NYU C/O 2016 Applicants Thread!!! (Woooooo!!!!!) Forum

[Swimp]

What I do know, is that there is an Indian foodcart on Washington Square South and Sullivan that is amazing. Really cheap and really delicious. I've gone there so many times now that the guy knows me, my brother, and my father by name and every time one of us goes, he asks about the others. Also, in the winter, he gives cups of hot soup to people waiting on line. He wins all kinds of streetcart awards (apparently those exist lol)

Yeah, the dosa guy. Love that dude.

[francesfarmer]

I got the call today, officially offering admissions, but I missed it and found the voicemail after. I'm not supposed to call back, right? I've missed my chance to shriek on the phone like a child who just got a new toy?

Also, I second shntn's post. I love Washington Square Park. It's been under renovations for a really long time now, so parts of it have been closed for years, but it should all be opening up pretty soon. Also, Mamoun's is great, so I'll second that as well. I haven't been to many burger places in the village so I don't know about those.

I am a vegetarian and therefore all of my suggestions are vegetarian. Let this list offset the burger discussion for anyone who is so inclined:

There is a really delicious ethiopian place across and down a little from Mamoun's. Also, Quantum Leap has the best vegetarian cobb salad I have ever had in my life. Red Bamboo is expensive but 100% worth it. Sacred Chow has delicious sangria, and weird food that non-vegetarian people will think is bad but vegetarians think is delicious.

Also the mushroom burger at Shake Shack is amazing.

Union Square (where I used to work) is tits.

BTW all this talk about burgers is ignoring the best thing in the city these days.

I love the fake shrimp at Red Bamboo!

Also, shocked that nobody said this yet....POMMES FRITES IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! All they sell is french fries and crazy sauces to dip them in. At one point I was going twice a week (class down the block from there). So delicious it's scary

[Swimp]

I know this is a touchy subject, but I think John's of Bleecker is the best pizza in Manhattan. They only sell pies though.

going along this junk food tangent, i'll put my vote in for crifs for best hot dogs and cheap @$$ beer. $2.50 for PBRs.

The drum sticks at red bamboo OMGAH

And yeah pommes frittes. If you're up in that area you should go to B&H dairy which is an amazing vegetarian polish restaurant which I think is on the same block. THE. BEST. BORSCHT. Better and cheaper than Veselka.

Y'all making me like NYU more. Hush.

Plus, you can step through the secret door behind the phone booth and spend some of the money you saved at Crif Dogs at PDT.

Who cares about health code violations? Even if there were 44 of them.

Hahaha I hadn't seen that yet. I'm sticking by my story, though. It's some damn good pizza.

Percy's is better, imo.

Skip PDT and go to Raines Law Room.

(Disclaimer: I have never been to PDT.)

I like Raines better too (and I've been to both numerous times). I've been to a lot of those speakeasy-type places. They're pricey but a lot of fun.

[shntn]

Cosigned. I love the booths. And the bathroom wallpaper.

I've never used the bathroom there, but if it's anything like the rest of the wallpaper, it's awesome. (Hint: look really closely.)

What a weird place for that NYC restaurant discussion to trail off.

(Edited to remove 'epic' as an adjective after skimming it again. But, still. You guys know your restaurants.)

At least it's not another round of ED acceptances I'm missing out on

Ha. That's because you haven't seen the wallpaper at Raines. (I assume, with no evidence to back this up.)

Alright, here. This is the RLR's wallpaper.

Somehow this has just totally sold me on NY; winter be damned. (Though I will miss In-N-Out, if we're gonna bring this back to food)

Checking in.

Submitted 12/12 after receiving email with FW, and went UR today (12/14).

[sstefanik]

Silly question, but where do I find my username/password to check the status of my application on the NYU website? (I just applied yesterday, so totally possible that they send an email and I haven't gotten it yet...)

Yeah, they'll send an email. Don't stress if it takes a little while to come. It'll make it's way to you. Mine took a week (but it was the hurricane sandy week, so take that with a grain of salt)
