New York City is for sellouts

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!

i rly rly want to go to devi

hay dan is there a cover for yr party - some pre post or mid party dancing sounds just right

no cover.

sweet

That guy is more than welcome to move away from New York at any time. But I can understand that he has to live somewhere with public transit, it's hard to drive when you're looking so far down your nose. So his options probably ARE limited.

Ha! Before I got to the middle of the second sentence I thought the voice sounded familiar and unpleasant.

guys where can i buy a toy siren in this city? like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Red-Party-Police-Beacon-Light/dp/B0002VB01K/ref=pd_sbs_sg_4/183-6047788-0210341

so far have tried two different toy stores and a kmart (i wasn't really holding out hope for kmart but it was on my way back to work)

i rrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly would prefer not to set foot into a ricky's today but if ppl are pretty convinced this item might be there, i might do it. but i want some back up before i trek into a ricky's.

Oh my god not Ricky's. Would they even HAVE a toy siren?? I don't think I've ever seen such a thing?

What we need here is to know a cop.

well the one i posted is called something like "party dj siren" so you know. i mean i imagine it's the type of thing you can find VERY easily in a spencer's gifts in phoenix arizona but not so much here (in searching the internet i actually came across a story of a person claiming to have been ticketed by nypd for having one in his bike basket because he was "impersonating a cop").

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY MATT DRUDGE IF I DON'T HAVE A SIREN >:[

i'm just going to stay home!
