But perhaps the best choice is Shake Shack! I warn you about the lines usually found at all Shake Shack locations, but it's a very NY thing to try. Plus it's casual and reasonably priced. Think of it as the more high-quality NY version of In-N-Out. And have some frozen custard or a shake!

Mmm, Shake Shack

Though if the friend goes to the original one at Madison Square Park, she'll freeze, as it's outdoors. But then, I don't know if the other locations will be as good. I went to the Upper East Side one once and the burger wasn't as good for some reason.

Yes, we don't have the infrastructure to deal with it. And it would cost too much to put one in so the UK remains the laughing stock of Europe in regards to snow.

well, there are plenty of places in the US that would shut down for 3 inches, so I can't laugh.

I just thought that the UK got significant snow more often than it seems to.

Yeah, doesn't it snow like Narnia all the time? (Kidding!)

That'd be awesome! And we could travel around in sleighs!

There must also be a continuous supply of milk and bread, because shops always run out of those.

What is with this oversleeping and fogginess?

Here too -- if the forecast is for even a smidgen of snow, everyone attacks the grocery stores as if they will be snowed in for weeks.

It hasn't been all that cold in NY for the most part though. And considering I'm saying that, you know it must be pretty tolerable weather! In any case, I did mean the one in the Theater District, which I would hope would be as good.

Dear Tall Lady at Whole Foods,

You had a short bob of crazy curly gray streaked hair, black tights with teal polka dots and super high heel boots. I wish I could be as funky as you and pull it off so well.

You rock.
Sincerely,
The girl in boring clothes and sensible shoes

It is too effing cold to smoke. The last one I had (which I found magically tucked under my back pillow in my car) made me dizzy.

Creepy.

18 and a half inches!!!!

Thank you Saria! My co-worker loves you!!!!!

She has made a reservation at Seasonal. She is very excited and is looking forward to a restaurant that serves duck and hazelnut.

Thank you so much for the great suggestions. She is so excited!!

I think she is going to see about lunch at The Modern.

Treatment began today, so I'm hooked up to an IV for six hours. In my right arm. In the elbow crease. I didn't expect I wouldn't be able to move much during this whole process ...

Even better, SO is the one who's been taught how to take everything apart and pull the IV, so I get to tag along to his office hours tonight. This really isn't the way I expected his students would meet me. I can't even change because I've got this thing in my arm. Grr.

Anyway, I hope it works.

Saria · 12-02-2010, 01:16 PM

Oh, you're welcome, Minxy.

I hope your co-worker has a great time!

The most I measured was 17 inches and it's now lost 4 inches. But there are still sections that are just above my knees but I can't get to them to measure them, even though I really want to!

Just think we get 3 more months of this!

Hah! Welcome to my world, you European and U.K. posters.

"Chardon, located about an hour's drive east of downtown Cleveland, is the county seat of Geauga County. The city of around 5000 residents is known for as the heart of Ohio's Maple Syrup country and as the center of Northeast Ohio's snow belt.

Climate
With an average annual snowfall of 106 inches (269 cm)[12][13], Chardon is notable for its location in the "heart of the snowbelt" of northeast Ohio.

"In 1996, from November 9 through November 13, a storm dropped over 70 inches of lake-effect snow in the city over a period of six days. Governor George Voinovich declared a state of emergency as a result, and the Ohio National Guard was brought in to assist with the cleanup."

I watched from my bedroom window as a snowplow the size of my house cleared away the mountains of snow which had grown up around street corners and driveways.

When I moved here, I didn't even own a shovel. Who thought I'd need one in October(Wikipedia has the month wrong).

I hope your treatment works! And don't worry about meeting his students with an IV in your arm, I'm sure you are so fabulous they will all love you anyway.

Am I now so uncoordinated that I cannot chew gum without biting my inner mouth?
