Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Your horn-rimmed glass say otherwise. Don't forget your scarf!Preliminary whine. If I want to see the City Reliquary Museum in New York this week, I have to do it first thing once I get there.
Which means my very first stop upon getting to the city is... Willamsburg.
I'M NOT A HIPSTER, DAMMIT!!
Browline, TYVM.Your horn-rimmed glass say otherwise. Don't forget your scarf!
Khakis and polo/aloha shirt should kill off any lingering hipsterness.
The trilby, however....Browline, TYVM.

The whole ensemble could be considered "too mainstream."
Out trying to get a Milky Way picture in our Neighbourhood. Bad street lamps and drunk people at the house on the corner. Someone is puking. Omg let me get my picture before they see me!!
I cannot figure out how to play podcasts that are on my phone. I put them on my phone, I open the app, I click on the podcast button and then...!
The list is empty.

200 calories of those foods is like 6 cups worth, which if you're still hungry, what the hell man? How big is your stomach?I just had myself a healthy 200 calorie snack of carrots, celery and broccoli.
I think I'm hungrier than before I ate it.
Not that big, he had ranch dip with them, really adds the calories on.
No, no, it's a particular app I use. MediaMonkey. It used to work just fine - and for everything else, it still does.[DOUBLEPOST=1434317564,1434317528][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I am on Android, so there is no built in podcast app.

Okay, that didn't click with me because I wasn't viewing the likes as being for me, I viewed them as being for my friend, so I didn't make the mental connection of Jay trying for upvotes.

I'm an American. My main exposure to Chinese food is finding out who in town has the best General Tso's chicken. Every now and then I get steamed pork buns from the local Asian market to microwave at home.
But this. This is Flushing's Chinatown. This is the big time. And the options available are overwhelming. I have no clue what to try or where to go. And ordering General Tso's will just out me as an Ugly American, no matter what else I do or say.

*smacks with newspaper* No! Bad! Stay away from General Tsao's!
Now, what you're going to do is go to 66 Prince and order the "pai gui fan". Then, you're going to walk down Main Street, and go to the corner when you see the giant bowl on top of a building (there's a Starbucks across the street from it). You're going to go to the steam bun restaurant right behind that building with the bowl on top and stuff your face. (I can't remember the name, but it's right behind Monster KTV karaoke.) Then, if you're still there on the weekend, you're going to go Jade Asian for dim sum in the morning and go get some coffee-tea over and the Tai Pan bakery (and some snacks, if you're hungry).
There only is when you're surrounded by good, authentic Asian cuisine and you're ordering General Tsao's, an American invention.

I still don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's only wrong if you're assuming it's "authentic" Chinese food.
Unless of course the authentic you're looking for is American Chinese invented by Chinese immigrants and styled after native Chinese dishes. Including General Tso's chicken, which is heavily based on a real Hunan Chinese dish.

Maybe not "heavily". According to The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, the only Hunan dishes that come vaguely close are Mala or Kung pao. The breaded fried chicken and the addition of broccoli were concocted in the US during the 1970s expanding Chinese-food craze.
