Short visit with friends on the Upper West Side

Hey at the fancy SF Embarcadero market i saw a grower sell “dried grapes”. Real nice, wrapped up in kraft paper w/a ribbon…

So…raisins?

we were always happy with absolute off-days/hours and, if we didn’t feel like walking, lenny’s was consistently good/fast/well-priced. On the UES the best we can do without a long walk is tal’s which we think is a distant third to those two.

not a lenny’s fan?

Lenny’s is ok, tal , we;; it’s filthy. Absolute is ok, if you can get in.

Yes, raisins…
