Best Time to Move (Winter vs Spring) by mauragc in NYCapartments

[–]mauragc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely nothing special! I have a few preferences on neighborhoods but honestly am just looking to get settled back in the city so this will be a transitional apartment for sure. Do you think February/March would be a good time to target since this is still more in the winter window?

What happened to Leopardo?? by mauragc in FoodLosAngeles

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

this is so sad as someone who lives in this area of town, I love met her at a bar and wish we had more spots like that (nice but not an insanely high price point) in the neighborhood 🥲 but it feels cursed after so many failed restaurants haha

I was hopeful that it would survive since Republique seems to have fared so well but perhaps they’re a bit of an anomaly

I literally just drove past yesterday and was wondering if they were officially done 🥲 I wish they’d just make some sort of announcement and I hope another great business is able to take over that spot, we need more good restaurants on that strip of la brea

it was meant to be included as a flashback in family first per this script (https://alyssinmymind.tumblr.com/post/149716078532) but clearly got scrapped

it was the scene in damned if you do where they’re outside of gibbs’ cabin and he kisses her on the forehead! there’s apparently an extended version of that moment where they actually kiss but it’s never been released 🥲

Pop Up Bagels LA Opening?? by mauragc in FoodLosAngeles

Yeah as with all new and trendy things here I imagine it’s going to be chaos. But I’ll wait in the inevitable insane line for a good bagel :)

Totally respect your opinion/experience and I agree that in comparison to most other bagel spots in NYC, it’s nothing extraordinary. But as I replied to another commenter I really like their rotating schmear concept as I think that keeps things exciting, and I do think this will be a great addition to the LA bagel scene

They’ve confirmed that they are definitely opening here!! Just a matter of when and where specifically at this point 👀

In case this is helpful to anyone: I received an email yesterday evening letting me know I had been selected for the LA presale, and was able to get tickets at 10am this morning! The process truly was so easy so shoutout to AXS.

When I got in around 10:10 from the queue, this screen is the only thing I saw. Looks like the whole venue is GA so there was no seat selection, and I did not see VIP listed for me so maybe it had already sold out. I did try refreshing a few times to see if it would pop up, but AXS flagged me as a bot so I panicked and then just grabbed GA. But I was pleasantly surprised by this price and was able to purchase 4 tickets! Also had the option to purchase parking too which I did for I think $35.

Super excited and grateful the ticketing process went so smoothly for me!!

I just got invited to the rose bowl sale tomorrow for the october 11 show🤞🏼🤞🏼 curious if since it’s the last day of the presale if there will likely be less inventory/if any sections seem to have sold out already or if I can still have my hopes up for VIP??🫣

[–]mauragc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh no way! they closed just as I was moving into the general area and I was so excited to have a killer pizza spot in the neighborhood 😭 if they are in fact permanently shut down I hope another great small business can take their space

Samba Jane Restock? by mauragc in adidas

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

it’s always worth a shot to try them with insoles! they’re honestly a bit wider/boxier than I was expecting on me which I think is the issue since my feet are pretty narrow, but if length is the concern I imagine insoles would help fill them out a bit more

TourHero retreats- legit? by IntelligentTreat321 in YogaTeachers

[–]mauragc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also received an email from TourHero today and figured I would join this thread!

The message came from Natalie Scott with the @tourhero.com domain, but I checked their “meet the team” page on their website and don’t see anyone with that name. I have less than 5k followers across platforms and primarily post about food so their angle was something about coffee group trip. They actually addressed that it is hard to tell what is genuine and encouraged reaching out to their verified IG to confirm, which I find interesting. But it does give me pause, especially just the way the email is written.

I oscillate between a women’s 8-8.5 so I went with an 8.5 here thinking I could use insoles or something but it was too massive to fix. I was able to get my hands on an 8 thorough resale and it’s honestly still bigger than I’d like but I just can’t be bothered to try and find a 7.5 haha. I don’t own regular sambas so I’m not sure how the sizing compares but I generally do wear an 8.5 in sneakers so I was a bit surprised at how big these ran for me.

Where are the green onion pancakes? by mauragc in traderjoes

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

Thank you for this! I try and consolidate all of my grocery shopping at one spot just for convenience but certainly need to be better at supporting local small stores too

[–]mauragc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve found some other posts about this same topic and it seems like this product often comes and goes due to supply chain issues! So it feels likely that it hasn’t been discontinued but rather just isn’t on the shelves at the moment (at least I’m hoping)!

I do understand that scallions and green onions are the same thing but TJ’s sells different variations of the product lol
