Reply to comment by Sunfish-Studio in This is like the fourth time this has happened when I inquire about a rental and its a bit exhausting. I'm not moving into a 500 Sq ft apartment on a snap decision just because that's the only way a landlord will honor the prices they're advertising by Sunfish-Studio
Right, I'd send one complaint for each.

Gaucho? Though I've heard it's gone downhill since it moved.

One thing which I have not seen mentioned yet: If the 49ers win, they tie us for the number of rings. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

What made you spring for black duct tape over the traditional grey?

Exactly this! At the Penguins' outdoor game in Philly, Pens were winning, and dudes were yelling the "Fly Eagles Fly!" at me! I was like "dude, we're not rivals in football! I cheered for you in the Super Bowl!"

Also Beef Ho Fun from Chengdu Gourmet. I believe it is the same dish, but someone please correct me if I am wrong

$55 as a base fee for this garbage? I'll pair you a few chocolate bars and a bottle of wine for free!
Anyone know about the demonstration at City Hall? "This rats not for you" is on the inflatable rat's shirt. I can't read the flags.CasualFriday11 t1_j66mnk2 wrote

I'm at EYV and just add it to the list. Broccoli Chicharrones, and the Meat in Potatoes are dishes I've never seen before. The mushroom barley risotto is the most well executed barley risotto I've ever had. Dessert is still coming. BYOB right now as they sort out their liquor license

The Forge for drinks beforehand. If you want an app, the Old World Falafel is life changing. (I didn't know falafel could taste that good)
Dinner afterwards, in that area:
-Morcilla: Spanish tapas. A little pricy but incredibly unique for the city and also unique as far as Spanish tapas places go.
-The Parlor Dim Sum: Get a bunch of dumplings in all shapes and sizes. Great for sharing, and an excellent cocktail list.
-The Vandal: contemporary American food. I haven't been since they remodeled, but prior to, it was a cut above in this highly represented genre in the city.
-Bar Botanico: after dinner drinks spot if you stay in the area. They're GREAT!
Others less close by:
-Apteka: vegan Polish food. They have a pop-up right now, so it may be impossible to get in until after next week. They're THE MOST unique restaurant in the city, simply because I don't think there's another restaurant in America making food like they are (it's why they made the NYT top 50 list)
-Gi-Jin: Raw fish bar. They're doing unique things with raw fish and rolls which I haven't seen outside of PGH, let alone in the city.
-40 North at Alphabet City: Upscale Asian inspired cuisine. The setting in a bookstore is unique on its own. Don't let that deceive you, the quality is on another level here.
-Spork: also upscale/commentary American. Great service, fun dishes. Expensive, but at my last visit I was given two or three amuse-bouche which I did not select. Worth it, to me. Try the crispy octopus!
Let me know if you have any questions!

The people at Chantal's are very friendly. If you visit there and ask, I'm sure they could recommend a few other places to look, too!
