TY. Got an Italian favorite?itchmyTwitch wrote: »I need Italian bakery & bagel store recommendations in the Bronx and/or Long Island City. Anyone have any favorites?
Cannelle in LIC. Forget what street exactly, just follow the hipsters . French bakery. Very good. We go when we see shakespeare in gantry state park.
Afraid not. That area has really gentrified over past 20 years. Know it's cold now but is very nice place to walk around in spring and summer. That's when we take the 7 over.
No worries. Funny how some places gentrify & some places… don’t .
I was dreaming of a beer battered burger today and I couldn’t remember if I got it in Sunnyside or Woodside and I wonder what those places are like today.1 -

If you’re ever in the 6th Ave area of the city I hear this is a good place

Think it was called The Rainbow Diner. Still there, different name. Across from Saints and Sinners ( closed ) down block from Donovans. Wish Woodhaven would've gentrified b4 we sold my mother's house. Who'd of thought Bushwick would be the hot neighborhood. I go to Ridgewood a lot, Sophia's best friend lives just off the Seneca Ave stop and I pick her up. I'll get a pretzel at one of the German places while I wait.
You can do worse than dreaming of those batter burgers1 -

I don’t think imposter syndrome is entirely generated from within. I think some of it comes from old relationships in which you have been relegated to play a particular role.
You have been categorized and assigned a box. As you grow and mature, and the box becomes cramped, it’s natural to try to leave the box. But sometimes the people who knew you when the box fit, don’t want you to get out. Maybe for reasons they don’t understand themselves, they don’t want you to be more than the character you have always played. They will try to keep you small by being patronizing or outright contemptuous.
Logic would seem to tell you that it’s your closest, most intimate friends who should be the best support in your life but in the case of growth sometimes you need to expand your circle or get a new circle altogether, comprised of people whose idea of you is not set in stone.3 -
On the one hand I don’t want other people’s energy to be my problem & to always be reading subtext. Then again, I don’t want anything other than an enthusiastic hell yes. It’s a conundrum0

I was thinking something similar yesterday. I want community and close relationships but not too close even though I know this model doesn't serve me well. Conundrums1 -

Because many men don’t think of those things. Also, I thought a truck ran over your kitten, and I was about to cry.
I’m relieved you and your kitten are OK1 -

Really? I'll need a man to chime in to confirm. That makes zero sense, but you're probably right.
My kitten doesn't exist, but my dogs both thank you for your concern. ❤️
Well, as a man i doubt i would do this unless i thought you were in danger of hurting yourself or someone else. In his defense it was night and maybe he had no idea you were a woman. Maybe he was just as nervous thinking you may be an aggressive road raging dude but he was still gonna try to be helpful. I personally try to steer clear from road interactions, they really dont work out well very often.
On another note, i have had women road rage on me and i never get too excited about it But i really wonder why they felt it it necessary to approach a gorilla of a man they dont know aggressively.0
