in:Being a part of this sub since it’s inception makes me laugh how literally every food report has the exact same spots on them. Hope it becomes more common to venture off the beaten path and find the spots that aren’t on TikTok and eater mag. What’s a non hyped spot you tried lately that you enjoyed?2 pts
“Some of the food is pretty authentic and some is more fanciful, but what we had was delicious. Great, inventive cocktail menu too.”

replying to u/Glower_power: Take the crosstown bus to the UWS and go to Han Dynasty on w85th! Or Saravana Bhavan on w80th--south Indian food, easily dairy free. The answer is definitely to take the crosstown bus, though, and go to the UWS
“there are several restaurants that fit the bill bracketed between them on the west side: Han Dynasty, Flor de Mayo, Jin Ramen, Land and Senn Thai, Wau, Joe Steam Rice Roll, Jing Fong, Saravana Bhavan, etc.”
