Oh Lord how could I forget: my sister produced the Oscar-winning animated short that put Blue Sky Studios on the map, and she later went on to discover and produce Despicable Me😃

Syosset HS has had a lot. Judd Apatow was in my class, music producer George Drakoulias was a couple years ahead of me, as were Kenny Green and Victor Wang (real-life characters in The Wolf Of Wall Street), Idina Menzel a couple years behind.

Our first one's motor died at about the same age (bought it as a refurb), and Baratza was super-helpful, told me about their donation program and sent me a postage-paid box to get it back to them for refurb/donation. Our second one is doing fine!

I'd say it's far more utilitarian than bougie! It's my go-to for a single mug (350g brewed coffee). For two mugs, I use a v60.

Looking at all these other responses with much lower increases, I don't understand why mine have gone up so much? It's fucking infuriating.

Albanians are everywhere business-wise, at least: for the past thirty years they've been buying pizzerias from Italians who retire (and now retiring themselves and selling to Mexicans), but I'm not sure if they've got a Queens enclave

There's Romanian Garden, a restaurant on 43d Ave and 43d St, that I've been meaning to check out for a while.
