NYC: the city that only sleeps at 730 am on Saturday.
Donburiya on Lexington and 47th. Squid yakisoba and okanomiyaki with rich flavors. It actually reminds me of the food I ate in Japan!
Flowers at FIT campus. You mean NYC has spring?!
Nova salmon and cream cheese from the deli on 29th and 6th. Delicious! But the fishy salmon smell is a little overwhelming.
Awesome Thai food on 25th and 8th. This is duck and bamboo. Rich and flavorful.
On broadway, even the police are FABULOUS.
Plz to be including a shout out to the duck dumplings with hoisin sauce, they were even better than i remembered XD. Also, if you are feeling so inclined, you can warn people that the chilli-soy soup is basically hot sauce in an oily broth with like four bits of tofu on top (the noddles were good tho).

Peking Duck dumplings! They are awesome. The soup not so much. A little on the expensive side to me for the amount of food, but absolutely delicious.
~singing~It’s a beautiful … rainy day …!~ That’s right! If there was no rain, we wouldn’t appreciate the sun! So go out and have a beautiful day!
- Guy on 31st and 7th
Arepas! Despite how terrifying the picture looks: awesome.
Braised, spicy pork, sharp cheese, black beans, and plantains all wrapped in a light, crusty tortilla. Every bite was spicy and sweet with a mellow flavor from the cheese for a perfect finish.
Eaten on 39th Ave in Astoria, off the N line.
price range: 5-15 dollars
made me seriously: crave more! This thing was huge and didn’t fill me up, what
Train Station FAQ
I’m on a platform and the trains are approaching from the same direction on both sides. Does it matter which train I get on?
Yes. Yes it does.
How do I know if I’m going uptown or downtown?
If the street numbers are going up, you’re going uptown. If they’re going down, you’re going downtown. Unless you’re in Astoria, where if the numbers are going down you’re going uptown and if they’re going up you’re going downtown. Or maybe they’re just saying street names instead of numbers, in which case you’re probably really far south in Manhattan. Or you might be in another borough.
How do I know whether I need to travel uptown or downtown?
What street are you on now? What street do you need to get to? If you’re on a higher-numbered street than your destination, you need to go downtown, and visa versa. Unless you’re in Astoria. If the street name of your destination isn’t a number, your handy-dandy easy-to-read map is your friend!
I’m standing on a platform and and the trains are approaching from opposite directions on either side. Help! How do I know which train I want to get on?
There’s signs posted above each track that should say their final stop. What, you don’t know the name of the final stop in the direction you want to travel? You fool!
What’s ‘late night’ mean?
If a train goes by that’s yellow, screeching loudly, and full of construction workers, it’s ‘late night’. It also means your regular train service has been interrupted and is now supposedly following the signs above each track, supplemented by the easy-to-understand ‘service changes’ posted by the MTA daily on their website and in every train station. Mostly it means that you’re never getting home.
There’s been a service change on the subway line I’m supposed to be taking. How do I know if my stop is effected?
Good question. Sadly, the answer is elusive and can only be found by deep meditation. It might take years.
I want to get from Brooklyn to Queens. Can I do that without going on some kind of roundabout route through Manhattan?
AAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Express? Local? Which one do I get on?
If your stop is indicated by a white dot on your handy-dandy easy-to-read map, that means it’s serviced by express trains. If it’s a black dot, you need to get on a local train. Local trains stop at every stop, except when they don’t, because today the conductor hates you.
They just skipped my stop! What do I do!?
Wait until the train stops and get on another train going in the opposite direction. Or walk an extra 18 blocks. Didn’t I warn you that the conductor hates you?
I’m about to leave a station and I see signs that say ‘EXIT NW CORNER’ and ‘EXIT SW CORNER’. Which one do I pick?
Well, doofus, you should have looked at a map and figured out whether your destination was north, south, east, or west of your subway station! Duh.
I’ve walked out of a subway station and I’m completely disoriented! How do I figure out which way is (x) street?
New Yorkers have an innate, built-in sense of direction, and when they step out of a train station they know instantly where they are, what direction they’re facing, and how to get where they’re going. For the rest of us, the only way to re-orient ourselves is to walk until we see street signs that tell us we’ve gone the wrong way. Again.
