    Other Half is really weird about not letting people be in the garage part later in the day.

    Went to Other Half a couple weeks ago on a Friday around 8:30 and then to Threes. It was tight.

    My poor movers had to work all day in this shit. Took them a hour and a half to get my couch through the door and they even had to take the door off the hinges. Tipped them handsomely.

    KJROD20 and I were talking about that this morning. One more plus of moving up to Westchester, we'd both be dying on the packed subway. Instead, we were seated comfortably on a well air conditioned Metro North train!

    Update:

    Breakfast: Crabby Eggs - scrambled eggs, cream cheese, dill, and lump crab meat. (FYI the cream cheese in eggs combo is fire so get with it if you aren't)

    Lunch: soft shell crab sandwich

    Dinner: Hoopers Crab House at 8pm.

    If I can snare some drunken Boardwalk crab we've got a chance at the cycle. I also hit Burley Oak Brewing which was super delightful

    If you want cans it might be worth swinging by at noon (sharp) and seeing if you can hit the lull. If you don't then I would recommend just going to Threes since they have a more robust tap list and larger physical space.

    That's our old hood, KJROD20 and I used to live on Scholes St and Union Ave. Love it over there. You're right by the West which has amazing nitro cold brew, and Santos Anne which makes my favorite comfort food dinner (fois gras gnocchi). I have tons and tons of recs for you if you ever need em!

    Had a solid overnight trip to the city yesterday/today.

    Grand Banks despite the weather. Warren 77 for football.

    Did some Brooklyn Bridge and BK during day. Birreria for lunch and drinking. Then grabbed Alidoro for flight home.
