New York City is for sellouts

I want bar b q. i wonder if they still have free bourbon w/ food night.

there are threads about new york everything except new york hotels

no i think there's a hotels thread.

u like bar b q ian - i wasnt feeling it

theres a hotel around the corner from my gfs place that looks pretty nice from the outside called akwaaba mansion

just remembered, i think i go to new york in late march/early april, probably crash w friends in park slope

park heights/hill

I've never stayed in a New York hotel. My parents once rented a room with its own kitchen in a B&B on the UWS. The room was large and comfortable and pretty and the view was amazing and they loved it, but while not extravagantly priced for a whole suite, it's still not exactly an affordable crash pad.

Normally they crash w me and I sleep on the couch lol

I need somewhere to stay in New York City.

Hotels in NYC?

theres that dire looking new best western or whatever down by gowanas - i always laugh when i see it - so incongruous

expost::

yes i like bar b q. i used to live around the corner and ate there a lot. you can get a ton of food really cheap. the smoked hot wings are A-MAZING. i like the pork, doused in the vinegar sauce. it was often crowded and/or playing bad music. but one time the chef talked to me & my friend about the Feederz.

it looks like bar b q closed over the summer and re-opened as a bar & grill?

RIP gigantic smoked hot wings ;_;

I will definitely continue to rep for the Indian food in Jersey City even as I have otherwise abandoned that place. Particularly Dosa Hut and Sri Ganesh Dosa House. Does Queens have much South Indian?

Rasoi is also pretty good for standard north Indian -- better than the 6th st. places anyway.

There's also a ton of good Indian in Iselin and Edison, and there were good Dosa places along Route 27 btw New Brunswick and Princeton (liked to stop there in my Rutgers days on the way to the Record Exchange)

i went there once and the food was ok but i really didnt like the vibe xp

yeah the vibe was often totally crummy. the music was either indie from an ipod or bad electric blues on the jukebox.

Has nobody since this thread was revived clicked on "show all posts" then done ctrl-f on "mr steve"? It must just be me that remembers it. Lulz.

there's a new-ish hotel on meeker overlooking the bqe. my favorite incongruously -located best western is the city view in long island city, opposite the cemetery.

lol mr steve internet police!

well i was way wrong re: hotel threads

btw i don't recommend throwing a hotel party because ppl will put applejacks in yr bed O_o

Queens doesn't have much South Indian, one Dosa place and a few snack places, that are good in a pinch, but not quite as good as Jersey City, and nowhere near as good as what I've had in Iselin, which is the only place I've had really mindblowing south-indian.

The newest trends that are appearing in NY over the last few years were the indian-chinese, and Nan King, which locations in Jersey City and Jackson Heights, is good, and now Jackson Heights is getting a lot of Nepali/Tibeten food, as that seems to be a quickly growing population over here.

We also have the controversial Spicy Mina, which the Chowhounders generally rank, but I've found just decent the two times I've gone.

I went to a good Dosa place in Hicksville Long Island as well. It's near the Ikea and easier for me to drive to then Red Hook or Elizabeth.

I haven't eaten at enough Curry Hill places.

Joy was good for basic indian but other then that Brooklyn completely sucks. There's some hardcore bengali places out near midwood and kensington but who knows.

btw i don't recommend throwing a hotel party because ppl will put applejacks in yr bed O_o

is this true!

WELL I NEVER

there is good indian food all over the ny area. is there a better place for indian food in america?

Yes, actually, I was dehydrated and hungry and wanted cereal at 1am. I ate it in Ally's bed. ADMITTEDLY it ended up everywhere but that wasn't my fault, that was because durnk boys spilled/threw it.

indiana xp

there's a lot of Indians in cali, right? i've never had indian food there though.

NY is way better for indian food than CA

tza is not a boy, miss laurel. i still sometimes have to hear about this incident you know O_o

ppl should come to dan's night of the living disco dead party tonite, btw. you can get really drunk then go home and throw cereal.

I was going to spare TZA, tho; I think JW started it.

gabbneb have you eaten indian in lawndale, ca

I'm thinking of following the Danger Party free hijinx in the city, altho I will prob bow out before the $$ section starts at the indoor location. I have to be up early tomorrow.

i'm supposed to go to a friend's party in stuyvesant town

i might go to the chinese restaurant disco thing

i always thought hevali east was the best of the 6th street places

i just went to this place last weekend:

o luv m shanghai!

hav never been down to the venue tho

it's cozy.

will there be trick or treating for dumplings tho

bobbing for soup dumplings.

i like how this is just the nyc chat thread now

if you can't beat 'em, discuss regional obscurities until they go away.

M Shanghai's soup dumplings are AWESOME.

I also have to give props to the high-end indian in NY. I really loved Amma and Devi, especially Amma since it's so cozy. Definitely places to let the parents pay, if you're so lucky to have parents in the area who like to take you to nice restaurants.

let's do this right...

sellout this!
