I'd like to watch some of the Women's Pro Baseball League games, but I don't have ESPN+ (and don't want to subscribe) so I can't watch the games at home. Does anyone know any bars that might be showing them?
(Blazers maybe?)
I was on a Manhattan-bound Q train today around 8pm when we were passed by an empty-looking N train (maybe an R68 but I didn't get a good look at it) on the express track; not unusual, especially if there are service disruptions. But then, a few minutes later, an also-empty-looking J train (definitely an R32) zipped by on the Coney Island-bound express track. Any idea what might have been going on?
Picked the passport up at my local Brooklyn Library Branch, then got two stamps (Sonni and Verma) at P&T Knitwear for free. A friend of mine from Queens also got theirs and got the Camila Rosa design stamped at Fraunces Tavern with paid admission.
There are 12 stamps total so feel free to share which one you got and where.

>Ordinarily, if you win at pachinko you can exchange the balls you’ve won for non-monetary prizes…and every neighborhood that has a pachinko parlor also, conveniently, has a small, nondescript shop (usually just a window set into an exterior wall) nearby that just so happens to be in the business of buying those prizes from people for cash (this whole song and dance is to get around Japan’s laws prohibiting gambling for money on pachinko). But at Tampopo, there are no prizes of any kind given out, regardless of how many balls you may win from their machines.
>Why? Take a look at Tampopo’s machines, and you’ll probably notice that they’re all very old-school in design. Modern pachinko machines, pretty much without exception, have video displays and all sorts of other digital bells and whistles. Tampopo’s machines, though, are pretty much entirely analog.
