Shopsin’s

This is my staple weekend meal. It’s a tiny diner on Delancey and Essex, and has been a New York City institution since the ‘70s. It has an extensive and creative menu, but I think on your first visit you should get the mac ‘n’ cheese pancakes and eat them with syrup and hot sauce. A great place to take a few select friends (max 4 to table), or dine alone and chat up your counter neighbour.

Vicki’s diner - WestfielD, New Jersey

I grew up going to this one a lot with family and friends so it has a special place in my heart (This pic is from Google maps because I cant find any pics of it in my phone)

Going back to visit and seeing your old favorite(s) thriving

Absolutely love when I go back somewhere I used to live and see that an old haunt (cafe, bar, etc) is thriving. I lived across from 3 Little Figs in Somerville 10 years ago and it was wild to see it bustling beyond belief with a huge line out the door - and some of the same people working there and my favorite items still on the menu. Good for those guys!

user ownership: turn perfectly imperfect into a cooperative

The best internet platforms enshittify when they take on VC funding, either exiting to the market or a larger acquisition as a result of the pressures of venture capital. It’s all downhill from there: Investors and leadership will strip the company for parts, enforce mass layoffs, sabotage the user experience, all in the name of maximizing returns. What if Perfectly Imperfect took a different route, and exited to its community of users, paid subscribers, and workers? What if PI became a solidarity cooperative, or something similar? Let’s think about how to safeguard the legacy of this clearly beloved platform.
