3 day solo trip to NYC

Took my first trip to NYC earlier this month! I stayed in Midtown but did try to venture further around Manhattan to try lots of different foods. The only thing that isn’t pictured is my Reuben dog from Schaller’s Stube Sausage Bar, which was good but it was way too dark to take a picture.

I’m part of a burger league trying 20+ burgers in NYC. These are my stats so far. Any places we should add?

Since September I’ve been part of a burger club that’s trying a bunch of different burgers across NYC. I created a pretty rudimentary rating system so that I could determine which places packed the biggest punch in a somewhat objective style lol For burger lovers, thought this could be a cool resource 🙂 I haven’t

Hit by a person in the subway and they tried to take my phone. Unable to give a police report?

On Sunday in the middle of the day at Atlantic Av-Barclays subway station, a man (6+’ ft black man and I’m a 5′ Asian woman) approached me and snatched my phone. While trying to ask for it back, the man hit me really hard in the chest. I was able to get my phone back

Why is it so difficult to live anywhere else in the world after leaving New York City?

NB. I lived in Paris. Toulouse. Casablanca. Seoul. Dubai. Austin. Salt lake City. San Francisco and Jersey City. Every place of these has its own charm, but none has everything. Business. Fun. Multicultural. Food. Networking. Amazing people … Edit: A friend of mine said: in New York the highs are too High and the Lows

Carbone is Just Olive Garden for People Who Own Yachts Instead of Camrys

Let’s be real for a second: Carbone is the Olive Garden of the ultra-rich. It’s a vibe-heavy, nostalgia-dripping Italian-American joint dressed up in tuxedos and truffle oil. Think about it: • Overly rich sauces? Check. • Endless “family-style” platters that somehow cost $85? Check. • A menu designed to hit every craving from chicken parm

25, unemployed, still living at home—any NYC programs or resources that can help me start over?

Hey y’all, I’m a 25-year-old guy living in NYC. I’m unemployed right now, my credit’s not great, and I’m still living at home. It’s not the best environment (emotionally or otherwise), and I know I need to move on—but money’s tight, the job market’s rough, and I feel stuck. I’ve had jobs in the past,

What would you say are some of the big cultural differences between NYC and London?

was having a discussion about this with my coworkers. We commonly go to London for work, and one of them is Indian-born but grew up partially in London. A big one we all came to agreement with was that Londoners are kinda cold and aloof whereas new yorkers are very fiery and impassioned. Both are

NYC Restaurants should have a website with an easily located somewhat-current pdf of all their menus with prices.

If they are new to me and don’t do this? They are dead to me. No insta/fb/other dumb service that requires logging on. No “enter your address” automatic delivery/pickup page. No websites with the only way to read the menu is through some huge overelaborate nonzoomable webpage. No fucking gimmicks – or if you must

Am I being scammed? I’m in a taxi from LGA going into Manhattan. The meter says $70. The driver said it’s a flat rate from LGA. I think he’s lying but I’m already in the car on the freeway. Did something change? I’ve never been charged flat rate from LGA, but I usually take the bus/subway.

Restaurants’ Migration from Resy (back) to Opentable

I’ve received notices from several prominent restaurants in the last couple of months that they’re moving their reservations book back to OpenTable. One of these restaurants that I go to extremely often told me they grew tired of Resy’s many mandates for preferential treatment of Amex customers. I know this part of the business is

do you get surprised by the unwalkability of the rest of the us?

i saw this image, i cant put it here, but it says, “emergency hotline opening for new yorkers who though they’d “just walk there” in another city” over an image of a person walking on a highway. pretty funny is there truth to this exaggeration? any interesting stories? submitted by /u/Traditional-Play-753 [link] [comments]

We just got this sandwich from Radio Bakery and it’s the best sandwich I can remember eating and I am telling everyone about it

Burrata, prosciutto, basil on focaccia. Just incredible. I couldn’t believe how good it was. Miraculous. We got in right under the wire too, by the time we finished eating they were out of food for the day. I consider myself so lucky that I got to have this. submitted by /u/smokedoor5 [link] [comments]
