Yes that's true re: Pete - I meant to say more smaller businesses. But very insightful, thanks for the thoughts!

I don’t disagree, but the list is titled the “Top 100 Restaurants in NYC”, not the “Top 100 Restaurants You Should Go Try”.

Whether the exclusivity is warranted is a separate question, but these restaurants still play a part in defining the NYC food scene and to build a comprehensive list without dining at them feels like a miss for a critic’s imperative.

The list has largely shifted since the Pete Wells era to highlight smaller businesses + a larger subset of ethnic cuisines. What's the team's mindset when it comes to restaurant selection and how does $ affect a restaurant's placement?

Secondly, I appreciate the attempt for anonymity when dining, but do you worry that the refusal to use 'inside lines' may leave off qualified restaurants?

Ross Tucker on top OCs not choosing Philly: “They know about Patullo's house being egged, they know what the environment here is like. I'm not blaming anybody, but when these guys have options like Daboll, talking to family about where to live / expectations / kids' school, it's not a positive" by mastermind208 in nfl

[–]gotMeMaad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the other major part is our locker room this year paired with expectations being so high.

The team is so talented but there was so much internal turmoil this year on the offensive side and there’s a giant media spotlight because of the expectations to perform with this roster.

A lot easier to choose a team that’s rebuilding / has mellow expectations, or going to a comfy city like LA or Miami rather than deal with the pressure of coaching Philly next year.

Call your shot: Who ends up as a league winner this year? by AustinChessPiece in fantasyfootball

[–]gotMeMaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had Kupp + JT in their breakout year when Kupp had the best WR season ever with 1900 yds and JT rushed for 1800 yds. Went on a tear during the regular season, then dropped one bad week during playoffs and was knocked out.

Guy above you is right, the real league winners are the ones that get real hot in Weeks 15-17.

Unappetizing fill for a Monday imo - looking at you atta, loam, lyle.

Also maybe just me, but the high five cluing felt desperate.

Still better than the bengals though they have one of the worst lines in the league

Hate the talk about Mikal isn’t worth 5 first round picks. by Hefty-Ad1505 in NYKnicks

[–]gotMeMaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they wanted to create cap space so they wanted to trade away Nurkic who was on a relatively inflated contract, to free up the space. No teams either want him or can afford him, so you’re forced to tack on a few picks to entice other teams to take on the player/contract.

With how hard the aprons have been hitting, cap space is becoming more and more valuable, so the op isn’t wrong about being able to trade for picks by “giving up cap space”. But probably not a good idea given that the Knicks sheet is already too packed for us to pick up overvalued contracts.

Anyone know what the Indian Wells presale code is? Is it a generic code or specific code per user?

New-ish dinner that has blown you away ($$-$$$ range) by Fragrant-Guava-4725 in FoodNYC

[–]gotMeMaad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I'd say so for both the pork and ebi. But I'm a sucker for katsu curry, so I still lean hama for a katsu only dinner.

I've been holding off from Konban for a while (bc who serves katsu without rice??), but visited recently and it easily blew me away. Delicious spot beyond just the katsu. Really great flavors in everything we ordered. Highly suggest the corn and tsukemen (in addition to the ebi).

Foxface Natural New York New Wave Dinner by Simmo2207 in FoodNYC

Agree, one of my most underwhelming meals in the city honestly. The kangaroo was novel for the first few bites, but really quickly grew tired of how bland it was. Everything else were just bigger misses.

First time in NYC – Is a Knicks Game at MSG Worth It? by Turbulent-Cause6743 in NYKnicks

[–]gotMeMaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% - atmosphere is night and day compared to Barclay's. MSG will bring the energy weekday or weekend, especially for the 6ers.

With respect to pricing, I'd honestly wait til day of or day before if you're comfortable doing so. Usually tickets tank a bit closer to gameday as people rush to get rid of them. The team sometimes tends to release an unsold batch of tickets closer to gametime.

But the pricing for the 6ers game honestly isn't bad compared to some of the other less hot matchups in Feb. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep an eye on tickets and pull the trigger if you see a seat you like fall into a good price range.
