why is Mexican food so terrible in NY then?
Mexican food ain't good like that, overrated by cacs. The best Latin food is DR/PR anyway and that shyt is good and in abundance in NYC.
Westchester county?
I'd dead ass move to New Rochelle when it's time to start a family.
I think that you mean that you get a watered down version of every culture in NYC. Anybody that traveled, knows that food from its native country > food in NYC. For example, going to Montego Bay, Jamaica is much better than Jamaican food on 241st in the Bronx.
NYC is perfect for those who can't afford to travel overseas, and the broke man's way of justifying, or making excuses, not to travel God's green earth. And this is coming from someone that been on 4 continents.
Traveling abroad to see culture at its origin is much better than seeing a watered Down version of them in NYC.
Nope. You have to find the right spots you can get great authentic food that ain't watered down...
Golden Krust spots ain't gonna compare to an actual good Carribean cuisine restaurant...
Pizza from Kennedy's in the Bronx don't compare to a good slice from a good spot like Full Moon by Fordham University...
That Chinese food by the corner store ain't authentic compared to what you may get at a real Chinese spot in Flushing or Chinatown...
The mom and pop spanish spot don't got nothing on a restaurant like the Malecon or Casa de Mofongo in Wash Heights.
You could get a Pastrami sandwich from the corner store or go to an actual renowned Jewish deli spot like Katz. You could get soul food $5 a plate at the community center or go to Sylvia's or Manna's in Harlem.
