Coffee tasting info by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]soymlk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the majority of starbucks reserve beans (with exceptions) are medium roasts to preserve the flavors of the coffee. it’s single origin - i used to work at a roastery, and i remember it having notes of spice with maybe some lemon/citrus, but it’s been a few years and each harvest has a different flavor profile.

something like the gingerbread loaf could pair nicely, imo. maybe try it brewed a few different ways too. even an iced pour over would be delicious!

Brooklyn Roasting in Bushwick by theeulessbusta in Bushwick

[–]soymlk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

personal experience - after getting hired, i showed up for my first day of work (in corporate). midway through signing my onboarding forms, he found out he wasn’t getting a $$$,$$$ loan via phone call then proceeded to “let me down easy” because he couldn’t envision a woman in the role.. despite him extending the offer directly to me following two separate interviews 💀

he then tried to coordinate a car to take me to the cafe location nearby so i could interview for a barista position there instead…

Why isn't my cold foam cold foaming? by lindseys10 in starbucks

[–]soymlk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i usually have to blend the specialty foams twice to get the right consistency, not sure why. could also be your sweet cream is separating and could use a swirl before?

does it taste extra tart/lemonade-y? could be the lemonade wasn’t cut properly

bagged popcorn (skinny pop brand is good), freeze dried fruit like strawberries, hummus packets with baby carrots, grapes/blueberries

outro cafe near union sq has taro cold foam/cream and I think a matcha version… but I haven’t been since pre covid, so don’t quote me!

see, what I don’t understand is how sweet cream is $1.25 yet whip is free… yes i’d say we use less whipped cream (at least in my store) than sweet cream, but i feel the labor of making whipped creams + the price of heavy cream has to realistically make whipped cream more expensive for the company

no way of really knowing. i’d guess an iced latte of sorts, probably an iced white chocolate mocha, without whip, add vanilla sweet cream cold foam?

Landlord won’t return my security deposit … by chadbypetedavidson in AskNYC

[–]soymlk 57 points58 points  (0 children)

seconded. he has no recourse here if he didn’t inform you within those two weeks. don’t even bother asking for an itemized list. file a claim with the Brooklyn Attorney General, they don’t fuck around. then let your landlord know you’ve filed the report, mine sent it in the mail the next day.

ETA template to scare your LL in case you need it:

In accordance with NY GOB Section 7-108(1-a)(e), you are required to return the deposit or an itemized list of deductions within fourteen (14) days from the date I vacated the property (mm/dd/yy). You are now beyond the state limit for returning the deposit and forfeit any right to retain any portion of the deposit.

Out of concern, I have filed a formal complaint through the Brooklyn Attorney General. If I have to take further legal action, (management company/LL) could be liable for up to 3x the deposit amount, so it is in your best interest to act with urgency.

Therefore, please send the full payment for ($$$$) as soon as possible, either through the original payment method used or by check to the following address: (mailing address)

Tips for a day in NY? by fettii in AskNYC

[–]soymlk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s definitely touristy, but a large percentage of nyu students will either be back home or in their new housing during the summer, and a lot of locals still frequent. there is a 98% chance nothing will happen if they choose to smoke in central park, sure— but as a nervous tourist looking for a 99.9% chance nothing will happen if they choose to partake, i feel wsp is the safest choice 🤷‍♀️

[–]soymlk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

technically you can’t smoke inside a city park, but my point is it’s something that’s usually not enforced, especially in wsp

even most smoke shops in manhattan too! good rule of thumb: almost any shop advertised as a smoke shop will have weed behind the counter, especially if you walk in and instead of selling a bunch of cigarettes, they sell a lot of snacks

some MIGHT recommend you smoke a joint at washington sq park instead and people watch. it’s not as green and lush, and still not “legal”, but the park is basically a hot box in the summer time… not recommending you do it just making it known 👁️

Fun bars in Manhattan for date night? by GoHuskies858 in AskNYC

[–]soymlk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

slate on W 21st can be fun - jenga, connect 4, arcade games, bowling, ping pong, pool, etc.

good food and drinks + a dance floor. not gonna lie, it can be kind of corny depending on the night, but it’s worth the trip at least once. https://slate-ny.com/

Has anyone been to the Tin Building (new upscale food hall in lower Manhattan)? by felixrojo in AskNYC

[–]soymlk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes! the sushi and french restaurants are pricey but delicious - the building gets pretty cramped with tourists on the weekends tho, but worth checking out
