TheChosenOne

Let it be for a bit then try to get the group back together. Time heals.

My in laws live in Sugarland and I visit for a few days every summer. If you still need someone to fill the group, I’d join for a round or two.

Finished it last night. I really enjoyed it and think they did a good job staying true to the book, especially with how they accelerated the timeline to fit it into 7 eps.

I think Florence Pugh did a fantastic job. I wouldn’t say she makes you feel bad for Cathy, but she does have a reckoning at the end with her destructive life. I won’t spoil it, but they did take some artistic liberty the last two eps with Kate’s spiraling and psychosis. Considering how she kills herself, it was fine and I read just now that it ties into something from the book.

I still wish they had more of the Hamilton family story line.

I’m shocked that anyone that delivers for DoorDash (Or any other delivery or car pickup service) would make any money at all factoring in gas prices, car depreciation, shitty tipping, etc.

Most of them in NYC are illegal immigrants riding around on motorized bikes. They can sometimes do 3-5 deliveries per hour—even more if they get deliveries that have multiple nearby stops.

It’s fine. Just check the seller to make sure it’s Amazon or a legit company.

Empire is down by Lincoln Center, so you'll be closer to that area and Columbus Circle. Belleclaire and Arthouse are across Broadway from each other and closer to the welcome party spots--you can easily walk to/from if the weather is nice. Arthouse is newer and more modern vs Belleclaire is an older, classic hotel. I would probably go with Arthouse out of the two.

Within a couple blocks of Arthouse/Belleclaire you have some options.

- Levain is around the corner and has great cookies
- Daily Provisions for coffee and creullers/breakfast sandwiches
- Pop Up bagel for hot bagels. H&H or Zuckers for bagel sandwiches
- Tessa is one of our go to places for lunch/happy hour. Though HH used to be Noon-6pm, now it's 3-6pm.
- Sala Thai for Thai and Pig and Khao for Thai/Filipino
- Mermaid Inn on Columbus, is a popular seafood/oyster bar and now open for lunch on Fridays
- Parm or Parla for Italian
- Freddy & Peppers or Made in New York for a quick slice of pizza
- Grays Papaya for hot dogs (NYC staple--spots like this don't exist much anymore)
- Zabars is another NYC staple. Jewish/Deli grocery store that has been around forever. You can grab something to eat, get some snacks, or just check it out.

There are some good bars around George Keeley's if you want to bar hop your way back. Tiki Chick is a great tiki bar with cheap eats. Dead Poet and Jake's Dilemma for old school staples. Scarlet for upscale cocktails. And many others like E's, Hi-Life, Craft and Carry. Then some great late night foods mixed in with 7th Street Burger, Two Wheels Vietnamese, Made in NY Pizza, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting some spots.

Everyone is Team Caleb now after the Jayden #5 jersey fiasco.

Finebaum has been Sankey’s media puppet all day. Said LSU would get expelled. Then claimed there was more going on after the SEC saw the negative response to the amendments and scheduled vote. Now he’s saying they won’t get expelled.

11th Circuit in Atlanta.

This isn’t new. Cape Canaveral and the Starbase in South TX are both in marshlands that have been hit by tropical storms and hurricanes. It will be okay, especially with the resources SpaceX has.

This map is wrong. I live on the UWS and there are NYPD cameras on Broadway, Amsterdam, and Columbus. They were approved by the city council and installed 2-3 years ago.
