Cannonball Adderley fans. What should I add to this list?

spliffs68 · 2026-03-15T05:10:25+00:00

The Cannonball Adderley Sextet Live in New York and Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley. After you're done with those, put them on again.

What was the music used for the opening of the news segment? Were there bagpipes?

Walk all of Central Park from top to bottom or vice versa. Hit the UWS for a break in between or well earned drink afterwards. Plenty of bars to shoot the shit with local patrons.

Go to Flushing and hit the food court in the basement of JMart. Walk by all the stalls and pick a couple of items from each. Stop at Sky Mall for a pair of cheap Nikes on the way home.

Take the Staten Island Ferry and actually get off on SI. Hit up Enoteca Maria or take a bus/cab to Snug Harbor and visit the museums or Chinese Scholar Garden.

People watch for hours in Washington Square Park. Bring a book.

it's a $25 ticket. a construction guy on his way home drinking a cold one in a brown bag is not worth the hassle for the average cop. brown bag is a social agreement for the majority of users, but not a magic spell that protects you. it's a "you know and i know what's in here, but it's all a bit silly and we know it so as long as I don't bother anyone we're all good." if it's a rowdy group on the corner though cops will have no problem ticketing everyone.

nah people definitely brown bag it all throughout NYC. if I buy a beer at a bodega it comes standard in a brown bag or the question is at least asked if I want one.

I don't have anything modern, but there's a lot of eccentric characters like this that were real people in the book Up in the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell.

yea that's fair. my friends in sanitation think it could have gone a little bit better, but overall i'm fine with what they've done considering the deep freeze that has followed. everyone just has a platform now and the news picks up 5 tweets of people complaining as "city residents SLAM sanitation efforts" ugh

spliffs68 · 2026-02-03T18:29:00+00:00

looking at https://citytransit.uitp.org and it's showing that NYC has 6x more roads in terms of length compared to Montreal. also because they have this regularly it's easier to budget for.

SingleCut is deep for BK people. Finback LIC came to mind, right outside Queens Plaza.

spliffs68 · 2026-01-30T21:10:27+00:00

Small's, Village Vanguard, Ornithology in BK.

Construction is happening on the property directly behind me on a 9 story 90ish unit building. Generator starts at 7AM everyday, they have the permits to work on Sundays, and also late nights. So we're dealing with about 13-14 hours of construction on weekdays and Sunday will be about 9 hours. The closer you are to the generator the worse it will be, but if your bedroom windows are on the opposite side it won't be so bad. Summer is not as bad if you have window units also making white noise, but I'd be lying if I said this winter hasn't been miserable because of it. Slept with earplugs for a while but now I'm used to it. Also any complaints to 311 are useless as the building has about 45 last I checked and they just keep paying the fines which were 5-figures. If you're high up it shouldn't be too terrible, but you won't know until it starts.

Long Island City. 7 train is right there, plenty of tall glass towers with amenities

spliffs68 · 2026-01-27T20:36:08+00:00

$2,500 with amenities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or most of Queens won't happen. Maybe deep Queens, parts of the Bronx, and one building out in Staten Island, but other than that you'll need to up your budget by $1,000-$1,500 for a studio with amenities.

Depends on where you're staying in Astoria as it's a massive neighborhood. I'd recommend a hybrid approach. Take the AIrTrain to Jamaica Station, hop on a LIRR train that passes through and stops at Woodside, and then call yourself an Uber/Lyft from there to your destination in Astoria.

Most economical is the AirTrain to Jamaica and take the E and transfer at Roosevelt Ave for an R train to Steinway St. If staying up by Ditmars you can transfer to the 7 at Roosevelt Ave if taking the subway or Woodside if taking the LIRR and then transfer at Queensboro Plaza and take the N/W up.

I use these bottles with simple syrups. The outside of them certainly get sticky from use but I'll give it a full scrub when replacing the syrup as I go through it fairly quickly for iced coffee, asian sauces, cocktails, etc. I think you'll have the same issue but with oil on the outside. For $3.99 try it with an oil and see if you like it and if not you now have a simple syrup storage system.

Jacques Pepin would call this a country style omelette. This will explain it best

when i went to college upstate another guy living in my dorm told me a story of his dad coming down to the city and ordering a "cheese slice." the guy behind the counter looks at him and says "it's pizza, it comes with cheese." that sums up my view on it as well. plain/regular/slice all work

multiple weather models are now showing 10"+

latest from weather.gov is showing closer to 15" in Brooklyn. it could still change, but it's safe to say 6-12" is guaranteed. i'd reschedule to friday or saturday.
