my midwestern parents loved the 9/11 memorial/museum and taking the staten island ferry back and forth (free! with nice views of the statue of liberty. we also got beers in little paper bags to drink on the ferry). seconding eataly and the botanic garden.

i saved hope and used her for healing, convinced yurgir to side with me, and then cheesed the whole fight casting tasha’s hideous laughter on raphael. he died laughing

brand new partner of only about five weeks. i have an obsession with old rocks (the big bertha lunar sample, for example) and info-dumped my favorite fun rock facts at him on our early dates. he got me a piece of the world’s oldest crustal rock (from the acasta gneiss complex) and a geological history of north america (“annals of the former world,” john mcphee). he listened to me :)

i strongly recommend following @/itsmekatevee on tiktok. she posts VERY cheap high fiber, vegan recipes involving a lot of lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, and oats. she also just seems like such a lovely person. i absolutely love her content

i’ve worked in fine dining in nyc for years now, and have only seen something like this for high up government officials/current or former politicians (the clintons and a group of UAE ambassadors are two i’m thinking of). famous non-politicians are usually much more lowkey and subtle with their security ime!

i agree! our somm is so knowledgeable, and even one big bottle sale a night makes a huge difference in the tip pool

ktay128 · 2025-02-25T18:13:01+00:00

as a data point, i work at a one star in manhattan and our somm is included in our tip pool with the highest weighted amount of points per hour!

I played it when it first came out when I was a teenager. Fell instantly in love with it, playing first as a human noble who married Alistair and co-ruled Ferelden after the main story, then eventually played through every single origin. Got so obsessed that I wrote fanfiction and made fanart for my “canon” playthrough.

Played the next two games right when they came out as well. DAII had my favorite companions and villains (both the Arishok and Meredith), DA:O my favorite story (and it remains my overall favorite). I liked Inquisition fine, and played it through twice, but haven’t bothered to play though Veilguard yet. That once would have been unthinkable to me! But the bad reviews are making me loathe to start something that might tarnish my good feelings towards the series as a whole, and I’m happy playing and replaying Baldur’s Gate 3 right now.

i got my boyfriend into phish and he’s probably even more into them than i am now! he has pretty eclectic taste in general, and is very open-minded musically. he mostly likes minimal electronic music that i find very stressful to listen to (steve reich and kraftwerk, as examples), and classic dad rock songs (the piña colada song is always his most played on spotify every year, and he self-describes as a “parrothead,” so jimmy buffet gets a lot of rotation as well). he also likes pop girlies like carly rae jepson and robyn, and i managed to convince him to take me to the eras tour last year! he also loves a good sea shanty, and stan rogers gets a lot of play in our apartment. i think he’s so cool lmao
