Birdee- cherry pistachio milk bun was a 10. the churro croissant was ok, i just wish it had filling. the blueberry lemon twist also great. the BEC however was too salty. still good, just not great. 8.2 Bernie’s- wedge salad, vinegar chicken, mozz sticks, and the lemon ice box pie was amazing. the overall vibe,

I priced the same groceries at 12 NYC stores. The difference is kinda insane

I spent some time pricing out the same staples across stores in different neighborhoods. The gaps are genuinely wild, but not in the way you’d expect. Here’s what a dozen eggs costs right now: – H-Mart (Amsterdam Ave): $9.99 – Pioneer Supermarket (Columbus Ave): $9.99 – Whole Foods (UWS): $7.99 – Key Food (Amsterdam): $6.79

Is it just me or is it just ridiculously more expensive to dine out, and the rise has been quite recent?

I’m a frugal diner, usually solo, and I’m always very calculative about meals. I like going to normal restaurants, nothing much upscale, and I usually order 2 things max (entree + either app, dessert, or non alcoholic drink) I feel like even a year or year and a half ago I used to spend between

Do y’all just get on the subway and go somewhere in the city you’ve never been to explore?

I’ve never been to a traditional big city before, I live in Texas and all of ours are glorified suburbs lmao. Because of that I just drive where I need because there’s nothing interesting but I feel like NYC would be different but maybe I’m wrong. If I were to ever live there I’m sure

Local pizzeria very likely has a credit card skimmer on the mag strip reader. Is there any place to report this?

Had a gift card that had $100 on it, I’ve had it sitting around for a long while but didn’t use it for the first time until the other day. The card had no chip and could only be swiped, and I spent $17 at a pizzeria in West Village. Went straight back home and

Best authentic Hong Kong wonton noodle soup in NYC? Just got back from my first trip there and I’m chasing that flavor!

I just got back from a trip to Hong Kong and had the best wonton noodle soup I’ve ever tasted. Super delicate wontons, thin springy noodles, and a subtle but flavorful broth. Both the pork and shrimp dumplings were amazing – the shrimp had a slight umami, salty flavor and the pork kind of tasted
