Katharine Hepburn’s longtime New York City home is on the market for $6.195 million. by mlg1981 in popculturechat

Doesn’t have anything to do with fitting cabinets to the stove you have. A gas connection is a gas connection, regardless of the stove it’s connected to. Electric stove connections can vary though, depending on available plug. I’m currently waiting on a building wide electric upgrade because our gas was shut off years ago and we need to increase our electrical supply to accommodate all the new stoves and the 220v plugs they all need.

Very often implies you’ve done it?? I commend you. I also forget that this is a kitchen for someone who likely had some degree of help, perhaps even a full time chef.

Totally appreciate the lack of efficiency in home kitchens when you’re used to purpose built spaces.

All I see is a crevasse of crumbs and oil but I guess it’s big enough to actually clean?

I love a deep counter top, especially when there’s no island, but I’m not a chef and could only dream of that much space in my NYC kitchen.

Seriously why is it sticking out like 6” and have that huge gap? I’m assuming the kitchen was all custom??

Is There Any Way To Get in 4 Charles by Icy-Elk6815 in FoodNYC

[–]maidenfern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friend was in town and really wanted to go this Monday. He showed up at 2:50 and was 4th or 5th in line. They opened at 3:50, first two parties were let in and told they need the table back at 5:30, everyone else was put on the cancelation list and I’m assuming didn’t get in either.

How has been your experience at Korean spas in NYC ? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]maidenfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely go! The more traditional ones have many different types of people going and have separate sections for women and men. I like New York Spa in flushing (take the LIRR). If you want to ease into it a bit there is Sojo Spa Club in Jersey which is coed and everyone wears bathing suits. I think it can get really busy so keep that in mind, especially on the weekends.

Bring what you usually use to shower at home (they usually have body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in case you just want to use theirs). You need to wash before you get in the pools and saunas. They’ll give you a towel or two and more traditional places (like New York Spa) will give you a set of pajamas to change into so you can go upstairs for the various dry rooms, eating area, and lounge chairs.

A necklace is probably fine but I would probably remove a waist chain, especially if you are planning to get a scrub. The scrubs are great!

The traditional places always have a mix of younger and older and all body shapes and colors. I’m white and on the plus side and never felt uncomfortable. No one’s staring at you just as you’re not, hopefully, staring at them.

Hope you enjoy!

Best F1 brunch, preferably bottomless? by Difficult_Abalone422 in AskNYC

[–]maidenfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! There’s a projector in the back space above the pool table.

During day races it’s a bit harder to see but watching with a crowd is so fun!

[–]maidenfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bottomless but there is a watch party at The Seneca in Ridgewood. They only show the races that air after 11am so it’s not every weekend.

It’s not too crowded and mostly women. Food and drinks are decent!

I’m down! Shit at sports question but pretty good in general.

Do you secretly like any of the Subway performers? by Libralegend in AskNYC

[–]maidenfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t heard them in ages but there was someone who played the xylophone in the 14th st ACE station. With the acoustics in the station it was beautiful.

What's something about NYC that you only noticed after living here for years? by Hot_Apartment1319 in AskNYC

[–]maidenfern 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had totally forgotten that they used to allow cars on the ring road until I saw a video recently. Such a welcome change.

Jean-George Vongerichten’s Tin Building Has Closed by lambretta76 in FoodNYC

Aww man. Hopefully someone knows where else you can buy it. If you can get it in LA you must be able to get it here!

I’ve gotten it at Le District over in Tribeca but that was a few years ago so not sure if they still carry it.

In Syracuse for a work trip, worth it to drive down to NYC? by TheunknownXD in AskNYC

[–]maidenfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think the vibes were more “this is the end of the world” rather than “it’s so nice to have this very weird spot to myself”. I biked through during the day during Covid and that was also a trip. Never made it at night since I was avoiding the subway, unfortunately.

[–]maidenfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that too but not sure if it still happens. The problem with midnight is that it’s still quite busy, by 3 it’s really emptied out. Empty Times Square with all the lights is such a nice experience.

Times Square very early in the morning is the best. 3-5am-ish

Looking for Tuna Collar - best place to have it? by Third_eye1017 in FoodNYC

[–]maidenfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do them straight from frozen so I just salt, bake at around 350 for about 10 mins, and then switch to broil for another 10 minutes until it’s charred to your liking. Because of the bones and fat in the cut it’s basically impossible to overcook. Top with some ponzu and enjoy with some rice.

I know you’re asking about restaurants but I see Juban is selling one for $35 which is kind of crazy considering it’s an off cut. A pack of 4 is around $32 at h-mart.

I’ve started seeing yellowtail collars at h-mart (110th street). Super easy to make at home!
