I make a concord grape pie every year for Thanksgiving along with one for my hairstylist (long story) but absolutely cannot find them this year. I’m in South Nassau and have tried everywhere locally along with checking online delivery like FreshDirect. Instacart will tell you they are in stock all over the place, but do not be fooled, they are lying. Nobody will ship them because they are fragile. Has anyone seen Concord grapes anywhere?

Update: found them at HMart!

Hi all,
I live with my father who is in his mid-80s with Essential Tremor. He’s on propranolol, but still has severe enough tremors in both of his hands that fiddly things, like buckles and clasps, are difficult for him.

I have a 1 year-old, 50lb dog; over the last 10 months, dad has only walked him a handful of times, but I’ve had to put the harness on for him.

We have a few occasions coming up in October and November where I will be away and he will have to walk Hank for anywhere from 1-5 days. Unfortunately, Hank cannot wear the harness all the time; he will chew through it. He currently wears an Easy Walk.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a harness that’s easier on-off, and ideally has a front D-ring? I’ve seen the Atlas, which is magnetic and is $100; I’ll get that if I have to but if there’s another option someone can recommend, I’d appreciate it.

TIA.

This is a super-specific request….I’m hosting 3 friends/family members for a small pre-event glam session and will be providing lunch. I’m specifically looking for pineberries, or even Driscoll’s rosé strawberries, for fruit skewers with a pink theme (I will have pink pineapple and ruby kiwis). I’m staying in midtown and am completely comfortable on the subway, but what I don’t have is a lot of time the morning of the event. Has anyone seen pineberries at Whole Foods Columbus circle, or anywhere else nearby? Would the Lincoln square greenmarket carry them?
