I mean this is a good theory for any other city but NY. There are restaurants here that are not on any tik tok, always making money, years of regulars and new, and no lines or res. Like TONS of them. I’ve lived here my whole life , and I never, including these days, have a problem going out and being spontaneous

I love to bar/restaurant hop. But reservation culture killed it.

clock it!! the best pizza/bagel/coffee in nyc is the one closest to you that takes 5 minutes not the one that made you queue for an hour

This is a hugeeeee issue in Boston. Everything new that opens up is like lab built for social media, impossible to get into, and it usually kinda sucks….AND it just shuts down in a couple years when the hype dies down.

I am so glad they talk about how it ruins spontaneity. Whenever I want to have fun I just stumble into places, and thats become increasingly difficult nowadays 😭 but when I do it those are always my best finds

I absolutely refuse to wait in a line more than 5 minutes unless it's a ticketed event or something I absolutely need. I've left my usual coffee shop by my job because the line was too long.

They just need to stop standing in line for branded bagels. Stop blindly following the hype.

Anyone who has tastebuds and standards knows that tiktok recs are NOT good. If it’s hyped on TT I go the opposite way.

You also used to be able to grab a bar seat while waiting 15-20mins for a table but now it’s stacked up rows behind the bar seats with a line outside 😭

2008-2019 NYC was a perfect storm captured in time that will unfortunately never exist again

I get what you mean but i feel like it’s mostly just a few hyped/really popular places or fine dining restaurants that are difficult to walk in? I still do walk ins most of the times here

Every time I see a new story about NYC I get more depressed about what the city has become. Spontaneity is what MADE the city so unique and fun.

The soho lines. Plenty of great places in NYC. Could walk 3 blocks and order instead of waiting in a line.

line culture is what killed NY for me. no vibes left anymore. nothing to discover. just lines.
