Sounds like the landlord is very attentive, responsible and caring. Nice that you have such a valuable resource. Tip him well for Christmas!

It’s a great hobby !!!

You’re right. Avalon needs to want to make the change. It’s like my neighbor who is obese and has joined a local gym, but has only been to the gym 10 times the entire year. He needs to want to change and actually take action himself. No one can force him to.

Actually, it will make you safer if you use the walker and hopefully help prevent falls. You may think relying on something will make your muscles weaker and more dependent on the walker, but if you don’t move about, you will become deconditioned very quickly.

I don't mind his postings...I do hope he is alright and in a good space. Some of his musings are entertaining and I do appreciate seeing the other side of the fence, as we age, we will all have to face mobility issues. It's good to think about things and prepare in advance. Fortunately, i still have a strong social group and close friends nearby that seem (at the moment) will be able to help out. A few of us are looking into buying condos next to each other in Palm Springs and Montreal so we can remain close to each other and help each other out.

Sometimes, it is just referred to as an "amuse"

It's about making the right healthy choices in food selection It is difficult but it can be done.

In New York, there are programs with SAGE that help older gay men. My friend volunteers and helps a shut on a weekly basis in with his computers or taxes. Perhaps you can find something like that in your neighborhood or maybe SAGE has a local chapter in your area? It is worrisome that you feel like you don’t want to impose on your landlord with things that are normal day to day necessities.

Can you ship things to your place and ask your super to bring it to you? I’m sure you’d save money on the mailbox rental and you can use the money to tip the super.

Unfortunately, many of the "japanese" restaurants in the US are run by chinese/taiwanese. Nothing wrong with that, but may be lacking in the authentic "omotenashi" experience.

"i can't get hard for lard"... as some of my friends would say.

He looks hot from his pics online... hope you have a great time

Zuma Las Vegas is also fun

I may be biased, but NYC has the most number of Michelin stars in the US at 76. 20% of these are Japanese. Not only the the Michelin starred ones, but there are many single specialty restaurants that serve only one type of dish or from one region: Kyoto-style, onigri, okonomiyaki, skewered meats, and those that specialize only in chicken or pork. I know no reason to look elsewhere (in the US, that is). Although it is fun to explore and to experience new places, i am pretty content with the offerings here.

Agree with you

My friend at work always mentions she has to pack condoms for her son whenever he travels.

Yes, and his house in manhattan‘s west village regularly hosts interesting dinners with guest chefs. Great experience to try if you have the opportunity.

Those guys are abundant at the gym I go to. Tall, slim, tight fitting pants and shirts. Abs of steel and some wear jockstraps walking around the changing rooms. Every morning there are so many stunners... i almost fall off the treadmill.

Has anyone been to Maison Pickle? It's so much fun too.

Demarchelier on the upper east side is small and reasonable.

If considering other neighborhoods, Balthazar would be a good choice too

I love Le Cou Cou, but it is not in the neighborhood the OP requested. Have been to Daniel Rose's other restaurant in Paris too.

so sad... i heard rumors. My other favorite closed not long ago too... Mas farmhouse in the west village. Sigh...

A go to restaurant in chelsea is Singe Vert. I also like Red Cat for American. There are a whole bunch of nice restaurants along 10th Ave in Chelsea so you might consider those too if you are considering taking a friend/tourists there as it is also near the Highline which is a great place to stroll.

I don't find Austin Wolf that attractive enough to have sex in such an uncomfortable location.
