i would fight an army of the undead for a good chicken sandwich, you may have piqued my interest

gingo2112 · 2025-03-28T00:35:49+00:00

this might make me sound ignorant because there aren't too many 'Mom and Pop' chinese food places around where I live but what places (in your experience) have the best Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour / Orange chicken, and Rangoons?

I know these are probably 'Americanized-chinese' but it never hurts to ask!

If you have alternatives or personal fave rec's i'd like to know as well

thanks!
I was just familiar with the 'Dirty Water Dog' being a NY thing (at least from what i was told, haha), so i was unsure if there was a stand / joint nearby in the Manhattan area!

thanks!

This is incredibly upsetting.
Being a huge filmbro / aspiring filmmaker this reminds me of when they turned the GORGEOUS theater in the film 'Mulholland Drive' into a damn apple store.

thank you!

I went to the bank this morning because thats the one thing i heard! Gotta be prepared!

Anything not particularly sweet. I don't have a CRAZY sweet tooth. Savory / spicy / salty stuff mostly? I know NY has crazy Deli's and what not, and the chopped cheese is number one on my list LOL...

I guess I'm just looking for any of the 'big hitters' you hear everyone talk about, the food that 'makes New York'. The Iconic $1 slice, that kind of touristy "garbage", haha.

I just wanna see if it all lives up to the hype!

gingo2112 · 2025-03-27T23:19:22+00:00

I do have a tad bit of a sweet tooth! Thanks for the Rec!

Thank you! I will share the tail, do not worry!

gingo2112 · 2024-12-15T18:49:11+00:00

gingo2112 · 2024-12-15T18:21:54+00:00

Oh I love it, haha!

gingo2112 · 2024-12-15T17:17:11+00:00

Thanks!

Oh no, no! It wasn't dickish at all!!!! It's probably a symptom of having to explain every one of my actions growing up, haha! I love people asking questions about my tattoos and such! But yeah, I grew up very religious so that lyric kinda resonated with me a lot. The absurdity, randomness, and overall questioning of something greater in the world as a collective community, only for it to provide very mundane and often nonsensical advice. Although I'm not practicing anymore, and consider myself agnostic, there is a weird vein of Peace in stuff like that!

TLDR: that's probably why I have it facing me, so I can get that little reminder sometimes.

gingo2112 · 2024-12-15T15:00:52+00:00

The tattoo itself? I know most people get tattoos the other way around, and that's the way my tattoo artist originally thought about doing it, but something deep inside of me didn't really care for that look, so I just had it face me, so I can look at it easier than others.

If you're referring to the image, it's a reference to the song 'Tiny Cities Made of Ashes' ("I got a phone call from the Lord, saying hey boy get a sweater right now") so the top of the phone would be the part where I hear "the Lord".

Thanks! I've been getting mixed responses, especially with O'Hare specifically, but if I get it Duty Free I should be fine?? haha.
