I make decent bank but looking at restaurant prices these days (I should say the last couple of years) has really given me pause. I guess I really haven’t made the mental inflationary adjustment and the thought of spending $100+ for two on a typical dinner or even lunch has me usually noping out and

Starting a new training program called fat a** runs. Where me, the fat a** runs to a bakery of my choosing to get a sweet treat that cancels out the whole run I just did. Today’s run was motivated by babka. I ran 10 miles around Manhattan and over the Williamsburg bridge to Oneg Bakery

Hi badass NYC redditors. I need some help. I, a style-less nerd, have somehow produced a daughter who is very into fashion. She understands trends, she draws, she sews (learned how to use a sewing machine via a free class at our local library). We are going to be in the city in late May,

Had to spend an extended amount of time (3.5 weeks) in NYC for work so I turned it into the ultimate food tour for myself. I can honestly say I did not have a bad meal. How did I do? Tsukemen noodles at Okiburo House of Tsukemen: 11/10 noodles were perfectly chewy and bouncy Chicken

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
I grew up eating Chinese takeout in Massachusetts / New England and I feel like it’s VERY different from what I’ve been finding in NYC. Boneless spare ribs that are sweet, a little sticky, slightly fatty (not dry or super lean) Crispy crab Rangoon’s that are super thin And duck sauce that has apple sauce

https://hainannyc.com Google Maps page Hainan is one of the places I recommend for Korean-Chinese food and to satisfy jajangmyeong cravings. Their regular jajangmyeon is $5.99 cash price for dine-in. A bit more for take-out and with credit card. This was very good for the price. Very saucey with thick, chewy noodles. They have others that
I am sorry to be grim – I came across the body of a man who had very recently jumped off a building on 23rd street by 7th ave yesterday at 7pm. The cops wouldn’t arrive for another 15 minutes or so, though I thankfully did not see him hit and had my headphones in

I’m genuinely so sick of their shit. They’re literally just 100 ”restaurants” in one, horrible frozen food microwaved and designed (probably even ai-generated) to look good in their ads, taking loads of money from actually delicious small businesses. I suggest trying Ladybird or PLNTBurger for good healthy vegetarian stuff rather than “Hanu Poke by Wonder”

So Sysco seems to be EVERYONES food supplier and I’m wondering if there are any must try places that have other suppliers?

Has it occurred to us that the trendiest restaurants in NYC – according to influencers who just landed here yesterday – really just serve slightly elevated versions of common midwestern food?

Very good sandwich, though not necessarily a great one. This brisket melts in your mouth immediately, but I actually wish this were a little more toothsome.

I only eat here once or twice a year, usually when bringing visitors. Every time, it’s a great experience. The pastrami practically melts in your mouth, and the melted cheese blends in perfectly.
