When I gave the subletter the rundown, I made sure to mention all of the great Bangladeshi food here in Little Bangladesh. Besides 20 pound bags of Basmati rice and jars of mixed pickle, most of the grocery stores also have prepared food and dine-in areas which pleasantly recall the cafeterias of yesteryear. The food is delicious and the energy is perfect. My go-to is Aladin, but I’ll occasionally grab a breakfast special at Bangla Bazar if I need to have a meeting in the morning.

Was walking by randomly in Fort Greene and decided to check it out — very good! The person taking orders was so nice and they give you a little cup of chai while you wait for your takeout. big portions and the biryani slapped.

Curry Hill icon. Want a masala tea, samosas, or fresh barfi to go? No problem. Also it is impossible to leave without the owner gifting you a mango. Trust.

I guess this newsletter is partly about advising people on how to spend their money, which is not something I particularly love doing…but I will direct your attention to the war going on in Ukraine. Being from Ukraine, lots of people have asked me for context on what’s happening, but I don’t live there and don’t feel like an authority. Still what seems clear to me: Ukraine is the target of an aggressive invasion by the army of a madman who places no value on human life. The Ukrainian forces, including many civilians, are putting up an incredible fight from a defensive position. The country faces a terrible loss of life and infrastructure. The defenders will need as much support as they can get and civilians welcome all humanitarian aid. Here’s a good guide with vetted orgs, if you can help 💙THANK YOU💛 I hope with all my might this horror is over soon and that Ukrainians have peace for many generations.

One of the reasons most of the DIY movie streamers died out is because the pandemic came to a close…but I’m sure there’ll be a new one soon enough (depending on how long the war goes on for). So, when the new lockdown hits, I just want you to know you're now entering the best time to travel. I never really got a chance to travel before COVID, but since everyone was scared to fly, tickets became super cheap and every city that’s usually flooded with tourists was suddenly chill. I was thriving (read: trying to ignore my impending divorce) in a desolate, locals-only Venice, Italy circa June 2021 and it was absolutely awesome.
