Hehe. I'd love to try it. Then again my cousins just moved out of NYC and my one friend there just got married. I give major props for someone who moves somewhere without knowing anyone at their new location. That must be tough.

!Xoible · 08-29-2007, 11:28 AM

yah it's tough. it's a good experience. i have a very close friend who decided to pick up and go to NYC.
I go visit him from time to time

b/c the girl:guy ratio is so good? I hear most of the Chinese food there isn't good, which is surprising.

china town has a few really really good places. the wait can be 3+ hours unless you go at like 3 pm. once you're done with food they come and ask you to leave. There's a few good ones, but the majority arent as 1/2 as good as socal or norcal chinese

thai food is the awesomest bro. it's so delicious that i cant eat thai food in socal anymore. same with pizza.
there's a sushi or japanese noodle place every 3 feet (pretty much japanese place, starbucks, footlocker, then japanese place...etc.) haha

there's Nobu around the corner and Nobu there. im sure you'll love it. it much better than the nobu in vegas, which you might wanna try when you go to vegas

italian is

Yeah, that's what my Chinese friend who has lived all his life in NYC has said.

Yeah lots of Sushi there. I haven't heard about the Thai food there. Have you tried Thaina Korn? Royal Thai? If you are ever in Vegas, look of Lotus of the Siam, from what I've read it's the best in the U.S.. When I had it, I thought it was the best Thai food I have ever had. I heard the owners opened up Renu Nakorn in Norwalk but I don't go all the way out to Norwalk too often.

I'm sure about the Italian. We have quite good Italian here and on the West Coast though. It's comparable from what I hear. Not our Pizza though.

!Xoible · 08-29-2007, 12:41 PM

she'll be fine. dont worry. You will get used to visiting doctors during pregnancy and first few years of the kids life. it's normal, no worries.

I know man...
so far she hasn't shown anything abnormal, so hopefully it's just a formality today

more doc visits mean less time here at work

I trust you. I will give it a shot.
The problem is I like sea food at asian places especially thai and viet places. I managed to go to all places with fishy-smelling seafood. i just got lucky i guess haha
