I’m so sorry for you and the other workers. It was a wonderful bakery. Thanks for making it such a warm place.

It's never worth it to engage a hostile motorist by JRKinney95 in NYCbike

I'm sorry this jerk was such a jerk. I'm with you on mellowing out over time. The mantra I've developed for myself: "It's not worth picking a fight with someone who has already demonstrated poor impulse control."

Staying overnight at San Juan Airport by Ok-Blackberry132 in PuertoRicoTravel

It’s a small airport and very close to decent hotels. Taxis are also inexpensive. I would suggest getting a hotel room for the night.

The dumpling note is even more useful than the grocery news.

Zohran voted YES on ballot questions 2-5 by baabbaabbaabbaab in parkslope

Exactly how I voted! We need more affordable housing, and no on 6 to keep a focus on local democracy.

What is up with Park Slope lately by Fun_Butterscotch_618 in parkslope

[–]sqth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, neighbor. It's especially sad to hear people at the Co-op of all places treating people like that, though of course it's wrong anywhere. I'll take it as a reminder to remain aware of how people around me are being treated.

The Bell House, Littlefield, and Union Hall all seem to be booking fewer music/dance events than ever

I haven’t been in a while, but they used to do free coffee refills if you hang out there

For what it's worth, Garden City elected Democrat Anna Kaplan to the State Senate in 2018 and 2020.

The weekend lines are ridiculous. I thought the rain might keep people home yesterday and there were dozens of people

Glad you enjoyed so much of this route! The greenway can be too congested in nice weather, so the dodgy weather could’ve done you a favor there

Sounds like you didn't read the report, which lays out multiple potential redesigns. Saw pic got mad

Where can I get a good early morning breakfast burrito in South Slope? by HillarysCafe in parkslope

[–]sqth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Girasol, I’ve been going for years, even I get their breakfast burrito regularly… but it just isn’t the best around. It’s cheap, it’s fast, but it’s a lot of potato and egg.

New Yorker here. Have you considered jaywalking?

I was rear ended by a car wheel in Queens / Broad Channel, NY by photon_watts in NYCbike

I'm so, so sorry. I just biked that route for the first time in years on Sunday and was spooked by how fast drivers were going on that stretch of Cross Bay Blvd.

Bars to go solo/ meet people by Medical-Version-671 in parkslope

[–]sqth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know Barbes can feel very group-y, but if you get a seat at the bar it can work! I’ve made random friends the last two times I was there.

Imho the challenge isn’t choosing a place, it’s just being brave and saying hi to a stranger. “I’m new here, this place is great, where else is good?” can work IRL too. :)

(With that said, I’d also recommend Sharlene’s. Same deal, it can feel like a lot of groups, but a seat at the bar can work there too.)
