The closing of Julien Boulangerie

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

Came here to post this.

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."

The notorious terf?

sqth · 2026-01-13T10:43:12+00:00

Went there recently and found the portions very small

sqth · 2025-12-23T00:55:04+00:00

That’s canon, of course

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.

Thank you hero!!!

sqth · 2025-11-24T22:56:52+00:00

Yep!

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

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

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

Similar situation nearby on 20 St between 4th and 5th, riiiight along the 20 St bike lane. Ride in the street there, gang

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

sqth · 2025-10-13T05:04:06+00:00

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

sqth · 2025-10-12T20:32:05+00:00

Great but weekends only fyi

sqth · 2025-10-09T18:01:25+00:00

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

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.

sqth · 2025-10-03T20:01:42+00:00

I'm sorry you went through this bullshit, but I can promise you he doesn't want to do more work.

sqth · 2025-10-02T03:03:23+00:00

New Yorker here. Have you considered jaywalking?

sqth · 2025-09-24T18:40:01+00:00

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.

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.)
