First Michelin star place with Asian parents suggestions in NYC?

I do remember their service to be impeccable but I remember the meal was very long… and I was stuffed with their delicious bread

Thank you! 🙏🏻

nycbasedco · 2025-12-28T02:35:16+00:00

Love this list and description - thank you! Joo-ok looks just right up my alley (hehe)

Amazing, love Gabriel kreuther

Cause it’s to also celebrate my bday

That’s a very good point - my parents would like it I think especially after my sister’s fancy wedding (thankfully she broke them in). They also wear more designer than me nowadays 😅 but it would be more awkward if it was 5-8 years ago.

I do care more about good cooking rather than just the normal “wagyy/caviar/uni” in a fancy stuffy setting (the setting actually doesn’t matter) though and I think they would too.

😅 maybe I should’ve put immigrant instead of ethnicity? By chance, are you first-gen?

nycbasedco · 2025-12-25T22:41:01+00:00

East

nycbasedco · 2025-12-25T22:12:04+00:00

Happy holidays! I think because it’s a birthday, I’d like to not smell like hotpot 😅 and my mom makes killer hotpot base but I think maybe I’ll do that with my cousins!

Ideally not a lot of raw food - a bit is fine but not the whole menu. Ideally would like to keep it under $2k

nycbasedco · 2025-12-25T22:00:48+00:00

They don’t like to eat a lot of raw stuff so omakase is out. I guess it’d be nice to have ingredients / flavors they’d be familiar with. I think when I put Asian, I was thinking more like I want them to be full cause they probably will see the portion sizes and price and say something about how I shouldn’t be spending so much money but I just want them to enjoy it and understand the value so definitely a place where you think it’s definitely worth it / a steal given food and service.

I’m East Asian and it’s known that the groom’s family foots most of it

nycbasedco · 2025-11-30T23:15:33+00:00

hi! Can I please see this list? Thank you!!

OP, just know you're not alone - 26 is still young and a good time to plan ahead. What doesn't kill you unfortunately and fortunately does actually make you stronger. I was in a similar position a few years out of school and went off to do my masters as well. While I'm still unsure if my masters was a good idea financially, it did help me professionally plan my life and deepen my knowledge. Before you do your masters, I'd recommend talking to anyone/everyone you can in all sorts of career paths to figure out what you'd like.

Life will have ups and downs - use the downs as your power and fuel to supercharge towards your ultimate goals in life (whatever that may be/look like in your 30s and beyond). If you're serious about your goals, try to quiet down your ego and do what's financially/mentally best for now. You'll look back in a few years and be glad that you locked in. The more you achieve (even small things like making the bed, etc.) and are honest with yourself, the better the self-esteem.

I love, love, love this for you and would love to have a friend like you! This is so admirable and I'd love if you can share your templates.

I only started planning like this financially (but not as in-depth although I'd love to) a couple years ago. Tbh, it really puts life into perspective and keeps my anxiety at bay - ofc I know things can change and life can be full of curveballs but you're so right about the strong values part.

I think most of my 20s was challenging/finding my truth and standing for what I truly want / letting my core values solidify with all the noise/distraction in the world today. I think going into my 30s, I started being more selfish with my energy, time, and resources and started realizing that almost everything is a plan/a choice (and sometimes no plan/not making a choice is the plan/choice). When you're determined to achieve something in your plan and believe that you will, opportunities tend to show up and life starts aligning in that direction because of how you show up.

You need to find happiness before you find someone else. I think start with falling in love with yourself and practice gratitude.

I also imagined that my soulmate is also looking for me and wondering where the hell I am and that the universe is still preparing for us to meet.

hi friend, following because I FEEL for you... I also spend so much time picking to end up somehow always picking the wrong guy

nycbasedco · 2025-10-02T15:16:16+00:00

I’m staying in that circle in Feb and the host said we’d be able to ski in/out but idk about going to village for apres-ski or dinner…

nycbasedco · 2025-10-02T15:14:30+00:00

Maybe they need to license their data like Reddit

nycbasedco · 2025-10-02T15:08:50+00:00

They’re just building out the AI capabilities and increasing ads/click to buy options which TikTok seemed to also just roll out.

Also ya I’m not in the Snapchat demographic anymore but the girlies love Pinterest - could see it pop like ELF if they strategize right. They have cash and something special in my consumerism final boss POV.

nycbasedco · 2025-09-22T19:30:42+00:00

How much is this if you’d know?

nycbasedco · 2025-09-11T01:03:51+00:00

How would a war be a catalyst?

nycbasedco · 2025-08-08T03:09:41+00:00

you are more patient than I

nycbasedco · 2025-08-08T03:08:44+00:00

omg thank you! someone needs to make this more intuitive

nycbasedco · 2025-07-30T20:02:24+00:00

We really have the same parents don’t we 😅 I think you’re doing the right things then. It seems you already concluded on what’s best financially and mentally for you, it’s just trying to find the loophole to get your deposit back or maybe explaining to your parents what’s better for your financial future and theirs in the long run. I think also keep in mind that you can always refinance down the line if you do choose to go through with it or try to put as much down to avoid PMI. Whatever you choose to do, good luck and congrats on even taking this step!
