Improving New York

A list of what I think would improve the city:

• more pedestrian streets like in Europe (this one is urgent)
• more small parks across the city (SF has many small parks across the city)
• less scaffoldings (OMG these scaffoldings are everywhere and they stay there for months/years!)
• less rats (this is crazy)
• less trash (in nordic countries they have trash underground)
• more electrical cars (reduces noise pollution)

Humor

• all the Bo Burnham standups + inside, some of it is genius and it's hard to categorize it as humor. Inside is a masterpiece that has nothing to do with his other stand ups.

Gaming

• The Last of Us: Part 1
• Hunt Showdown

Which was removed from everywhere by the author (even the wayback machine!).

IMO it's too good to be removed from the Internet, so here it is. I got so hyped reading that blogpost that it inspired me to write my own similar blogpost here.

Haven't been in a very long time, so I wouldn't be able to recommend specific places, but I can recommend specific dish.

Turmeric fish (Chả Cá Lã Vọng). This is a specialty and you can find places that only do that. There's a pan in front of you with some oil, and you put fish and dill and tumeric and cook it yourself.

DIY Fruit smoothies (Hoa Qua Dam). You can find that in the streets. They give you these cups with fruits and ice and condensed milk and you're supposed to blend everything yourself by hammering the content with your spoon. So good!

Places to stay at

• Roma Norte
• Condesa

Restaurants

• taqueria gabriel (omg, everything is good there, get the "jugo de carne" as well!)
• "paramo" and "el parnita", one is upstairs and has amazing food and cocktails and atmosphere, the other one is downstairs and has great food.
• taqueria orinoco (omg, same, it's more like a fast food chain but it's like THE chain of tacos)

Lyon's restaurant and things to do

Restaurants

Note:

• For a number of restaurants here you might have to book a long time in advance. You've been warned.
• Many restaurants in France offer a different menu for lunch and dinner. Also, the "daily suggestions" can be pretty fresh!
• We don't eat in restaurants every day in France, so restaurants here are not necessarily very healthy :D (be ready for entree-plat-dessert formulas (starter/main/dessert) with cheese between the main and dessert)

Every wednesday afternoon (4pm-7pm) and every saturday morning (9am-11am) there are two uber cool markets that serve lots of food! During our time in Waikiki we went there almost every single time. Here's what you HAVE to try:

Here's a list of my favorite stuff to eat, see, do in SF!

Eat

• The Progress. Sister restaurant of the famous state bird provision, but much better IMO. It's my favorite restaurant in SF.
• Mr Tipples. A jazz bar that has amazing cocktails and a great dimsum menu. This place shouldn't exist and it is what makes SF special IMO. You can't go to SF without coming here.
• Bread and belly. Best bakery/cafe in SF IMO.
• Daeho. Holy shit I didn't know korean food could be so good, get the kalbijim with ox tail & cheese on top! (what everyone gets there basically)

London is freaking amazing. There are things to do everywhere. There are amazing restaurants from all over the world. It's impossible for me to write down all the best places I've been to there, or all the places I wish I had time to visit. But here's a list nonetheless.

Markets

• Camdem: the largest market of London, it's full of street food from all over the world, weird stuff, odd clothes, hipster bars but it's also packed with people during the weekend. If you go for late lunch you'll get plenty of free samples and discounts.
• Bricklane: is the next big hipster market, it's only one long street but it has something to it. It's a lot of food of course, but you'll also find clubs and bars as it is in the trendy shoreditch district of London. An alley with pop up stores as well.
• Brixton pop: smaller than the previous two markets, this one is more of a nice place to drink during the evening/night. A container garden if you will.
• Mercato Metropolitano: much smaller, but has a nice bee
