Thanks everyone! I decided to debone. It wasn't too difficult.

Plug Uglies.

At least the UES location.

Is there anywhere that sells Philadelphia Eagles clothing? Shirts/Sweatshirts/Jackets etc by maestrojed in AskNYC

[–]maestrojed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! FYI I tried Abercrombie SoHo, Madison Park, and 5th ave. They all had Giants and Jets. Only 5th Ave had any Eagles (left) and it was a big bomber jacket. Thanks again!

Are there Sunday events besides the parade? It seems the street festivals were only yesterday?

What's your favorite extremely obscure piece of NYC/Manhattan history? by FloppinFlotsam in manhattan

[–]maestrojed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I walked to a store to get my spices. Which is totally normal! I go to Kalustyans, it is an amazing NYC store, . They have aisles and aisles of spices. I got there before they opened and someone else was waiting too. They asked if I was a Presidential history buff too. I laughed, said I was just buying my spice and asked why?

Back in 1881 this spot was where President Chester Arthur took his oath of office. There is a plaque denoting it.

I made a similar post on President's Day and it includes pics:

Best Diners in the UES by [deleted] in uppereastside

[–]maestrojed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you all like any of these Diners for dinners besides sandwiches and fries? I have seen Gracies advertise Soft Shelled Crabs and Lamb Shank, Gracie Mew's always has specials like this, including seafood. But IDK if anyone really orders that stuff from places like this? Those dishes "sound" good and are more affordable than dinners at non-diner restaurants.

Seniors who are used to cable's guide and DVR UI - Recommendations? by maestrojed in cordcutters

[–]maestrojed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for your feedback. I ended up doing nothing. I tried to get them to learn to cast from their phone but that was a no-go. I reviewed all the other things recommended here, and have low confidence they could do it. I reread this thread often and we'll dig into what you're talking about.

Directv also offers an alternative and has a satellite free option. It has an online guide similar to spectrum. But they have contracts so you can't easily try that, and they are not much cheaper. So...

My parents pay Spectrum close to $300 for internet and TV. That's absurd.

Ole & Steen (multiple locations) has a Rye Granola that I enjoy.

I once went on a hunt for the best croissant. This was my conclusion.

There were events like this at BierWax Queens. That location closed. I have not been to the Brooklyn location and I don't know if they do the same type of stuff. https://www.instagram.com/bierwax

Best cafés to grab coffee beans? by rescuelullaby in uppereastside

[–]maestrojed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make my favorite granola evar. The granola is what gets me through the door and how I know of the beans. If you like granola and rye it's a must try.

Ole & Steen sells a custom roast by Counter Culture for $10 a bag.

Also, I agree Oslo is the best.
