m4l, as you saw, Saraghina was not crowded, Peaches will be much more crowded i think, usually. Peaches has a much bigger and traditional brunch menu than Saraghina does. Peaches brunch menu should be online.
I have a contrary view on the rent reduction question. I just negotiated a 7-8%/month rent reduction, as did a friend in my building. Then again, I’m in a ridiculously overpriced 60-unit building in Cobble Hill.
But, for the 10 years I had tenants, none ever asked for rent reductions. And, when good tenants renewed their leases, I didn’t raise their rent, even when my heating costs increased substantially. It was more important to me to have good tenants sharing my house with me than a few extra dollars a month.
I often wonder what it is with the wiring of men that makes them more amenable to ‘hit and run’ type of interactions…I know women do it too, but it seems more prevalent amongst men. Or maybe they just talk about it/admit to it more.
Morning all. Just caught up on the OT. I find it very hard to believe that guy the other day who had been lurking for more than a year and yet still claimed not to know the “sexual proclivities” of the regulars on the OT.

Snappy, we don’t get pregnant!

Snappy,
Partly nature, but also society tends to celebrate it in straight men, assume it in gay men and disparage it in women.
(I am such a feminist!)

DH, I think I may want to hang in Willyburg next weekend to increase my rolodex of “fairly insignigicant sexual partner(s)”
:o).
