Also, most food-obsessed professional NY people I know view eating/drinking as the main (perhaps exclusive) hobbies. That seems very boring to me, but to each their own.

Going to restaurants has definitely become the default hobby for a certain class of boring millenials. It's about as interesting as running or triathlons -- somebody else who does it might want with you talk about it, but nobody else in the world cares. It's pretty much exactly the kind of hobby I'd expect for a lawyer.

The difference between Kirkland SF and Kirkland Chicago is that Kirkland SF associates have better weather and Kirkland Chicago associates have (generally) better food.

ETA: you’re an asshole

My case for why the Bay has some of the best food in the country has two assumptions underpining it: (1) for restraurants you include at least Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, like you might with Greater NYC, and (2) you appreciate having a wide variety of fresh produce available year round and often at good prices. I would much rather cook from home in the Bay versus Chicago or NYC.

Lol V50 F-boys quick to change the ol’ subject

I mean, no one’s getting “F”’d based on the name of the boring law firm you work at. Hbu, what’s your favorite late night eats in NYC?

Except that one Skadden poster on another thread

The Skadden F-boys are an obvious exception, we all know that works (though we will never admit it out loud). I also always thought “Ropes and Gray” has a sensual taste as it leaves the mouth.

Facts. While I doubt any of my colleagues have gotten a girl based on our firm name, I truly believe Skadden is the coolest sounding law firm of the Vault list. (A little biased of course)

Skadden sounds cool until you recite the full name.

Bruh, you guys have one of the grossest sounding law firm names in the game. Up there with Weil in terms of ew names. Some actual nice sounding names would be Sullcrom, Slaughter & May, W&C (both, honestly). Also, if you get F'd because of the name of your firm, I don't want to see the quality of people you're F'ing. At least in NYC, being a lawyer just isn't that impressive. You make less than a shit ton of ppl and you don't do anything cool enough to justify making less.

Anyway - to the people asking why we are talking about restaurants. I mean it's a lot better than talking about law firm prestige - which we've already covered is nonsense. If you want me to flex the credentials to say this, I'm at a V5 and still think prestige is garbage. I'd love to work for a firm that can offer me lower billable hours and the same pay. Sadly, doesn't really exist. V50s that pay the same, crank up the hours on you to afford it cuz they're charging their clients less.

V100s that work less fuck you at bonus time. That's it - money; I'll just work for where I'm guaranteed the most money for least work (with the caveat that I gotta be in NY)

Skadden's name (short or in full) reads and sounds like what I'd imagine English-speakers would close-caption a Flemish guy coughing or choking, if they had to approximate the sounds.

I know you didn’t mean anything by it, but I did smile at you choosing two Jewish-name-partner firms (Skadden & Weil) as your “ew names” and a bunch of WASP firms as the “nice sounding” ones.

Again, not casting any aspersions.

Edit: I stand somewhat corrected, apparently Skadden’s founders were Jewish and Catholic.

Wachtell, on the other hand, has a dope name.

But maybe there's something to Anglo-Saxon names sounding more pleasant to English-speakers, ceteris paribus? I mean, they probably sound ridiculous to native Yiddish-speakers.

Haha no offense taken - I noticed it also while I was typing it out. Tbf, I think there's Jewish-name-partner firms that sound really nice, like Proskauer. I just don't think Skadden and Weil sound nice.
