YO NYC: ASIA SPECIAL Part 1

8 Nov

It’s a little late but I’ve been busy with school and what not, but this past summer I spent about a month in a half in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. It was wicked hot, and I had loads of fun. Aside from the usual touristy attractions, I was more excited to eat my way through the places I visited than actually care about whatever else the country had to offer. Food to me is the best part of other cultures. First I was in Hong Kong for a little less than a week, and to say the least that place has the swampiest and mucky weather ever during certain parts of the summer. But I still love it. Let’s just start with the most traditional Hong Kong food, the typical HK style cafés with the ABCD meals on a tiny breakfast menu.

Seat Savers

8 Nov

Have you ever avoided a subway seat because of the filth on it? Well this person took the idea and made this an item called “seat savers”. Basically he took a messy situation you typically see on the street, like spilled coffee, spilled ice cream, exploded ketchup packet and froze it with some plastic material. Pretty cool idea, I bought a few of them, going to try and see how it works on the LIRR.

Gaby’s Pizza.

1 Jul

204-23 hillside ave
queens village, ny 11423
(between 204th & 205th streets)
gabyspizza.com

One of the best pizza you will ever eat in your life. The Sicilian slice is deLICious. The line can be long at times, but you never have to wait for too long. Relatively cheap. The slices are always hot and fresh. It’s pretty well-known — they have pictures of various actors/musicians coming here, throwing up their gang signs. One of the pictures I can remember is Ja Rule being there. Small and cozy. Trust me, you’ll be back for more after one slice.

Finding Parking in Chinatown NYC

12 Jan

Parking in Chinatown can be a bit tricky; especially during the weekends when everyone is out and about. I prefer mass transit, for those who would rather drive, below are some helpful tips. Some of you may not be aware of the rules of parking in the neighborhood. Just because a meter space exists, that does not mean a vehicle can be parked legally. Please check the parking signs at all times. “When in doubt of the space, do not park in the space.”

There are loads of barber shops along the old Doyer Street. One of the cheapest place to get a haircut in Chinatown is here at, New Hong Kongg Barber Shop (~~extra g for gangsta).~~ Seriously this place is dirt cheap, regular hair cut goes for $6 add $2 more bucks for a wash with it. Drop a buck or two for tips and you’re set. No appointments needed, get in and out in about 20 minutes.
