A question for New Yorkers.?

Friday, July 30th, 2010

I currently live in South Carolina and Memphis is as urban as I’ve been exposed to. I plan t go to culinary school in New York though. Any advice you could give me about going from a rural to an urban area, staying safe, and finding a job/place to live?

well you should def save up live in NY. (in a one bedroom condo on the upper west side it costs 1000 a month for property tax alone. its not a big condo either!) find a job before you move here. and finding an apartment is pretty hard so get started now! look in the ny newspaper websites. you could be put on a waiting list for more than three years! i suggest finding a place (for manthattan) from down in the business district (downtown 20′s) up to 110th street. i like in new york and i don’t like going past 120th street because it gets a little scary for me there. it doesn’t matter if you want the east or west side. but for the east side the lower the avenue you’re looking at (ave not street) the harder it is to get there. west side isn’t as hard.

and start looking for a job now too. once again try the newspapers. and websites online.

i think that it’d be best if you visit a couple of times before you move to get used to the train systems. in a way, learning the train systems are like an art ya know? unless you want to take a taxi everywhere which is totally up to you but def costs more (2.50 initial charge and 0.40 for ever 1/4 of a mile. at i think .20 for every minute you stop at like a light or something. going 20 blocks in a taxi could cost you around 7 dollars when you could just take the bus/train for 2.00)

also staying safe. stay in well lit areas? its pretty simple as that. uhm in the trains when you see bums in the corner of the train car move to a different car (cuz they reek) and when they ask for money don’t give it because it is illegal. if you see a bum going through the train yelling at people about how you are such a loser just ignore them and look down. don’t try to pick a fight with them because then they’ll never go away.

a couple of tips for the train. buy the 30 day unlimited metrocards. when you live in NYC you tend to use the metrocards a lot. unless you drive everywhere. during the summer if you see that theres not a lot of people in that one car more than likely that car’s AC broke so go to the next one quickly! it could also be that theres a bum there that stinks.

all in all just be prepared to move a fast pace. stay to the right on the sidewalks (and streets if you drive). and enjoy your life in the city =D

Return to the Old School! Hong Kong’s New Martial Arts Cinema at NYAFF 2010

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

After 2009′s film, IP MAN, became a massive box office hit, savvy Hong Kong producers, eager to make a buck, unleashed a whole wave of old school martial arts films that went back to basics: no CGI, no fancy wire work, no fakery. Instead, they were all about blazing hand-to-hand combat, hard-falling stuntmen and lightning fast kung fu. In conjunction with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office New York, this year’s NYAFF features a special focus on Hong Kong’s new wave of old school kung fu.

The line-up includes Jackie Chan’s latest movie, LITTLE BIG SOLDIER; a rollicking action comedy starring a gallery of old school greats like Bruce Leung and Chen Kuan-tai, GALLANTS; an encore presentation of the IP MAN, the movie that started it all, and IP MAN 2 which has become the number one Asian movie of 2010, out-grossing even Bollywood’s biggest hits at the box office.

There’s also Hong Kong’s major 2009 blockbuster, BODYGUARDS & ASSASSINS, which we’re screening with DEVELOPMENT HELL, a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of this legendary “cursed” production; the cracked and crazy cooking kung fu flick, KUNG FU CHEFS; and the totally mad throwback to visually bonkers Hong Kong comic books of the 70′s, THE STORM WARRIORS.

From Culinary Institute of America to Boston?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Hi, I’m considering transferring from my school in New York City to the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, NY. I’m from outside of Boston, originally (Lowell), and my family and girlfriend live there. Does anyone know about any buses or trains that run from the Hyde Park area back to Mass and how expensive / accessible they are?

You have to take the Metro North train into NYC and then take Amtrak back to Boston.

Should I study in New York?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Hi,

I am planning to study culinary arts in New York since my grand dad is in Maspeth. I am from Manila Philippines and I’d like to ask some questions:

1. Can you suggest a culinary school that is not that expensive like Culinary Institute of America?

2. Do you think I can easily a part time job while I am there?

3. Do people really lose money? Cause back here in Manila, the average Filipino families earns $4 / day. Do you think If I go there in New York, it’s going to be the same thing?

Dude if you can live on $4 a day in New York then you should have your own TV show. New York is the most expensive city in America basically, so you might want to consider elsewhere if money is an issue.
