Might be pretty late but just wanted to share my experience. Finally decided to try out Mama’s Too Philly cheese, and it was a 10/10 for me. I’m not a big fan of onions but those onions were amazing on it & the cheese they used was super quality and gooey. The bread and meat […]

I (32, woman) was riding a very crowded A train. A girl of about 11 was pushing between people to get between her sister and her mom (who were sitting opposite each other with people standing between the two benches) with a giant bottle of bubble liquid. She was blowing bubbles but also spilling a

Kunafa Bites – Google Maps Page This Nablus kunafa comes in multiple sizes. This was the medium for $15, if I remember correctly. Took about 7-8 min to freshly make. It was excellent. Crispy on top with gooey stretchy cheese on the bottom. It was sweet, syrupy, and nutty from the pistachios. I damn near
For example, I love going to the movies. I also have lots of family and friends in the Hudson Valley, so I leave the city fairly often, and when I do, I sometimes go to the movies with them. Finding a theater where audience members all have proper theater etiquette can be a real struggle
Before anyone gets concerned, I want to clarify this isn’t anything worrying or shady LOL. I just really enjoy finding ‘liminal’ spaces in NYC, quiet or weird spots amongst the craziness where no one would think to go. I’m currently going through a break up and I’d really like to go be at peace alone

Hi NYC. I live in BK and have noticed the influx of subway surfing occurring, as I’m sure a lot of us have. The other day, on the way home, I was in the last train car on the M when 2 rowdy teenage boys were loudly discussing subway surfing, encouraging each other to do

We booked a table at 4 pm on a weekday at Boqueria at 40th st. When we ordered their seafood paella, the waiter told us it can take an hour to prepare and then we must vacate the table by 5:15, giving us only 15 minutes to eat it. (Nowhere in our opentable reservation did
Their mini dumplings tasted really good, as well as their crab & pork soup dumplings. I just wish they provided more mini dumplings and didn’t add a bunch of lettuce at the bottom of the container to give the illusion that there were more than there actually were.

Had a really uncomfortable experience at brunch at The Commerce Inn in the West Village this weekend that honestly felt discriminatory. I’m a brown woman. I walked in to ask for a table and the host told me there were ZERO spots left and that the waitlist for brunch was completely CLOSED for the day.

Don’t get me wrong, their ice cream is amazing but there are several things about this business that really frustrate me.

I was able to snatch a last minute one person reservation for tonight and was pretty excited, cuz I know it’s hard to get into this place. The experience was, well, underwhelming. The food itself wasn’t bad; it’s not mind blowing, a bit uneven, but generally pretty decent. There aren’t many Cambodian restaurants in NYC,
