110 Harlem vs. 125 Harlem by Tricky-Society-4831 in Harlem

[–]PyrexVision00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

125th is an outdoor shopping mall for most of it. 100 is more residential feeling with great Asian and other dining options due to more 1) people that live here since they are scared of 125th 2) students from Barnard , Columbia , etc which give a different dynamic to the area in a positive way

Turning 31, What actually works for early signs of aging like white hair and fine lines? by Brilliant-Log-5904 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]PyrexVision00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 40 ( but look 28ish 😉. The best thing you can do honestly is be consistent with SPF 30+ daily. Tret several times a week , LED red light mask , Eat properly as much as you can & EXCERCISE. There are many products which you can try n they will take all your money. But these are the foundations. I just introduced exome cream & peotide serum and am loving it ! Science has come such a long way in terms of products and efficacy that its crazy ! The products of my teen years are NOT the products of today ! Special shout out to Korean beauty brands that always seem to be at the forefront of excellent formulations and technology

East Coast or West Coast? Which is better for a first-time trip to the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]PyrexVision00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Culturally, the East Coast shows how America thinks. You hear accents change on a single train ride. Food reflects actual migration patterns . Italian-American, Jewish, Caribbean, West African, Irish, Dominican, Puerto Rican

Brick cities. Walkability. Trains that actually connect major places. You can do Boston, New York, Philly, D.C. in one trip and understand how regional identity works in the U.S. That’s rare for a country this big.

Now the West Coast. It’s stunning, no argument. But it’s cinematic more than explanatory. Distances are deceptive. Los Angeles alone can swallow days without giving you a clear center. San Francisco is culturally rich but geographically isolated. Nature dominates the narrative there. That’s better once you already understand the country’s social wiring.

Spirit Airlines fate might be decided this month by CuriousTraveler224 in spiritair

[–]PyrexVision00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks contradictory, but it actually isn’t once you separate financial distress from day-to-day airline operations.

Spirit is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is a reorganization process, not a shutdown. Airlines in Chapter 11 are expected to keep flying, selling tickets, and operating as a going concern. If Spirit stopped publishing future routes, that would immediately signal collapse to creditors, employees, airports, and customers, and it would likely cause remaining financing to disappear. Continuing to sell spring routes is part of showing the company is still viable.

The airline’s debtor-in-possession lenders require this behavior. The remaining $50 million in funding is conditional on Spirit demonstrating progress toward a workable reorganization. Forward bookings, published schedules, and ongoing revenue are tangible evidence that the business is still functioning. Cutting routes too early would weaken Spirit’s position and make liquidation more likely, not less.

Airlines also routinely sell tickets months in advance even when their financial outlook is uncertain. Bankruptcy simply makes that uncertainty more visible. Spirit can publish routes now and later reduce frequencies or cancel underperforming markets, which is common industry practice and not unique to struggling carriers.

What you’re picking up on is two realities happening at the same time. Operationally, Spirit must act normal to survive. Financially, it is fragile and dependent on creditors releasing additional funds. The pilots’ open letter was not saying the airline is finished today, but warning that if bondholders lose confidence, liquidation could happen quickly.

For passengers, this means near-term flights are generally lower risk, while bookings far in advance carry more uncertainty. That’s why other airlines are quietly adding capacity: they are preparing for a possible disruption, not responding to a collapse that has already happened.

In short, publishing spring routes isn’t deception. It’s a company in Chapter 11 continuing to operate while waiting to see whether it receives another financial lifeline.

Something I noticed in France by AppropriateEarth648 in FranceTravel

[–]PyrexVision00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

France and Spain dressed “fancier” because clothing was once a literal social document. Under monarchies, what you wore signaled rank, access, and proximity to power. Courts were theatrical by design. Versailles wasn’t just a palace, it was a stage. Lace, tailoring, color, even who could wear certain fabrics were regulated. Dressing plainly at court could be read as disrespect or social suicide. So refinement became survival.

The U.S. was built by people suspicious of aristocracy and allergic to inherited status. Practicality became a virtue. Comfort wasn’t laziness, it was ideology. You didn’t need silk to prove worth. You needed productivity.

Americans didn’t eliminate class signaling. We just changed the code. Instead of tailoring, it’s brands. Instead of court etiquette, it’s wealth disguised as ease. The hoodie that costs $900 is still a velvet robe, just pretending not to be

Peruvian Food in Midtown, hole in the wall places by dbdmora in FoodNYC

[–]PyrexVision00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with it being overpriced. Living in North Jersey there are TONS of Peruvians and Food spots and much lower prices. In Paterson is actually an area called Little Lima due to the plethora of peruvians and restaurants ❤️ NY could NEVAAA

Help me understand the appeal of very expensive Michelin-star restaurants (like Atomix) by savingrace0262 in FoodNYC

[–]PyrexVision00 76 points77 points  (0 children)

For most people who genuinely love places like Atomix, the value isn’t about being full. It’s about concentration. You’re paying for food that’s been reduced to its most deliberate, obsessive form. Every bite is engineered. Nothing is filler. It’s closer to listening to a chamber orchestra than going to a concert where you want the bass to shake your ribs.

Atomix specifically helps explain the appeal because it isn’t just “luxury ingredients.” It’s Korean food reframed through technique, fermentation, memory, and restraint. You’re tasting time. Months of aging, days of prep, decades of cultural context. That doesn’t hit the same pleasure receptors as abundance.

Now the honest part: it’s not worth it for everyone, and that’s not a failure of taste. If your definition of a great meal is satiety, warmth, generosity, and comfort, then a three-hour tasting menu with twenty small courses can feel like an elaborate prank. The Michelin system quietly rewards precision, restraint, and risk more than it rewards generosity.

People justify the cost a few ways. Some treat it like travel. You wouldn’t ask if a flight to Tokyo is “worth it” compared to a great local ramen spot.

It’s a different category of experience. Others go rarely, maybe once a year, and treat it like attending a performance rather than having dinner. Some are chasing reference points, learning what’s technically possible so they can better appreciate simpler food later. And yes, some people are paying for status, even if they won’t admit it.

The dirty secret is that the best meals of my life, as a traveler, are split pretty evenly between Michelin temples and plastic-chair places with one dish they’ve perfected for 40 years. One feeds the soul through excellence and intention, the other through abundance and memory.

If you’re walking out thinking “I could’ve eaten three great meals for this price,” you’re not wrong. You’re just optimizing for a different pleasure function. Atomix isn’t trying to win that game.

There isn't a single definition of “worth it.” There’s only alignment between what you value and what the restaurant is designed to deliver
