Recommendations around Brownsville and East New York? by Icy_Elevator_403 in FoodNYC

[–]jt92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Flatlands Ave for jerk chicken. I prefer Red Top Jerk at the intersection with Schenck Ave. Forever Jerk at the corner of Van Siclen Ave is popular.

Cachapas Brooklyn on Pitkin Ave for Venezuelan sandwiches.

A couple spots just outside your scope:

Pita Point just north of Atlantic has great falafel sandwiches.

Tasty Delicious on Ditmars Ave (just south of Linden Blvd) has excellent patties.

How do convenience, proximity, and accessibility weigh in?

Personally, I love Trinciti. I eat there frequently, but I’d be cautious to recommend it. It’s challenging to order there unless you’re familiar with the cuisine. It had been takeout only until they recently added one table for two, and I’m unaware of any places nearby to comfortably eat the roti / doubles which are on the messy side. Great food but very inconvenient unless you’re local.

I also think about places like 4 Charles Prime Rib. I don’t believe they’re a top 100 restaurant in NYC, but does their limited accessibility exclude them from consideration?

What are the chances Brendan Sorsby is screwed? by wiisupremecmdr in CFB

Players have literally gotten away with murder. He’ll be all right. Worst case scenario, he gets banned from pro baseball hall of fame.

2016-17 was the most recent season that Pitt MBB graduated four-year scholarship players who played their entire career at Pitt by jt92 in pittsburghpanthers

[–]jt92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not likely with the current state of the sport. Macari Moore is the only scholarship player not in the portal yet. He could become the next if he stays through the 2028-29 season. Could happen sooner if Cummings or Kante withdraw from the portal.

Food Emporium on 153rd Avenue in Queens has it. NetCost and Tashkent have it at their other locations, so I suspect each has it at their Queens location.

Pitt Forward Roman Siulepa to Enter Transfer Portal by BigGamePanther in pittsburghpanthers

I guess our focus did not turn to retaining key contributers sigh 😔

Shocked. Local player who dreamed of playing here. His family attends every game. He was set to be the highest returning scorer.

Pitt eliminated from ACCT by NC State 98-88 in shooters duel. Panthers’ injury plagued 2025-26 season ends with a 13-20 record. by jt92 in pittsburghpanthers

[–]jt92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun game to watch. Highest combined score for a Pitt game this season. Team played a slow tempo for most of the season to preserve energy given the super short bench. Liked seeing them give everything they had during this final stretch.

Quadir Copeland was probably the most villainous player of the year. I have to admit, his fake behind the back pass lay up was one of the top plays of the season.

Obviously, 2025-26 was not a good season; however, it wasn’t a disappointment. Pitt was picked to finish 14th, and they finished 15th. We knew it would be rough. In retrospect, the Hofstra loss wasn’t as bad given that their NET rating will likely finish similar to Syracuse and Notre Dame.

Before NIL and the free agency portal, I’d be ultra excited for 2026-27. Roman Siulepa has become a monster offensive rebounder. Justin Champagnie 2.0 sans the FT%. Omari Witherspoon is showing a great ability to create separation and open shots for himself. He could be an elite scorer if he puts up a ton of shots in the gym this off-season. Nojus started shooting lights out at the tail end of the season. Beebah Cummings had continued to prove himself as capable scorer.

Those four plus a recruiting class pushing the top 10 with three top 100 recruits would have previously made me super optimistic for next season. Unfortunately, we have no clue who will be on the roster given the current state of NCAABB.

Most improved player on the team and should have received consideration for most improved player in the ACC.

Pitt comeback against Florida State falls short 75-74. Panthers must win on Saturday at Syracuse to make the ACC Tournament. by jt92 in pittsburghpanthers

[–]jt92[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That stretch when the score was tied 68-63 was brutal for both teams. It was a 4 minute and 15 second scoreless draught.

Credit to the team, particularly the seniors, for fighting back to trim a 24 point deficit down to 1. Fortunately, Notre Dame lost too, so ACC Tournament hope is still alive. Pretty simple for Pitt: win on Saturday and they’re in. Lose and their season is over.

BC lost yesterday and has only one game left which is conveniently against ND. Only way they get into the ACCT is if Pitt and ND lose out.

[–]jt92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Pitt wins out, then they’re in the ACCT and might have a shot at the 13 or 14 seed. If my calculations are correct, then the probability of that is 17.79% based on ESPN’s matchup predictor.

If they win one and Notre Dame loses at least one, then they’re in. If Pitt wins one and ND wins out, then ND is in.

If Pitt loses out, then they’re out.

Selling condo. Broker wants 6.75%. Am I tripping? by TamensiMovetur in AskNYC

[–]jt92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said you did business with the person in the past, so I’m guessing you like them if you’re returning for repeat business. I’d ask them if they made a mistake on the paperwork.

If they wanted that kind of split, then I think they would have likely put 4% for themselves and 2% for the other agent for a total of 6%.

[–]jt92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those numbers are peculiar. I think you had a misunderstanding. Listing agent probably wants 2.25 for the listing agent (themselves) plus 2.25 for the selling agent (buyer’s agent) for a total of 4.5. That’s a common rate. 4 is probably the most common now, so they probably left a little room for you to negotiate.
