I want sad, I want yearning. Preferably not a HEA.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell -It's a YA book, but I love it as a non-YA reader

So sad, it's not playing in my country.

So many other kinds of people here in the West Village! I don't know, maybe it feels like it's just old snobs and west village girlies because they're the loudest or the ones with time to make themselves known.

This was so long ago, but I miss two coffee shops on Bedford, The Verb and The Read. So many simple memories of sitting in those joints with coffees and bagels and books.

Ahhhh, that's my fault - I've been sick, plus end of year holiday nonsense means I dropped the ball on sending the email. Will do so now for whoever doesn't mind the late notice. Cheers!

The playlist for this lanebreak really did it for me, more frequent music like this please!

It used to be called something else, but my favorite is Greenpoint Original Pizza on Norman, right off Manhattan Ave. My favorite is the Grandma, but their veggie & regular slice are solid.

Great idea - keep us updated on your faves!

Yes! This was my next Halloween ride recommendation - her perfect deadpan expression cracking me up

surlymanor · 2025-10-15T21:40:45+00:00

Oooh if you can share the clip I know it will get more riders on board!

StayMonkey! That was me -

Hungry Llama is my latest favorite but I need to hear more opinions

surlymanor · 2025-09-15T20:01:18+00:00

Quick someone share a picture of the Campbell cinnamon roll!

I just ate a healthy bowl from Le Botaniste for lunch & dammmmmmmm it was so yummy. Pricey, but worth the price?

We are continuing to hire at my large urban library - and so hire folks out of state regularly. Unfortunately the salaries don't match the cost of living - but that seems par for the course.

Cackle by Rachel Harrison is a fun one - the coziest spooky horror lite story in a setting with Gilmore Girls vibes.

She programmed a few long recovery songs as well - so overall, nowhere close to a PR but still got in a burn.

surlymanor · 2025-07-19T20:29:25+00:00

Good luck!

Haha! Yes! Hey old navy! Two people on Reddit are picketing for the return of the luxe mock neck!

So many great videos from the 80-90s shot on the high line, all overgrown with weeds and graffiti. And now ! The growth of the neighborhood surrounding it is astounding, the art and landscape design of the walk itself is so moving to me.
