is New York City dead?

y'all making me nostalgic

went to economy candy and blew sixty bucks on halloween candy

Going back to the US for the holidays (CT) and going into NYC for one day to run some errands and have Malaysian food. That’s it.

Money spent on candy is notblown - we all need to to eat

feel like this hochul election is gonna be like the new jersey 2021 election with unexpectedly tight polls but a comfortable 4-5% victory

Worth noting that this could be one of the worst cities in the world for Malaysian food. There's an OK place in Sunset Park. And one in Queens. But NY is terrible with SE Asian food. Sydney, NY is not.

not...that...surprising...considering...the proximity...of Malaysia to Sydney...and the relatively...small population... of Malaysians?

Y'all got hot dogs in Sydney?

no one said it was surprising

xps Are you talking about the Hungarian Pastry Shop across from the cathedral? I live near there. There's a great Malaysian restaurant nearby, in Manhattan Valley. It's the only place I ever order from around here pretty much. But it's more of a neighborhood-y takeout spot than a destination for authentic Malaysian food. There was also an amazing Vietnamese place down the street from the Hungarian in the 90's.

Last time I went to that particular place my impression was the food was actually not very good it's more about the old-timey hang or whatever.

The pastries were good

well what did you order? xp

I used to go to the Hungarian a lot with my dad when he was still alive, but I've only been once or twice since he passed away. I was fond of their Hungarian coffee (Americano with almond extract, whipped cream and cinnamon- we were all young once).

Can't even remember what I ordered, sorry.

Also James Redd and the Blecchs you should call me if you're in my hood

If I could choose 5 or 6 ilxors to hang with irl my answer would depend entirely on how many members there are of the Blecchs

:)

There's a good Malaysian place in Hoboken.

i guess this malaysian place didn't make it through covid. it was good! https://www.yelp.com/biz/asian-spicy-curry-pop-up-new-york

I’ve had Malaysian food I liked in queens in elmhust but don’t know what to compare it to.

Not sure about saying southeast Asian food is bad here when insanely great Thai food is plentiful in Woodside/Elmhurst.

A lot of bus drivers, I don’t think they have much experience. They pump the brakes and gas like it’s gran turismo V

better double check its a MTA employee

Hochul gets so few comments on her Facebook posts - no one cares

I feel like I should be friends irl with James and brad, y’all want to get a drink sometime or

Man alive is not invited

Stomp will be stomping its last stomp in January. It had a pretty amazing and frankly inexplicable run in the East Village beginning all the way back in February 1994 (before I was even a twinkle in NYC's eye).

meanwhile, the blue men are still a'blueing

Federal prosecutors would later refer to Belmonte as “a businessman.

https://www.guggenheim.org/event/guggteens-night-at-the-museum

All high school students are welcome to the Guggenheim Museum for GuggTeens Night at the Museum on Friday, January 20, 2023, at 5 pm! This event is free; MetroCards and snacks will be provided. Be sure to RSVP and you will also be entered into the raffle to win prizes, such as art supplies, exhibition catalogues, and museum store giftcards. Come on your own or bring your friends!
Inspired by the exhibition Nick Cave: Forothermore, this evening’s programming will include art-making, film screenings, exploring the galleries, and more! The title of the exhibition, Forothermore, is a new word that reflects the artist Nick Cave’s lifelong commitment to creating space for those who feel marginalized by dominant society and culture—especially working-class communities and queer people of color. GuggTeens Night at the Museum will provide all participants with textiles to repurpose into art with a message, and advocate for those seen as the other.

Do high schoolers of today like Nick Cave, or even know who he is?

I think you may be unclear as to which Nick Cave we're talking about here

Guy from Wings of Desire, right?

Sorry, terrible joke even by my low standards.

GuggTeens??

Xpost wrong dude thread

hello fellow guggteens

Hmm

Two things I've noticed lately in the city: (1) since the pandemic, every fucking thing requires advance purchase of timed tickets, which is annoying, and (2) places are increasingly not letting you use their bathrooms, including the once reliable Starbucks

Wah lol

the lack of accessible public restrooms in nyc is genuinely worth complaining about, especially if you've got a GI issue or a kid or an old person or just need to piss!

xp to forks
Who knew? (everybody but me, apparently)

If you gotta go, it’s alright

it's cool, now you get to check out that Nick Cave's work! He's fuckin awesome!

Preferable to the artist version of Warren Ellis that's for sure.
