    I'm jumping in here.  Finally making it back to the city after a 18 month absence due to the cooties.  Solo trip.  Nov 11-14.    I need a solid dinner rec for a Thursday night.  Friday going to see a band play at Bowery and Saturday some friends are putting together a dinner.  They usually pick super trendy impossible to get into spots.   Casual. aka nice jeans Dockers etc.  I don't want to drag anything more in the clothing dept.  I've always wanted to go to Momofuku Ko so maybe I've answered my own question

    soon to be new Dad here - researching a million things but any specific product recommendations to either steer clear of or that you can't recommend enough?

    Diaper Genie is a worthy spend.

    when the kid is about a year old, go buy a three ring inflatable pool and 3 or 4 hundred colored plastic balls: should cost less than $50 and you have your own ball-pit.

    Hire a baby proofer for your house.

    Sucks.  My boy got really sick as a little guy from daycare and they needed a urine sample.  He was so dehydrated they stuck a catheter up his pee-pee hole......he was.....not happy.  It killed me having to help hold him down

    :(

    they asked for a urine sample and he has been working on his aim for peeing standing up...he thought this was fascinating.

    I've already got a town picked out in Costa Rica.   Looking for better climate.  My second and last kid with be off to college in 7 years and I assume by then my mom will have passed.  She's about to be 85 and not in the best of health.    I looked at houses on my last trip.  You can get a house on a hill in a gated neighborhood for under $400k.   I'm focused on CR mostly because they have good health care and it has the type of activities I enjoy.  I thought about Belize but the health care isn't great and its too damn humid all the time.   I do need to check out Panama and Colombia which I've been to but haven't look at what the expat is like.  My Spanish is decent and could probably become fluent within a year.   I'll also maintain a condo in downtown SA for as  long as I keep working.   I would love to move to Asia but I also don't want to be +24 hours away from family.

    The amount of imaginary play the parents do with the kids, like the imaginary bus driving,  etc. is awesome, but makes us look bad.

     

    who's "us"?

    I've noticed they've had the parents letting the kids piss in a bush or behind a tree multiple times in the show, and now when we are at a park, my kids ask if they can do a "bush wee".

    My kids are 4, we let them take a emergency wee when required

    This hasn't aged well.

    I feel like when they watch Bluey, they are sometimes judging me and my wife, and  always finding us very lacking compared to Bluey's parents.

    Bandit is a great dad and his brother Stripe is good fella as well

    Crown Shy was fantastic again - recommend later rez (9:30 for us) and a weekend for it to feel lively.  First time was Thursday and earlier so felt like an after work crowd - FiDi so makes sense.  

    Walked a metric shit ton today.  Managed to get my 16 hr fast in so I can be a pig again later.  Did Central Park and some shopping.  Turned out to be fantastic out…

    Staying at mandarin oriental and would highly recommend to anyone.  We usually do smaller boutique type places (Crosby Street last time) or Baccarat…probably still our favorite.  

    Equinox Columbus Circle now then Carbone!
     

    You should have hit up Per Se. I had not dined there in ages, since 2006 or so. Did the who tasting meal with Waygu, Truffles, wine courses. fuckoing out of sight, dynamite.  they started with The Salmon Cone which is always the amuse-bouch, and the first course was “Oysters and Pearls” with caviar. we revisited that one later in the meal. I'll have to locate the menu copy. 

     

    It was my first meal in NYC in a year. did not disappoint

    Safaris are awesome and somewhat hard to describe as many people associate a "park" or "reserve" as being fenced in with "tame" animals.  Going on a safari is nothing like that or visiting a zoo.  I have been to Krueger and Pilanesberg multiple times and it never gets old.

    Glad you were able to experience it.

    FYI, I fly out of SHV with a connection in ATL and then a direct flight to JNB all on Delta.  Pilanesberg is not too far outside of JNB for a decent countryside drive.  I take a commuter flight up to Krueger.

    Krueger is dope, South Africa is dope. went in '99, crazy time.

    None of my kids Ipads have cell.  They don't need it especially at that age.  Worst case scenario you can hotspot your phone and they can connect to that.

    that's what I was thinking

  10. iPad reco: so my iPad has become the kids device by and large. Twins, boy and girl that turn 4 in Aug. Considering a second device as their tastes in content diverges. How many of you use the cell capability? do you think 128G or the little 32G unit? My device i an older Apple iPad Air 2 Space Gray 64GB with Cell.  I think they will mostly play games like Jr Chef and watch streaming content at the house or a hotel, or where-ever. I think WiFi will be enough but its not like you can add Cell later.
