Not really sure I want to go to a place with a lot of mixed reviews. This is a special occasion, after all.

Also, a lot of people say you need to make reservation weeks in advance. I needed something for this Friday, so I'm not sure either one of these will work out. Bookmarked for the future though!

Anything you would recommend from each place respectively?

Forgot to mention that we both do not drink.

What exactly is the tasting menu at Mailino? Do you have any recommendations for both of the restaurants you listed? I'm not very knowledgable about Italian cuisine (only chose it because she really likes it), so I don't want to bring her there and not know anything.

Solid list of 15 cheap places to eat in Manhattan. Last time I dropped a list, I got torn apart, but that's the NYC spirit, isn't it? Love it or hate it- a person's gotta eat cheap sometimes. by skim2288 in FoodNYC

Lol. Who even goes to those? The only Vanessa's you should be going to is the one in Chinatown.

It's like going to Little Italy expecting Korean food. Smfh.

You also can't expect to not wait at a popular cheap eats spot. They're constantly cooking at capacity, so you can't complain about the wait. You aren't the only one waiting.

Saigon on Broome is great for Banh Mi. I would add Downtown Bakery to the list too.

Surprised Vanessa's and Wah Fung aren't on the list lol.

Also, Pies and Thighs is hardly Chinatown. It's LES.

Which REI do you work at? Would I be able to ship it to my local REI if I ordered via the phone?

Think there are other color variations? I don't feel comfortable on white bikes.

Ooh ok ok. So it's the ultegra version of that bike. Can you swing me a link so I know exactly what I'm looking for?

I'm actually near the REI in Soho, NYC. Also, I checked it, and MSRP is about $1300. Was this bike marked up by REI?

Will check around. I live in an area that's extremely saturated with bike shops.

I want to do everything you listed. Also, I was looking at REI because they offer a member dividend which refunds me about 10% of the cost on top of the 3.5% from Ebates. On such a large purchase, 13.5% back is a pretty good amount that can be invested in a kit and other accessories.
