The surrealism of everyday life
Wilfrid replied to StephanieL's topic in What's that got to do with anything?
It's easy to find a subway car with only one person.💩👃 -
Did Babbo stay busy? Haven't thought about it in years.

I had completely forgotten that Grill on the Hill was being refurbished. Apparently it opened in October as Winnie Said. Odd name; pleasant, cozy space. It is indeed part of the Harlem Public portfolio so the food is probably good.

I don't know if the translation from Norwegian is the problem, but another really mediocre piece by Knausgaard this week. I can only believe his name is getting these things published.

How very, very...edgy.
-
"Broken English." Yes, I have a lot to listen to tonight. And I still have this book...
-
Another painful one. A very great beauty when I was growing up. Then an always interesting singer. I saw her once, Central Park Summerstage. 1999, apparently.

Reservations are, for once,wide open. So we shall see.

No mention of Alex Stupak's Otter here. I just read Rosner on it in the new NYer and it certainly sounds interesting.

Post House.

Troisgros sounds wonderful. I remember years ago doing the Burgundy trip, including Beaune and Dijon. The wine was great, and endlessly flowing, but as soon as we got back to Paris I ordered a bottle of Bordeaux.

My Atlanta server would not have known those phrases. Blue he knew.

On my first visit to Atlanta (before I lived in New York) I was taken (business again) to a very grand steakhouse. I was smartass enough to ask for my steak "blue," prompting the panicked waiter to check if I knew what that meant.

What was that very traditional steakhouse right by Club Macanudo? I used to like their prime rib. I ate a lot of steaks in my early years as a resident because visiting business guests were excited by American steaks. Which means I ate a lot of them on expenses.

I haven't been to either Keens or S&W in years. I kind of gave up steakhouses at some point. No particular reason. For the money I'd rather eat differently.

I see it has some nominations in "minor" categories. I haven't seen it, but it made me look to see if the original Nosferatu is streamable. It is, as is Carl Dreyer's Vampyr. Movies, certainly old movies, are getting to be as available for streaming as music.

I must dig out my Basia CD, haven't played her in years. I associate Time & Tide with a long-extinct British politics/literature magazine.

We could do a GoFundMe for you.

I wonder why they call it a pithivier rather than a coulibiac? (Kind of thing I wonder.) A "neighborhood' restaurant and bar says the website. I guess neighborhood as in Park Avenue.

Off topic, I saw Engelbert Humperdinck at Radio City Music Hall circa 1990.
-
I have no real comment except, yes that was all great. It hadn't occurred to me he was the last one standing, but indeed.

Folk Revival chai almond oatmeal. Low carb, with zero carb Nutpods creamer. Good choice when it's very cold and you are confused by a time change.
