I'm so sorry. Here in my 50s, I didn't expect my father to be in the hospital in an isolation ward while my sister and mother-in-law both undergo cancer treatments, but here I am. Impossible not to think about the future while being shellshocked by the present. Good luck.

Post Malone redefining Country Music for the face tattoo generation. This should be fun.

That's one of my favorite parts!

Sietsema was also very excited

Papaya King still the most exciting recent opening I have heard about. Despite Red Sauce Studio.

It almost seems like the inherent problems with the idea of a "powerful food critic" are the problem, not the stars or the words. Although, often the stars and the words seem to be out of alignment. Of course the NY Times Food critics are gatekeepers. Pretending they are uncomfortable in that role is a bit much to swallow.

@Wilfrid gets around

It's amazingly sad that I got to see the beginning of the end of traditional bbq and the hospitality industry in my career. I appreciate Wells a bit more than ever.

What fun would that be?

This is the real return of the Grievous Angel. Dang.

Rich and Peg!

Yup! They were just in town.

I like GP a lot, too. His Last Rock and Roll Show live album with the Figgs is a real favorite.

Really wanted to go to that @MitchW as I have an unyielding love of this artist. How was it?

Could have been a great spot for a bbq sandwich and a beer. It's too bad about the Porch.

There are so many smashburgers right now and some are pretty indistinguishable from each other. I have always been amazed by the cult of George Motz but he is certainly a passionate and likeable ambassador of burger. Harlem Shake, 7th Street Burger, 8 Bit Burger, Hamburger America, Gotham Burger Social Club, it all makes me crave PJ Clarke's.

There was a Farrell's in Windsor Terrace and one on Staten Island in the mall, too. It was where kids had their ice cream and candy birthday parties.....

Weezer just covered Africa a few years ago. It brought the song some cachet.

Maybe they bless the rains....

I hear that "Rock Me Amadeus" is coming back for Hot Falco Summer.

You can. As long as it's "We Built This City"

Gotta get to the new Papaya King. My anticipation is almost volcanic.

The 1910 Fruitgum Company did it better.

When did he break-out as a 'Bon Vivant'?
