New York Canes

I can see what they saying as I always wish I had some wok-fried cat chow-mein from an urban "Chinese" take-out place or some deli bacon and eggs served to me by a hepatitis-ravaged Dominican when I sit down to feast on my fresh caught stone crab with garlic butter, grilled keys lobster, fried grouper, steamed Gulf Pink Shrimp, lemon-garlic beach caught pompano from Hollywood, baked dolphin, or slow roasted feral hog from WPB with mojo.

where? I'll send the info along to my son. He claims that it's not "real chinese" like at home. It's different.

Ok.

There’s a Chinese place near my hood (Kendall) ran by NYC transplants. It’s called Silver Palace and it’s been there for over 30 years. I went on a Sunday to get some takeout and the place was FILLED with Chinos speaking Chinese. IDK about you but when you see people from the same ethnicity the cuisine is from, coming to get their grub on, that’s when you know shít’s legit af.
 
Lived on Long Island for 26 years. Since then have lived in Florida Alabama and Georgia. Never found anything that compares to the food in NY. Whether it be pizza...Chinese takeout...dirty water dogs...pretzels...bagels...roasted nuts...

Can't even find a **** deli to get a decent egg sandwich in the morning.

Haven't seen a real diner since leaving...where is my complimentary bread and breadstick basket?

Great now I'm hungry.

But the real question is ..... will you take the bread and butter with you in a to-go box after you’re done eating?
 
Used to love stopping in to see my favorite aunt in Queens when I was running yachts and heading for the Great Lakes. There was a Deli on Beach 116th, had Arab guys behind the counter, ******, Italians, Russian, all sorts of customers, everybody talking to each other getting coffee and papers, and the bagles and egg sandwiches were flying. Just can't find bagels like that away from that water they make them with.

Beach 116th —- the ole Rockaway Playland !!

So Chinese people cooking Chinese food ain't "real Chinese"?...who knew.
Back in 1995 I went with a student group to China for 3 weeks. The biggest shock was the food. NOTHING at all like the take out I grew up on in NY.

The last dinner we were served was tofu cubes suspended in a cows blood gelatin. Needless to say no one ate it. Imagine serving that to a bunch of 12 to 15 year old American kids these days.
 
And obscenely high prices which is why I mentioned NY Pizza Suprema near MSG. A slice is less than $4 - laughably cheap for one of the best slices in the city.


Uh almost 90% of slices are less than $4

Joe's is also good

The problem with some of the places in brooklyn is they only serve whole pies
