"Oh The Culture!" Real Talk, "Culture" Is Probably Better In 2nd/3rd Tier Cities
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 18th, 2017 12:13 PM Author: flesh parlor windowlicker than mfh. pddj and i were talking about this over the weekend. and about how, for example, in a 2nd/3rd tier city, you can see a play at the quaint local playhouse for cheap and w/o faggy pretentiousness of some competitive ticket process. mfh everything is faggy, snobby, competitive, expensive, etc.
and how any kind of cultural/food festival in mfh is totally hijacked by GC sponsors. how all the farmers' markets are fraudlies GC, etc. |

Date: November 28th, 2017 3:30 PM Author: excitant french stag film yeah, you're basically describing what happens to the tippy top of anything.
take sports for example. you can go watch the US Open and it will be expensive and your seats on Ashe will be shitty, and there will be people sipping champagne and just there for the experience.
OTOH, you can probably go to a challenger tournament and watch a match between players ranked in the top 200 in the world and se very high level, quality competition for next to nothing, in seats right on the action, and i'd bet you could probably get access to the players and shit too.
----------------------------------------
as an example, i like symphonic music. rather than spend the money and deal with the bullshit of the NY Philharmonic, lots of times i will go see like the Yale or Columbia orchestra, or there are lots of nice local symphonies outside the city that provide great entertainment for a fraction of the cost and hassle. |

srs, good poast. the problem is that in mfh, pretty much everything is the tippy top of anything and it's hard to find local shit. |

Date: November 28th, 2017 3:51 PM Author: flesh parlor windowlicker true. but we've gone so wacky that you can probably see a better traditional play (like shakespeare or something) in some downstream theatre than some faggy kike garbage in MFH that goes for theatre.

Date: November 28th, 2017 3:56 PM Author: Mildly Autistic National Ceo Why? There are obviously amazing restaurants in NYC, some of the best in the world, but there is a lot of shit out there - most of it, especially in MFH. Brooklyn and Queens have some interesting places that are new and exciting but they too are pretty dull compared to other exciting new, fresh food scenes.

Date: November 28th, 2017 4:06 PM Author: Mildly Autistic National Ceo Something that hasn't been done before. Perhaps a cuisine that is evolving. Charleston is a great example of this with the reintroduction of gullah-geechee recipes from Africa which the slaves brought over with them. You're not having salmon or tuna - you're eating the world's best triggerfish freshly caught that morning. In NYC you have, in some sense, the best of everything but perhaps at the expense of the next best thing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3767640&forum_id=2#34791328) |

Date: November 28th, 2017 4:05 PM Author: charismatic school cafeteria NYC is overpriced across the board
But every level of food, from high end to mid range to cheap, is better than in any place in the South, in terms of both variety and quality.

Date: November 28th, 2017 4:07 PM Author: Mildly Autistic National Ceo Could not disagree more! There are so many restaurants I've been to in Memphis, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Nashville, Austin and Huntsville that have no equal in NYC for their respective cuisine.

Date: November 28th, 2017 4:30 PM Author: flesh parlor windowlicker i dont know much about the south, but i do think a positive of GC/globalization is that there's more information sharing about how to do a "haute cuisine" restaurant properly. it's easier than ever before for a 3rd tier city chef to figure out how to replicate a mfh restaurant.

Date: November 28th, 2017 4:01 PM Author: excitant french stag film the rental costs have really wreaked havoc on the city. not only does it favor national chains, but it also puts so much pressure on businesses that it creates tons of turnover, so you end up losing the concept of local joints that have been around forever and give a place it's character. think a Barney Greengrass type place for example -- much harder for those types of places to survive today.

Date: November 28th, 2017 3:48 PM Author: Mildly Autistic National Ceo Visited some friends who moved to Charleston, SC and was so impressed. I would move there in a heartbeat if not for my family being in NYC. What a fun and idyllic place to live. I was left asking myself, cynically, 'what's the catch?' - but there is no catch, it really is close to perfect. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3767640&forum_id=2#34791186) |
