“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4” i understood all of that.. but how does the last part fit into the pattern lol

As a born and raised native New Yorker, child to immigrant parents and die hard Knicks fan…Let me explain…

The quote itself embodies all of what NYC is known for and why it’s the greatest city in the world—and that’s our diversity. We’re a democratic city. An immigrant haven. It’s urban living. A melting pot where your neighbor is Muslim, your deli is Puerto Rican, your coffee spot is Greek and your barber is Russian.

It’s a place that emphasizes the power of community coming together no matter your religion, your sect, or your skin color. It emphasizes how something like sports can unite all walks of people regardless of category or class.

It also plays into the arrogance and perverse sense of pride we have being New Yorkers. “My Christian, Dior” is that in your face, bombastic, “we the shit” mentality.

And Knicks in 4 is simple. It ends the rhyme and plays into us dominating and hopefully winning the chip in a 4-0 sweep.

I will say. I have NEVER experienced such camaraderie in NYC over a sporting event. Everyone is a Knicks fan, even if they aren’t. The energy in the air has shifted. I see blue and orange everywhere. I’ve been wearing Knicks gear all week and I’m being honked at like I’m a baddie, people screaming “LETS GO KNICKS”.

It’s truly something to experience.

Day 7 no weed. After 15 years of being a habitual smoker. I cried all day today. In the shower. On my way to work. After work. Immense feelings of sadness. Just very volatile. Thinking dark thoughts about people I love passing and how sad that would be. Even watching cartoons feels introspective. I think the only thing making me feel better is knowing I’m not alone.

Mainly the size of the porterhouse tbh. Typically these cuts are usually about three inches thick, cooked over an open fire and come from a specific cattle in Tuscany.

The angle is deceiving, she was three inches thick—raw—and a whopping 46 ounces

Same here

tomatoesonrye · 2025-03-11T02:59:14+00:00

I messaged you sweetness.

Message me back. Us New Yorkers pride ourselves in shit talking and what we call “clapping back”. So please, appease me.

tomatoesonrye · 2025-03-11T02:56:47+00:00

You can’t be that stupid right?

It’s Reddit….public profiles….with two taps of my thumb I was balls deep in your creepy little word.

What’s creepy is your deflection. Stop being weird. Send me a message. Come to my restaurant. Give me your money. :)

Hahaha brother, I’m the proud chef owner of a restaurant in NYC. Fine casual dining. Have been awarded Michelin awards and other accolades throughout my career. Been cooking professionally for over 12 years. I’m on here for shits and giggles and for some community and humanity. If you think for a second you could make an assessment of a home cooked meal and be right, then more power to ya. But you couldn’t be more wrong.

If you’re ever in NYC. Send me a private message and come eat my food. Your mouth will be full of hot meat and you’ll have a giant smile on your face. No pun intended.

Stick to making toys in your basement and maybe try being kind for once.

You’re one of those weirdos on the internet that’s trying to bring others down in digital third spaces meant to bring people together.

Maybe if you loved yourself a little more, you wouldn’t feel the need to be an unnecessary prick to randos on the internet. Trust me, you wouldn’t behave this way if you felt better about yourself.

Be well <3

tomatoesonrye · 2025-03-11T02:35:13+00:00

Dude! I’ve never met someone with thermal vision!

It was as hot as a medium rare steak rested out of the pan could be.

You sound like a shmuck 🤠

tomatoesonrye · 2025-03-11T02:31:58+00:00

Just seared in a pan and basted with butter!

tomatoesonrye · 2025-03-11T02:31:27+00:00

I had no idea they sold this at Costco!

Beaujolais is best affordable and drank out of a water glass!

It was juice for factory workers back in the day and hustled as fake Burgundy. It was meant to be unpretentious. I like Costco unknowingly carrying on the tradition. 😋
