We all know Italians are the worst but the fact that you can almost guarantee good+ sub rolls is why they’re the kings and queens of delis.

You’d love Adeem the Artist.

Does he hate Italians or love delis?

Welp, my comfort bar, the place we’ve been going with the kids with some regularity for almost 10 years, where I know almost everyone, where both girls now work, is finally conceding to the post-COVID swoon and closing at the end of next month.

A chunk of the staff knows, the owner is coming in to tell the rest tonight. Might take the kids to dinner around that time so they can get the news officially. Figure they should hear from their employer and not their parent even if it’s doing to hit them personally. Definitely their first (and current?) favorite restaurant.

The new owners will be turning it into a Mexican joint.

I’m sad.

Judging from your and your wife’s FB posts, I thought you were singlehandedly keeping them in business. That’s a shame, great place. Is the other location closing too?

[rass]

Morris Plains? Doesn’t sound like it.

[govmentchedda]

That sucks, Rass.

[mister d]

Tíff’s.

Aw fuck, man. I’m sorry. Whenever we went, or I went, I always felt like I was going to your house, but with better wings, beer, and burgers. Hopefully the new owners keep on whoever wants to stay on.

[Giff]

That sucks, rass. We had a similar experience last year with a place here where we had celebrated so many birthdays, etc. To have that sort of connection be broken is hard.

Fingers crossed the next July 4 meetup is at cerrano's place.

I’m wearing my Sad Dads hoodie tonight too.

[govmentchedda]

I get so many weird faces when I wear mine.

[mister d]

From people who know the music ban is only a few years away?

[mister d]

Any of you NNJ motherfuckers try Christo’s cheesesteaks in Bloomfield? Pics look really good which is more than I can say for every single cheesesteak place I’ve had anywhere around here (and half the ones there).

[rass]

No but the IG algorithm did serve up some pictures recently.

[mister d]

Yeah, I don't remember which social it was on but that's how I saw it too. Its on the list.

Dear Rass:

1. Happy birthday
2. Your family Facebook posts make me really excited for when both kids are taller than my wife.

Yours,

My daughter keeps trying to claim that day. She’s a fraction of an inch shorter, and I don’t think it’s going to happen until my wife starts shrinking.

[mister d]

Is yours as short as mine?

Probably even shorter. And my wife is barely 5’2!!!

[rass]

Under 5.

[rass]

Feet!

[sancarlos]

Glad you clarified that.

I know she is short, but really? Under 5 foot?

Her former roommate, my wife, towers over her at 5’2”.

So, you guys are brothers-in-law. Huh. Did not know that.

Last trivia night and I blew it. Could have been in first place heading into the final question. I thought I had a decent answer (which was wrong) so the question is in an alternative universe where I am in first what’s my wager? Could have finished in at least third I think with a cowardly wager.


Can’t believe how busy they’ve been since they announced the closing. Feel bad for the manager having to field all of the “we love this place we wish we’d gone more often” conversations the last 3 weeks.

[rass]

PS not out of Fiddlehead yet

If any of you local boys want to laugh at a cyber truck in person, there’s on right along the street at the dealership on 22 in union. Even the kids, unprompted, knew it was funny so I feel like I’ve done something right.

Does Verona count? A teacher at my daughter's elementary is being inducted into the New Jersey High School Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.

Definitly. That's pretty great. Too bad there is no ice in Houston.

Ahem.

In 2022- 23, she managed the Cinco Ranch High School Ice Hockey Team in Katy, TX, which she enjoyed with her son Brendan.
