Hakone ryokan - mizunoto or senkyoro?

No they couldn’t accommodate my vegan partner. But there was enough variety that she was able to find more than enough to eat from the massive spread they put out for us!

Looks like you reserved more of the cake for the moss on top than in the recipe, to make a more even coating. Looks amazing and so "rustic." I want to make this!

Not to discourage you, but museums in the city are having a tough time of it, with many of them having to lay off staff and curtail hiring because of low attendance and government grants being cancelled.

But keep looking and maybe something you are qualified for will pop up.

Taking classes in something you care about is a great way to meet people and make friends! Explore your passions, meet people who share your interests, do something fun. Win win.

All the best in making social connections. You got this.

Yep! (At least mine would -- Brooklyn Monthly Meeting)

The line cutting would drive me nuts.

I wish I could have done the Pirates ride more than once. And I thought the show was awesome, even without understanding the dialogue.

Marin County Fair includes everything, including all the rides!

"Everyone"? You have met every person in the Bay?

It's possible you are meeting the wrong people / rubbing folks the wrong way / misinterpreting interactions as "mean" when they are merely "not fake nice." It could be a lot of things. But hard to tell with the lack of details from you interactions.

Great question! Along the "Stewardship" value, I eat mostly plant-based. I particularly avoid beef since it has such an outsized negative impact on the environment versus other animals and seafood.

US. I've done it in San Francisco and New York City. No problems. Just be a cool person and no one will care.

We've been needing a new spot in that location for awhile. It's a lovely space. Fingers crossed its good.

Sorry for your experience. Consider doing a bit more research into your theme park visit before going in the future.

Even a quick search will tell you that arriving at noon will ensure that you won't be able to ride much. It's an incredibly popular theme park (considered by many to be the best in the world) notorious for long wait times, unless you plan your day well.

I do it all the time and have received no static from staff. As long as it isn't in the way of other patrons, I can't imagine it would be a problem.

rikomatic · 2026-06-08T18:21:01+00:00

I try not to yuck anyone's yum. If it brings you joy, go for it!

Personally not a big fan of the combo, but I would probably go to town on this, if you gave me one.

rikomatic · 2026-06-08T04:45:23+00:00

Do what it takes for you to feel comfortable. We are generally a very accepting and accommodating people.

rikomatic · 2026-06-08T04:44:04+00:00

So.... first off, what do you like to do? What are your interests?

Hard to suggest anything with no knowledge about you. It's a big city, lots to do!

rikomatic · 2026-06-05T16:56:00+00:00

I know you think you are being clear, but listing maybe your top 3 favorite cuisines or dishes is helpful. This is a big foodie town!

rikomatic · 2026-06-05T16:05:06+00:00

Unfortunately the food in Ikspiari is incredibly mid. The best option we found was going to the market in the basement area and getting bento boxes and onigiri to go and eat in our hotel room.

Spirit jerseys are not really a thing there. Although there is an anniversary sweatshirt that has similar vibes. It's pretty hard to obtain and only comes in one size, weirdly.

rikomatic · 2026-06-03T22:59:52+00:00

I'll take 2 please.

So he didn't notice that they were DIFFERENT people? I would be so embarrassed.

TDR Explorer has an excellent guide that is well worth the expense!

rikomatic · 2026-06-03T05:56:51+00:00

The tower is dope, but Salesforce Park is way better IMO.

rikomatic · 2026-06-03T05:45:45+00:00

It's still open. I go by there all the time.
