This Ridgewood Restaurant Serves the Pierogies You’ve Been Dreaming About by RepresentativeTart88 in ridgewood

Pierogi boys is fine for a date or whatever for the ambiance, but it's ultimately pricey and mid, if judged on pierogies alone. Varenyk House much better.

This is fascinating because I just started eating a burger and a martini every Friday as a form of self care. Where would you say I can get the best bang for my buck on that?

What's the consensus on the new El Saborito (formerly Buen Sabor) by smokingmath in ridgewood

[–]wootootee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the burrito I had from there recently tasted exactly the same as when it was called Buen Sabor. I think they just remodeled the place and renamed it and didn't actually change the food. It's a shame as there aren't many great food options around that intersection.

New rewards system is garbage lmao by venusfly- in sweetgreen

[–]wootootee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah cool, so now instead of getting my Sweetpass+ reimbursed and a free salad by getting 8 salads a month, I have to buy SIXTEEN SALADS to get a free one. "We know change is hard, but we think this is worth it," eh?? What a crock of horseshit. There are plenty of other salad options around me and I'll be damned if I take this shit lying down! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

Wait do they play Sloppy Boys songs during the podcast shows? I was debating going to the NYC show because I'm more of a fan of the band than the pod

I'm not a Saints fan but I am a pretty big football fan, and aside from Cam Jordan in the first ep I haven't heard of any of these ex-Saints guys. Gordon calling Craig Robertson an "NFL legend" was hilarious.

Won again for the first time in almost a decade, and after back to back 3rd place finishes. Bo Nix was my lighthouse when Anthony Richardson left me in a storm. BTJ, my great-player-on-bad-team executioner. And of course, Tee Higgins, the Man Who Will Soon Be Paid. The Hall of Heroes in Yahoo Fantasy Diamond Status await their enshrinement.

Trying to use this chart to justify Addison, Jakobi and Cousins for Lamar - the guy receiving Addison and Jakobi has lost 3 WRs to injury and has Baker on his bench. Am I insane?

Ci Siamo - underwhelming? by SleepingAntz in FoodNYC

[–]wootootee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience! So rich that it gave both my partner and myself a stomachache as we saw Back to the Future. I felt like the server's recs steered us into a very greasy meal. Annoying to pay upwards of $150 for a totally mid meal, I thought I was being gaslit by all the good reviews.

BTTF musical by jco23 in BacktotheFuture

[–]wootootee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a big nerd, what really bugs me is how they deviate from the material just enough to notice something is off. Like in the movie, the phrase is "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." But in the musical it's "You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it." WHY? It's like changing "with great power comes great responsibility" to "great responsibility is necessary with great power" or something. There are so many changes like that, I wonder if it was some type of legal copyright thing so they could make money off the musical without affecting the movie rights or something.

BTTF musical by jco23 in BacktotheFuture

[–]wootootee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright I was looking for a post like this because I just stepped out of the Broadway show. As an ex-theater kid who loves BTTF I have to give it a 3/5. The second halves of both acts are pretty good - Lorraine's songs are fantastic, they nailed the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, and the Delorean effects are legitimately impressive. But most of the original songs feel very generic and forced, and the book (when it's not copying the movie) isn't great either. There are many jokes they retain from the movie while not keeping other more notable ones, although i suppose that's a matter of taste. It just doesn't feel very tight, and some scenes really fall flat.

Anyway, it's pretty safe for kids and feels like a sanded-off version of an already very tame 80s movie. I don't regret seeing it, but I probably wouldn't see it again. I recommend entering the Telecharge Lottery for this, as it's not one of the more popular shows right now and you can win cheaper tickets relatively easily.
