dan selzer (and maybs others) you might be interested to know we got a large and interesting disco collection in at the store.
also, dan selzer, since this food is ostensibly about EATING FOOD, I would ask you what is your favorite restaurant in china town?
― ian, Monday, 25 June 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
this food is about food
― dmr, Monday, 25 June 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
is that the disco stuff I looked through a couple weeks ago or more / newer stuff?
MORE, NEW stuff.. the stuff from a month ago or so is mostly all gone. all the high end stuff, anyway. but we have a bunch of disco rarities again. and about 4 bins of new disco 12s.
― ian, Monday, 25 June 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
i will have to come look
― dmr, Monday, 25 June 2007 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm not dan selzer but my go-to's are:
nha trang - 87 baxter (awesome viet) new breen bo - 66 bayard (stick to the shanghai style XLB crab dumplings)
― Steve Shasta, Monday, 25 June 2007 17:48 (sixteen years ago) link
new breen bo = new green bo
place across from new green bo is good too

Oh man, Ian, that last visit to Academy was like, my one alloted record store shopping trip for the year. Actually, I'm going to Jerry's in pittsburgh this weekend which I'm excited about. I didn't get much good disco during that last Academy visit last week, though some nice basics like Knock on Wood...was happier with my cheap rock buys (Roxy's Manifesto, Bryan Ferry's first solo, The Strangler's Gospel..., and TWO vintage old-school boston scene Propellor 7"s from the Post-Punk/DIY bin.
As far as Chinatown, I haven't really eaten there much so I have no favorites. As mentioned above I've been going to Spicy and Tasty in Flushing, which is seriously good.
Back in queens, finally hit Himalayan Yak...the tibet stuff was just ok, but the Nepali stuff was really good, this dry vegetable dish that was out of this world.

(decent hot wings; everything else we had was meh to bad.)
― lauren, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:41 (sixteen years ago) link
(and it came to $50 with two beers.)
― lauren, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link
BUT I LOVE TO SMOKE JOINTS, AMIRITE??

there have been a flurry of excellent (ie, not shitty momofuku garbage in a bowl) ramen shops opening in manhattan and brooklyn, what are your faves?
mine are setagaya, ippudo and rockmeisha (rokkumeisha).
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:48 (sixteen years ago) link
the only time i went by setagaya, the line was way too long. very excited about ichiran opening in gpoint.
not technically ramen, but i really want to try the cold noodles at saburi (japanese chinese place i think i mentioned to you).
― lauren, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I mentioned this on the fried chicken thread but Unidentified Flying Chickens in Jackson Heights was pretty cool
"hot" and "soy garlic" flavors both get the thumbs-up. we asked the waitress abt spicy mustard flavor and she dissuaded us ... I think that one and sweet & spicy just come out of a jar but the other two are original recipes. the skin is real thin & crispy and not greasy. I'm not the kinda guy who eats three huge drumsticks and six wings at a sitting but at this place I devoured me some chickenz.
― dmr, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
One of my japanese coworkers has been repping Setagaya to me real hard lately. Really wanna go. He said try to go at night cuz the poor AC makes it almost unbearable at lucnhtime (in the current weather).
― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
i might venture to say that setagaya is the best ramen shop in the USA...
i got the tsukemen it was majik: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1046/1046326945_43b0c0bbd8.jpg
my friend got the ramen which killed it: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1407/1047166332_27a3fbf7b1.jpg
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
ok i want that RIGHT NOW
― bell_labs, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I know it sounds so good.
― Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link
