Hilsa/egg dish and chicken تکه from প্রিমিয়াম, 73rd St. The worker with the high voice remembered me and commented that it had been a long time. He asked if I wanted hot sauce but gave me some seasoned yoqurt sauce. At least one very pretty male customer present.

37th Ave. Snow plow (3166). Discount mixed nuts from DR (02:36). J’an (666) saw that I hadn’t brought my reusable shopping bag, but my intent was to use the disposable one from প্রিমিয়াম. إشتياق was busy with a customer who looked to be buying many bottles of sports drink.

Second Ave. Quite late to GA DA at Duke’s but few were present due to the cold weather. (See SMS messages with Jon. M.) For the second consecutive week, we had a Jewish first‐timer named דן who lives in the neighborhood. Discussion of the AC for a bit. Good to see שמואל again. No karaoke.
