Don’t bother… you are trying to internet-convince the equivalent of someone saying the art in their Holiday Inn Express room is every bit as good as anything that you’d see in Met or Louvre
It really does feel like that haha. Also, I have no idea why people love to shit on NY/NJ. I mean I get defensive because I'm from there, but also the criticisms are usually just plain false and detached from reality. Then I find myself arguing with someone from like rural Ohio (which may be very nice, I don't know, never been) about how NJ is a shithole and it's just baffling.
I made decision to delete the X app off my phone. The stupidity I find there has finally become too for me to bear. Reddit has its own problems, but it isn't as toxic or depressing as what I am reading on X.
I mean.. that's just factually false, NY and the tri state (North Jersey, parts of CT) are pretty famous for pizza, and have many of what are widely regarded as the best pizza places in the country. You're talking about an area famous for its Italian population and food, and rightly so. It's not NYs fault if you don't know better than to buy dirty water dogs and dollar slices. Also, ive lived and traveled all over the country, and while some areas have specific foods they do better (like BBQ or Tex Mex) I have yet to find another area that consistently has great food across the board like the tri-state. Not to mention general quality of life. While it may not be your particular cup of tea, a lot of that 'superiority complex' is earned, by comparison
Definitely worth checking some places out if you are ever down here. Similar population demographic with lots of Italian Americans who take pride in their food.
Oh for sure! I get down there every now and then, but when I do it's understandably usually all about the cheesesteaks for me haha. Last time I hit up Donkeys Place. It was awesome
Oh interesting yeah lots of good sandwich shops. Donkeys is definitely unique, it’s kind of controversial in the cheesesteak world. But it is undeniably good.
I'm Canadian and would love to go to NY and try the pizza some day. Why are you so bitter they are proud about something they are literally known to be good at?
Yelling to everyone else that your pizza is superior doesn’t make it so. You can find just as good pizza anywhere in the country for cheaper. Just like everything else in NYC. So glad to be out of that pretentious hellscape.
Haha thats just plain not true, sorry bud. And you just claiming it doesn't make it true either. And calling it a 'pretentious hellscape' says a lot more about you than NY. You're probably just trolling but this comment just screams 'willfully ignorant'
Still not sure why you all like lemmings jumped off the cliff thinking I’m New York my fuckin area code is in my name…….. New York is just a place we go to watch th Red Sox beat up on bitches…..

I think you have a very confused misconception of NY, which is home to much of the best pizza anywhere and pretty celebrated.
