SuperMeetup NYC

[polishmike]

umm we were also kicked out of that house party, because you told people who lived there that americans don't know anything about art (and i agreed)

and the guy who we picked up wasn't a drug dealer. he was a friend who just gave us drugs.

hahaha, yeah. Ok, I may have rearranged events a bit to favour my point of view. To be fair I think they were closing up soon, no? Otherwise fuck 'em hipsters and their hipster art.

[broneck]

fuuma, you in NYC as we speak?

[polishmike]

nah you're the only canadian this time around

[Fuuma]

No, not around this time. Not feeling too outgoing and nothing to do there. I guess I'll miss a few good parties. The only shows I might have gone to would have been Geller, Ohne Titel and Rad Hourani. + I'm working on some fashion shit right now (well I'm procrastinating on the net but I should be).

[Astérix]

Polishmike's apt=polishmike's new frathouse. It comes with passed out drug dealer sleeping on the rug.

man when i was there all i got to do was play street fighter

[mrjuby]

any good

-west indian (that make jerk and fried chicken)

-japanese (that make okonomiyaki)

-korean (that make fried chicken)

restaurants in the city?

really interested in west indian more than the other two.

[evisu 2000]

boston jerk in bk

[readytoignite]

what kind of korean fried chicken - whole bird or wings? do you want a proper sit down restaurant or fast food style take out

[bluespring]

BonChon is pretty good if you like sweet sauce fried chicken. I have yet to try Baden Baden, which is not sauce.

[readytoignite]

the bonchon on 5th is good but has kind of a nightclub atmosphere.

the bon bon on chambers has a really depressing fast food vibe although apparently bonchon took it over so who knows now.

the kfc at momofuku noodle is really good but annoying to arrange since you need a group to commit in advance... though since you asked in a meetup thread you now have to take us all out

[polishmike]

momofuku chicken is worth it. if anyone wants do to it i'm up for it. i can also arrange it without lengthy reservation. we would need 4 people.

[dino might]

^sign me up

[mrjuby]

homi's boycotting momofuku because its azn food made by white people. but i'm down for drinking, holla at homi.

[mrjuby]

i'm down for momofuku tonight or tomorrow. pm me your number polishmike.

i'd have to go with a couple people if i want to go to brooklyn for west indian food. thanks anyway mass.

thanks readytoignite and bluespring.

i'm in.... let's try to avoid the weekend if possible, place is a zoo and they try to rush you out.

I thought it was made by a korean? If he means made in a literal sense pretty sure 98% of food in ny is made by south americans.

[readytoignite]

chang is a korean-american... however to conceive of momofuku as "asian food" is kind of missing the point

[polishmike]

most of the guys/girl that cook at the noodle bar are white. it's not really that hard since they have only few dishes. i go there all the time, it's my favorite restaurant now. of course living two blocks away helps a little.

[american_hearts]

well, white people and bananas. but that's how I like my asian food these days anyway, unless it's being served to me out of a combination jewelry/DVD shop.

and peter serpico, who holds it down hard at ko.

[polishmike]

just had ramen and pork buns at momofuku with robideaux. hangover almost gone.

speaking of ko, it's not that hard to get a reservation anymore. if you try exactly at 10am you should be able to get a spot.

how do you like Minca? I used to live in the EV(190 east 7th street) and Minca is my go-to ramen place when I come up. The dude that owns it was like a former Japanese rocker dude who had a religious awakening and now just makes authentic ramen or something.

You guys should also try sakagura in midtown if you like good Japanese food and haven't been. It's in the basement of some Japanese corporate building. Going there feels very bladerunner.

[polishmike]

I think Minca is the best ramen in nyc. Owner is very cool, I spoke to him few times. Momofuku ramen is not even close to Minca but sometimes I have to have some pork buns.

[readytoignite]

momofuku ramen is more of a meat dish served in a broth with ramen but it's still decent... btw the shiitake buns are really underrated there.

i went to ko once about a year back, they still seemed limited by their constraints.

that's fair enough. My boy Tomokazu owns the salon right around the corner on 4th between A and B called Ampersand. Apparently he and the owner are really good friends, so we always go there for ramen after I get my haircut.

I can't deny the pork buns though.

This girl used to work at Momofuku named Sarah who also waitressed at Bua on st. marks. We hung out a few times, and I asked her what she was doing being a waitress. Her answer was "I am taking a year off from Columbia Med School before I work at a hospital in Tel Aviv".

Next level waitress, man.

[riotmute]

Anyone wanna get drunk tonight?

[eggshell]
