What the Italians in Westerly won’t share, is the exact recipe for their soupy. They will pass it down to family only. You almost need to be a made man to learn the way of the soupy. I can respect that. Glad to see the tradition still in practice. Good soupy is easy to buy, westerly packing, great soupy is given to you by someone you know, who knows a guy.

Have you met an actual chef before? Doesn't sound like it. Or is it because she is a female chef with a strong personality? Let's be honest if she was a man nobody would blink an eye but because it's a woman everyone is so offended!!! Such BS!

I recently joined LA Fitness in Garden City. I was very hesitant as the reviews online were terrible (filthy club, jerky staff & members, busted cardio machines), but since it is literally a five minute walk from my house I looked into it anyway. I was given an extended guest membership and in that time I didn’t see anything like what was mentioned in the reviews. People were nice, it seemed about as clean as any other chain gym like Planet. No broken machines that I encountered. I mentioned this when I signed up and apparently they have new mgmt who are committed to improving the place. I do think it’s too expensive (I’m paying $34/mo) and it should be more like $10-20/mo, but it’s worth it for me as proximity removes an excuse for not going and I need all the motivation I can get . I can’t really speak to locker room cleanliness as I don’t use it. So, that’s what I have to say about this place. If it seems like a possible fit, give it a chance, they seem to have taken the bad reviews seriously.
