  • replying to u/crazeman: [Mike's Donut](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kbvMhUYUgDvbHLsK6) - A old school OG cheap donut shop that's been around since the 70s. It's nothing SPECIAL but NYC has been overridden by dunkin' donuts, there's only one or two old school donut shops left in NYC and Mike's is one of them. Bay Ridge also have a big Middle Eastern/Arabic community so they have a shit ton of low key good restaurants from that region. The most popular spots is probably Tanoreen and Ayat. The last time I was there, I saw a lot of small old restaurants lining down 3rd ave/5th ave, I feel like there's a lot of potential local "hidden gems" there (I'm not from Bay Ridge), maybe just walk down the Aves and try whichever shop that catches your eye? [Brooklyn Baklava](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GxCWxpvWm22sC2NHA) / [Antepli Baklava](https://maps.app.goo.gl/F5TBVobYzon1zqLS9) - Brooklyn Baklava is Lebanese has some good Baklava/Kanfeh/Za'atar Pie and other pastries. Antepli Baklava is from Turkey and is right next door and is also pretty good. I think [Kimchi Kooks Kate's Kitchen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gmktjci7Fyi3HcPw7) is one of my favorite shop that I found from this subreddit. They specialize in homemade kimchi and also have a wide variety of other homemade ban chan dishes for sale too. I'm not Korean but I think they have one of the best kimchi in the city. The last time I was there, there was a few Asians buying like buckets of kimchi at a time lol. They usually have prepared food for their weekend sp…

    Their wonton noodle soup and congee with youtiao are especially good. One of my favorites even if I were to take into account the options in Manhattan.

  • replying to u/DanielMekelburg: i like yinji too. i often will get their fish congee, which is very good. the frog congee i had at congee village was on that level. and the crab dish was better than expected. and the snails were just about perfect. for what we ordered, it was unimprovable. there are a lot of cantonese spots in new york city. i chose this one on that particular evening. it was friday night, i was just rejected from about 5 hip spots and i was excited to be here after my dining partner relented and let us eat chinese.

    For more casual chinese style food in NY, I usually go to noodle village, E-noodle, or Lady Chow.
