They went down Avenue J without finding a single kosher place (e.g. Jewish bakeries).

People coming to NY and trying food is a good thing for local businesses despite the hater narrative you’re brainwashed to think is normal to repeat like a parrot. If this article helps a small businesses attract new customers, good on roz and Emily.

I lived off the fucking J train for a while when the new cars with automated announcements came about. That's the only reason I know how to pronounce it. On the old cars where a person made announcements it was always Kahz-e-os-ko

I've never understood the appeal of Roz Chast.

Chast says she was raised in Brooklyn.

Roz Chast was born and raised in Brooklyn, is a famous cartoonist, and a nice lady.

Pushing folks to DiFara is like advertising Disney World on a blog.

You’re probably not very neurotic; that’s her shtick.

I can be. I find her anxieties too mild and too unengaging.

Business Machines isn't there anymore, how long ago did they do this little tour?

This comic was so devoid of any meaning. Or anything for that matter. Literally negative redeeming value.

I know right. Very odd… they managed to make everyone look hideous in their drawings (was that the goal?) and it seemed like they were going for jokes, but nothing the characters said was remotely funny or could be considered a joke.
If anything it’s just a “slice of life” style comic / art thing, but a boring slice of life

I think he’s actually validating it in a way, because you see a lot of transplants over compensate by trying to correct pronunciations and going OD on ny stereotypes like bodegas, timbs, etc

As a native of the area they visited, I thought it was charming. Sorry you didn’t like it.

I've lived here for over 20 years. This literally feels like a verbal diarrhea (hey, I spelled "diarrhea" right on the first try!).

It’s okay to feel how you feel.

If you don’t fit the stereotype, you’re often branded a transplant. I’ve had a number of people guess I’m from Westchester or Ohio or some shit just because I’m a white dude that doesn’t walk around with a fitted and timbs despite being born here.
Annoying but most people are superficial like that or just too lazy to get to know someone.

Roz and Emily sound like two transplants trying to convince lifelong NYers that they’re legit because they know how to pronounce and spell “Kosciusko” correctly.
