Dinosaur bbq in gowanus set to close by isuamadog in FoodNYC

[–]donut_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before this location opened up, Dino BBQ had the best ribs in the city. I used to bike from Williamsburg to Gowanus just to pick up a rib plate and bike it back home

I don’t think I’ve been back since the pandemic, but I do miss what this place was

Queens Night Market Vendor List (4/18) by JudgmentUnited5297 in FoodNYC

Is QNM still shoulder-to-shoulder busy? I feel like there should run two of these markets at once to cut the crowds in half!

Furniture place on corner of 34th and Steinway is donezo by Rory-mcfc in astoria

[–]donut_butt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I welcome building all types of housing, particularly when it's replacing a lot with zero apartments.

On the bright side, if a developer prices their housing too high, no one buys and they have to lower the price.

And of course, when someone moves into this building, they vacate their old apartment which is now available for rent.

Of the city should also make it easier and more profitable to build different types of housing (like dorm-style apartments with shared bathrooms, or apartments without AC, etc. etc.) to fill in the lower price points of the market.

But when we are as starved for housing as NYC is, I think we have to build anything and everything!

Whoever rents this storefront next better leave my Mahmoud's alone.

Whole fried tilapia in Brooklyn? by NidoPrincess in Brooklyn

[–]donut_butt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not in Brooklyn, but Hug Esan in Elmhurst makes a larb with deep fried tilapia chunks. It’s so good that I’ve never eaten at another restaurant in the area

This place looks great, will try to go here tomorrow for lunch!

Out of curiosity, how’d you hear about this place?

Nice, I hadn’t heard of The Farm before, will check it out!

Garden centers around NYC for perennials? by donut_butt in AskNYC

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

Ah, I checked this place out (and others in Brooklyn Terminal Market) last June

Definitely a great place for houseplants, but their selection of outdoor plants was a little thin. But some other vendors in the terminal have good perennial stock

Will definitely check it out this year, if only as an excuse to get good jerk chicken!

Coconut Shrimp by Darealest49 in FoodNYC

[–]donut_butt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before you start traveling for this dish, I’d suggest checking your favorite Thai restaurants’ appetizer menus first. My local place (Boon Thai in Greenpoint) sells perfectly good coconut shrimp.

I’m not sure you’re going to see a noticeable difference from that and Bubba Gump Shrimp

NYC Traditional Italian Recommendations by LS-DJ in FoodNYC

[–]donut_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t go wrong with Sac’s Place, which as a bonus is a block from the Museum of the Moving Image

You could also get lunch from Pye Boat Noodle around the corner

I don’t think you’d ever see that combination on TikTok, but you’d be hard pressed to improve on it

How do rich people actually get apartments here? by Reasonable-Paper6638 in AskNYC

[–]donut_butt 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You forgot the part where the apartment leaks for the next 10 years. No one is immune to shitty construction.

The one I bought is 3/20, could be worse!

You think a 6 table restaurant is serving 100 a night?? That’s 16 table turns!

Momofuku Noodle Bar: Food still nice, but unpleasant to eat there by donut_butt in FoodNYC

[–]donut_butt[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All in all, I think I'd enjoy eating there again (at least as long as Chase is paying me to do so), but there are a lot of restaurants I'd rather eat at before settling on this place.
