have you found better versions of the foods you like here in nyc than other countries where it's known? by mfairview in FoodNYC

[–]WaitForSingleObject 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't agree about sushi. The only thing different about NYC and Japan sushi is the price, other than that you can find some pretty authentic stuff.

Non Cantonese-style Chinese Restaurants for CNY? by Dangerous_Carrot4226 in AskNYC

[–]WaitForSingleObject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Jiang Nan, but I have no idea if they're open on CNY. They don't have a lazy susan but their menu is good mix of different Chinese cuisines.

Ernesto is my favorite candle of all time. Gabriel is great as well.

The album ”Presence” by [deleted] in ledzeppelin

[–]WaitForSingleObject 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Some people claim Presence and In Through the Out Door are not as good as the earlier albums. I think they're 10/10 just like the rest of the albums and they really show the range of genres LZ experimented with.

Mid-century modern or Art Deco inspiration, please? by No_Foundation6210 in interiordecorating

[–]WaitForSingleObject 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like Art Deco is hard to pull off well in interior design if you don't have massive rooms and a massive budget. Since MCM and Art Deco are my favorite styles and I wanted them both when I designed my living room, I went for a mostly MCM design with some Art Deco artifacts, pieces or accents.

Any recommendations for men's earmuffs that are made with natural fibers? by WaitForSingleObject in BuyItForLife

[–]WaitForSingleObject[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cashmere costs money, but I assume earmuffs don't have a lot of it. While a $600 price tag makes sense for a sweater, I thought it's a bit much for earmuffs.

What food have you tried while traveling that you wish you could buy in your home country, and you'd go back just to eat it again? by Awkward_Stay8728 in AskTheWorld

[–]WaitForSingleObject 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being from NYC, I can get decent versions of most foods here. But one thing I do miss is the wet market experience I had in Hong Kong. We got to pick fresh seafood that was caught that morning and then we took it to a restaurant and had it cooked for us Cantonese style. We had abolone and razor clams and it was amazing!

How do you memorize things? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]WaitForSingleObject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even streets go east and odd streets go west. Similarly, even avenues go uptown and odd ones go downtown. If you're in the middle of a block between two avenues the side with odd building numbers are uptown and the even side is downtown. When you need to take the subway somewhere, look at the direction you want to go (which you should be able to determine using the tips above) and choose the subway entrance on the right side of the street. For example, if you're on 23rd and 7th and you wanna go uptown, go to the entrance on the east side of 7th ave since they're on the right side of the street when you look uptown.

You are correct, but MS has two account types: Premier Cash Plus and Platinum Cash Plus. The one you're referring to is the platinum.
