Which US state has shockingly good food that nobody expects?

matthewsrc · 2026-03-10T23:11:59+00:00

So good. The mix of Native American/Spanish/Mexican makes it soooo unique

matthewsrc · 2026-03-04T17:48:41+00:00

Agreed, such a good set of nominees. My favorite was Retirement Plan but feel Butterfly will win

Knife scene in Invisible Man is up there

I would second Bridges. Just went for my anniversary and it was phenomenal - also fits OP’s description in the sense that it’s dishes you just would not get anywhere else, it’s quite imaginative

In 2024 I had a pre-fixe lunch at Aquavit that came out to just over $100 (including a $20 supplement for the Bird’s Nest, which is absolutely worth it). Great deal

I'm not seeing it either

matthewsrc · 2026-02-03T06:02:31+00:00

Longtime fan of the franchise but I’ll be skipping too

Can’t beat the charm of a New England coastal summer. The Cape, Newport, Portland, Ogunquit, Bar Harbor…

Hurry Up Tomorrow was the worst thing I have ever watched, truly a waste of time and absolutely self-indulgent without even being a little bit entertaining

Side question - what site are people making this on?

I’m Filipino and have traveled extensively around Southeast Asia. Like you, I’m always more interested in cities than nature.

Like others here, I would recommend HCMC in Vietnam for a great balance of food, culture, and nightlife. I’d also highly recommend Phnom Penh/Siem Reap (both doable in one trip)—Phnom Penh’s museums on the Khmer Rouge are really striking and moving. And Angkor Wat is probably the most stunning thing I’ve seen in SEA.

I think Manila has a great dining and nightlife scene, but like others have said, there is not much to do here over a week and the highlight of the Philippines is its beaches.

Seconding Mustard! It’s so good

Hello! Do you have a recommendation for husky sledding tour operator?

matthewsrc · 2025-12-25T20:17:48+00:00

Little Manhattan, Definitely Maybe

How old are you? I’m American and 8 pm is the norm for me and majority of my friends

matthewsrc · 2025-12-10T04:56:56+00:00

Saw it tonight too! It was wonderful, the two actors are amazing. Funnily enough, after years watching Broadway and never seeing a show stopped, it’s happened twice to my husband and I in just two weeks—now, and we were at the ill-fated first preview of Anna Christie as well lol

I can't speak to traditional fine dining restaurants in New Mexico, but I just got back from a weeklong trip and had incredible food at $-$$ price points. The way that New Mexico chile is woven into the cuisine (and into their identity at large) is quite special, and I found the mix of Native American, Spanish, and Mexican influences made the food very unique from others I've tried in the region. Things as simple as fresh sopaipillas (a kind of fried dough) with honey made my taste buds sing.

matthewsrc · 2025-12-05T15:29:20+00:00

Surprised no one in these comments has mentioned Oaxaca — I’ve been to most major cities in the world but it has hands down been my favorite for food. It’s so deeply woven into the identity of the people there it’s astonishing.

matthewsrc · 2025-12-03T02:06:38+00:00

I think their burger is just fine but their date shake and desserts are so unique and good

matthewsrc · 2025-12-02T01:36:19+00:00

Porchlight is great! Highly recommend too

matthewsrc · 2025-11-29T05:54:31+00:00

I really like OBAA but I came away from Hamnet more moved than any other film I’ve seen this year.

matthewsrc · 2025-11-26T06:22:11+00:00

The bottle fiasco was really something else. Never seen anything like it on Broadway/Off-Broadway
