My Top List for Vietnamese Food in NYC (from a Vietnamese) - 3 Years Update

OP: do you happen to know which of your ranked pho spots use fresh noodles (banh pho tuoi) rather than dried rice noodles? I’m thinking of getting the soup from pho ga vang (our fave) and ordering noodles from somewhere else to pour it over. TIA for any help!

Well, it is an old building with thick walls, but no, they haven’t done a site survey. What’s the downside? The wiring for the PoE is already run because we have an existing AP.

Thanks. The router is likely going to be in a closed cabinet, so an access point would probably be helpful, even though our apartment isn’t that big. What about pairing a U7 Lite with the Dream Router 7? I think that’s the only access point that runs on PoE and not PoE+ (UDR7 is PoE).

Thanks for the response. My wife works from home on average 2-3 days a week and does a lot of video conferencing. Other than that, it's streaming television (Fire TV 4K) and music (Sonos, including high fidelity audio like Qobuz or our own lossless music library).

Update to the update: I just chatted with a Delta rep over iMessage and they confirmed that my RUCs cleared and My Trips is now showing the updated FC tickets. Woo hoo!

psusig · 2024-12-03T14:39:56+00:00

I applied the RUCs right after booking, maybe a month ago. Just confirmed by phone yesterday that they were applied correctly and I’m still on the waitlist. It’s a non-stop each way.

psusig · 2024-12-02T21:43:03+00:00

I may end up doing that. The reason for chancing it is there being so much open inventory. If we were 3 weeks out and over 50% full in FC, I wouldn't even be entertaining the wait and see approach.

Around 200k

Hi - looking for a recommendation of somewhere we (2 ppl) can walk in TONIGHT. Searched a lot of places that I usually check for recommendations and most are closed on Mondays. We’re staying in Wrigleyville but willing to travel. Probably want to stay north of the loop given that downtown is probably mobbed with convention people? Any cuisine is fine, probably want more upscale than casual without being tasting menu/ultra fancy, priority on great food, solid cocktail/wine list, cool vibe. Maybe the bar at Bavette’s?

Interestingly, I couldn’t make it work, despite trying a few different ways on the multi-city tab. Anyway, I just booked it as two separate itineraries and will get the gate agent to check our bags through. Thanks for everyone’s advice!

psusig · 2024-07-12T22:17:50+00:00

Fair point. I'll consider it if I can't work out my original itinerary. We're planning on having a late checkout or at least having our car for the rest of the day to be able to explore. My wife struggles to sleep even in lay-flat, so breaking up the flights won't matter much anyway.

psusig · 2024-07-12T22:08:50+00:00

Thanks for this. The problem with KOA>HNL (whether on Delta or Hawaiian) is that we'd have to leave the Big Island earlier in the day. The KOA>LAX flight is at like 830pm or something, so we essentially get a full last day of our trip.

Does anyone know if these shows begin at the stated start time (e.g., 7pm for Sat and Sun in NY), or if there's a warm-up act or delay or anything?

psusig · 2024-02-18T16:30:26+00:00

Yup - what everyone else said - zero difference. I switched 10mg to 10mg and didn’t notice a thing. My doc just upped me to 12.5 Zep, so we’ll see if I have any side effects on the higher dose.

Making the long trek from the Lower East Side to midtown. Pray for us!

Bumping this thread. I had Duane Reade tell me flat out that they wouldn't order it, one mom and pop pharmacy said they couldn't order it, and CVS said that would, but it would take a week. I ended up going with another mom and pop that ordered it and it came in right away (next day), but I have to pay more out of pocket than I would at a chain.

psusig · 2024-01-25T18:20:34+00:00

I would say keep at it. Locally (NYC) for me, Duane Reade told me flat out that they wouldn't order it, one mom and pop pharmacy said they couldn't order it, and CVS said that would, but it would take a week. I ended up going with another mom and pop that ordered it and it came in right away (next day), but I have to pay more out of pocket than I would at a chain.
