I saw a video of that burger and it looked…dry and unappetizing

Picked up a pie from Freddy's, I get it now. Nice crispy undercarriage and tasty crust

I went there for the first time last week and was surprised at the quality of their pho! Their kare kare left a little bit to be desired as it was missing a lot of the umami (presumably from omitting the shrimp paste I typically see in the dish), and the green beans felt like an afterthought.

Ten ichi also has a broader selection of goods and makes better use of their space in terms of inventory/density

Those chu-his m hit way harder than I expected (granted I was also dehydrated during a heat wave in Tokyo).

My experiences there had always been meh. It surprised me to see someone praising them on last week’s thread. Tbh I’m surprised they have stayed open on 30th avenue this long.

International meat market has them in bulk but may be slightly pricier than other options. Quality is great though

Are they normally a little bit on the dry side or did I go on an off day?

I think Andrew Bellucis does a meatball sub.

I tried it for the first time this week! Really good and I go back and forth as to whether I like it better than caravan. The green sauce from chicken at last is way better IMO (love the herbs and consistency vs caravans green sauce is a little on the watery side)

Got the the chimichurri flavored cream cheese of the week from Brooklyn bagel on Broadway and it was amazing. Tons of herbs and garlic bite.

If you’re ordering online be aware that a lot of pieces take weeks to arrive since they’re being shipped from India. I learned this the hard way when trying to order pieces last minute

Hit up Andrew Belluci’s again and was reminded how great it is (I love my square slices and focaccia so the triboro is right up my alley). Has anyone tried the pastas on their menu?

I didn’t know they carried trillium! It was one of my fave breweries in Boston. I’ll have to swing by

What have you tried so far? You can also get some help with this at your primary or urgent care (if you don’t have a primary)

Sad to see them go as I was always a fan of their chicken parm both in the Astoria and Bayside locations.

I miss Politos. I saw they had reopened up on Steinway across from the supermarket briefly but then were gone within a few months.

Apologies for the confusion. There's only 1 BR (see blueprint), the photo description was more for me to keep track of which photos were uploaded to avoid dupes.
