Jonathan Gold, quoted in this week’s New Yorker, talking about the difference between Chinese food in New York and Los Angeles.  Add that to your arsenal of cultural comparisons next time you get sucked into that old “NY vs. LA” debate.  New York gets the American Chinese food.  Los Angeles gets the Chinese Chinese food. (via spiegelman)

Not universally true in either direction in either city.

What!?! You’re telling me the asian food is worse in NY than it is in LA? Shit, maybe I should rethink the whole moving to New York in a few years thing. SF may be slowly driving me away, but at least the asian food is amazing.

Speaking of amazing, went to Shangri-La last night, it was fantastic (great nepalese place).
