Hi everyone! My partner and I are currently ring shopping, and Jean Dousset is a front runner among the jewelers we've checked out so far. We visited the showroom in NYC recently and had a really pleasant experience, and the reviews online seem generally favorable although there aren't a ton of them. They seem to really emphasize high quality craftsmanship, so I'm curious if anyone here has a Jean Dousset ring and how it's held up over time? Or if any maintenance/repairs were needed, how did their customer service handle it?

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know if there will be pacers for the Bronx 10M this year?

Just curious where everyone is planning to run. I'll probably do about 7 miles in Central Park and the rest in Hudson River Park down to Tribeca.

Anyone know if they are turned on by now? I was told they'd be on in April but they were still off a week and a half ago. Thanks!

Looking to do some winter hiking in the area. Does anyone know if there's anywhere to rent snowshoes in the city? It doesn't look like the REI SoHo location does rentals.

Or, any recommended hikes that have packed enough snow to be done with microspikes?

Thanks in advance!

I started running about 3 years ago, much more regularly this year especially. In the last 4 months or so I've been averaging 10-15 miles/week outside (up to 20 as I was leading up to a half marathon back in mid-October). In the last 2 weeks I've been experiencing intense tightness in my right shin as I start my runs. It lasts the first 3 miles and feels tight to the point where I have to frequently stop to shake out my foot and end up walking a lot. After the first 3 miles though, it goes away and I can run mostly normally.

The first time this ever happened was the week leading up to a half marathon in mid-October, and I tried icing it, doing more shin & calf stretches, foam rolling my

Does anyone know if they are allowing people to use their lockers?

I am going to the Faroe Islands in mid-September, and RentYourCar.fo seems much cheaper than other companies like Unicar or Avis for automatic transmission. Has anyone used them before?

Or, any other recommendations for affordable car rentals?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm in charge of planning a dinner for my team (20 people) in April. Ideally I'd like to find a place that doesn't require us to book a private room / prix-fixe menu for that large of a group, since I started contacting a few places and the quotes they are giving me are quite pricey.

• Budget: somewhere with entrees priced around the low 20's, so including drinks and appetizers, that would probably come out to about $40-50 per person

• Location: Manhattan, ideally somewhere easy to get to from Herald Sq (either by subway or walking) but this isn't as important as the budget

• Dietary restrictions: two people in the group can't eat shellfish

Any suggestions? Thank you!
