Kids are born with some McDonalds gene or something and they crave it from an early age. Even if you don't take them to fast food often whenever you do what they will want is McDonalds. |

Yeah, went to WC a lot late nights back then....especially after a night of drinking, we always wound up at White Castle, as there was nothing else. |

And that's what I didn't understand. he was talking about how great "BK and Wendy's was", and how NY is a burger heaven. And that may be true, there's nothing wrong probably with any of the places mentioned, they are probably all great, I have have many "best burgers in the world" in NY places.... But the truth is, I have had the "best burgers in the world" in many places all over the country. NY doesn't have a monopoly on "burgers" or "good burger places". |

You're the reason I tried a Ruby Tuesday's burger last year. I remember you saying you liked their burgers. I never would've tried it, because I usually have the Cajun Seafood platter. |

And especially in the touristy areas of Florida.

Ahh yes, the "Smokehouse Burger"....not bad for a chain restaurant burger. Of course, there are probably many "mom and pop" bar and grill burgers that are better, but there's certainly nothing wrong with Ruby Tuesday's burgers.I have had their Cajun Seafood platter and that is pretty good too. I like Ruby Tuesday. |

Here's a picture that I took of that store. But I meant that my local 7-Eleven has been robbed. I don't know how often it happens, but I went in there a few years ago right after it was robbed and they never even closed the store. The police were in there investigating and the guy that was robbed was ringing up my order. I got the impression that it happened every once in a while, but of course that would never make the papers unless someone was shot. |

As I noted to AEM-7AC #901, they are rightly compared only to each other, not to places that serve a proper burger. As for some of the best burgers, period, you have the list. |

Or Big Mac, or Whoppers, of Wendy's Double Cheeseburgers. You can't compare that kind of burger to masterpieces like, say, the Spotted Pig's juicy, special blend of choice ground beef from a great supplier with Roquefort cheese! |

We're a major burger city, perhaps the tops!I stand by that. But not because of White Castle or Burger King. As I noted, we're 'perhaps' the tops. It's arguable. I think that the consensus view in the burger community is that we are, but there are dissenters. |

You seem like you're a connoisseur.Guilty as charged when it comes to hamburgers. You could very well be correct, but as far as the burgers that are available to regular people on a daily basis we have more and better options. I began on my burger quest when I was a student. It's certainly accessible to almost everyone. However, I know what you mean about other forms of accessibility. And I agree. And NYers always think that whatever they have is the best. Chinese, Italian, hot dogs, pizza, etc. We're a major foodie city. Chinese and Italian we do great. Hot dogs and pizza, I'm nowhere near as confident. I think that a lot of our pizza places are overrated; not to say that we don't have some great ones. |

If I ever moved permanently away from the NY Metro area, I would only miss: buttered rolls/bagels at convenience stores/delis, individual slices of NY style pizza, and knishes (round, square, potato, and kashe). Otherwise, just about anything else New York City has to offer is the same or better everywhere else. |

Especially along Kings Highway in Brooklyn, near the Brighton Line. Just about every pizza place I remember from my youth has disappeared, and they either have been replaced by places run by middle eastern people serving pita bread covered with ketchup and american cheese and calling it pizza, or nothing at all. |

LA is big enough that you could probably find all that here, but the number of options would be extremely limited. But I never liked NYC pizza. We have plenty of places that sell pizza by the slice and they taste just as bad as NYC pizza to me. I don't have the taste buds for that food I guess. |

NYC is very likely the premier foodie city in the US, but they still tend to overrate themselves. Sometimes I check out Eater LA and Eater NY and the NY crowd doesn't take anything outside of NYC (Manhattan really) seriously. I've seen commentors argue that they even have better Korean and Mexican food than LA! Another thing that I disagree with is NYC Chinese food, at least in Manhattan. I've never been to Flushing, but what they call NYC style Chinese food in Manhattan is very Americanized. Not bad really, but far from excellent. |

Today, in Sarasota, I found two Amish restaurants, and one "Dutch PA" restaurant in Bradenton.There were Amish people walking around the area. I asked someone at The Granary(An organic, health food store) about the Amish restaurants, and I was told they have great food. I didn't even know the Amish had a presence down here, but was told some of them are millionaires from their businesses up north, and like the warm weather too, so they came here. |

I've ridden on the buses in both NYC and LA. I've also ridden the buses with a few other major transit agencies: MUNI and WMATA being the next two largest. For the sake of a NY vs. LA argument, from my observations, the advantages that NY has are:- generally more frequent buses - noticeably cleaner buses (much less trash and tagging and the buses are more "presentable") - more "upscale" clientèle The advantages LA has are: - clear differentiation between RAPID and Local buses - a relatively useful "automatic stop annunciator" system (NYC doesn't have one) - easy to read maps and easy to use signage Both systems, IMHO, are REALLY good compared to others throughout the country. |

I would expect that NYC is on a different level in terms of frequency. LA is probably more like Phoenix than NYC.I think that the biggest complaint that LA bus riders have is infrequent buses. After that it's buses passing them without stopping. I can deal with waiting for a bus, but waiting and then having the bus not stop is super frustrating! That happened to me last week. And that was the third time. Considering that I rarely ride it sure seems like a lot. |
