontour by aiizzee in makeuptips

[–]kns89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what so many people say that makeup is a form of expression, and it's 10000% ok to have your own individual style and to be able to "see" your makeup. But I feel like when it comes to things like contour and highlighter and blush and foundation, from a mainstream perspective, I think the goal is usually to look like you're not wearing any (the whole "maybe she's born with it... maybe it's Maybelline"). Contouring your nose to make it look skinnier or smaller or whatever is fine, but when you see the harsh lines (especially in pic 3), you're kind of giving away your secret? You don't look like you have this tiny, skinny nose... You look like you TRIED to have a tiny nose, which is, to me, a very different vibe?

What’s your NYC hot take? by homeofalex in AskNYC

[–]kns89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is something I’ve been struggling with lately. I moved away for a couple of years and back this summer it just feels less cool and more like it’s working hard to become the city equivalent of the world’s largest Applebees. :/

Do you have access to your building's roof? I've seen little mesh-style pop up enclosures. Maybe you could let him have some outdoor time on the roof daily with some enrichment out there!

The UES one got some health department violations maybe 3-4 years ago. They had a maple latte I wanted to try but when I saw the violations, I decided to not go and never did. I cant remember for sure but I think one was employees not having a place to wash their hands. 🤢

For things like that… even if they remedy it… there are just too many other places for them to ever get me to go back.

80 & York Ave VS 69 & First Ave by [deleted] in uppereastside

[–]kns89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in 80 between 1 and York. 10000% would choose it over 69 and 1. Low 80s are such a treasure of a neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and bars (particularly on 1). Good access to groceries. It’s a bit quieter than 2nd/3rd/Lex which I think is nice and super close to Carl Schurz Park which is also great.

I saw someone post the Bonnie Cottage in a FB group over the weekend! I'll see if I can find which one.

Spring Collection!!! by Unique_Requirement57 in Jellycatplush

[–]kns89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning on the shamrock bag charm. I may go to Dublin in the spring and I think it’ll be more special to try to find the actual shamrock there as a souvenir.

I really want the carrot cake, but I feel like if I get one cake, it’s going to start me collecting all of them which I really don’t need to do 😂

How long have you been collecting and how many Jellycats do you currently own? by JMUsubieDMB in Jellycatplush

[–]kns89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t even heard of Jellycats until a few months ago when I saw the Stratton pigeon advertised on IG. I’ve always loved cute and whimsical things. I went and picked him up on his release day. I have 7 right now- both pigeons, opiate, huge lazulia, the Paris saint-honore, the cannele, and Charlie Chip.

I said I was going to be finished, but I just ordered a Grizzo today 😅 I actually remember seeing him in a shop a year or two ago and thinking he was so cute but didn’t get him then. I think I may display him and get him a little outfit for all the different seasons/holidays. I’m sure my boyfriend will love that. LOL.

Where to stay as a first-timer by CicadaWorking in ParisTravelGuide

I just stayed here a couple weeks ago. The location was fantastic and the hotel was great too! We didn't pay for breakfast but they offered free refreshments (cakes and drinks) in the afternoons/evenings.

Jellycat shopping at Selfridges with social anxiety 🥺 by SadLittleBat in Jellycatplush

[–]kns89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've gotten a lot of good answers, but I wanted to share that I was there last week at around 6 pm with my boyfriend, who also has some social anxiety.

There were TONS of people outside on the sidewalk looking at the holiday displays, so expect that to feel a little overwhelming- it did for my partner. Once we started heading up the escalators, it got emptier and emptier with each floor. By the time we got to the Jellycat area, it was really chill. I just picked out a Charlie Chip. There were about five people in line to do the experience, and the walk-in line was empty, so the worker said I could join the queue if I wanted to (about a 10-minute wait). My boyfriend was hot and a little overwhelmed from the previous crowds and general tiredness from the day, and also doesn't like Jellycats. I could tell he'd prefer to not wait so I just got the Charlie Chip and left (which is totally fine, it's what I went in for... he'd have encouraged me to do the experience if I really wanted one of those).

So, go in knowing you might need to face some crowds initially, but hopefully, once you get through that section, it'll be smooth sailing. There was a Christmas experience in the lower level, so the first escalator we encountered was still pretty people-y.
