Kendall fills us in on her friends Jennifer, Dakota, Taylor and Hailey (yes THOSE ones) while we try to act like waiting on them wouldn't make us drop on all fours and bark. With special guest Amanda Nascarella (yes THAT one).
Tipping a Guinness with the West Village's famed Kendall Gough (yes, Vincent's relative). We cover favorite non-bro pubs, needing more bistros and female bartenders, plus a special surprise guest!!
Abbey and Kimmy are back in the saddle, breaking down the timing logistics of dinner and a show, the price of wine in BK vs Manhattan (care to comment, James Murphy?), and finally finding out about sticky toffee pudding.
Josh's service industry arc including poop in the urinal and his first gay person. You're going to smell like fry oil after this one. Brought to you by Subway, Xbox and Morning Star Sausages.
Talking pea + carrot burritos, chicken murder and the etiquette of drinking wine gifts with our manager (and friend!) ((and first "male" guest on the pod!!!)) Josh D'Oyley. Guest notes: do not charge for espresso.
Trigger warning: this episode contains false information about the Rainforest Cafe closing. It also contains a speed round of book talk, praise for the successful socialism of the PS food coop and a discussion of Gibsons: do they deserve their own drink name? Our editing remains deeply unprofessional.
Cookies by the pond with Lindsay McLaughlin who tells us why she doesn't believe in education, avoids handing out her phone number at work and has a policy of letting it unfold.
Who are we? Where's Astor Place? Why do croissants keep popping up? Abbey and Kimmy answer the hard questions and run six minutes over your legally allotted break.
Is there anyone who hasn't promoted AMANDA NASCARELLA? Cutting her teeth and carrying trays from Tallahassee to NYC. Amanda's oral resume and origin story!
