most underrated part of NYC no contest. Thereās a truck on the corner of 69th and Roosevelt that does a torta so good I ate it maybe 75 days in a row. I think Scorpion Bar is still around about a block east. If you play pool BQE Billiards does $6/hr for two people and has the levelest tables on Long Island. Also this is Greenpoint so ~40 min walk but Film Noir Cinema has screened around 80% of the best movies Iāve ever seen for last I checked $10 a ticket. Sometimes the owner (Mr. Malitek) doesnāt tell you what heās screening but Iāve only ever been disappointed once (1974 optometrist thriller called Ghost Eyes). Thereās also a place near there called Hana Makgeolli that brews some pretty knockout korean rice wine if thatās your thing.

It depends on who the guest is/where theyāre from. If theyāre from California theyāre gonna laugh in my face when I take them to get āreally good tacos, I swear!ā I find though that going to a NYC Chinatown (particularly sunset park or flushing) or going to the queens night market when itās in season is always a hit. Flushing is such a unique place that it truly feels like youāve landed in an Asian city rather than a New York neighborhood. I love the night market because you can sample so many different cuisines for cheap, which I feel like really showcases the beauty of New York food. Itās not gonna be the most mind blowing meal, but the diversity is usually what impresses people (and still impresses me)

is from a truck/trailer parked on the southeast sidewalk of dyckman and broadway (way uptown, up to you if itās worth it). the guy who runs it is there pretty much every night, cash only. youāll know it by the slightly lascivious spray painted images on the sides. was tempted to gatekeep this but really need him to stay in business.

About 20 years ago the guy from Mount Eerie and the Microphones used to make these weird little comics and Iāve never forgotten them. The Dog Trouble one has always been my favorite but every McDonalds run Iāve ever made triggers the medium pepsi neuron.
