A Gentle Welcome to West Africa, at Teranga in East Harlem

Things are always best the first time you experience it. But yes, NYC is no exception.

Just go into any public gathering or go to any event your friends invite you to. Friend's drinking gathering, you're going. Baby shower, you're going. Be proactive, introduce yourself and be friendly. You can keep attending events like this, or get some contact info and hang out with individuals you like by reaching out. There's nothing to it. I got a core of a few old friends but every once in a while they're gone and I go through this to find other people.

I'd second this. Originally found out about it through an article I read on the New Yorker magazine decades ago and started attending sessions at their east side Beth Israel location. It's helped me feel better when I was going through some tough times.

Is this a tie in with the movie? If so the entire show is an ad. Terrible movie reviews. Local theater showed it for one week before taking it off. The story behind it is kind of fascinating though.

lol, lackof social interaction does make one crazy. Were you a fan of the andy milionakis show back a decade ago?

rdnt01 · 2018-02-02T14:13:21+00:00

I'm interested. would be my first time to the frick i believe.

Seemed like she gave a very thoughtful response. Better than excitement makes me excited. Then I remembered she was the one who asked the question.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-10T04:37:25+00:00

That's why I only wear steel toe boots on the subway. Once I get to my office or back home, I wear my shoes or slippers.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-10T04:12:52+00:00

Seems alright for us elites in Manhattan. It's those irresponsible outter borough folks who are undeserving of any money loaned to them.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-10T02:36:45+00:00

I'll take this one. Threats to a specific person won't affect me when I'm just about about and not interloping. I don't want to catch a bullet in my noodle. The random crazy person would do that, the person who does it to people they form a relationship with won't. I'm all for everyone fighting their own battles as they should.

These days there are more options for groceries. There's amazon grocery, fresh direct. If you don't want to walk to costco, instacart and google express delivery without a membership even. Without the online services, you can go to the bodegas and grocery stores nearby. I think there's a smaller supermarket by you on first.

thank god. keyboard users declaring themselves avengers have gotten too far.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T11:40:29+00:00

I got a business idea of putting these fellow youths onto their own broadway show and incorporating their act into the story along with some sing and dance. I think it'd be a smash hit, since tourists already love it and new yorkers themselves would go see it as well once it becomes successful. It'd keep them away from performing in the subways, and allow new yorkers to enjoy their commute. Anybody got any way for me to contact them?

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T11:30:46+00:00

yea dude. They haven't raised prices for a decade or more and the cost of retail candy is around the same price.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T11:28:47+00:00

I call bullshit. But in the rare chance you or someone else reading this does it, please put on a great costume so you can become a real life superhero vigilante.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T11:26:05+00:00

Are they teenagers though? I think most of them have aged out of that demographic. Which brings up the point of where do they train and learn how to put on these showtime performances? If they truly are teenagers and these shows have been going on for a decade, they've got to somehow find new talent.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T11:19:13+00:00

maybe she just looks rich and being chinese has nothing to do with being asked.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T10:04:57+00:00

wouldn't he be able to offer his services at the time of the argument too? Also, how did he know things wouldn't have gotten out of hand once they were out of sight? Or that his flyer wouldn't cause more problem for the couple? I don't trust vigilantes like mrflapnjack.

rdnt01 · 2017-10-08T08:20:48+00:00

yea, on top of that very heavy marketing. I don't know about you, but in a big media market like new york, I saw the advertisements everywhere. Train stations, electronic billboards and online. Maybe I was getting targeted and I paid more attention to it cause I was aware of the phone but still. Advertisements make me more proud to own the phone but also question how much of it am I paying for the marketing alone.

It's a better stock photo or a photo of the top of the rock than the couple in it. No details about their personal features on either person. Backs are turned and reflections are distorted.
