The Butternut Squash Lumache may have been my favorite pasta dish in a city full of them. I cannot wait to be back for their next offering during Restaurant Week. submitted by /u/destlp16 [link] [comments]
I’ve been here 25 years and I’m shocked that a few places that were here when I was starting my career here are still here: Mogodor, Corner Bistro, La Bonbonniere, Gray Dog, Arlene’s. It’s mind boggling, especially when so many of my faves have closed. What are your places that have endured over 25 years

I’ll open with obligatory remarks on homeless: 1) they need compassion and support 2) Our capitalist society is inherently unfair and generational poverty can be impossible to escape 3) Reagan and Giuliani and others contributed to the mental health crisis that New Yorkers face everyday.

It seemed like hubris for them to open (8th Ave at W53rd st) practically beside a bustling, long-established mom-and-pop, China Gourmet. The PF Changs was built but stayed unopened for what seemed like a few years before they finally opened and then closed very quickly. Their prices were really high – like every entree was
Today, my coworker took me to a hole-in-the-wall taqueria in Queens, where I had the best quesadilla of my life (I’ve had a lot!). I wanted to mark it on Google Maps but noticed very poor Google reviews rating, 3.4 stars, mostly about hygiene and customer service. It’s a small family-run spot where patrons seem

I know this is a food sub but I thought I’d start here first. My partner and I are in our 50s and like a good, stiff drink on the weekends. However, the last couple of on-trend cocktail places we went to (in Manhattan) were flooded with nothing but 20-somethings. It was kinda shocking, actually.

I’ve been using craigslist to buy and sell stuff since 2006. It’s great. Simple, no-frills, no algorithms, and generally does what it needs to do. Nowadays, craigslist in NYC is a ghost town for buying and selling. When I search for similar queries on Facebook Marketplace vs. craigslist, I get 10x more results. I’m flummoxed.
I’m sometimes shocked to see which business have a number of locations despite being painfully mid but i guess sometimes that just works?? Couldn’t help but think as i keep seeing places that im shocked by the midness. Ok i’ll go first. EDIT: lol i forgot how many offenders i forgot to put on the

Who says NYC has no good mexican food?? This place serves tacos that rival almost any I’ve had in CDMX or LA. And for cheap. They are a true love letter to a dish that I have adored eating and cooking myself for a looong time. Check them out! submitted by /u/fuzzysciencegoblin [link] [comments]

Just a little example: I know an old Mexican man who collects bottles and cans. We have an agreement for him to ring my bell and collect my bag of recyclables once a week. He also helps bring the rest of the garbage to the curb. He has some sort of hookup with a bakery.

For my money, The Bastard is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in the city, and is extremely filling for $19.50.
