Sushi Noz (UES), The GOAT Delivery Sushi.

In a recent post about premium delivery sushi, I wrote: “…in almost every other circumstance, I can enthusiastically recommend Sushi 35 West,” and “Sushi 35 West is outstanding with respect to its consistency, quality, deliverability, and QPR. 3.5/4 stars.” You might wonder: “what are those circumstances in which Sushi 35 West isn’t the most apposite […]

I am writing a book on classic, regional American foods. I spent a week in NYC doing research. Here’s everything I ate:

In addition to all this I had pierogi at Streecha, coffee at Porto Rico, cappuccino at Caffe Reggio, chicken tikka masala at Panna II, and diner breakfast at Waverly Diner. Couldn’t make it to Queens or the Bronx, as much as there were places I was dying to go. Here is everything in the order

Is halal cart food in the city really that unhealthy or is it basically no worse than fast food?

Every time I grab a chicken over rice at 2am drizzled with creamy white sauce, someone’s like “bro that’s so bad for you.” But is it really worse than crushing a McDonald’s combo meal? You’re still getting rice, chicken, salad, pita. So is halal cart food actually a health disaster or is it just NYC’s

Why do so many Brooklyn men seem to fit a specific “archetype”?

This might sound like a shitpost but I’m just genuinely curious! I’ve noticed something kind of funny/interesting since spending more time in Brooklyn. Especially in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick, etc. It feels like a lot of the men fall into this very particular style/vibe or archetype (not sure if this the right word). Think

Restaurant Economics – AMA

Restaurant economics are very opaque in NYC since these businesses never build in public and successful ones rarely share anything about their numbers. We want to give New Yorkers a better idea of how this industry works. If you enjoy this post, we will continue to give monthly numbers including revenues, COGS, and profit —

Sushi 35 West (Midtown), The GOAT Delivery Sushi?

Among all the “premium” sushi delivery options in NYC—Sushi Noz, Kissaki, Nobu, Tanoshi, Sugarfish, et cetera—I more often than not find myself returning to Sushi 35 West. It consistently delivers well, and the quality always punches above its price point. Maybe not surprising for acolytes of NYC legend Masa Takayama, the eponymous chef and owner

For those who lived in NYC on 9/11, but at a location somewhat distant from the World Trade Center itself (for example, Manhattan north of 14th Street or the further-east parts of Brooklyn and Queens) – when and how did you first get the sense that something was amiss?

Was it hearing a loud boom when the first plane hit? Or looking towards Lower Manhattan and seeing a big plume of smoke? Or hearing a bunch of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances screaming by headed for Lower Manhattan? Or being sent home from work or school early for (what might have felt like

Levain’s Bakery

Levain’s Bakery – choco chip and walnut OG cookie! Unreal, had it with a cortado to balance out the sweetness. Would 1000000% recommend, best cookie I’ve had in my life. Also, avoid the double chocolate as it’s a bit too rich – unless you’re into that. submitted by /u/romanarman [link] [comments]

Scam at Penn Station

I recently saw a post about someone getting scammed a significant amount of money around NYU through Zelle (I hope that person has been able to resolve it) and I’m actually so glad I read it because some kids tried to do a similar thing to me, but this time in Penn Station. I know

How effed am I?

Yesterday morning, I saw a RAT in my apartment. I was in the bathroom and I saw it in the hallway. I immediately shut the door and texted the super while I waited outside the apartment. I thought it might be possible that the rat exited underneath the front door, since I saw it close

If I see one more ad for Wonder I’m going to lose my mind

If the regular chains serving Manhattan wageslave slop bowls for 20 dollars weren’t enough, venture capital funded microwaved dishes masquerading themselves as a restaurant have pushed me over the edge. 20 “restaurants” in one ghost kitchen with enough money to shove ads down everyone’s throat, partner with celebrity chefs, and open new locations despite the
