Not just 'the best', but iconic of and unique to NY. It's a tough difference to see from the inside. Chinese food. Yes, NY has some truly excellent Chinese food. Better than most I've found elsewhere. But it's the duck sauce and mustard that really set it apart. You just don't see it anywhere...

Let's not let this one fly by. Metro NYers know exactly what they have in bagels and pizza, but most have no idea how special a delicacy they have in the humble hard roll. Oh, what I'd give for a bacon, egg, and cheese, over medium, butter, pepper, no salt. Coffee, regular.

I'm a born & raised NYer living in the diaspora for the last 20something years. My boss goes to NY twice a year and every time brings me a dozen. Purchased on her way to the airport, in my hands the next morning. A spritz and a toast is exactly how revive them.

FWIW, a batch with Saaz is proving to be perfectly enjoyable.

I understand sweet cherries turn into cough syrup, tart cherries make good mead. I've had excellent and very easy results using tart cherry juice in lieu of fresh fruit. A quart bottle of juice replaces the same volume of water per gallon in primary. Supposedly equivalent to ~3lbs of fruit per...

All y'all talking room temp?
