So I work in Williamsburg and as of lately I have been obsessed with this place called ramen adante. I used be a big pho person, still love pho but it’s hard to find good Vietnamese in New York. Anyways I have been ordering this dish called yaki ramen, it’s a broth less ramen with chicken meat and chicken broth, hands down amazing.

Yamo is one of my most sacred gems of the mission district. Cash-Only, hole in the wall, fast paced service for the best, cheap, burmese noodles in the city. What makes it good is the heart and integrity the wonderful front woman Michelle puts into the place. She remembers her regulars, and is about her business. Running a tight ship with Mama, Michelle carries the restaurant with heart and pride. Recently the famous house noodle went from $8 to $9, but that’s just a sign of the times. My go-to is the $5 potstickers, I can’t find any other place that makes them as yummy as these wonderful ladies.
I found this place as it’s pretty integrated into the local skate culture, which The Chronical details in an awesome piece which you can read here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/yamo-noodles-burmese-menu-18168451.php
In all honesty, the popularity and tight-knit nature of the place does come with a mild wait most times, but it is so worth it after a long day at Dolo / paroozing Valencia.
Pro Tip: When arriving to the door, just ask the nearest person if they are waiting to dine in, or getting take-out; then act accordingly. There’s only about 8 seats inside so takeout is usually my go to✨

I live in bedstuy and when the weather is right on a Sunday you should swing down to Herbert von king park to see some amazing dance moves and witness some good old house music. This happens every Sunday and it’s a magical experience.

If you’re ever in a spike lee mood watch clockers it’s a good Brooklyn based film inspired off of the novel. Probably one of my favorite flicks to watch especially on a rainy day.

I feel like when you’re living here you never do the cliche touristy stuff. A friend of mine got tickets to ride the double decker bus around the city and brought a flask, I feel like it’s a fun thing to do once in a while, especially your own wine tasting with friends. The bus lets you off in midtown, I wish Jimmy’s corner was still open because that was my all time favorite bar. RIP jimmy.
