Monsey/BP:
You can go about your day not even knowing that today is Thanksgiving.

far Rockaway same 🤷‍♂️

Alternate side parking suspended, of course we celebrate.

And no school buses

Local kosher store was full of non-Jews trying to figure out kosher brand equivalents cuz there ain't nowhere else to buy food.

Standing online at Bravo's (the old, best one on Broadway) - non-Jewish customer asks if the pizza with cutlets on top were chicken cutlets. (They're eggplant)

Local kosher store was closed.

I guess that goes into the "Cons" list for where I live.

Apropos to nothing, I recently tried Pizza Hut's thick pizza (branch by Ramot Mall has a Rubin), and it was delicious. Fwiw the sauce was probably the first genuinely savory sauce I've had in a very long time.

Great line from a guy describing one of the OOT communities discussed at length above:

 “Let me tell you about the bakery. We were outside shul Motzai Shabbos for kiddush levana scanning the sky for the new moon when the Rov pointed to the sky and said “the moon is over there, over the bakery”. “Well that’s probably last months levana then”, retorted one of the congregants.”

True but give it a year or two and the PETA people will convince the city to make horse and buggy illegal. May as well just walk.

10MPH is some areas. I'm sure that will be the city speed limit soon enough.

yep!

Is that what they meant by "Vision Zero"? Keep lowering the speed limit until the city is at a complete standstill?

Thought Eric Adams is more pragmatic than that.

Is this an Eric Adams issue or city council?

It's just bad corporate pizza.
There actually is truly delicious pizza in Israel these days, alas nothing with a Rubin level hechsher.

The stuffed crust is very good even if the part with the sauce is mediocre.
The chocolate pizza(or w/e it's called) is also very good.
