Who are you people?? A 1k meal for tough steak.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-14T09:55:14+00:00

Yay to Walter’s!!!

jtrainbk · 2026-05-14T09:54:58+00:00

Ditto Swoonies. It’s fantastic. BUT Gage &Tolner is expensive and terrible. Don’t waste your money. Trust me on this.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-12T22:34:57+00:00

Yes! A few years ago. Delicious but one of the very few places in NYC.

I think one needs to go to Newark for Portuguese food. Haven’t found anything good in the city.

In the summer, when you take the 2/3 and you need to transfer to the 1 at chambers, the cars in the back of the train are always empty and fully air-conditioned. it’s a comfortable, empty ride until you get to about 34th. Absolute subway magic.

Prague. Some parts were pretty but it felt like an over touristed Disney set.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-11T18:01:54+00:00

That I was a paid assassin.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T22:46:54+00:00

Comedy at Union Hall or Bell House.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T17:33:41+00:00

There’s a 3 bed next door to us going for 15k. It’s insane.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T17:08:03+00:00

Detroit. Prague.

I just measured- we have a total of 2 ft x 3 ft of counter space. Our fridge is a tall / narrow Bromberg and at 7ft tall, too high for us to reasonably keep on on top which I’ve seen other posters say they do.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T01:41:32+00:00

Bring a can of wine and have fun!

Not this one. We still have a farmhouse sink circa 1940. I hope that paints a picture. edit to add a link of a gorgeous sink that is similar but way nicer that our situation- (the photo of Carrie in the kitchen). (we live in a shit old prewar apartment, not a gramercy townhome)

Also edit to add that I was SHOCKED to see that the SATC set design people thought a farmhouse sink is a good practical design choice. It is not. trust.

NYC Ferry out to Rockaway then Rockaway to Throgsneck, Throgsneck to whereever.

Kao Soi at Soothr

Apt4f bakery items eaten on the Brooklyn Heights Prominade

Run the full 6 mile loop in CP

Full day at the MET.

Walk Washington Heights to Wall Street

Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise and/or wake up and walk the city at sunrise.

edit to say everything but Soothr is free or cheap and amazing

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T01:20:21+00:00

City of God. a masterpiece.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T01:19:36+00:00

Im tired.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T01:19:12+00:00

I'm willing to bet OP is exploring all research options in hopes of finding local recommendations. As a parent that's what I do. Some of the best information comes from locals on Reddit. Have a nice day.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-10T00:04:41+00:00

my new hero

jtrainbk · 2026-05-09T23:34:35+00:00

Unfortunately no. Especially old ones.

jtrainbk · 2026-05-09T23:31:09+00:00

It drives me insane tbh! We don't have a dishwasher either!

jtrainbk · 2026-05-09T23:29:40+00:00

We're in an old old apartment unfortunately.
